Hmm, this really is not a good map at all.
I'll give it a 2/10, reason: the waterfall doesn't work, look at Cape Brink (I think thats what it is, the one with the waterfall.) The only thing I like in this map is the placement of trees.

The cliffs are not good at all, the water doesnt seem real at all, and the paths are ginormous. It must have taken barely 5 minutes to make this map. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I have to show honesty in my map rating.



Now here is my map: It's a forest, I haven't thought of the name for it yet. Also, do not mind the uglyness of the bridge please.

Spoiler:

The exit is at the south east by the way, and there is a reason there is no entrance.

Dude! You stole that from my rating of YOUR map! Well, it's good to see that info passed along, seeing how no one seems to know how to make correct waterfalls.

To keep this on topic, I guess I'll have to rate a map:

Please rate =D

Map Name: Hugelheim
Comments: Well, I'm starting to improve my hack wit new tiles and palettes and well...
thats one map that came out after a bit editing.

This is a pretty good map. It's a very tranquil, peaceful little town. My main concerns are that there is grass in the town (a big mapping no-no) and the mountains (I think there's a physical impossibility somewhere in there). However, I really like the palettes and the general feel of the map, especially the lake/bay/body of water. I'll give it a 6/10 but it could easily have been higher if you fixed some errors.

This is a starter Village called SunnySoul Village:

Please Rate it!

it might just be me but i think some trees are overlapping incorrectly

Here's map I've posted previously but nobody rated.

Comments: I've fixed a few tile errors. It is a starter town. There is a new grass tile. It's unusual and I think it'll probably be love-it or hate it, although I think it could be made better by palette-editing. I also know that a the path doesn't really fit in with it, so I will probably change that at some point too. Any suggestions about how to do the path, palette changes how to improve the grass tile etc. are greatly appreciated. So could you please rate maybe the tile and map separately? Thanks.

Please rate.

are you really thinking anyone will download an archive to rate a map?
no offense to you, but it could be a virus
post the image please

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Urrrka...
It's too empty, really.
I don't know what to say. The mountain shape is wicked but it's far too bland... Look at other icy maps for help, I don't use ice. (yet)

 

[Hiche..]

Thanks for the reply, Dark lakitu. I'll try fixing it.
I'm new to mapping you see.
and Neti, I can't post the image, only in archive.
sorry for that (keeps giving me errors)
It's not a virus or anything, I assure you.
Thanks in advance.

PC only lets .png .gif and such but not .bmp & .dib in attachments

4/10, it is really REALLY empty, but it isn't too bad.

It isn't a virus. I checked it out already.

I think I should take a break from rating your maps. After that last rating essay, I think I should rate other people's maps.

you know, the bad virusses are always the ones you dont notice ;-)
i dont really believe that he was trying to post a virus, and i dont belive that there is a virus ine archive, but safety goes first
so could you pls post an image of the map?
you dont have 15 posts already so you cant post images right? but yo ucan still post the url of the image so we can look it up

 

[Hiche..]

Yes, I need at least 15 posts to post the image
and apparently I need the 15 posts to post the URL, too.

 

[Hiche..]

Sorry for the double post
but here' the link.

I placed it oi the notepad file since I don't have 15 posts yet.
Thanks, and please rate.

you could have just edited your post (for not double posting) or wrote down the url with spaces in it^^

ive checked the image now and got some suggestions/criticism for you:
all in all i think its a we ll done map (except for heave tile errors at the to pleft where the trees meet the mountain. maybe you did that on purpouse to make it look liek thee trees were standing behind the mountain, but i dont think that looks natural...
i dont see any other tile errors...

the shape is nice, you have multiple levels, bridges, no extremely striaght paths or mountains
the houses also vary, what is good
i think the mountain at the bottom right doesnt look very good, the one taht sticks out a bit, cause all levels have the same shape
another thing you could have done is adding more stuff to it, its a big map, but theres not so much stuff to do
maybe you could have spread all the houses around the map and made the paths between them longer
becuase in some parts it looks a bit empty to me, like in the bottom left corner which is unused, while the top right and right side contain most of the city

rating: 7/10
