You can use Inkscape/gimp for example if you want to create your own tileset.

Why you give up that quickly? :(
It's not that hard to enhance the graphics of your map. You can take a look at Kintaro's video tutorials for a simple background or a animated sun. Furthermore you can just use the generic_unhooable_0.7 tileset to get a new look. All you have to then is to use a great variety of the blocks there are in this tileset. So, ye it can be hard in the first moment to create an own map but trust me, it's worth it :D

Thats true but... i thought if i create a map nobody write "the design is bad", because a map should make fun. And i dont want "waste" my time to create a tileset (i tryed it), or learn it because i cant it. And now i created this map 2 weeks now -> for nothing (sure, a bit experiernce but thats all).

But if you want i can try it again :I
Where can i find some cool tilesets that can i use?

Ye Skeptar, that looks a lot better than your first tries. Well done. If you now create a whole map with that design and creative parts, like you had in your last map (most of the time) then it will be a good map for sure (: You can decide on your own if you want to create a hard or easy map although there were many brutal maps in the last few weeks, so maybe an easier map for low modearte. But it's totally up to you (: One little thing though: You do not have to embdeed all the tilesets you use, because some of them are standard-tilesets.
do NOT embeed: generic_unhookable, grass_main, jungle_doodads + replace dead spears with jungle_killtiles and don't embeed that either

About the version by Ama. I like that new look. You just used another generic_unhookable tileset and varied with the different blocks more and the graphics are so much better now. Maybe it would look better with autumn_main instead of grass_main, but I don't know. It's just my personal taste.
