Hah, what a strange theme for a map!

It has a nice layout, and average shading, but I feel it's too symmetrical and... "perfect," if ya get what I mean ;) (I.e., the terrain looks too smooth, etc.) Some of the passages look a tad cramped. Try more radical background colors.

Blue ants?! I've seen red and yellow ones, but that'd be the life of me... :P

Too perfect, ants are messy, mess it up a bit, but not in terms of misaligned triangles, make a few bumps and gaps and holes and closed off tunnels. Shading is real looking, even though I don't know how theres light at the way bottom of a ant tunnel.

Lol, pretty neat layout, and yet another strange theme for a Soldat map.

Good job.  I am hoping to see more.

omg no! you stole my idea! lol, I just thought of a bug level like this yesterday, where you have two separate ant colony things and like 2 tunnels as well as the surface passage to get to the other base. guess I need to be faster lol.

but back to the actual build of the map, I agree with vig completely. need like rocks, twigs, grass, ant food, ant eggs, etc. for you to climb on or run behind for cover. at least you know how to shade though, lol. thank God for that ;D

Nice!

But crap! I'm terrified of ants, especially under a magnification glass.

I'm agreeing with TrmD's post, more scenery please--- Like roots, maybe?

I think it needs more scenery...

May I suggest some?

Larvae below the flag spawns; some clods of dirt to act as colliders (like sanbags except they're, well, dirt); and a background for the colony.

crackadill, although this map didn't pass full on 100% you should this about making a N style map, everyone's been making weird Super Mario maps lately.
