Tips to making a great map (without pictures)

I noticed that alot of worlds are getting really similar so I decided to create some ideas that other people could use so the worlds don't seem the same

General Ideas:
Do Not
-Use boring zombie maps
-Adventures in the forest
-Those "hotel and buy pets" maps
Do
-Make zombie worlds in space or underground
-Make adventures someplace else like in an underworld
-You could use hotel worlds (like I'm doing) but don't use the rooms for people, try using them for minis!

Where they take place:
-Space
-Underground
-Inside a building/house

Art
Do Not
-Use smilies
-Use rectangular buildings
Do
-Make curved or random-shaped buildings
-Use decorations to make them more realistic

Adventure Worlds
Do Not
-Use outside worlds with trees and hills and stuff like that
Do
-Try doing them indoors, a lot of worlds are outdoors
-Make them realistic
-Don't use portals
-Use backgrounds as wallpaper for the walls (and try to use a patten)
-A very unique world that is realistic is The Square by toop

Who should help
Do not
-Use random people that you "recruit"
-People who ask you if you could help, who knows if they're a troller, or even a hacker
-Level 1 people, check their profiles
Do
-Use friends/people you could trust
-Make sure they have a bunch of blocks
-Look at the profile, and check their worlds to see how good they are. Use them to your advantage on how you will build your world

Adventure World

Zombies don't exist (in real life) so they could take place anywhere.

Re: Tips to making a great map (without pictures)

Most buildings are rectangular, irl.   What you need to do is put stuff on top, like an antennae, or something.   Also, give the buildings some texture.   Then, you can get away with rectangular buildings, but make them all different sizes, and shapes.   A bunch of buildings that are the same size isn't fun, but a three rectangular buildings, two of them tall, one of them long, and then a dome building, that's more appealing to the eye.

EE is a game of freedom (sort of...) where you could build whatever you like, I'm just saying that rectangular buildings are getting boring so we should make other shaped buildings.

Moved...?
What was it previously in?

Also, what's wrong with the good old-fashioned forest adventure?

It's almost as overused as box minis.

... You know what, I just had the best idea. How about where zombie is on, there are NO safe zones, it's in a forest, and the forest has box minis IN it! There's a key race in the middle, and if you make it to the very end you get to buy a hotel and pet!

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... hey, do you think I could submit that for the Ultimate Builder's Contest? I can make it an arcade game!
