Why do I like your mapping a lot more than most?
Because it's not crowded and narrow.
So many people I see mapping now just focus on making it look nice with a ton of details and stuff that just block your way. But what I believe in is simplicity and playability. It's annoying to see bridges/roads/caves/buildings that are like only squares in width. It really sucks. Sure it looks amazing, but not for playing.
But you, I love your work so far! Keep it up!

Your opinion is good, but this bold text...
People that map with much details and stuff maps in a artistic way. (Mapping is an art)
There is 2 ways of mapping, often called "Showoff and RPG-Style"
The mappers that makes showoff often just map because they enjoy mapping and create art. (Me as an example)
The other "RPG" mappers, often use their mapping for projects, that's when we get to "less details".
The mappers that maps for a project often maps with less details because lazyness. I mean, not lazyness, but it takes really much time to make a whole map in just "Showoff" mapping.
But onTopic;
I like the mapping, though I think you should put abit more effort into the details.

You should put more effort on the details just as Neon said, other than that I like it

Yeah, I understand that, I should have typed that in because I did have that in mind. I know it's just for show off =P
And actually, I'm not going to say you're wrong in saying that showoff takes more time than rpg maps, because showoff is usually just put into a small mapping piece, whereas rpg mapping is worked on on a bigger scale (a bigger map). So what work goes into detail for the 'art' mapping, that work goes into producing more areas or bigger caves, dungeons, etc. In a nutshell, 'art' is small, 'rpg' is big. I hope you get what I mean.
I try to combine RPG with details.. How dare you call me lazy!!!!

I never called you lazy In case you noticed, your details aren't quite as 'plentiful' as showoff mapping, amaright?
