I'm a noob mapper, and I'm trying to make my first map. I've consumed a great deal of tutorials here, many of which discuss ideas of routes, balancing a map etc. However, despite knowing how the areas of my map should be placed in relation to each other, where to put flank routes, and other information on how my map is to be laid out, I have absolutely no idea what to put within the combat areas to make them fun. I don't know where to put my control points, what obstacles to place in the area around it, what land should be high or low, and in general just don't know how to make these areas promote fun and interesting gameplay.
Can anybody point me towards a tutorial dedicated to designing these areas (esp. the areas around a control point), or otherwise just provide a few tips?
