This is a survival map, revolving around looting from outposts and seeking protection inside city walls. It is not yet complete, because, instead of creating all the outposts by myself, I thought it would be more interesting to get the minecraft community (the best game community of any videogame =P) and let them help by creating their own outposts.
- I'll admit, this community collaboration was inspired by my discovery of rsmalec's map, 'The Toybox.'
Pictures of the current progress of the map
The town
Your starting hut
The main terrain of the map
Veiw from on the ground
Looking up from below (because it looks cool)
Outposts
Regulations-
Must not go below the bottom layer of ice. If more room is needed build upwards.
No external lighting that is within 10 blocks of the ground, it will melt surrounding ice pillars.
Include many spawners and make it difficult for the player.
No command blocks.
It will be in survival mode, so don't make puzzles, the player can just dig straight through.
Do not use lava, do not give lava as loot. That will allow cobblestone generators.
Feel free to use humour - everyone loves humour
Give your outpost a name when you submit it
Leave loot in chests - no ender chests
Useful loot for the player includes -
Enchanted weapons and tools (Don't make them OP)
Dirt (No more than 3 blocks per outpost)
Single armour pieces (no diamond)
Crops (seeds, melons, pumpkins, reeds (sugar cane), cacti, etc)
Clay (up to 20 blocks)
Food (No golden apples, no more than 2 pieces of food)
Avoid putting diamonds throughout the map
If unsure about other materials, just ask!
To Enter -
1. Download the outpost template here.
2. Build your outpost. Do not go outside the border of the current blocks. It is only a small building area, 20 by 20 blocks so you'll have to make use of it well.
3. Fill out the description and post when submitting the file
Name to be credited:
Name of outpost:
4. Upload your minecraft save file (the whole folder) to a file sharing website, such as mediafire.
5. Give a link to the download either in a comment to this post or through a PM (personal message)
Small Cities
After working on the basic part of the map for a while, I thought it would be cool to include a few small cities, as well. I have built the first one, Warmthale, and incorporated it into the main story. I am still in need of two more small cities, so feel free to make them, however, only one entry each can be accepted, so it has to be good!
Small city #1 - Dark Kingdom
A castle-like village.
This will have, like most of the map, an ice theme (so use ice and snow), however, there will be lots of dark objects in it too. (Netheraak, nether bricks, nether brick fences, obsidian, cauldrons)
Avoid lighting netheraak on fire, because it will melt the surrounding ice. Also be wary, other light sources that are exposed to ice will cause it to melt, too.
No story is needed included, I will incorporate it into the main story.
Also, use monster spawners to make it hard! But remember, only dark creatures (endermen, spiders, wither skeletons).
Please no command blocks.
Small city #2 - Scarglemain
This will have an ice theme intertwined with a sort of militaristic village, so stone bricks, wooden planks, and villagers included. Feel free to include your own mini storyline within the village.
It MUST include a town hall with a spot for a large message board inside. Do not use the message board, that is needed in the main story.
Also, avoid external lighting, that will melt the surrounding ice.
Please no command blocks.

Remember, I will check all submitted maps, and if there's something wrong, I'll fix it. I will most likely use all of the submitted outposts. So don't fret!
In total I'm hoping to get around 25-30 outposts before initial release.
Any Questions, PLEASE ASK! I porabably missed heaps of important pieces of information, so if you ask, it will make it easier for everyone. Thanks all!
There have been multiple downloads, meaning multiple entrants.... I'm so excited to see what people come up with
Also, about the map progress:
Story I am able to do is completely finished.
I have 'prettified' the edges of the map, changing it from straight, ugly edges to more smooth, curved (as curved as you can get with blocks ) edges.
People can get INSANELY creative with 20x20; I played this map that has over like 80 areas that were limited to that size and people came up with some awesome things that you'd swear were bigger than 20x20, yet they were literally that size.
I'm not too creative else I'd take my hand at this, but I do hope to see others come into and help with this. It MAY be in the wrong section; if it is, I'll move it for you. It will still be in the mapping area, but I'm thinking more in the map discussion area. That could generate you more input and helpers.

Thanks for the positivity, also.
I've been waiting all day and now I finally get to bump this! 24 hours is a looooooooooooooong time when you're bored. I guess I did sleep half of it...
And to make this post not so incredibly useless, I'll also add that I've now finished making the outside look smooth and awesome to about 30% completion. I won't lie, I could have been finished by now, but really, it's not that extraordinarily entertaining. What is entertaining is what you get out of it after you complete it.
I've always wanted to make my own adventure map, but have never had the patience or the attention span to get one finished. I think this might give me a good start. I'm thinking big, but don't expect too much
Seriously, I think I'll close this... There's been no entrants at all and it's been two two weeks since the first post. Five more days and this will be closed.

That's nice to see. I'm sure you'll OWN it! (Ok, that was a bad pun...)

Oh, and thanks for moving the thread!
Good to see! I'm excited to see what people come up with.
And to make this post not so incredibly useless, I'll also add that I've now finished making the outside look smooth and awesome to about 30% completion. I won't lie, I could have been finished by now, but really, it's not that extraordinarily entertaining. What is entertaining is what you get out of it after you complete it.
Also, 12 outpost templates, 5 village, so if you are creating a village, there will be competition... so make it good!
We have just been working on another project recently.
I've always wanted to make my own adventure map, but have never had the patience or the attention span to get one finished. I think this might give me a good start. I'm thinking big, but don't expect too much

You don't really have to beat the deadline...
I PMed them to the OP.
