StoPCampinGn00b: A [mostly] symmetrical expansion heavy melee map that could use more work decorating. Some expansions might be a too near each other for comfort, but it can work. Map approved.

Screens.

I'm sorry if this is a downgrade from Enchanted Glade - I can't leave Cake Age stuff unreleased.

Tint the fog a bit darker and change the sky to Fogged.

Add more lily pads on the small lakes.

bottom player is in high disadvantage compared to the top player, because the top player is on cliff, so he sees what comes to him, and his units have chance to evade incomming damage if fighting units on cliff, whereas the bottom player will be the one missing inside his own base as well as not see incomming enemy

 

[Rex.]

Adding features in the description would be good too.

 

[Vinz]

edo, it's symmetrical, though it somehow looks like.. that, in the screenshot. D:

Good melee map. Not one of your best ones though for some reasons.

- Item drops are a disaster! I see level 6 items of a Forest Troll Warlord. Although he is also level 6, I don't think such a creep is worth an Inferno Stone or Demonic Figurine. Same goes for the Gnoll Overseers. Then, I noticed there are many creeps which drop Power Up items. Believe me, this is not suitable for a melee map, it's kinda RPG-ish to have Power Ups on many creeps
- Many ramps are too restricted. I see that the Goblin Laboratories are in a bit small area. The expansion gold mines on the cliffs are on a large area but the ramp that leads to them is too tiny and should be bigger

Other than that, I appreciated this melee map. It has a great tile variation and the terrain was pleasing. The symmetry is perfect so both sides are balanced. As an overall result, I would give the map 3/5 and vote for APPROVAL!

 

[Vinz]

Thank you for the review. I'll note.

 

[JCarrill0]

why does it say its custom if its melee, custom editing? Custom imports?

 

[Vinz]

Yes. I also use triggers to set gold on mines, because my MPQ is bugged.

Well then, no cake for you!

Somehow those Archways are a little misplaced, as well as the Ogres guarding goblin merchants, it seems like a quick rush for item grabbing which is a free for all now.

6 Expansions, 20kg for 4

@Rufus
Found the actual map this was the one.

Err.. so as seen that ogre can possibly get stuck there after being hired, please fix that little pathing issue sometime.

 

[Rufus]

Set to awaiting update because of the bug that Eagle found. It can be approved once again when it is fixed.
