Setly Village

hey this is my first submission ever so i appreciate any and all constructive criticism that being said i hope someone gets some entertainment out of this i personaly enjoyed making it.

Updates
ferns and grass models have been added to try and improve the look of the whole thing

DESCRIPTION
a simple medium sized summer village map with an attention to detail. some beautiful areas and an abundance of lumber however gold can be scarce though there are many creeps and other creatures around the map that hold unique and expensive items. the path will get thin in places making it difficult to get around but there are ways to avoid the paths entirely.

this map is played best with 3 players all against all.

FUTURE PLANS
i plan on setting up some triggers that will make it rain randomly from time to time.
in game screenshots to come.
more in editor screenshots to come.

IMPORTS AND SO ON
animated grass model by Sunchips.
fern model by Verdun.
requires frozen throne latest patch.

LAST WORDS
i wanna say thanks to everyone whos commented so far you have all been so helpfull and kind to a new guy like me, keep it coming its the only way im going to learn. and lastly this map is a template of sorts if anyone wants to use it for there own project you have my full permission to do what you must with it so long as i get some credit.

I would suggest that you add more in-editor screenshots, since this seem to be a template of some kind. Your current screenshots is ok, but I think you can do much better. :)
Additionally, I need you to read the submission rules (specifically about description), so you understand why I am tagging this as awaiting update.

Read the rules, and update the description, and this can be approved.

Those screenshots does look beautiful!
The description is now much better aswell!

I would suggest that you pollish your description further, by adding more structure and text to it, this is however not neeed for approval.

Well done! :)

Approved.

I'm glad to hear that! :)

I forgot to give you some actual feedback though. I hope this will help or inspire you further.

Here are some things I think you can improve:
-I'm allergic to those cliffs going straight down into the water. Even though you did pull it off, I usually think that rolling shores are much better. This map may be better of as it is now, though.
-The rocks and mushroom cliffs taht can be found at various places looks decent, but it also looks a little bit strange.
-In the northern base, there is a pretty ugly and undecorated area by the trees to the east.
-The southern base with the cathedral has an open grassy area. This looks pretty ugly, since the tiles are placed in a strange manner. I guess this map is meant for melee, but I think you can make this better.

Other than that, I find this map to be really good-looking!
I love terrains that only ocntain blizzard stuff, and you made it look really great. I'm considering using this as a template for my own project, with your blessing, of course. :)
