What do you guys think makes a good map
Im starting a survey/vote. What do you guys think makes a good map. If you thing it depends on the type of map (RPG, Arena, eg), state the type and what you think makes it good, or how it can improve. ie:
-RPG-
I believe that a good rpg should have a save/load feature, lots of customisation (ie: choose your character by selecting your skill/class (warrior, archer, eg), then choosing its weopons, or by item selecting. (ie: Model: Warrior (footman) > Skill: Barbarian (large axe), or, Model: Archer (Archer) > Longrange (longbow).))
Now I want you to tell me what you think. Reply to this link.

No bugs, flawless gameplay (and for rpgs a good story) and the "i-want-to-play-that-24/7"-effect

I've always just liked the simple games, so I just want a lot of perfectly balanced game play that is extremely competitive, so that people will play it again. It also needs teamwork. Some examples are Footmen Frenzy (Sort of), and Enfos.
Those games are my opinion don't start getting mad. Also, you may want to move this to the Idea Factory.

no matter which way you slice and dice it, the map has to be fun. If it does not initially engage the player with an element of fun it is toast

It's pretty important if it's a big rpg project, that it's being done :O

These are all good ideas. I will keep this thread going incase people need ideas on how to make their maps better, so that more people will play it, and play it again. I will try to incorporate some of these ideas in my map/s.

There are already "thousands" of threads about "what is a good map".
For me a good map is..
-No leaks or any other lag, so the gameplay keeps fine.
-It looks good, so it isn't made in few hours.
-Balance.
-Secrets. :o

-Easy to learn
-Difficult to master
-Great Multiplayer (I don't like single player games at all)
-Encourage players to be aggressive
-Active play with few pauses in action
-Cool spells/abilities that can be used in many different ways
-Meathook =D I swear this is the best ability ever thought up!

Not easy to get tired of
Good tooltips
Cool Spells
