    I'm planning on making a map, and all I have so far is a rough sketch, which I will be adding to. It will have a style similar to ECA probably, but hopefully more off-road locations. What I want now are suggestions for whatever you want me to add! (I have some map-making skills, so I somewhat know what I'm doing)
    Progress
    You might need to zoom in/out here :p
    Initial Sketch:
    Update:

    I'm now going to actually work on the map on my computer. The sketch won't be updated anymore.

    Add a Ice Skating area. I have not seen a map with that yet!

    I would like to, but the issue is: it's not a winter map. If you have a justification for why ice would be there, please tell me! :D

    That is a really good idea! Added it to the paper.
    I will think about it (^ ͜ -)

    If you know how to make good roads, a proper, relatively fast paced racetrack (compared to the relatively slow hirochi raceway)

    Maybe hide some cool objects to the whole map and let us search for them ;)

    I'll add them, but on tracing paper, so when I take the picture, I can remove it, so no one will know where they are :D

    Possibly you could add the cave from gridmap or make your own?

    Also before i start brainstorming some names is it going to be an island or what? Valley, bay ?

    Caves are quite difficult, but maybe I'll make a small one.

    It will be like on the sketch, the edge of the paper markes the edge of the heightmap. There will be a small corner of the map where it goes out to sea/ocean/large lake. I guess that means that it will be section of forest.

    I really like Gravil Springs. Maybe add broken down cars on the side of the road.
    Also, make things 3D. (3D Trees, Plants, Buildings or whatever) Making the Props 3D really makes the map pop out.
    Good Luck! I like the progress you have made so far!
