Hello,

We decided to make a new eggwars map for you! Because of the small amount of maps for bigger teams, we have made a 6v6v6v6 map.

Map name: Prison
Map made by: @bys1, @HamsterKazam, thorrie, DylanV255 (in-game names are the same)
Teams: Dark Blue, Red, Dark Green, Yellow
Team size: 6 players

The map consists of 4 player islands, 4 small/half middle islands and a big middle island. The islands have the following generators:

Player islands:
4x Iron: 1x level 2, 1x level 1, 2x broken
1x Gold: Broken
1x Diamond: Broken

Half mid:
1x Gold: Level 2

Mid:
2x Iron: Level 4
2x Gold: Level 3
2x Diamond: 1x level 3, 1x level 2

Screenshots below in the spoiler.
If you decide to vote "no", please explain your vote!

We really hope you guys like the map. If you have any feedback or ideas on what to change, let us know!

I do like the idea of this map, Although in my opinion The "middle" islands shouldn't be there. it should be like a straight shot to mid in my opinion just like the Aztec map. so far that's the only issue i see with this map. I would have a better idea if I was able to play the map. So I will give this a YES.

We decided to give it a small middle island to not have the exact same layout as other maps like aztec, adding a small extra challenge with the gold gen being broken on the main island. But this can of course all be changed.

I understand that it could be changed completely, This was just my opinion. I never liked the maps the with small islands like the 10v10 maps or the space map

I decided to vote no for now, mainly because the map is just very messy. Its pretty obvious you just did //replace on the entire map. But also, it is very grey and dull, The only color is in the floor and the tiny flag on top. These are the reasons I voted no.

The map is way too big for a 4v4 map. The buildings don't have much detail or are repeating the same details all the time. Especially the submid building has no detail. The shape of it is a square and I think it looks boring. The buildings on the spawn islands are wayyyy too big. The colors you have used on the ground are very boring looking and don't fit in. The colors you used on the middle island bottom is only one color, you could have made it for example with stone(s) mixed. The islands have no grass and I believe that the blocks you used are either to make it look like dirt or some kind of stone. The colors on the buildings look a bit boring (i don't know which colors would be better tbh) but especially the mossy stonebricks don't really fit with the other blocks

that's why I voted no.

It's a 6v6v6v6, not a 4v4v4v4, sorry idk if this has been mentioned before!

Sorry for the sarcasm there lol. Anyway, let me give some feedback from the perspective of a regular player (I'm not a builder!)

The terrain variation hurts to look at, there's a lot of blocks combined both for the surface as for the buildings. I'm going to assume this was all done using worldedit, it shows. I'd like to point out I think the general concept of this map is fun, but the execution could have been better.

The middle has a lot of cobwebs, which you should really try to avoid if you're building a map like this :P


I think you could try to take some inspiration from the Team SkyWars map Prison, while not copying it! Still try to give it your own twist! ;)

We found it quite hard to pick good-looking blocks especially for the surface. Using stone-like blocks for the surface wouldn't make it better. Would you prefer just using grass for that instead?

oh I'm blind sorry, but still didn't change my opinion. too big.
Aztec is way bigger than this...

I really like the idea of a prison map, it could be so fun.

But I think this map need some improvement. You could use other colours then grey for the buildings and brown for the ground, now it looks a bit boring. Also in mid you made a huge building, you can add details around it, for example barriers and trees. The building are only square, making it different shapes’ll make it more interesting.

That’s why I voted no

This map has potential, although it's far from being an accepted map I think with the right feedback you take from everyone's comments and doing a rework could make this 100% better. I don't have anything, in particular, to add as most people have covered it but if you'd like help feel free to message me and I'll help you out! :D

Hey, after a few looks I have noticed some things you may need to take into consideration.

- The ground / coloring
I will asume, based on what I can see, you have used a WorldEdit command to create the Granite / Brick islands. The blocks you decided to use, their colors and the way they blend with each other is fine, though the way you added them is not so great. When I take a look at those island I imagine you simply ran the command //replace [block] 33%Granite,33%Polished_Granite,34%Brick and let WorldEdit decide the outcome. At the build team you may notice you never see us color any kind of island / ground this way, unstead we use the GoPaint tool. If you do not have acces to GoPaint, an alternative is the WorldEdit sphere brush.
To give a better visual representation of what I ment, have a look at these 2 images. This is a PVP map submission from ItzEnd3r and he executed my feedback flawlessly. Already looks much better, doesn't it!

- The prison walls
Your buildings face the same main problem like with the ground, it just looks so messy. From my eyes it seems like again you used the //replace command to make WorldEdit decide at random if a block should be Andesite, Stone, Brick, Moss Brick, etc. I cannot exactly say what kind of stone-material would be best to use, but I recommend making the building out of either Stone Bricks or regular Stone and not spam them everywhere. Though you should experiment a little trying to see what block(s) work best for the building.
- Prison yard
It's also good to point out things you have done well, which is choosing different materials for the prison yard, instead of Granite. Sand works well considering the blocks you used for the islands. Only tip I can give is the same as with the previous advice, it looks a bit messy as if it was just the //replace command.

- The islands look so... blank
There's nothing! Aside from the prison complexes the islands are just empty! What I would recommend is adding small, not too major, scenery. For example you could add small bits of fencing around the edge of the island to simulate a prison fence. You could add some regular rocks made out of stone to give the map more colors, just make sure to make it look more interesting!


This is my feedback as far as it goes visually, I do not often build EggWars map (I hate the gamemode lol) so I cannot really say anything regarding the lay-out of the map or the amount of generators on this map and their positions.

Heya, after a good while years having not appreciated sleep a lot, have I learned things. I have most of the times seen it as a hindrance to things such as relations and projects. But after years I realised that you need to sleep to be well. Both physically and mentally. When I also realized that I could work better and more efficiently, did I try to get more sleep. That reminds me, I need to sleep now hah XD
