A CTW map built by EDJM9 and myself. This is my first time releasing a map here, so I'm not sure how the process works too well.
Recommended Team Size: 8v8
Team Colors: Yellow & Purple
This map is Christmas themed and ready for the festive holiday!
The download to this map is located here

Aesthetically, it looks pretty nice. However, a few things are bothering me.The map looks extremely cramped. It’s cool that you added some verticality and structure to the lanes (not a lot of people do that) but there’s almost too much. Couple that with your 9-block lane size and your map suddenly becomes engulfed in block spam a couple minutes in.
We’re not trying to recreate deepwind jungle here, so in the future try to make the lane size bigger.
Not a fan of the wool lane chokepoint thats immediately out of spawn. Players should not be able to cut off the enemy that fast considering they only have a single 9 block lane as their only option to the wool room.
One more thing: what kind of map are you intending this to be? As far as I’m aware, we’re not going to bring 8v8 to competitive or public any time soon, so I’m interested to hear the reasoning behind the choice of team sizes.

EDJM9: Hey, thanks for the feedback. We can easily make the team size smaller if you need to. When looking at the 5v5 maps, it says you are able to scrimmage with a party of 3-7 people.
Vice: As well as this, I understand your concerns, especially for the wool that's under spawn. I was thinking personally it was a bit overpowered to have the wool room right there, but it ended up being a designer's choice. I'd be satisfied with having the lane similar to the other one, and possibly doubling the lane sizes. If the vertical mechanics are too dynamic, I'm willing to change that as well.

Hey, just checking in. When do you think we can get a response on this?Are we able to get more feedback?

looks good for looks but I’m not a genius on ctw maps. Does this map have 1 wool or 2?Last edited on 21 December 2017 - 09:07 PM by ViceWatercolour
