Gamemode & Map Description

This is a DTC+DTM tnt map with a layout inspired by Fractal Descent, however, it's been rotate 45 degrees to create a diagonal map. The map has been designed to favor diagonal cannons, while still allowing straight cannons to remain viable. Furthermore, I've attempted to buff cannons by limiting arrows (since both cannons and bows are ranged weapons), rigging the diamond blocks with tnt and preventing players from placing tnt on the enemy's side. I also hope the map won't get rushed too easily due to this together with the diagonal layout, however to make attacking more fun/easier, the core has been made fairly big and being able to build underneath the bedrock floor is intentional. At last, the map has been a bit more accessible for new players by making the layout clean and simple and by providing a spawn kit that makes cannoning easier.

The design/aesthetic of this map feels fairly derivative. We're also concerned about the map quickly becoming an unnavigable mess pretty quickly.

Yeah I felt a bit uninspired when trying to come up with an aesthetic, as I wanted to limit the block palette in order to keep things simple. Could you provide more details?

I don't see how this should be more unnavigable than any other tnt map. Tnt should clear things up and the map is "shallow" enough that it isn't too likely that big holes will show up. I guess I could lower the amount of building blocks you spawn with to only one stack of wood, do you think that should do the trick?

And as usual, there are elements that might need some tweaking but is simply too hard to speculate about before playtesting, such as player size which might need to be lowered a bit.
