This is the small map, I am working on making a bigger one at the moment.

Give me some suggestions on how to improve this map, and let me know if you think it will work in the future.

I think the problem here is that the gameplay is too flat. When you boil it down, it's just a simple grid map. If you wanted to do something with the concept of time, I think you could come up with something more creative that would also have the potential for a solid gameplay structure, like Jota's 'Time' map:

So what happens when the 1st is bombarded? The guy on 2nd wins because he can't be attacked?

Ok, I'm sorry to say this but I don't think this has any potential whatsoever. The theme is bland, the gameplay doesn't work... the whole idea is based on one novelty gimmick that is going to be fun for maybe 1 game.

I'd suggest you to figure out a better idea for a map. A map should have a theme that makes sense to the players, and a gameplay that is balanced and supports the theme.

I think there are some really cool map ideas out there waiting for people to pick them up...I suggest going to the Abandoned Forum and looking for an abandoned project if you are unsure what sort of idea to pursue! Perhaps you can build off another's work, and make something your own!

Well thank you guys for the suggestions, I'll start looking around for map ideas and hopefully come up with something better shortly

Edit - you can move this to wherever you think it should go
