Abandoned Temple

Another melee, made for good looks. The plot is that once, long time ago, a race of humanoids lived here. Eventually, they moved to better place, their city left behind. Once grand temple, based around Life Fountain fell into decay and now appeares as lovely ruins, covered in plants. However, the Servants of Ice have come to this once ever-green land in quest of turning whole world into giant chank of ice. They are quickly opposed by two groups of adventurers, who are also fighting each other over the treasures of temple.

Melee itself is "2 passages" style with a little variations. 2 bases, 1 vs 1 combat, 2 extra gold mines, 2 shops and 1 life fountain in the centre. Bridges may cause some problems (jerking unit movements, camera falling under). Other than that, no problems detected.

It alteres little from usual melees: no any changes in units or stas or whatever, but I use item tables which I see fit (and other people hate), and it's also unpatched, so you may meet some problems.

As far as terraining goes, this map is awesome. As far as melee maps go, this map sucks ass.

+ The map has a name, author, has a description, is in the right category
+ Terrain is fucking awesome
- Not enough gold mines. Gold mines positioned in a retarded spot.
+ Includes neutral buildings.
- Item table is completely unbalanced. Creeps have a chance to drop shit items or amazing items depending on how lucky you get.
- Not enough creeps, creeps are positioned randomly in the middle of the pathway.
- Creeps aren't on Camp, will start attacking you in your base or while you walk to the opponents base.

Rating: 2/5
Its a shame you don't play melee, cause the terraining is incredible.

I have played this map with water_Knight.

Your map has excellent terraining, no doubt, but I can't stand the fog. Most importantly, however, it contains many errors to be called a «melee»: the map does not use the most recent Warcraft patch, and as such, does not contain the latest balance fixes; has changed object data, such as the Vodoo Lounge not containing Clarity Potions but instead selling Dust of Appearence. And for what I can see for Captin_Worpex's comment, you used some freaky item tables.

Either I reject the resource because it does not meet basic melee map requirements, or you change the map type to Altered Melee. If I don't receive an answer within a period of more or less a week, the map will be Rejected.

Approve.

Any Personal Comments?
While this map has great terrain in many ways, there are faults.
Snow and Grass tiles shouldn't be together like that. as it will never snow in a 1x1 square surrounded by grass.
Snowy grass(or grassy snow, idk :p) would be much better.
Also, the same goes for the trees Snowy one and non snowy can't go side by side, like this.
Though, this is definitely approvable.
