Ok well since your picture isn't showing up I thought I'd be nice and let other people see it.

Alex, it is simple. You need to copy the Image Address, not the URL and put the Image Address between [IMG] [/IMG] codes.

I meant no offense, I just thought it was funny.

My initial thoughts:

Good start!

However, there are some brutal choke points in this map at each corner of the 'rectangle' at mid. These are a bomber's wet dream, but imo won't make for very fluid gameplay.

To fix this, I would recommend
-Make the very top and very bottom routes much wider (can a plane even fit now?)
AND either
-Make the left and right sides of the rectangle shorter OR
-Make a gap in the left and right sides of the rectangle

edit: also, the top of the rectangle should be flipped upside down so that balls can't get stuck in the 'V's

edit 2: also, if you go straight out of the middle of the goals, the second triangle you hit should be moved towards the middle of the map so that planes can comfortably fly through that area.

Hmm.. I don't know man. I love the thought that people are motivated / inspired to create maps, but map art is the most time consuming part. It's also however the most rewarding.

I don't think you can fully appreciate the effort people put in to these things until you try it yourself.

I'm not sure what theme I could provide given
triangles, but I'd suggest trying to complete your vision artist. You've got the idea and the vision, just do your best to try and capture it

You can distribute community points? I was not aware that this was possible. Do explain.

In other news: Alex, please chill out, seriously. Ajuk did you a favor by showing the map in the thread. Additionally, he was quoting and making fun of Radium, not you. Morever, all he said was "fail". Your response was the equivalent of throwing your child out of the car, on a highway, because he told you that you missed your exit. It seems like you are new here, and I encourage your involvement, but going off on every other person isn't going to make this a very positive experience for you.

And in regards to what TRUEPAiN said: It is indeed very hard to get someone to do art for you, especially when this map is still a rough idea from what I can see in the screenshots. You should generate some base art and do some play testing / adjusting before you ask someone to spend significant time on making art for it, you'll have much more luck.
