    it's OK, your designs are overall beautiful and im pointing at just one little aspect. Hope you make a map which satisfies you :D

    My eyes can't get past the asymmetry of that map (which actually isn't as asymmetric as it seems). So I thought I'd draw up a little pyramid myself, and you can expand it as you wish. Only it didn't end up all that little...

    Personally, I still think the one shown in post number 6 of this thread is the best. I think the shape and shadows give it a nice illusion of height. It's a shame that there aren't any water tiles that give the impression of downwards flow but my brain happily filled in those details after a little while of looking at it. I think it does a very good job of imitating the pyramids this image, particularly the smaller ones just below and to the left of the big one:
    I would be perfectly happy playing a game on that map. My response would be, "Hey, that pyramid is really cool."

    Now I'm feeling torn. What's funny, is after finishing it last night, I kinda fell in love with that last one I made in post 18. With all the jagged edges, my first reaction was "ewww!"
    Then I started remembering buildings from cheesy movie fight scenes like this one.

    ... and I was like, yeah, it doesn't need to be terribly smooth looking. sometimes a really jagged building just looks more exotic.

    I have to be honest, I prefer your earlier version to to anything else posted in this thread. But remember, you're the creator!

    Well, it's your map - you should definitely choose whichever one you like best! I'm just saying my own preference is for your earlier designs, but I'm sure it'll end up looking great whatever. As for the large size of the map, it would be a shame to have so much of it just be background. Have you considered doing more than one battle, each set in a different area of the map?
