The Arcadian Forest

Description


The Arcadian Forest is a basic melee map; however, it puts a strong emphasis on lumber-jacking. In order to reach additional gold mines, your opponents, and the shops, you must chop through tree walls.

A Dragon Roost is located in the middle, with 6 Red Dragon Whelps, 2 Red Drakes, and 1 Red Dragon. This means, it is EXTREMELY difficult to reach this roost; however, the shops may be accessed with ease as long as you cut through a couple tree walls. Just watch out for the monsters protecting their gold mines!

AI may or may not work; since lumber work is required to reach your opponents, they will either A; take forever, or B; not reach you at all. It is recommended that if you play with AI, you work to quickly connect the bases.

***Arcadian Forest***

Map Overview

***For a 4 player melee map, a lot of work is needed to improve***

What I liked:

***
-Starting locations, placed as square
***

What could be improved:

***
1)all neutral buildings placed in a same place.
2) creeps doesnt loot items
3) wild terrain all flat
4) 100% one tile set the grass
5) the form of the map is not very atractive to me, i saw maps like this and in my opinion log and log and log, i think it can be better
6) not a single doodad, so the enviroment is missing
***


Rating and Final Thoughts:

***rejection*** ***No, good enviroment, no good terrain, game play isnt that good because the loot system and neutral buildings in a same place,so in the end there arent good things, also you can make this map in 30-60 mins, the only effort here is to put trees,***

i sugest you to read tutorials, study approved maps, or blizzard maps to improve

I updated terrain, doodads, mobs, etc. The map was redone to fix the issues you mentioned. There's a spread terrain, mobs drop loot now, the shops are spread, I lowered the number of tree walls, the terrain has several rocks and many wild plants, there are barrels located near each shop, and there are random rolling hills, along with a large hill at the location of the Red Dragon Roost in the center.
