I want to participate, but I'm surprised by this: you can earn almost as many points for purely technical aspects as for the creative component. For example, an empty XL map with an empty Dungeon will be rated the same as a very interesting and detailed single-level map. What are these 20 points for – for two mouse clicks?
I think the evaluation criteria need to be changed.

I agree with you. The other day, I had a conversation with VDV_forever (I initiated it) about revising the scoring system.
When evaluating maps, I thought that the scoring system could be improved (points for each item):

1. Map size, presence of a Dungeon. 72x72 - 5 points, 108x108 - 10 points, 144x144 - 20 points, Dungeon - 10 points.
/It would be more logical if the score was tied to the map's area, not its dimensions, i.e., the score is directly proportional to the area/

2. Map density (i.e., the absence of "empty space").
Max. number of points - 72x72 - 10 points, 108x108 - 15 points, 144x144 - 20 points.
/It's more logical that the larger the map, the more difficult and time-consuming it is to make it dense/

3. Number and, most importantly, quality of mini-quests. Max. number of points - 40.
/Good and well-thought-out quests deserve a good reward/

4. Beauty of the landscape, the world as a whole. Max. number of points - 40.
/Creating beauty is painstaking work; I would probably give even more points for it if it deserves it/

5. Presence of balance (the map should be designed for high-level players). Max. number of points - 60.
/For an excellently designed balance on a map, you can get more points, even for a small map with a well-thought-out balance, than for a large map with a poorly designed balance./

6. Thoughtfulness and strength of neutral monsters. Max. number of points - 30.

7. Thoughtfulness and strength of the computer opponent. Max. number of points - 50.
/It's more difficult to design a computer opponent than neutral monsters, so you can get more points for it/
And VDV_forever asked me to evaluate the maps using both systems, and then we can choose which system will have a more subjective evaluation.

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.
