I believe I said people could make tweaks up to the deadline, so a couple of small things I'd campaign for at least:

1. Nomanisan Island is perfect in terms of "named places." I'd like the first map slightly better if it were "Joker's Hideout" (more clearly a *place* name) and the third one slightly better for the same reason if it were "The Turtle Lair."

2. Random glyphs is such a wiiiiide pool in C3G. There are ways to limit them a bit more to make them play a tad more consistently. Since Joker is a Batman villain, I'd consider going either Utility Glyph or, because he's Joker, Trap Glyph. Utility if you want to draw people there. Trap if it's not important to draw people to those spaces.

Similarly, for the sewer map, I'd go with Invention Glyphs, since that's more narrowly in Donatello's wheelhouse. Maybe Food or Invention if you want to throw in some Mikey love? But a random Cosmic Cube there seems odd to me.

Sweet maps! Really appreciate the entries.

Cool maps! Good to see you around these parts, HS2010!
