Woah, I was giving suggestions for what he could make in his game not critiquing on that particular map alone
The critiquing was the short paragraph in the beginning. How I was saying he should add more details or even traps to take up some space etc...
The whole part of me talking about how I suggested him to add an exit, a prize or a boss was just that, a suggestion. But I did leave a 'unless...etc' to cover his excuse to leave it as plain as it was. I didn't judge my score on what I would want in the map but on what his expectations for that particular map was and what he left out. The small details are very significant no matter how small they are. Imagine a city with just buildings and they were all the same color and no details like trees or bushes, that would seem a bit odd would it not? That's kinda what I'm comparing it to because of the amount of details. But you misunderstood me, I like the map I was just giving suggestions on what he could add into it when he makes maps for his game as he mentioned he was just practicing the walls. Hence why I put the:

(Of course I know it's just a practice map but the best ways to practice mapping is going the whole 100% even if your just working on the walls) ;D
I understand what your saying as I wasn't really specific in what I was saying.
Basically what I was trying to say is in the first paragraph section. The second paragraph was just me rambling, kinda like the one above ^^
I understand what your saying Cal, but really it was more of a suggestion than a thing you need for your game like details.
Which is why I gave him a 7.5/10 instead of a higher number. I 'graded' it if you will, like this:
Caves-
:Design - 4:4
:Details - 3:0.5
:Levels - 2:2
:Errors - 1:1
(Btw, that's part of my old mapping text I made for my old games that I was working on so I judge my maps based on a certain criteria based on what type of map it is)
Hope I don't come off as an ass or anything, was just trying to explain my reasoning for things (:
He put some detail into it but not enough to nearly be 'accepted' as a 10 map
