Author Notes:

I've made maps in Warcraft III since the dawn of time, yet in all those years i have never made a melee map. I thought i would give it a go, so here it is, my first Melee Map. Overall i think i did a good job. I like the Item Drops, and the amount of Creeps and Shops. I might have overdone it a bit on the Doodads, and the player starting location might be a little tight. Could maybe have made more green Creep Camps.

Changelog:
01/06/13 - Updated Map, Gates are now alive again, added 2 extra green camps, removed the mercenary camps and replaced labotories with mercenary camps. Changes to creeps, and items drops. Changed all gold mines to contain 12500 gold.

Terrain is nice. It almost looks like Blizzard made this. :)

Everything seems good. Creep camps are fine but I don't like the idea of putting gates near the extra gold mine. Maybe put some creeps to guard the mercenary camp and the tavern in the middle.

There seems to be less space and trees in the starting location than the extra gold mines part. If I would play this, I would rather place my main base at the secondary gold mine since it has a lot more space and trees than near my starting location.
Overall, this is a pretty nice melee map. The only thing really bugging me are those demonic gates you placed.​

and to think I was running around using cheat code to find mediev hidden by a dark portal somewhere!
I opened the map, and He's no where to be found! (come on add him like a "wheres waldo!")

I haven't rated this map yet because I haven't truly tested out the map in a Melee vs a human opponent. So far vs comp it works well, Creeps are ok, terrain is good (missing a certain guardian though :p)
