(2) Mojo Reclamation v2

[OnyxTheDark]

Humm, could work a bit more on those tiles, too much dirt imo
Also, why those melee changes, you should revert those and keep map as melee
Noticed a lvl2item drop on troll lvl6, seems a bit short of a loot

You have some unused tiles, replace one with sand, and map should be prettier

I also don't like golems at mines not being on camp, don't base your maps on blizz ones, just turn everything on camp, gameplay will me smoother

Thanks for the feedback. I agree and made changes accordingly.

Hi donnerdaumen,

Positives
Gameplay:

• Symmetrical map design for balanced play.

Aesthetics:

• Decent amount of doodads around camps.
• Interesting use of Farm/Human structures for a tropical themed map.

Comments

• I would also say that the map is too symmetrical, there is not a single camp that isn't reflected on the other side of the map. This could be a focal point to help swing the game one way or the other and break a stalemate.
• I can see that you have gone through and added in other tiles through out the map in place of the dirt, but I feel you can do a little more in the bottom right corner.
• I am also unsure of how I feel about the Tavern being so close and unobstructed to the spawn point.
  • This could be a blessing in that it allows the player to access a neutral hero with relative ease and also allow the player to buy back their dead heroes without much exposure.
  • However, this can also be oppressive, in that it can lend a hand to the player being rushed by the opponent, as they buy their neutral hero right next to their opponent's base and buy back their fallen hero to to double down on the attack, should it die.

Suggestions
Gameplay:

• Terrain
  • I feel the spawning location has limited space for base building.
  • While it's good to have open space for combat, it is important to add in some areas to allow for vision blocking/choke points. This will give a running hero a chance to dodge incoming ranged attacks/spells.
  • Not enough space around neutral buildings. There is limited space behind many of the buildings to allow units/heroes to walk behind the building.
• Creep Camps
  • Initial creep camps are ok, if a little tough out the gate. Especially with a level 5 creep camp farther away. I guess the southern central camp is missing a Forest Troll, that would make it a Level 7 Camp.
  • On the subject the of the level 5 7 creep camp, it appears to be dropping a level 2 power-up, which is a lot for such a low level camp.
    • I feel a Level 2 Power-up could work for a Green Camp, but maybe a level 9 Creep Camp.
  • Now this would require some restructuring, but I would like to see the established red camps dropping a Permanent 4. Then a new single centrally located red camp, that would drop your Permanent 5.

Aesthetics:

• I might be biased, but add more doodads around the map, outside of the creep camps. Make a little scene just around some trees somewhere in the map or off the water front. Ex: Temple ruins or a trashed wagon with spilled out supplies.
• Sprinkle in a few canopy style trees to add a bit of spice.

Overall I say you have solid ground to work from, and with some modifications can make for a very pleasant map. I look forward to what you do with the map.

Great work here. Love the layout of this map.
Creeping paths are okay. You reach level 2 very fast while hitting level 3 takes a bit longer because of the distances.

Some stuff to polish:

• Middle north and middle south expansions got that damn lizzard that hits like a truck. Hard to engage with mele units.. Not sure about this.
• Water areas should contain more dooads for stylish purposes.
• Havent found any critters. Good for undead players
• Red creep camps on corners are very very narrow. Adding more space should be viable and comfortable for creeping.
• Add the number of players in the map title and map name: (2) Mojo reclamation v2. This is just a standard name convention.

Would love to see more comments here

Approved based on @btp|Lancer and @Figglewig's reviews.
Tad minimal design.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description 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 too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
