Hey there, friend. Played your map and I must say, this is a great melee map. Every things in the map, I like it. Here is more detailed review to show:

[+] Good Points:
-Terrain is really great. You mixed the tiles very well, smooth with sharp tiles in my eyes looks good for me. The terrain is also not empty. You used not lots of doodads but you chose the proper doodads that best fits the environment. Nice job!
-This melee map has the required resources in the map such as Gold Mines and shops.
-The map is quite open and open for any possibilities of ambushes that greatly fits a melee map.

[-] Bad Points:
-Terrain is really good but some tips is dont try mixing sharp and smooth surfaced tile. It might look good in my eyes but many can disagree on this one.
-Just noticed right now it is also dead flat, try using the Raise/Lower tool to do the trick

[] Suggestion:
-Maybe add a fountain for this melee map. If there is already one, disregard this suggestion =)

Overall, your melee map is great. I will rate this 3/5 (spreading first...) and a +4 REP to you, bro.

But maybe bro, you can fix the description by using VK's Map Description generator located at my signature. =D

Voting for Approval also only if you first fix your description, bro!

Yea, it would probably make more sense to switch the taverns and health fountains. I'll think it over later to see what I can do, but I will probably end up doing that.

Nice melee map you got here.

Anyway here is a short review.

The terrain seems to be bland, the cruz thingy on the middle isn't really the best land mark in my opinion, this melee map needs a more stronger characteristic, in other words it needs more flare. Black Citadel have one of sexiest tileset on Warcraft 3 you need to take advantage of that. Also the overall terrain is flat and emtpy it needs more doodad and design to hit. Well strategically, there isn't really something that I can point out that stand out I suggest that you add a tavern in the middle to redeem the strategic part of the map. Also you might want to add some cliffs between the trees on the expansion goldmines the rear is vulnerable when the orc, human and undead lumber jacks cut down the trees which is a disadvantage against the night elves.

Anyway I'm rating this 2/5 but it can be approve.

Aww, man. I am not really in myself today. Yes, the terrain is flat... oh damn, good thing you said that.

 

[sonofjay]

Don't blame yourself, I'm just more into melee maps that's why my review is much accurate than yours.

Heheheeh, your the man. You should help Orcnet at reviewing melee maps.

I think everything is cool by now, except sonofjay's review about doodads/decorations, spicing the map with decor would be a blessing to melee players right now it looks splat and missing that detail that we love to see. But terrain didn't caught my attention but the middle part of the map, the creep levels are too damn high and creeping out that area can be a suicide on your army rank as well on tier time I'd rather go straight to my enemy's base than deal the middle, unless you can tone it down a little and give some treasure will your at it

in samples like a dragon roost, gold mine(depends if you change ground path),marketplace, or an item with rare abilities

 

[Dylennis]

The creeps are supposed to be pretty hard there xD they drop game changing items so although you might lose like 5 units you'll end up with 2 strong consumables and a summon.
