Well, on the risk of repeating myself: -Map looks interesting. Do you know you can use the "region" option to set a weather effects for only a part of your map instead of globally? -Lack of doodads in some places. -Gaps between trees, and sometimes...

Ok, so 5 seems to be fixed now. I would have liked to see you do something about the other issues too, but I did not notice anything. Given that this is not a "serious" map and I did not insist you fix all of the other stuff, I'll approve it finally...

-Lack of doodads in some places.
-Gaps between trees, and sometimes between trees and water.
-Itemdrops are all working correctly! They also seem to be balanced.
-Some starting locations are too far away from the gold mines.
-Creeps at the expansions should not be on camp stance.
-Some creeps are facing in weird directions.
-The playable area should not extend up to the shadow area on the edges of the map.

So this map also goes to Awaiting update. Please make some updates regardin to theses isues and then I'll have another look.

1. I don't know that and I can't find it so pass it(later then)
2. I add more doodad as a environment, is that what you mean?
3. I try to do the best by now.
4. Thanks you!
5. I change that.
6. do you mean that mercenary camp should not be near goldmines?
7. I change that.
8. did you mean the right down corner? if that's next time I will live it only doodads (I add it because it was empty and expansion camp isn't a good idea cause there's only yellow there...)
as
any other comment? and can you reply the question that I have asked you please?

2. Yes, adding more doodads is a good (but not the only) way to make a map look more "natural" or interesting in general.
6. Normall, orcs and human only need 5 peons/peasants for the goldmine. However, on several starting positions here, they need more than 5 workers to mine gold:

8. Yes, the right down corner, but also other areas on the right side of the map such as this:

Alright, regarding the points I mentioned earlier:
1. Does not really matter
2. Still many places without many doodads, but it is not very important.
3. Still exists, but is very hard to fix.
4. Didnt check everything again, still seems ok.
5. It seems to me that this issue still exists, even though it is not as extreme as before. ( I referred to this as "6." in my post above by mistake. I hope this did not cause any confusion).
6. Still exists. I mean that the creeps should be "blue" everywhere, except for the creeps near goldmines.
7. Still exists, but it is not important.
8. This is fixed now.

There are some other minor issues, like asymmetry, very open starting locations which are not protected by trees and more. But I understand they are this way because of the overall design of the map.

So there is still a lot of stuff that you can update. 5 is the most important. Please fix that, until then the map goes back to awaiting update. Of course, improving the other issues would also be nice :)
