I love that word. Spelunking....

About the cave, if the player's going through, it's likely that the cave has some level of human activity, leading to wider caverns.
Lol, I love it too, it sounds so cool. Anyways, I guess you're right, there's not much chance of traveling through an untouched cave.

So they dug into the ceiling until it was over 100ft high? I don't think so. These caves have been preserved as much as possible afaik. They even cut off part of the caves due to human damage.
Wtf. Caves are formed by water eroding through the ground, and finding a path to follow. Caves always have tall ceilings, but you can't show that in a map.

I've edit a lil bit the palettes of the trees maybe you'll recognize the difference ;)
I hope you like it^^
Spoiler:
Comments: I like the feel you put in there with the houses secluded into the trees and such. The mixing of the two trees together makes for a nice feel, nice. I also like the shape of the trees, gives it a nice look.

Rating: 6/10

Suggestions: Well...I'm not too sure what to say here. I guess the map feels a little too cramped, but the map's so small that's all I can offer. Sorry.

Towns look better if you use similar looking buildings, you have a very wide variety from different tilesets.

Your town has no border. Look at all the other maps in this thread that got high ratings, all of them have either mountain or tree borders, whilst yours is just walk wherever you want.

The path that goes about the gym goes nowhere?

The trees in the middle are annoyingly regular, space them out a bit and make it look natural.

I know you were going for some kind of canyon effect, but the town is living in almost a perfect rectangle! Have a look at some of the mapping tutorials to see how to make mountains look more natural.
Thank you so much! U Gave A Very Detailed Answer And I Know Everything I Need To Fix! Thank You!

How Bout This? i can't fix the rectangle because i would have to start from scratch-
i fixed the path (not much better, i know)
i made a border (still looks like crap, i know)
the trees just annoy me, but i did it anyway (i don't even know why)
it looks like crap and i don't even know why i try- here it is, have fun

Well, you definitely are improving, so don't give up. You still have a ways to go though. Your trees should be more randomly placed, not all in a big square. The same thing with all plants for the most part. They grow in random places in real life, try to imitate that. The building on water is a bad idea. And finally, try to mix up the mountainside a little. Put small open areas in so it's not so straight, with a tree here and there, and bits of grass.
This map is a decent example of how to do mountains/cliffs.

PLEASE DO NOT STEAL OTHER PEOPLES MAPS!

You Map is an exact copy of my Map "Dahai" from my Hack Legend of Fenju
you just used another tileset
dunno where you got it from since i didnt release mapshots of it i think, maybe you got the old bugged alpha, it might be in there

but, pls, dont say it is not copied cause it 100% is
just look at my map and compare it to yours:
my original one (outdated already, i changed some things, it looks better now):
Spoiler:

and here is your copy:
Spoiler:

notice any similarities?
You even copied the building and tree placement!!!
its as if you just changed the tileset! there are a lot of tile errors btw...
youre like one of 4 persons who got me mad in pc... two were extremely getting on my nerves and the last one stole a background-image from my thread
i hope you feel guilty

oh and your new version ahs even more tile errors since now you mapped yourself and you cant map
well here are the similarities?
vermillion[1].PNG
that um.. about 50% of your map

dunno where you got it from since i didnt release mapshots of it i think, maybe you got the old bugged alpha, it might be in there
NO!!!!!! I GOT IT FROM A NETERNET SITE!

and it is in Png. so you have to put in on A-map mannly!
so it not just your map with a different tilset

and why is this making you mad.........................if this happen to me
- say postive things 'and you cant map' put's pepole down (your lucky i'm not going to report you)
- If someone did use my work well that would be a good thing, because it shoes they like my map, and want to use there mnap to imporved there mapping skills
- and what would i do with a copyed map!!!!!! (put it in my hack.....well I have not)

Yeah, but that's the IMPORTANT part. It's like stealing the money and credit cards from a wallet but leaving the business cards, train tickets and restaurant vouchers. And when you look closer, it's the whole map you stole.
And what's "neternet"?
He's mad...because you stole his map? :O
He doesn't need to be nice to thieves. You can't map well, and stealing maps isn't going to make you better. And reporting someone for not being nice ends up with nothing.
Uh, copying and using as your own doesn't make you better.
You just showed it to us for a rate...?

Now so this isn't spam, I'll post a map for you to rate.

in my own words
taking something that isn't yours for a personal\unpersonal reson. this would lead a disavage to the victcm or others

SO THIS IS NOT STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I have edited that map as you can see from my earliar post's!

Ninja Caterpie map 9\10

Your understanding is harshly, harshly screwed. If I took your hack and sold it for money, would you lose? No. Is it stealing? YES.

If we use a real dictionary..."to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment" or "to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right".

You have no right to his work, and you took it. Thus you stole.

And on my map, I never knew that it had to have shading. xD Better fix that.

Once again, please don't edit.

COMMENT: I like that mart-building thingy there, but could it really stand on two to three tiles on the ground? Or is that building thin enough to fit in that little space? I also like the ground, by the way...

Map Name: Strangetown
Map Game: FireRed
Comments: The first town in my hack, Pokemon Lavender. Strangetown is where the player and his/her best friend, Zackwell, live. It is in the middle of the Crystal Forest, and it sports one of the two Pokemon labs in the Twi region, the other lab being situated in Twilight Town. It also boasts a few stats, such as the cleanest air, friendliest citizens, and smallest town in the region.

Mm, this is nice. The mountains are, hands down, the best looking mountains I have ever seen, truthfully. The shape is just...phenomenal. One thing I don't like though is the abundance of rocks on the mountains, especially in the southern half of the map. They're just a little too dense for my tastes. As for vegetation, the flower usage could be improved. You seem to have made flowers an exclusively left-side-of-the-map thing. You could easily remove a few of those path-colored bump tiles and replace them with flowers (or bushes but those are used more effectively). The way flowers are used by the southwestern house really upsets me :( I'm also not too fond of the way you used small trees. The vertical-row method has never sat well with me but that's more of a personal opinion. Path shape is decent, albeit sporadic here and there. What I don't like is the way it kind of folds over in some places where you used two corner tiles on either side of each other. It creates a big indent in the path that, if used minimally, would look good but it seems you've overdone it :\ Fence usage is really good save when it is used behind the trees. Other than that, it's nice and tranquil-looking. What's odd is the pond because it has moving water but the water isn't going anywhere :\ If it was the still-water pond (like the one just south of it), then I wouldn't have a problem with it (though the shape is a little iffy as well).

Still, it's quite a lovely map. Those tiles compliment your style of mapping very well. All in all, it's a map that was a great pleasure to rate. Well done :)
