The heavy storms in this area make most look unkindly towards the Emerald Fields (here) but to someone such as yourself it's vast resources are perfect for causing war upon your enemies.

But it's natives aren't very thrilled to see a new face.

I feel there is a need to pause after Emerald Fields, perhaps a comma or a semi-colon? It's just me though . I feel like joining in the story telling...

Here's my revised version of the quick story. I don't know if it's any better or worse

Heavy storms in the area cause most to look unkindly towards the Emerald Fields, but it's plethora of resources become a perfect spot to wage war. Exert caution; as the natives aren't about to share with newcomers.

Here are a few things I found with the map:

• You've got this Green Dragon camp in the middle of the map, yet they don't drop anything? I know you've got the Marketplace there, but still? I thought it'd be worth something.
• You give players free Gold Mine expansions as there are no creeps guarding the Gold Mines in player start locations. Solution? Place some creeps there, the Melee Initialization triggers will remove any creeps nearby a starting location:
  
  
  • Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)
• I like the use of heavy rain and fog to create a storm ambiance, although the fog is rather thick, I guess it's fine though.
• You don't use many Doodads, it's mainly just trees and tile variation. Some environment would be nice. You could check the following maps that also share the Ashenvale tile set for inspiration: (4)Deathrose, (6)Moonglade, and (8)DragonFalls. Although some of them are rather bare in some parts.

Other than that, I guess it's fine to add to The Hiveworkshop's Melee Map list, although I don't think people play them much, do they ?

Also, shouldn't you add Marketplace to the list of neutral buildings you have in the opening post?

I appreciate your feedback and i'll get right on it.

The description errors are probably just a mistake I made because I was half asleep =P
And you know, I don't think any people do enjoy melee maps anymore... It's sad really, Warcraft 3's melees are rather entertaining if you ask me.

Edit: It's been updated.

I'm sure there is a small minority that does. However, this is a modding site, people want to mod the game and play custom maps, I'm not sure. Also it's rather irrelevant

Also, are you sure you uploaded the updated map?

I'm pretty sure I did though I can't be for certain... I'll check it when I get home from work.

So did you end up uploading the correct one? I'm too lazy to check for you and because of this:

Can you please fix next things so I can approve your map:

• Set neutral hostile units Target Acquisition to Campaign
• Add some more doodads
• Add some more item drops (example: dragons on center of the map)

Apologies. I updated the map and it should be free from stupid mistakes... It's rather embarrassing that I forgot to make the dragons drop loot.

I re-uploaded the updated map feel free to give another review on it.

 

[-Kobas-]

Aahahah dragons don't drop items again...
Shadows aren't calculated...
You still need to add more environment doodads (shrubs, rocks, flowers, mushrooms and so on)
Starting locations are unguarded (add neutral hostile units there as well, melee triggers will remove them in case that player play)

 

[Shaeam]

God damnit, are you positive?

If so I think i'm updating the map wrong... It doesn't seem to be uploading the current map file...


Edit: Hah! God i'm a idiot, I uploaded the previous version instead... I think, this should work now.
