Nice, always love seeing more Outland maps

I like the map a lot. Symmetry looks perfect. I find hard to see in this tileset but not that hard in this map. Probably because its small. Creeps, camps everything looks amazing.

I could check out the map against A.I. Some stuff I would like to add:

• Both main bases are set wayyy further to the gold mine than it should be. I destroyed my own townhall, and I could rebuild it way closer to the gold mine (2 cuadrants closer to the gold mine, to be precised)
• I'm not sure why, (probably the tileset), but creep camps are DAMN hard to kill. Greens are okay, Oranges a bit hard, but the Red one.. jesus christ. That level 10 mistress of pain using coil, possession, hitting hard and AOE.. my god. Grunt suffered, but weak units.. my priests melt

Overall, GREAT JOB

So, is this a 1v1 version of Hellfire Plateau? I'm missing the 9-6-6 mini Archimondes

I've got a few comments/questions about gameplay:
-Expansion creeps seem annoying (for humans) to creep with cleave and damage reduction.
-Outland merc camp is of course a potential problem for highlevel balance. What do you think about it?
-What's the idea behind many forest edges being rather frayed (yes, I had to use google to find this word)?
-Did you find out what makes the Draenei Harbringer use their disruption ray ability?
-Itemdrops seem fair. Creeps will always look harder if you dont know what exactly to expect from them.
-Siege units can attack the expansion from behind by clearing trees, is this intented?

Technically, this map is flawless and with just minor questions about gameplay therefore Approved.

Kinda, wasn't sure about using that creep camp, since it feels pretty nasty in 1v1. I will think about it.

Expansion creeps seem annoying (for humans) to creep with cleave and damage reduction.

Will look into it.

Outland merc camp is of course a potential problem for highlevel balance. What do you think about it?

I think that forest troll would look kinda out of place (Not sure what unit could cause big imbalance, but I guess players will hate everything non-LordSumm nowadays.)

Did you find out what makes the Draenei Harbringer use their disruption ray ability?

Does he not cast that spell? I didn't playtested for long, - will have to check on that.

Siege units can attack the expansion from behind by clearing trees, is this intented?

Kinda, it was a compromise between expo location and map size. Do you consider it a problematic feature?

What's the idea behind many forest edges being rather frayed?

I don't know, I might have gone little overboard with it, but I usually hate long straight tree lines, thus I try to break it a little. Wisp hiding could be a little problem, but I guess I went more with visuals than gameplay with it. I can fill up the gaps if more people will demand it.

Thanks for approval.
