Corin's Crossing

[Gorin]

My first melee map ever, some issues are expected although I tried to minize amount of problems. Hopefully if its decent enough it might get approved for the melee mapping contest hf

I downloaded this map again. I really love your work here. For a first map, its pretty outstanding. Reminds me of Terenas Stand, but probably better to play for me. More neutral buildings and creeps. I even like the idea of playing this map in a 2v2 having the natural expansion as a second team spawn.

As I haven't seen any other map maker post here, I would like to tell you that there is 1 thing to be fixed in general, especially since this map could be in the tournament after the contest was closed: Trees are not completely closed. There are gaps everywhere. I made this mistake in my very first map too. This is a problem since small units can hide around.

Hey, thanks for the review! Actualy the original concept was based on Bandit Road and it was Lordaeron Summer tileset with much more things, but i've chose rather conservative approach in the end. I admit I rarely play melees so there's lot of things I miss. I signed for the contest mostly because I like to create nice blizzard-like scenery whether it's melee or not haha And thanks for pointing that out I'll try to fix it.

1. Fountains on small maps (near mines) are generally controversial. It's good that they're protected however night elves and Blademasters benefit from them during invisibility with or without guards. In such cases True Sight neutral hostiles would be good. Not sure if there's any though as I am not remembering any right now.
2. Nice touch with the highland and only reachable by air expansion, however I suggest leaving building space only for the main building (1-2 give or take towers area too maybe) as not to populate the area with towers.

Some of the judges say night elves might have an advantage using ancients to expand/creep: Hive Cup 2023: Melee Mapping Contest #9 - Results
Lovely classic vibe.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description 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 too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
