just for future reference, you can attach map files to your post, so you wont have to put it on a filehost site

I haven't taken a look at it, the idea of 32 players, each with 20shots and...a small map.

Maybe, take the shot limit down a bit? lol

Otherwise this is what will happen to an average player; "Spawn-Death-Spawn-Death-Spawn-Shoot-Death-Spawn-Death-Quit"

Where's the map? If we can't see it, we can't host it.

as of now, I dont really see how it looks like a city (based on screen shots) maybe you should either:
-add textures using my.bzflag.org/w
-or you can give us an aerial view of the map so we get the full jist of it.

if you dont know how to take aerial shots, go into observer mode and press the shift key and while this press the down arrow, this will make you fly up. then press ctrl and down or up arrows, this will change view.

-hope that helps.

It reminds me alot of "The Art of Getting Lost" except with a lot less stuff, and not as aesthetically pleasing. There are a few boxes eratically placed at the center of the map, so there could be a few possibilities for some gameplay there, but the rest of the map (about 85% of it) is open. There's nothing there. I suppose this isn't a problem set the world size to 125 though...

Other than all that, the map looks good. For what you were trying to go for though, I think you could have done a little more with it. Anyone can just make a bunch of boxes in BZEdit. I did like a map by anomaly that looked like this, only with textures and meshes, so we'll have to wait and see if this one picks up on that style.
