[sub]Well, its been a little over two months since ive started making melee maps. Heres my progress so far.
First map, made it in about 20 minutes, I didnt have a clue what I was doing.
(2)Streams
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=13147
Second map, made a few days after my first. I really liked the map when I made it, seemed very well made to me, but I didnt know the first about making melee maps.
(4)Heart of the Desert
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=13788
This was my thrid work, I think this is the point where my maps accually started to become decent, and I began to learn about balancing for all races.
(2)Twilight Crab
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=14075
This map is still one of my favorite maps I ever made, I love how it looks.
(2)Divided Conflicts
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=14436
This is one of my best balanced maps I think, and my first try with 4 players after a lwhile of just making 1v1s. I like the turnout.
(4)Desert Hijinks
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=14991
This map seemed like a good idea, but after some feedback, it seemed it was unfixable without changing the map, heres the final result.
(2)Sidewinder
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=15045
This is another of my favorite maps, I like how it looks. I think its pretty balanced for the most part.
(2)Nomad
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=15049
And finally, the latest and greatest, I spent more time on this map then any other, I really like the turnout.
(2)Bull's Eye Squall
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=15058
And here is where you come in, im taking a week off to finish these maps up. To hopefully get them good enuogh for the DLDB. So please, any last fixes for these maps would be very grateful. Thanks again.

Wow, you really had a huge improvement in your mapmaking. Even the first one is better than that of the commom masses...to ending up looking pretty dang good

I have to agree, divided conflicts is quite good, simple, but you got the idea pretty quick on this map.
Definate improvement over time, keep it up and dont forget to check up on the original threads.

They are already plenty good to get into the DLDB (its really not hard at all to get them in) And you can continue to edit them from the dldb.

Not hard? Its almost impossible to not get it in.

That is why there is the "edit map" which allows you to update new versions of the map.

I think I remember some of your first maps, they werent too good, but your latest... They own 
I must say that I'm improving myself too, but not as fast as you, and I make too few maps

I dint mean that for comments from there. I meant you could put it there for current download and if you ever make it better you can upload a new version.
