Dalaran Ruins

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Melee map that I created during long nights of last week in September.
Nothing special but I thought that I can increase Hive's size :)

I would like to mention that I have few maps that ere made in Reign of Chaos World Editor because I was giving them to a friend which has no The Frozen Throne... :)

Terrain & Resources
I hardly see other type of destructible/doodad rather than just a different type of tree and column. The terrain is too flat, you should try to smooth it and add some other destructible/doodad such as flower or weed. And the tree position seems to be quite random.

As for the resources distribution, it seems to be fine till the 2 gold mine at middle having 50k of gold.
Error
Neutral structure position are way to off, inbalance item drop, mass unit placing and wrong facing position. There is still lot's of error about it.
Unit Position & Item Drop
Unit position are very bad, they are too far from the base they guard and some of them have a wrong facing position. And you placed too many creep to guard a structure especially the 2 gold mine. The place is quite inbalance as it close to the dragon roost as well. Wihtout a valid reason, those 2 gold mine should keep quite a far distance.

As for the item drop, it is still not quite balance especially when you make too many unit guarding a neutral structure drop powerful item especially the dragon roost.
Packaging & Description/Information/Detail
Packaging and description are way too bad. There is no story or information about the map that could lure or attract the interest of player to download and enjoy it.
Quality & Hiveworkshop Rules
Quality are extremely weak and not ready for approval although it follow the hiveworkshop rules.
Overall Review
When a map have a custom unit/item, it is no longer a melee map. Please remove the custom granite golem and merchant. Plenty of weakness at terrain, resources distribution, unit position and item drop as well.

This map is not ready for approval, any user would vote this map a rating 1 due to the poor quality. If Gilles, Rui or Ash saw this map, I afraid you cannot swallowed their comment.
