Unless this is a very brutal map that makes you farm zombies for food and skellies for arrows, it should be fine. And potion are for n00bs.
Not everyone is a "super elite CTM player" that never dies.. mistakes and unlucky events happen even in lower difficulty maps.
but unless it is a difficult map, I see absolutely no point in the addition of such a feature meant to add challenge.
Well, you should get a few viewers from your signature but also you could start posting more here and also putting updates on your thread. I generally just post screenshots and opinions here and you could also send your map to the CTM Community thread for it to be placed on the OP
This question to me feels the same like asking "what's your favorite food?" or "what's your favorite Pokemon?" I DON'T KNOW! I CAN'T CHOOSE!! I love all pokemon and I'll eat almost anything that taste good and call it my favorite. It's a tough choice.
nah. World Painter is for lazy people. #WorldEditTerraformingThatTakesAReallyLongTime
I just use a 5x5 sphere with stone 20x20 spheres, make a good shape, do //smooth and there. If the brushes still look too brushy, I use a 2x2 brush and erode a bit. But my real question is about the castle. The mountain is unfinished(I'll add lots of custom trees and such. This is an open-worldish map, so this is only part of it.)
The only reason I thought you had built it using world painter is I have seen things that people have made using world painter and that mountain looked like it was made using world painter. The castle in my opinion looks pretty good, although some of the castle walls are blank. Overall it looks like you are off to a great start!
Ok, so I am relatively new to map making, so I would like to ask:
1. What makes a map good in your opinion?
Creativity, mostly. Aesthetics and Gameplay are important, but I personally am happy with a few custom mobs/items and an area that isn't a cobblestone box.
2. What is the best way to balance the loot in a map?
Well, what I plan to do with my map is finish a few intersections and play it through myself. Or I could use my... connections and get a few testers to help me out.
3. How should I go about placing Spawners to balance the map?
I fly around in Normal difficulty and try and note the amount of mobs that spawn, and compare it to my intended difficulty of the area.
4. What are the best tools for Map Making?
McEdit and NBT Explorer. I'd use WorldEdit, but I'd rather not install an api just for the sake of having it, and I use many snapshot mechanics in what I'm working on right now.
5. How should I advertise my map?
Telemarketing. Hahaha, no.
Thanks.
These are just my opinions. You'd be better off talking to someone who's made a complete map
OP custom mobs, wiggly lines in caves, and void areas
2. What is the best way to balance the loot in a map?
Place a bunch of empty chest around the map and just run the randomize loot tool (loot tool backwards is loot tool :D).
Don't forget to place diamond gears early in the map!
3. How should I go about placing Spawners to balance the map?
I honestly think this is one of the best builds I've ever made in my life. <3 I hope you guys agree. I really want feedback.
Wow that looks amazing! Although the blank wall does not look the best, especially since the whole outer part of the castle looks amazing then the inner bit is blank. Maybe you want to spiffy up the inner tower a bit. Great Job!
Edit: oopsy I did not read the part where you said you have not finished the inner walls. Never mind!

It's not done xD There are inner towers and the whole thing is going to be detailed as the outdoor walls are. Don't worry Making detail takes a hell of a long time.

No, I don't mean like turn it off in a random map... I mean, design a map around it, with the drops in mind. So you can count on the player having specific gear, and not getting tons of food right away so he can't regen all day long...

I like that then, it adds a different layer of challenge I can't say I'd be use to. It would make you want (have) to be more careful.. because if you lose the only food and arrows you have. Well.. sucks for you, unless you can find the next chest to have them anyway. I know some people aren't a fan but I actually enjoy maps that starve you of resources to some degree.
Looks good! Although I have to question the purpose of the box in the center...

I completely suck at ctm maps, although I am making an insanely difficult ctm map:)

4. What are the best tools for Map Making?
My favorites are VoxelEdit and WorldSniper.
5. How should I advertise my map?

Well, that's about it. Hope it helps!
Looks great! I can't wait to see how it looks once you've finished the inside area.

It's the tower. There are small inner towers and the whole thing is going to be detailed.
