This map is symmetrical and has a good terrain plane, but the author committed several mistakes, which I mentioned in a comment below. Rated 2/5 (Lacking) and Rejected.

Rui's review for "(4)Black Ice", a melee map by Bone Fletcher

I'm going to be brief here. The author made a symmetrical map with a good terrain plane, and that's a plus. But it has several mistakes: creeps drop items from random levels and any item group; all creep camps which do not guard Gold Mines have to be set to Camp acquisition range; the map uses a loading screen (not critical, but out of etiquette).There are other things that I didn't like, such as the terrain (plain, and heterogeneously textured) and the inequality of creep types for everyone.
That said, I'm rating this map 2/5 (Lacking) and Rejecting it.

Well, where do I start.. the terrain is rather simple and unnatural. The map really is a bit small for 4 players. The creeps are inconsistent for each player, possibly advantageous to one player. There's some strange lighting being used that makes everything look dark - it's not very pretty.

Also, use the regular loading screen.. no fancy campaign loading screen.
