Map Title: conquerenemylines

1. You've got broken bb codes here, fix it. Change map title to "(2) Conquer Enemy Lines" (without quotation marks).
2. Terrain should be fixed because it is not balanced right now. You have to use cliffs wisely. Use raise or lower to vary the terrain's slopes. I like your use of the falls, though.
3. Doodads are placed randomly like the obelisk I saw which is placed just somewhere else. Grasses are spammed in some places. But it's good that you have enough environmental doodads, just place them wisely.
4. I couldn't see neutral units except that naga sea witch of which I don't know why she should be there. Add some neutral units and remove the naga sea witch unless the map has a story why the sea witch should be there.
5. The placement of the expansion goldmines is not balanced. Player 2 has the advantage to get the goldmine first because its position is near to its starting location. You should place the expansion goldmines as balanced as possible.
6. Hostile creeps are scattered unwisely. There are few green creep encampments and those are far from the starting location which is not a good habit and is off in a melee map. Green creep camps should be more than orange and red creep camps and they should be near but not too near to the starting location of each player. You should add more green camps and your green camps which are far from the starting location should be brought near or convert some red encampments near the starting location to green camps.
7. The neutral buildings are also randomly placed.
8. Item drops should be random and not specific.
9. You can also add some cinematic doodads to spice up your map.
10. I suggest you read http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/how-create-melee-maps-187652/
I would like to vote for needs fix or awaiting update but you have too many to change with this map. Please, do have some readings first.
vote for rejection
