Spoiler

Notes: This project started as a hanging garden. But then I though it would be more realistic if i put it more like a city. So now it's a mix of both. There are houses, a dock, a lighthouse and even a small bazaar.

I would prefer if humans could not destroy blocks at all even in the build time, they can place blocks though. The map is quite big and allows a lot of running, I even put blocks in almost all the chests. Almost no dead end too which is, what I believe, recommended for a zombie map.

I might update it once the server is updated to 1.2.

What the hell? Why suggestion tag? I meant Submission. Someone can fix?

Reminds me of LCD...and that map we already have that I don't remember the name of.

Other than that, this looks reasonably fun to play on for both hiding and running (parkcore and such).
Also, what are you expecting to update on it when 1.2 is updated on the server?

Forgot they were added...

Anywho, I haven't been disappointed with anything you have built and this doesn't stop that streak
Good job. o/

Please everyone set a central sponge and tell us a radius. E.g. 70 for a 140x140 map, measured frim that central sponge.

Or even 2 sponge points if you want a box

Alright, I took some time to play around in the map. I really like how everything is structured. I love every thing about it. Items in chests should be tweaked just a bit-- more supplies, more spread-out/hidden. Other than that, I would like to see this in the rotation

more supplies

I read : Put diamond/iron armor and weapons so that newbies rage all the time in the map.

No really i think there's enough supplies. They shouldn't be that helpful anyway. Humans should run from a zombie invasion, they're scared of them, not attacking them all the time.

huh? No!

We can only calculte the border from a central single point.

If they want their map inside a bedrock box, they have to build that themselves.

Yet if the Humans get said armour and the Hunters cannot get anything (I.E armour/weapons back due to all the loot from chests being taken) then Humans would win, thus making it a pro-human map unless a Human, that was wearing Diamond armour gets chosen - I'd like to see a map that is some-what plain, with only kits to start with and no advantage with supplies and armour; and have an actual survival round instead of a 'You need all of the Hunters to attack me or I'll live' round.

Sooo... do you want me to send a new file with a central sponge this time? I want a square boundary.

I quite enjoy this map. Running through this map, I feel a sense of close quarters combat, and in others there's a good balance of openness and just running for your life. Chest contents are fine by me, nothing overly powerful, just a few useful items here and there. Map aesthetics is quite nice, I do like desert villages. All in all, I think I will just say...
