Same but altogether counting the ones I lost I only had 124 ingots by the end of the map.

158 ingots a book and a cookie. That map was INCREDIBLY entertaining. I particularly enjoyed Iron City.

Thanks for playing! We are glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support

@blipken & ads123:
Extremely sorry for the inconvenience during the bank break, nothing we can do unless the whole city was higher up, which did not occur to us at the time. Hopefully Notch will fix this glitch in the future, hope you enjoyed the rest of the map.

This was the best custom map I've ever played. And let me tell you what, I have played a ton of them!

AMAZING job to everyone who was involved in this. There's just one bug I noticed though. It's not possible to get into the second level of the last house in the iron world thing. I know you're supposed to place lava where the arrow leads to in order to destroy the redstone torch behind the cobblestone wall which in return opens the door to the 2nd level of the building. However, lava only flows 4 blocks and the redstone torch is 5 blocks away. Thus it's not possible to get to the 2nd level without cheating. I gave myself a pick, destroyed 2 cobblestone blocks and the torch, then threw it away.

Other than that as I said, best map in existance right now.

My score: 169 gold ingots.

*applauses*

I really like this map, i havnt finished it yet because i got stuck at the lava house, guess i need to try the updated map.

Im also doing a let's play of it.

Part 1

BUG FIX: Updated to V1.0b

Fixed the bug inside of the Lavaworks which prevents the redstone torch being destroyed by the lava ( First room ). See starting post for updated downloaded link.

Thanks for reporting these bugs in the map, if you find one, please let us know and the map will be updated asap.

Very enjoyable. I loved this map, the puzzles were fun, and the story line was great! Thanks for the fun!

[watermelon99]

Awesome story!
Going to play first and do a let's play after wards!

I did this map as my first ever uploads/videos/series on YouTube, and I gotta say, it was a lot of fun to do and i"m glad I chose this for my first videos. Let me know if you make another map like this

[tomdm134]

Thanks for playing! If you link your videos in a new post I will add them to the starting post.

[samschoo]

Hi man. your custom map is frigen AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! You can't get a custom map better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got ether 147 gold or 144. When I got to the end I said well I'm done and I deleted the custom map, so I'm not sure what it was? It was a very long custom map. I like long custom maps.

Really? Cool, here's a link to the first episode
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=-BUWoorW12E

All the episodes have links to the next/previous in the annotations so I think it's ok with just the first.

EDIT: Hm...ok I guess putting a link to a YouTube video instantly turns it into a video on the forums....Dunno how to work around that.

Thanks for this I have added it to the main post.

[Ad134]

Thanks guys for your amazing feedback. We are blown away by how well this map has been received. Our next map, whenever or whatever it is, will be a big challenge, because our priority will be to make it better than Paradox. With all of the positive feedback we have been getting, we're not sure how hard that will be to do, or even if we have the capacity, but we'll try!

This is definitely one of the best Minecraft maps out there. It's a shame that there aren't more maps with this much effort and creativity put into them! It took me a little more than 2 hours to complete and I got 163 gold ingots. Thanks for making such a great map, it was amazing.

This is a very great map, I enjoyed it alot.
story, design and scenery was amazing and very motivative. But the puzzles where way too obvious and easy, in my opinion. But as mentioned above the story and design kept me playing without getting bored.
Only other thing: the "blue" signs like, ruined the feeling in the first two ages. It didn't matter in the iron age because they were written like Information from the inhabitants. Just a detail, but still...
But overall one of the best maps out there, you clearly put a lot of effort into it.
Diamonds to you

Oh i think I got like 159 gold ingots, maybe a few more. (my Minecraft crashed while entering the Nether and somehow managed to reset the whole map o.O, I MC-edited me to the Nether after that) How many are there in total?

[Alryn1]

Best map I've played so far, I loved it so much I plan to re-do it again, I can see you've put a lot of time and effort into it. It took me about 3 hours (like to take my time) and I got over 150 gold, I died when I fell down the hole at the end (I think the pool at the bottom should be bigger than 1X1, but it didn't spoil my fun).
Only 1 complaint, when ever you had to ride a minecart there is only a 1x1 hole for you and the minecart. On one occasion this caused minecraft to crash, otherwise I just lost my head lol.
Hope you plan to make more maps, I will look forward to playing them.

@Mysticalace8:
Thanks for the amazing comments Hopefully future maps we create will fulfil these expectations!

@yiker:
Thanks for playing and commenting on things we should improve on. This is our first proper map and all feedback is wanted, we will keep this in mind when creating our new map not to make things as obvious, glad you enjoyed it

@Alryn1:
Very happy you enjoyed our map! In future updates we plan to expand the 1x1 water holes at certain points to ensure this will not happen again (will work on this tomorrow). About the 1 height minecart holes, we have done this as knowing the map will be played on peaceful, no damage will be taken and ensuring players cannot skip minecart sections by walking straight past and making sure they cannot go back, (back from the Iron age for example). Hope this has cleared things up.
