I didn't have time to look at them. These are many maps... that, and the fact that I forgot to take a look at these. -.-
I don't have the time I had this season to look and make maps. :/
BUT, I promise I'll be seeing those and post my thoughts about these. (ATM I'm still disconnected @ home :/)

Val-Valerio:

Short walk-through descriptions coming soon.

Did you make these for LAN party use?  If so, what's the usual number of players?
Ages of the players?

Well, I've tried to test one of them with bots (I always test maps with bots first) and the missing AAS was a shame.

What I think depends in part on the intended player load and play type, and if
and what type of play-testing they've had.  See my earlier questions. Ah, I see
we have some clues from Graion Dilach.  No .aas = no bot play-testing.

To stimulate discussion while we play cat and mouse :-), here's my guess on the
order in which you made them.

stanze
labirinto
castello
Flash-tower
Galassia
water-house
piramidemaya

galassia and water-house could be the other way around because of
the change in scale between galassia and piramidemaya and the other
maps.


piramidemaya I have last
because of the change in style and texturing and that it's the first one with
obvious construction errors - HOM in the skybox, lack of clipping or brushes on the base
allows 'falling off the map'.  You may have missed this last because it is as far away
from where play will occur as you can get.  I found it while getting a size estimate
during my walkthrough.  I assume you're still working on piramidemaya, another reason to think
it's the most recent.

How did I do guessing the order?

Yes, I am deliberately avoiding discussion of details, *for the moment*. I have my reasons. :-)
You needn't worry.  This is a mapper-friendly environment.
