Colds Plateu 0.1

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Cold Plateu


To Start with, I don't want this map accepted or declined at the moment, I just want a feedback of the map, what should improve / change.

1. Map Info:
I've been playing around with the world editor for several years, without any greater succes.
I've tried to create melee maps before, but I'm more of a guy who likes to edit and work with the object editor and cinematics.
Now, when I was bored and didn't really have anything to do, I thought about creating a melee map, because how hard could it actually be? Don't judge me to hard now on my map, I'm still a learner with designing cool stuff.
So, I picked Lordaeron Winter 96 x 96 and snow as main terrain.
The drop chance rate of an enemy unit is 20% of the item equal to it's level.

2. Features:
As said before, this is a basic melee map.
I don't know if there're actually any unique features in this map else than several trees.
And I suppose you all know what a melee map is, so I don't have to explain it.
So easily said, it's a basic blizzard map but own styled, no special items / units / buildings / skills, just a normal melee map.

3.Some more stuff about map:
As mentioned again, there ain't any specific about the map.
* Lordaeron Winter
* 96 x 96
* Units in the game:
- Ice trolls
- Polar bears
- Furbolg
- Reveants (only if no enemy)

5. Change Log:
Start:
- 2 teams
- Terrain, snow and dirt in middle.
- Creeps, 4 green, 3 orange, 2 red.
- Units added polar bear, ice troll, furbolgs, (reveants only if one player is gone)
- Trees
- Gold mines (12500 in each [4 gold mines] and one tavern) + 1 fountian of mana and one of healing.

0.1
- Thanks to Eubs ideas, I changed players mines to 7,500 each, and due that the map is small, the bets strategy is to strike before your opponent does so.
- Changed the terrain abit

6.Credits:
Tools being used: Jassnewgen pack
Others: Blizzard
The rest, has been made by me.

7. Author's notes:
Map is created by SkyFlyeR and uploaded by SlayabThoR
How come? Well, Both are my characters.

also said as headline: To Start with, I don't want this map accepted or declined at the moment, I just want a feedback of the map, what should improve / change.
Also, Sorry if this isn't really the exact way a map describtion should bee, the last time I uploaded any (declined) maps here, was in 2010.
But, I would like to have the headlines (blue text) as spoilers.
Btw, if you clould tell me how to make a template, I would be very greatfull

It is better to show us the overview of the map. Link is good but it is better to upload images here or use
HTML:
[img]http://imgur.com/a/zoZo9#0[/img]
. Also, tell us about the amount of green, yellow and red creep encampments; the number of goldmines and their respective amount.

SOME REVIEW:
1. The terrain is too flat.
2. Needs to add environmental doodads and some neutral units to make the map alive.
3. Use At least 3 type of tile variations.
4. Expansion goldmines should at least have different gold amount.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please, read this tutorial thoroughly. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/how-create-melee-maps-187652/

Thanks eubz, I will add:
* Neutral creeps
* Change the gold amount
* try to fix the images.
* I will edit the flat terrain to higher / lower.

But, which terrain would fit good? I don't really get :l

Alright, I added the thinks I wrote in my last post, If you've more suggestions, feel free to tell them.

Your map has quite a lot of weak points and shows that you do not have the skills yet.
So first off I suggest you check out this tutorial: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/how-create-melee-maps-187652/
And next, some terraining tutorials: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorials/

The terrain lacks tile variation, you've also given too many item drops to too many creeps.
Early harassment is also almost impossible since you can't really pass by the creeps without being attacked.
The terrain overall lacks detail, some environment doodads, maybe statues, etc.
A goblin shop is also always useful to have.
Overall your melee map lacks anything new, it has a generic layout.
