This map is good , but I saw few bad things .
First, The island is too small and small map can't hold large army .
Second, Blizzard models are bad for template map (In my opinion) . You must use imported HQ models because HQ models makes a map better .
And last, Instead of using blizzard cliffs, It is better to use a height tool for making island . Kindly look my image .

Echo Isle Template is a Terrain template type of map created by Forsaken. The map features a somewhat like an island inhabited by Orcs and I can say you putted some effort into this one.

Idea/Concept:
It's quite not that all the time you see Terrain Template on map Section and more likely an Island based for they take too much time due to careful detailing of putting Cliffs and making ground parts into Deep or Shallow Water. And for that I salte you on making such Terrain template that will serve useful for Hivers around here though if next time you could still pursue on more complex ideas for a Terrain Template, that will be better. I will give you 4/5 for that.

Terrain:
The Terrain looks really good and I love the simplicity of it. You also used some Unit and Buildings as doodads or decors which is creative if we are to think of it. The terrain is not that flat but at the lower portion of the island, it could use some little amounts of decorations and raising/lowering for it looks empty and flat. Also, while we can see that the Island is fully decorated, the water parts of the map are not and I suggest you to put maybe some Corals, Wrecked Ships and some trashes or broken ship parts scattered around the seas. Seas are never meant to be empty! I'll give you a rating of 3/5 here.

Overall, this Terrain template looks good and has this simple type of a terrain but you have shown quite creativity in making those Units and Buildings into Doodads. To sum up the scores you got in each category, you got 7/10 or 4/5. And here is also a reward for making such a creative map, +4 REP!

Several things wrong with this post
1. Maybe he made the template not to hold a large army. It looks more like a zone for an Rpg
2. While you said in your opinion it makes better, this statement is false since the map looks nice without imports and is of good quality. Importanting unnecessary HQ models to "make the map look better" just takes up space.
3. The blizzard cliffs were used fine, he lowered them into the water, which makes the outline stand out more on the mini map. Also the cliffs to make hills would have been better than jutt raise for the waterfall. Cliffs are underrated due to their so called "ugliness"

Finally a message to the creator, good work the map is good for a mini game or encampment for an rpg
4/5
Suggestions: work on the open areas since they are a bit bland, and the tile set since some of the grass is in water, and as we know plants cannot survive salty environment/soil

First: The template are for a short gameplay or a cinematc, don't for a great battle.
Second: Well more HD are really nice, but i love the doodads of blizzard, and some of them are so pretty.
And the Last: I like this cliff too, but not to do, just to play.

anyway, thanks for comment ^^

My comment is my only opinion

 

[FUJI]

Even if it is a template of the Echo Isle.. It stills look good ). 4.5/5 and +Rep ( you deserves this ^^. ). Btw, I'll test it later when I'm in PC.

@Forsaken

that

 

[Forsaken]

that

Ohh yeah, i will thanks

 

[Rheiko]

you're welcome

 

[Footman16]

Is this based off of the WoW Echo Isles? Just wondering because you should put that in the description in case people want something set in the WoW world.

 

[Metalbear]

I cant explain why, but I find it half nice and half disappointing.
3/5 from me

 

[Orcnet]

Map approved, see moderator comment on top.

 

[the DRAGOON]

3/5 it' s good but it coud be improved

 

[meatfactory]

Not bad, add some fog and maybe add some custom tree models (for diversity) there was a good palm model in the hive models section. Terrain looks like classic blizzard keep working on it. Look up some of the maps with good terrain to draw some good ideas.

 

[Forsaken]

Map updated!

 

[Yrk]

I like it

 

[maxxxus]

your map is very small.
