why don't you make a overview of everything?.. its easier to evaliuate.

I dont like it it needs more shading and variety

i did make an overview of everything...

Shade the columns of the structures to give them some depth. Kinda helps to shade if you use more than one color on the sand. Also, water is never that blue..experiment with different colors to give it some variety. Finally, the map is much, much too flat and boring..are you planning on adding anything else?

yeah sure, if i'm not too busy i think i'll add more now...

Good idea..but its way too easy! no scenery,shading and its really small..i could make that in 1 minute :O

i did make it in 1 minute :P seeing that it was just an idea, i made a quick map and put it in the froums for people to expand on it....i will work on it seing as people say its a good idea...

P.S. i added a bit more so here are the pics and dl

any color with a 4:5:6 r:g:b ratio is good.

examples:
128,160,192
64,80,96

and, even though it's against my nature to use color values not divisible by 8, (168,210,252) is another good example because it follows the ratio.

EDITED

is it just me or did that make no sense to anyone.......... *pussled look*

Make a triangle with different colors on each corner. You keep making these maps that are just continuous, blocky colors with no distinction. Put some contrast in there, learn to actually use the map maker and all the options within for color and the blending of those colors. Polyworks has excellent tools for coloring your polys very easily..

Edit: Those numbers apply to different R:G:B values for the map maker pallet.

good map...make some sceney(cant spell) and that map would be cool
