Terrain: You pretty much use just 1 tileset for the entire playable area, you have overplaced special effects, you use mushrooms and snow trees (which don't look good in their area's environment), and you have overplaced special effect doodads. Try adding a larger variety of tilesets, add environmental doodads, try using different types of trees that look better, and remove those ugly special effect doodads (they're not really ugly but they just look ugly in this case).

Idea: It's a pretty boring idea and ap0calypse said this only yesterday:

Fire vs Ice is very common and usually doesn't look good either.

Gameplay: It seems that all you try to do is chuck units at each other with a shared income (which I don't like) and to win, a unit only has to enter the opposition's victory region, which will cause 1 minute games. Also, I don't like it that you have to use the same boring blizzard units that all cost the same price (so people will take advantage of this).

Triggering: The triggers leak (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/complete-list-things-leak-126761/), you have used the useless action "Do Nothing" in several cases, and there are many triggers that can be combined together. You should probably use loops (if you don't know what they are, please learn about them) to reduce the number of lines too.

Overall: Nothing special about this map, has bad triggering (but it's not horrible), gameplay, and terrain as well. Before uploading a map, you need to think to yourself what the person playing this would think of your map and improve in those areas.

Verdict
The description is present; it could use some more capitalization fixes and some format adjustments, but it does okay for now.

Gameplay
Verdict
This is basically a map with melee units being cheaper and players amassing their most knowledgable melee groups to (shall I say trained one-by-one-slowly) meet in the center and see who wins. The concept is innovative and the round system is alright, but it just is not that impressive. A more detailed selection of units with some better price variation would possibly make up for this lacking feat.

Terrain
Verdict
The terrain is just not that defined nor is it original. It meets the standard theme/concept of the map, but that's about it (tug of war being round based).

Interface
Verdict
The interface was basic and handled okay. The melee units were the only things present, and I could not find any hotkey errors during the test. The map is not protected, and I managed to take a look at the GUI triggers: there were point leaks, wait functions, and many many many more leaks after that... so meany leaks... I would suggest looking at http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/ to fix leaks.

Replayability
Verdict
The round system proves to make the game rather long; this is a map you would find on the search list once or twice, test it, and problably never try it again.

Edit: the title has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the map other than the top and bottom have either fire or ice effects going off.

Too many tables man, makes it really annoying to read. Maybe you should just use a few hidden tags rather than having so many tables. No need for them anyway.
