Blizz City

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
1on1 map created with focus on balance and symmetry, hopefully allowing it to be a possible candidate for a competitive map - have played it a quite a few times by now and dynamics seem to be pretty interesting with both open areas and chokes.

Symmetrically placed it has:
2 open gold mines approximately even distance from both players
Tavern in middle
2 goblin merchants
2 mercenary camps
2 shops

1. Terrain is pretty much flat. 2. Tile and doodad variation not too visible. 3. It's not technically symmetrical. It also has many choke points mostly in the same map region. Awaiting Update. ================================ Always check/recheck...

Played the map, here is my review:

1. The red player starts with less trees around his gold mine which will make him more vulnerable to a blade master rush
2. Some of the weakest creeps drop strong items. A sea turtle hatchling dropped a tome of intelligence +2. People will exploit this, just kill one creep and run away. Give the better items to stronger creeps.
3. Terrain is flat and kind of empty. Not that it's a problem, but you can maybe add a few more doodads and increase height in certain areas.
4. The choke points are a good idea, but since the tree density near the expansions are so thin a player can just destroy them in a few seconds with an AOE spell or Glaive thrower/Meat wagon/Demolisher/Mortar team and completely outflank you which destroys the purpose of spending resources to defend them.
A ok map that needs improvements.
3/5 from me

Awaiting Update.

================================

Always check/recheck the Map Submission Rules! (Map Submission Rules)

These will help make a better description:


Screenshots could attract more players to download your work. Make the best of them.

A credits list is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated.

A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.

To make your work run smoother, fix the so called leaks: Triggers - Memory Leaks and Custom Scripts
