Monday, June 04 2012 - If you want your map reviewed, please send me a PM via Minecraft Forums or Zacherama on reddit.
Introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Kyle AKA Pippiter or Zacherama and welcome to my CTM map reviews. A little background, I started playing CTM maps about when Vechs released his seventh Super Hostile map, Legendary. I loved it and it took me forever to complete. I've played all his CTM maps and several others since (such as Thadiwyn's Tenebrous Tales and Xerothomas' Corrupt Lands). I feel that I could very accurately and thoroughly review CTM maps on a scale that people can relate to and understand. I (obviously) will have to base my ratings off something, so I'm going off Vechs' Legendary map as a 20. Please check out my reviews!
Grading Scale
0-2: A complete and utter disaster; terrible design and impossible to reach goals. Extreme difficulty, near impossibility.Can tell not much time went into it.
2-5: Not as bad as 0-2 but still not the greatest map on the planet. Has some high spots in design and challenge but most of the map is a lazily thrown together mess of blocks.
5-8: Map is still fairly bad and could use a lot of work. Slightly under average. Has several high spots in design and challenge and decently scaled difficulty.
9-11: About average for a map. A fair amount of time went into this map. Some impressive design spots and well thought out challenges. Could still use some work though.
11-14: This map is above average. It is worth playing. Quite a few high spots in design and challenges. Comparable to a few better CTM spinoffs (Cranica's Forgotten Lands series)
14-17: Map is definitely worth playing. Has a few spots here and there to touch up on. Comparable to some of the best CTM spinoffs (Thadiwyn's Tenebrous Tales, three_two's Vinyl Fantasy)
18-19: An amazing map that is definitely worth playing. Almost zero times where terrain design and challenges are boring. Comparable to several of Vechs' maps.
20:An all around EPIC map, comparable to or even better than Vechs' series. Beautiful and natural terrain design and no boring challenges.
Of course there will also be an in-depth review of the map as a whole attached to its number grading.
Want your map reviewed?
Shoot me a message on the Minecraft Forums or reddit with the name of your map and a link to the thread and anything else you would like to tell me.
It means "Complete The Monument" and involves exploring hostile landscapes to find blocks or materials (typically colored wool) and placing them in a trophy-like monument! The primary appeal of the genre in terms of gameplay is the introduction of a concrete goal into the endless sandbox that is Minecraft. It was originally created by Vechs' Super Hostile series and has since exploded into a genre of hundreds of maps!
