It my first upload orld so have fun
Welcome to making and submitting maps! I hope you make many more.
Here are a few tips:
1. This map is much, much larger than it need to be. Most people don't like to play those type of maps.
2. Looking at submitted times, I can see that even you knew it was way too easy - again, most people like a bit of a challenge. I'm kind of curious on how much time can be shaved off my time - I bet about 2 minutes. :)
1.5 mins for me but EA/Alter could shave another 30 secs.
My advice would be to please make maps visualy appealing, add texture and terrain to make it look interesting, best of luck with your map making, hope you have fun with it!
I agree with Karsten & Dom - welcome to the world of map-making and I hope you'll take their advice into account for your future maps! Not everyone will love your maps, regardless what you do - but try different things and see what works best for you.
Keep it up! ;)
