Well yeah, its not my usual style, but hell yeah I'm happy with it. Time spend to make this one: Not more than 5 hours.

Glad to see another melee map from u!
Gj man!

Thanks bro

Hi there Linkin Park fan :>

This seems to be a great map for it's name!!
'Cause beyond every bend
Is a long blinding end

Btw you choosed the name greatly

Good job there. I'm happy that PoC gets MOAR MAPS.

And I'm loving this baby!!! Good Job

Subscribing

Thanks guys, I'm planning to finish another map for PoC before my sembreak ends, just need to get some spare time, I have some personal plans for my sembreak

Mmmm, The gameplay is quite good, even if I think the Tavern is quite far from base.
Also many creeps shall have minor engage range (for example the green ones near the base).
This seems also to be a quick-made map, with quite flat terrain
I got to say, not one of your bests..

Hey how did you do the selection?

Can you be more elaborate how this become flat as I constantly used the height tool? Also all melee map have the same gameplay.. just saying. And tavern placement is fine, trust me I know what I'm doing. ;p

Also dropping a 2/5 rating because this is not my best work.. is unacceptable don't you think?

@Codename

What selection?

Anyway i'm still waiting for someone to make a full review *hint*Ken-E*hint*

Re-tested.
Ok, you're right 'bout the tavern
You didn't use the height tool as much as you say, only in some parts, like on rochy paths, so it does look flat.
Also adding more trees/doodads could help with it.
Needed more lumber amount for starting points and more around the map, to replenish it (it also looks a lil' bit empity in some parts) and also to defint the creep camps positions, that in many cases shall have a 200 engage range, to define theyr positions and avoiding troops diyng just cause the move to another place of the mas and get attacked by creeps. And you should also move the green ones near the base a little farer, cause they sometimes attack your base. (creeps camps are however fine, with good drops)
Other tips about height.. Elevating trees or neutral building gives a nice effect, and also, that's very important, dont only increase the height, but also decrease it.
Also it isn't true that all melee maps have the same gameplay.. you should know it very well, as a melee player
And, for last, the 2/5.. it was a missclick ^^'
It is a 3/5, if you do some uptades, 4/5
And, I'm glad to see that you still make melee maps, althought you said you were goint to retire

I see, I'm updating the map atm. Well I have a long sembreak want to get to making melee maps while I'm home, but will be busy on the following weeks I got some personal stuffs to do on my vacation.

EDIT:
Map Updated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Aproved Directors cut-Highly recomended :3

Sir sonofjay, r u bak nao?

@IChaos, yes for the time being, but I'll become inactive again after November 8,

Full Review Emerges

First off, I want to welcome you back to the land of the living, sonofjay. I'm really glad you decided to mod maps once again.

Well honestly speaking, the design feels really generic old WC 3 maps. While its symmetric, I want to point out some stuffs here and there. The entire map feels really feels an empty road, perhaps this is intentional but its way too empty. I'd remedy this with more doodads and preferably more trees. Speaking of trees, there are plenty of open spaces between tree lines, this allows unit to go on a hiding, that's baaaad...

The fog implementation is really works like a charm, not too overbearing but just right! More so empty is the water ways, be sure to add plenty of rocks and river rushes or whatever water related doodads you could get cause its far empty than the ground.

Add more creeps please! there's only one green camp. Should be atleast two if you ask me. There's also plenty of opportunities that creep camps could be set, use 'em.

While its completely playable, it just lacks beautification like archways, rocks, more trees, and etc. This would work as a template for PoC but I'm very confident that you'll add tons of more improvement to the entire map.

3/5, for now...
Would work as a template but surely you're not stopping here right?
~Ken-E

Neutrals here drop some of the best items in game. It was fun to play this map. Thanks for this one. I'll sure play it again with pleasure.

PS: I'd place a health fountain in the middle of the map instead of the tavern. The map will be more strategic... But is very ok how is it now

4/5 and +1 Rep for this great map. Thanks !


Later Edit// I'd vote for a health fountain in the middle . Anyone else ??

Glad that you liked it, I'll update this map when I finish the update i'm doing with all the Ken-E's suggestion.

Well fountain of health and tavern gives its own purposes.

So... I have to wait???

Wait are you already working on it? Well you might not get informed since me and Ken-E talk about the updates on chat. ;C

Sorry boss.

No worries, In fact any updates is good. Meanwhile I'm looking for a picture background according to the terrain for the main download page

Linkin park inspired name? Haha will test it out tomorrow and give some feedback

Edit: LP is awesome so i love the name!

You should know that SonofJay is gay for Linkin Park. By gay I mean gaga. By gaga I mean addicted :{D

Ok, PoC engine imported. Please check the map here: http://powerofcorruption.com/?download/page-2.html

Mirror @hive soon

Aligning the Mercenary Camps to the Tavern and some more creeps wouldn't hurt.

You would also want to have the number of players before the name of some of your maps and update them to have all the heroes of TFT newer patches for the Tavern.
