DIVING RIVER Created by Nour (Death Knight 2000) Map Info Description : This Is One Of The Most Dangerous Forests In Londareon But There Is A River Dividing This Forest Into 2 Lands, so you must find a way to cross this River to defeat your opponent, maybe if you explored the rest of the land you'll find something ? This Map Is Different (i'm not sure if someone made a map like this one) where you start next to your opponent and only A River and Trees preventing you from reaching your opponent It's Also The First Map I've Ever Made, there was a Map "War Of Venice" which was empty, just players, gold mines and trees Features Well This Map is A Melee Map , No Custom Units, Abilities or Anything Else, But It Offers a Crazy Gameplay and you may have fun playing in this map It Features
Screenshots Image Description: this is the full view of the map

Please , rework this map , The terrain is too flat , the tile is boring, the doodads is not properly used ...
SuggestionS :
Add small hills, or something that makes terrain not flat..
Add more tile variation, dirt, rough dirt, Thick grass etc ... You must look for some melee maps ...
The tree (doodads) , please make it more naturalistic ...
Put them into proper place...
Compare it to other melee maps and TADAHH !!!
I know you are a beginner, that's why practice and observing to the others map is the key to create good map

Comments:
- Add Tile Variation along with some doodads.
- The trees beside the river look robotic in formation.
- Put trees and cliffs on the map edges.
- I suggest you put a pathway through land because AI players do not buy transports.
- Don't overload every corner with monsters. Think of breathing space.
- The gold mines are too much for a regular map. Gold drain strategies won't work.
- Make the terrain look more natural rather than just made for that purpose.
Also, close Hidden Tags with "[/Hidden]".

Sadly rotation is not possible. Not in all cases does symmetry work perfectly anyways.
You have to make it look natural and not too automated/symmetrical.

Suggestions (not a map review):
-Creeps should be more hidden and less on the path. Many players scout and harass their enemy in early game. Many wouldn't like it.
-The top left of the map is a lot more crowded than the bottom right. This means more towering up
-2 hero taverns would be nice (No creeps on the taverns though!)
-Put critters (Sheep, pigs, frogs, whatever)
-Like others, some more decorations would be nicer. Shrubs, flowers, rocks and such.
The map is approve-able though.
I do like the layout. You can either go air/zepplins, split your army, hit the enemy hard on one side, it's nice.

Okay, I like the improvement. Sorry I forgot to suggest some things.
Select your creep camps and double click them, you'll end up on unit properties. Stay on the general tab, and look down. In target acquisition range, click camp. All blizzard melee maps do this to avoid creeps auto attacking from farther away.
Are you sure you want to keep the trolls near the bridges on the path? I really think they could be moved towards more the edge, near the trees.
EDIT: Oh and edit the screenshot when your done.

After testing the game's output and overall quality of the map, I must say this is more fitting of a practice value than giving it a shot for an upload, I don't want to disappoint your work and all but just to clarify some understandings:
-Since the map is more of a cut between borders like scenario, but the main bases are reversely next to each other the most obvious results would lead a player to do air unit raid against the enemy player through tier rush and quick access to expansions.
-Due to quick expansions, UD has the most fast way of air unit rush on the game with no enemy players on the lookout for nearby expansions for the other player to get in early as to blame the border, this gives in a terrible heat stroke for the losing dogma.
-With lacking FT neutral buildings, as well as decent amount of green creep camps to gain faster resources, games may lead to longer hours. depends on rush players
-The map is mostly build by a single tile and trees, nothing more, this gives low result of detail for the entire map, as well on strategic roundabouts for the game. Especially that natural bridge----tower+farm blockage? why not.
Overall, nice job for the work but I can be sure it must be better next time.
