Your map description (ingame) is not appropriate for a melee map but I understand the deal. Not sure if the black void looks that nice but I get it you wanted to create depth into a volcano/mountain's base? Another thing about the terrain is the tile...

  1. Your map description (ingame) is not appropriate for a melee map but I understand the deal.
  2. Not sure if the black void looks that nice but I get it you wanted to create depth into a volcano/mountain's base?
  3. Another thing about the terrain is the tile variation, it's not the nicest looking especially considering the map's name. Where's the actual volcano look? There are some reddish doodads with some bubbles but well, that's kind of random.
  4. I have a suggestion: what about making those black masses be passable by aerial units and put some neutral hostile camps (maybe Mines or something?) on those patches of land in the map's corners? Air units can actually pass over.
Overall it's a common 1v1 map and like any other of this type might be prone to rush strategies.

Set to Approved.

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions. The black masses are passable by aerials as they are just water. The black color somehow makes them look like barriers when they are actually not.

And as for the map concept, I put pretty much time finding a proper map name and description but couldn't really come up with anything good. That's why people keep asking what the map is about and I agree with everyone. Even I think they suck.

What I was thinking is that the volcano is currently in an inert state. There had been eruptions, but that was very very long time ago. Like I said, I should have explained that in the map description but yeahh... as you see. I failed.

I will update it with a new name and description.

Im struggling to understand some decisions you made. Why did you make the water black? Also, why place gravestones next to forest? They seem out of place there. There seems to be no volcano at all so the map presentation is misleading, and by claiming there is some volcano scenario you decided to use very little tile variation that ends up looking quite poor and dull.
