Oh wow, that's EXCELLENT for a first map! You placed the scenery perfectly and the colors blend beautifully, IMHO. Looks fun to play. Please don't stop with this one, make more maps! :)

Rather a bold attempt for a first map, and a good one at that. I can tell that you have been playing Soldat for a little while now (correct me if I am wrong). Nice work.

When you place polygons behind scenery, make a habit to also use transparency for the polygons since you can see the polygon edges poking out from behind the scenery. Rather a large filesize, but honestly, I have made maps with bigger filesizes, so that's nothing for anyone to fret about...

Very nice. I humbly suggest that you come up with a title worthy of this map as the current title lacks lustre.

Coloring looks good. I couldn't have made this map better myself. Not too lengthy and complicated.

Wow, great map, especially for a first. The gameply looks nice and simple (but fun), and the map itself looks great. Keep up the great work, you have huge potential.

I have added this map at my RSA server. Nice to see something is "moving" at RS mapping :)

Probably, not, because nobody don't like my map on server.

Nice work! it's often hard to make the vertex colores good, but you did a great job at that.

Really good as your first map! But it seems you made it kinda off-scale. Everything seems to be big compared to the player, you can see it inside the house, where roof is too high.

Doesn't mean that you have to stop mapping. Always I use myself as an example: I've mapped several maps that  weren't that good and had poor playability, and I've mapped a few that are pretty decent. Don't let you first map get you down just because the playability was a little poor. Either work on improving this map, or start working on a new one.

If I may be so bold: You've already surpassed a few people in mapping ability with just this one map (I refer to mappers not so renowned). This map is probably better than some of my recent maps, because I make the mistake of not taking game-playability seriously, or don't plan enough.

So, my final words are: if you enjoy mapping to any extent, work on it some more. You'll find that over time, you'll improve. It's like running 1 mile for time. When you are a dedicated runner and practice efficiently, you will improve your mile time etc. You get my point...

Good luck with whatever you wish to do.
