Atleast he is trying his best so that's worth something! Whether or not its decent, he will learn from it. Just from day1 when he started mapping no one helped him, so how will he get better? Okay, i did with little help from the community, but the rest of the nasties said "makes my eyes hurt" :'<
Seriously, i was mapping with autoborder for like 8 months before i could be arsed to work entirely with raw. And from day 1 of using just raw, i got better. It allowed me to be creative.
Though that is a problem with some people. They all want to map but if you have no creativity, you just can't. When you map you need to see it as you are "crafting a world" visualise what it should look like and make those links to what options you have to use. i.e. themes etc.
This is what you need to learn gamersdont. Learn how to make those links for what works with what. It's alot to learn at first, but understanding the basics of how you map, will let you map your mind :>
lololol cliche'd? ;> can imagine some guy on a hill with people behind and his arm stretching round a landscape giving this speech :3
