who though everyones maps deserved a 0 and his the best ever.

This level seems like a playable N-Art kinda map. Yes, there are a lot of mines, yes, there is a ton of gold, yes, it takes forever to load, and yes, I think this guy's map making technique needs some time to develop, but hey, the map looks awesome, and an AGD is pretty darn hard to get on this map, so keep working on item placement, and you'll be fine. Personally, I like this map, and although the gameplay is so-so, I do have the patience for load time, so it was about a 4/5 for the looks but a 3/5 for gameplay.

lol. I try and make good levels, but I work on them until I like them, and if other people do or don't, good or oh well. You don't need a guide to make levels that you enjoy, that's all I'm trying to say. Some of the featured maps on this site people rave about, and I can't see anything fantastic about them (some, not all, most are very good). It's not that I'm a noob and can't play them (I've completed n, don't know if that says much, but I'm a good player, maybe just not the best mapper), it's just that they're all the same. Everyone worries about aesthetics and it can't be too hard or it's not fun. I make ridiculously hard levels sometimes (http://www.nmaps.net/171332), because I want a challenge. What's the big deal with aesthetics? This isn't the louvre, it's a computer game. Anyway, rant over, I'm just trying to say to ZTHING that you don't need to be conditioned a certain way to make maps, do what you want. 29403, I appreciate your comment more, haha. And again, I gave this a four because I personally enjoyed it a lot.

Not n00b, but new to this place. Welcome, btw. :P Look through Radium's maps - you'll see what really deserves a 4.

As for MasterOfShadows, no offense, but if you think that deserves a 5... then... :/

You are a noob. You have no idea what you are talking about. He needs the guide.

5/5

But too much gold and spammed mines blow up my computer. 2.5/5 up.

This was a sweet level, looked cool and has a good challenge, especially if you want to get the gold. Only problem people would have is with loading time, but I'm patient. 4aved.
(I'm working on an AGD)
