its not my place to "fix" anyone elses map. before I built my own i would say sure I want to make every map the way I want it. but after seeing how much work it is and how each mapmaker takes so much effort to create their own arena... I would not work on anyone elses arena unless they personally asked me to.
no one wants complaints or people to not have fun when they make a terrain. everyone follows their own design. I ignored quite a few helpful suggestions when I made my map because I made it the way I wanted it I'm sure others did the same.
but heres the thing that is indesputable. I would not have made my map the way I did if the other terrain makers didnt make their maps the way they did.
I stood on their shoulders and learned what I wanted from all the previous maps that have ever been in AH. I knew what I wanted and what I didnt want. you will see a lot of pieces of my map are from things I liked in older maps and things I didnt like in 512 maps have been left out completely and I made a map that most people enjoy and find very entertaining (except beetle and a few others)
again I must make it clear that building these main arenas is a learning process. this is the first one ive ever made and the next one will be built upon what I have learned making this one.
I know other terrain makers will be influenced one way or the other by this map just as I was influenced by theirs.
