This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
War comes to Silvermoon, the capital of Quel'Thalas, as armies battle for control of the magical Sunwell. Quickly claim a goldmine and defeat the Sunwell's guardians to access the shopsvthat might just change the tides of war.

Map Info:
After a very long hiatus during which I gave up on making any maps, I have returned to the Hiveworkshop with a very simple map. Strictly speaking this is not my map. This is Undead05 from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and is thus Blizzard Entertainment's map, but I have converted it to a melee map and done some minor edits that optimized it for a melee game.
Changes from the Blizzard Campaign Map:
As part of optimization, in addition to resetting all triggers to make it a melee map and resetting the object data I did the following:
* Terrain Edits
* An Additional Goldmine
* All Elven Farms on the map have been replaced with the Elven Building Doodad
* Added A Few Added Doodads, Trees, etc.
*Additional Creep Camps and Neutral Buildings
Map Features:
Screenshots:
Full Map:
Sunwell:
Fountain of Health:
Author's notes:
I have tested this map as an observer with computer insane AIs on 1v1 and have found that the AIs are able to play the map with very little issue.
I sincerely hope that someone enjoys playing this map. If there are any issues or you have any suggestions contact me.

The map is a campaign map conversion which make the terrain very Blizzard stylish. It however is not acceptable for a melee terrain at its current state:
Player 3 has no place to build on and Player 4 suffers from it too. Only Player 2 has enough place to build on. You might want to fix those roads to turn then buildable ground and fix some doodads off the way, or think some other creative way.
The Neutral building placement is also unfair: Fountain of health is unreachable by Player 2 and 3 for example. Try to mirror the map somehow to make it more balanced. The map seems a bit too small for 4 players (no room for additional gold mines).
Some creeps are facing really odd angles. The item drops are just pure madness. Currently even an easy creep can drop you a Kelen's Dagger of Escape. Make it more realistic: easy creeps drop low tier items and ramp it up as the difficulty of the creeps increases. Also, prefer making the item drops more stable, instead of picking one item out of 25 possible random items that are not even on the same level. Some creep camps (such as the 4 granite golem camp) is also too hard to be efficient - players lose more than they can gain from it. Not to mention that each player does not have the same creep camps: Player 1 and 2 have an easy gnoll camp but that is absent in Player 3 and 4's side of the map. Some creep camps are also too close to the roads and thus should be moved farther to avoid unintentional interruption.
At the current state it is not acceptable.

Will consider making it a two player map after finding suitable starting locations. May use 1 and 2 as starting locations and destroy the bridge that connects them. Creep camps will be adjusted, playable map area may be extended or terrain redone in some areas.
The four golems, at least in the matches I played are usually killed one at a time, but I will consider changing them or making the Sunwell have some benefit as a fountain of replenishment.
EDIT: Many changes, see changelog.

Two things
- As of now, the base locations are very unbalanced (Blue player is at a massive disadvantage both in terms of distance from nearest expansion and space they initally start with
- That said, I like the look of the map
With some modification to the blue player starting area this could definitely be approved.
(Personally, Id move it to the bottom left mine, but in the end it is your call.)

Originally it was decided that there was not enough space down there for a player. I may try to move to address the issues over the weekend, but blue will remain where it is.
