(2)Stream of Legan

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
At the stream of Legan, there are three fords, all major strategic objectives. Beware of the bandits around there, and capture the fords so you can destroy your enemy with no flanking problems ...

This map is terrible! Unfair terrain and not a very well terrained landscape, bad creep placement and drops, and no neutral buildings! The worst: the map has a VERY outdated patch. Rejected with a 1/5 (Unacceptable) rating.

Recommendation: Approval
Rationale: Nothing major wrong with it.

Pros:
[x] Good looking terrain.
[x] Decent melee map.

Con:
[x] No triggers, just a melee.
[x] All levels of computer are very hard to beat. AI might be messed up or I might just be terrible.

Melee maps can have triggers, I've seen several with them and they make it much more fun in my opinion.

And yes, melee maps should always have AI. If you read, I recommended approval and said there was nothing really wrong with it. So before you jump on someone and claim they "don't get maps", perhaps you should consider that they have some experience with maps too.

Rui's review on Belgarath's "Stream of Legan" melee map

I am negatively perplexed.

The terrain is the only averagely positive thing that can stand out. It still has a bad ground texture variation, no elevation, and the structure is most unlikely fair for both players.

The rest is just terrible!
Creep placement is wrong, their drops are bad, and there are no neutral buildings at all, not even expansion Gold Mines!

The worst is definitely the fact that this map is not using the current patch! That's VERY grave!

My rating is 1/5 (Unacceptable). I vote for the map's [highlight]rejection[/code].
