The Elysium

Please add a proper description, as in the guides below.
Non-standard melee stuff used so also adding the altered melee tag.

While creative using vision blockers, putting them so close to starting points could prove annoying as shady tactics could be used (Blademaster/night elf invisible units/Reveal/Crystal Ball [if you happen to get it] or a Zeppelin/air unit near the enemy base while siege units attack from the bushes. Also, Curse units are a bit too heavy for initial creeping. Because of the shrubbery so close, there's also little building space, with a yellow (spider) camp right around the corner.
Tad overkill to have so many shipyards considering one of them is less guarded.
I feel it's a nice touch to have a fountain protected and so hard to reach however this can be abused if one player happens to build towers or defenses around it.
Please remove the dummy neutral and superfluous neutral hostile units that don't really help the gameplay but look weird and is confusing. Also, take note that heroes generally give more experience than units.
Other than that, there's one ground path and ships like Zeppelins can make annoying tactics of hit and run.

Simple.

A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
