    I haven't played it yet, but it looks pretty solid based upon my walkthrough.
    The only things that really bothered me were:
    - The triangular pieces (bottom left corner of your 3rd picture) almost completely block the walkway into top mid. I'd recommend scaling that down a bit to allow at least 8 feet to walk around it on each side.
    - The numerous height variations in top mid. For my taste it's a bit too much variation for such a small space, and I don't think it's really necessary. I do like the dropdowns there.

    Aside from that, I like your re-design of the base areas. The scaling/spacing feels pretty good. The natural pieces in the courtyards feel...uhhh...natural, and they should serve their purpose of breaking up lines of sight across the bottom quite well. The atmosphere is nice.

    I think you could do something with color variation. As is, there's not much (any), and I think you could make the map look even better by adding some.

    I thank you for your criticism. I slightly adjust the triangular pieces you were talking about, and now they're slightly easier to walk around now. I can't say much about your second critique, but I did add a bit color variation to all sides, while also adding a bit of detail to the four massive pillars surrounding top mid.

    Anyways, I just updated the map, and I thank you for your support.
