(2)Shattered Realm v1.0

[Figglewig]

Hi everyone, back with another 1v1 Melee Map. This time, I made a smaller Outland map, which should make for a better early to mid game style map. There are however still opportunities for expansion play. I also utilized a select few creeps from outside the Outlands creep set, ex: Different Skeletal Orcs, Skeletal Archers, and Ogre Magi.

I hope everyone can enjoy the map, and like always I appreciate any and all feedback.

Hello there
Had a quick look at your map
I feel like aethetics are fine but I'm bothered with a few things

Your green camps are both lvl 9, which is rather high
Usually you want 3 green camp per players, between lvl 5 and 8
Killing a lvl 5 ogremagi and only get a lvl 1 item as a reward is a pity

So I would reduce lvls on both green camps, and if possible add a third

Having merc camp in the mid is not great imo, if you fight a red camp you want a big reward, alongside item, some fountain/marketplace would be great, and then you could add 2 more orange camps for mercs, i guess top between expo and player and same bottom, and on those you get the ogre magi which drops a more powerful item

Map is quite open, number of starting trees is fine, I'd prolly add some more at the easiest expo tho
You don't need to put critters on camp

People usually aren't fond of Black Citadel/Outland creeps because they are strong, and you're proving their point by putting only strong units , I'm fine with it, but don't think others would

So my last suggestion would be to increase the number of low lvl units

Overall could definitly get some more work done

Thank you again for feedback OnyxTheDark,

I have gone through and added in another green camp on both sides of the map, and reduced the power level of some of the creep camps across the board. Hopefully the creep camps will be a little more manageable. Then I adjusted the trees available at the Voidwalker Goldmine.

Like always I look forward to any and all feedback.

Quite a nice standard melee map. It's important to have the loot on the strongest creature in a group (not sure if the wolf is tougher than the drake). Of course attention is needed for neutral hostile air units not to die on deep water/air/no walkable terrain for the item(s) not to be lost.

Approved.

• 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.

With a lot of help and playtesting from great members from the community, I feel that Shattered Realm has moved in a great direction. I hope that this map helps to inspires more people to try new tilesets and creeps. The demons certainly push above their weight, but I feel that the creep camps are in a decent state.

I would of course love to hear feedback on the current state of the map, to help make it even greater.

Thank you to: OnyxTheDark, deepstrasz, Raynor88, Sunshine, mrmikemtl, and other playtesters for all of your help so far.

Quite a nice standard melee map. It's important to have the loot on the strongest creature in a group (not sure if the wolf is tougher than the drake). Of course attention is needed for neutral hostile air units not to die on deep water/air/no walkable terrain for the item(s) not to be lost.

Thank you, the Nether Drake does have the highest health pool out of the camp. With the Goblin Shop being in the center of the map and a major cross through, I had taken feedback to help open the area to make it easier to fight over, but also to help engage the creep camp and prevent item loss. I felt the need to keep the Nether Drake because of it's flight allowing it to be engaged from either side of the entrance to the area and to keep it a single item camp (plus it looks cool ).
