Map Info

Welcome everyone to my map page. Lost Ruins is a 2 player melee map, where two people are put against each other and they are to verse (Melee). Lost ruins is a continuation from Lost Shallows, but is a different game mode, since I always wanted to work on a melee. Here is the description for my map;

The Island that was found by the explorers expanded further to ruins in the distance, and they colonized here, but they are not alone. Not only are there sea monsters, but there are other settlers nearby.
Features

This map has several features;
- 2 Waygates
- 2 Goblin Merchants
- 2 Taverns
- 1 Goblin Laboratory
- 4 Gold Mines (2 starting, 2 expanding)

Creep camps also are;
- 4 Green Camps
- 10 Orange Camps (Including starting position)
- 1 Red Camp
Tips

Now some tips I would suggest for the user who plays this map;
- Zone Control (see screenshots for what this means) is a massive thing in this game. In order for you to expand to the enemy base later on into the game, you must have good control over your base to push forward into theirs. So if possible try seize the third goldmine before the enemies do.
- Ambushing is a major part as well. You can do this easily by using the two waygates located to the south and the north of the map, which allow you to easily ambush the enemy team which is going for a goldmine
- Rushing; I would suggest this for either undead or humans, since they can make units early quickly without much cost and time. Now while you can rush, the waygates are guarded by monsters, so if they haven't taken them yet, prepare to lose some health before you hit there base.

"Lost Ruins" is a melee map made for a 1v1 match and set on the theme of Sunken Ruins.

"Well balanced map, the creep difficulty, ground level, and expansions are fit and well made, good job for this."

Terrain

"Terrain is very neat, but try to pinch in some more jungle-like landscapes like plants/flowers/rocks to give it more decayed by nature like surroundings."

I did use it around the bases and middle, but I can add it to other places. The only thing stopping me from using it in other areas, is that it would look ugly due to the narrow areas.

This is really nice. Its fairly large for 1v1, but if someone want to add a player, thats not hard. Great work. Very visually pleasing. Can I use it to make a Murloc AoS? It has nice lanes for dota style play. 5/5
Thanks for the compliment, but about that AoS I don't really want the terrain being used for another map, since this is apart of my Lost Shallows Trilogy.

very nice map.
you decorated the gold mines with plants
you created those ligthining towers in the center.
and changed colors of those statues.

simple and good is twice as good

i lerned many things from your map.

Thanks for the feedback, I learnt about those things too while I was making it :)
