At the end of the little cliff that enters the map you can surf there and get passed the blocking stones.
Not sure if you intended to do that or not.

Comments: I made this while PC was moving servers. I'm not all that great at making towns/cities but I figured I give it a try. Not much else to say ... the mansion tiles were ripped from Emerald's Battle Frontier.

Another map that I find quite impressive. Although I don't like the arrangement of houses and trees, and the fact that somehow you made the map look circular towards the bottom, and square on the top, I'm gonna give you a solid 9/10


@ Mr. Fury, no i did not intend that, I'll be sure to fix that >.< *inserts bush*
 
OMG!!!
It's teh map of awesomenezz!
XD
Seriously, that's a wonderful map. :)
I completely love the shape, it's perfect, and I see no tile errors.
I LOVE that temple tower you used. ;)
10/10
Can't wait to see another awesome map by you! :D
 
I have finally completed the map with the help of wind~
:)
Without further ado (or w/e the rich ppl say XD)

another gorgeous map(sorry, but i can't rate your other one yet).
The mountain placement, trail, and tree placement is very good.
however, i don't like the small mountain in the top left, it just seems uneedded and like it only put there to make exiting a few steps longer.
i also think you have over vegetated it and put too little flowers in it.
the blue roofed house just seems strange, and the house with the brown door seems strange also.
Lastly, the mansion seems more like a lake resort considering what is behind it.
I'll give it an 8/10.
suggestions: I've posted what was wrong, so i think you can figure it out. But just remove about 3-4 big trees and 2-4 small trees.
now, i was wondering if you have read neti's mapping tutorial or if you made it all by yourself. and now, seeing this map, i think you are near neti's level of mapping.
i hope to see more maps from you colco_styles, because they just look so simplistically complex.
 
Anyway, I'll give it a 9/10
I love the map in itself, just there are small parts that irk me.
There are too many trees... So much tree colour and so much rock colour don't really mix.
Some of the small rocky parts kinda irk me... Other than that, it's awesome!

A town in the mountains by me...
*image removed*
Do you guys think I should make it like that, in a crater? Or should I change it?

Why can't you rate the other one?

Yeah now that I think about it, it does look kind of odd. But if I didn't have it there, I would probably have ended up putting in (even) more trees
now, i was wondering if you have read neti's mapping tutorial or if you made it all by yourself.

Well I did read his Mapping Tutorial and it definitely helped but I think I have developed a style different from what he teaches in the tutorial.
and now, seeing this map, i think you are near neti's level of mapping.

Wow, that really means a lot, thanks. But it's hard to call someone better than the other because different mappers have different styles (mine consists of heavy vegetation, as you have noted, while Neti's could be completely different).

edit: @dark lakitu
I appreciate the compliment but, as I said above, you can't really call a mapper better than another due to differing styles. Mapping is a form of art and is therefore open for interpretation; there is no perfect map (or mapper).

Here are three Blizzard mades, re-made. ;)

P.S. In Kira Town, the reason why there isn't another exit there is because you get warped to the forest after completing a certain event. ;)
 
The first one is really good. Nothing wrong with it as far as i can see.
The second one is pretty good, it seems a bit cramped but i think its fine.
The thrid one is really good, its just i dont like the random grass tiles. Even tho you cant get to them, they just seem out of place.

Anyways I re-did the starting area, and I believe its rather tile free. But the corners of the water are messed up. I couldnt find the correct tiles so i had to wing it and try to make some.

Spoiler:
 
The house at the top right has a tile error, and the trees at the bottom need the two other tree tiles that connect to it, so it looks like they go on and on. ;)
7.9/10

Yeah I realized the house was wrong when i looked at the picture and when i tried to open the map to fix it. My old crappy map opened and evidently saying yes to saving means saying no. :/
 
you shouldnt copy the text from imageshack into the img alert^^
you entered two images urls and brackets in the files where you are supposed to enter one image url
i know that from the text i received via email

Reason: The blue pallete doesn't look at all good. The mountain tiles are not well placed (I mean in the proper manner). The path doesn't look good. There is a dark pallete under the small trees. And the map is too empty.
Suggestions: Change the pallete. Try not to keep the places empty. Try to add more greenery and try to make it better ;)
