Credit authors of imported material? You could potentially chop some of the trees near the expansion mine and build a main building where the trolls might not come for. Might want to place those trolls near the mine. Approved...

Approved.

===========================================

Always check/recheck the Map Submission Rules! (Map Submission Rules)

These will help make a better description:


A credits list 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.

A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.

No matter how much trees placed on map. In my oppininon this is perfect map to fight with friend in close conditions. Unused space - not non-standard for melee mapping. This is designer's variant of battleground and it is not so squared and mirrored as yours melees, but borders is still square-standarted - so this is a reason that there a bit more trees.

My map maded for Melee Mapping Contest and if I add credits in a Quest Log, then my map will be classified as non-melee. So Sorry...

- Credits added to topic.

Read the rules. That is not necessary. It's only mandatory in the map thread's description.

No. I meant that it might be possible for the trolls not to attack your shredder of peons if they pass carefully and then start cutting trees to then build a main hall but I guess the camping range is high and the trolls would come to attack the main building.

You right, basicly trolls protected the goldmine. You can try to do as you want - chop the trees and build up Hall that will be unprotected. But you will need long time for this operation. I don't think that will give you advantage, so this is not an excuse to reduce the rating.

A nice, fun addition map for melee game. Map pace is fast due to its size so you have only one primary area to fully establish main base. Creep camp is well balanced in neat positions. Though, I find it is a little funny with re-colored tiles. It is very good for your first map. Keep it up, you really have that terrain skill and even getting better in the future.
