Full Review Emerges

Aside from the comments above; I must say that the map is plain nothing...
Zombies are cluttered everywhere, poor choices of doodads (floating rocks from Outland, seriously?), and terrain is just awkwardly random.

While I can see you're attempting fuse normal melee/skirmish map into a zombie themed. I really like that idea, though you must know that it takes some important things to make a good melee map
Do visit this page and I hope you read that tutorial thing

This is something I worked on the side. If you don't like it, too bad. If your the expert then make it yourself.

Honestly, I thought you'd be grateful someone checked you map who isn't a mod.

Take my advices or not, its up to you. Just keep in mind that most mods here are far strict on reviewing/moderating stuffs. Have a nice day!

This map is something I uploaded because I forgot I even had it. It's a dropped project, and I don't care what happens with it. Not even sure if I bothered protecting the map. I only accept wanted advice, sorry.

Edited: This map was also a stepping stone in learning how to create custom maps. I've used no tutorials so I learned from trial and error.

Edited #2: I was just insulted by the way he "reviewed" my map. I tend to get offended easily, and I'm sorry.

Overview:

Gameplay

"Deadwood" is a melee game that course you and other players to battle it out in a zombie infested map.

"The zombie-apocalyptic theme is a very notable from previous maps and it is widely spread across Epicwar if I can remember correctly I already made reviews with highly detailed forms of such genre during the old days, this one is somehow interesting but to the fact that it keeps spawning a lot it will end up lagging some players that has a low spec of its computer use so probably a handy trigger analysis will do the job for this, also it takes a lot of effort to bail out the zombies and it ended me up defending the base rather than creep out, expand, and the main goal, destroy enemy base. Another problem is the 'Zombie Brute' its normal attack uses the 'Pulverize' ability and has a very long hp which is hard to take out and very irritating to kill when this creep randomly attacks your base." and worse, that very huge abomination boss that is very unstable. I highly suggest you decrease these custom abomination units' stats and reduce the spawning of zombies, also you should try out other zombie characteristics along the way. because last time I check it the game play was fair but to the fast increase of zombie spawns it becomes very repetitive."

Terrain

"Terrain is wide and few on doodads, but the use of barren tress is dependable, my suggestion is if this would be a zombie like state, causing rotting grounds, and decay environment, try using themes as 'Felwood' or 'Dalaran Ruins', that way it can make an atmosphere for zombie decors, another is doodad ruins and so, or anything related to necro-like ideas."

Management

"To conclude, it would be great, but it is unfortunate to those who lack high specs of computer and would cause lags, in this case how about make a trigger that would only limit how many zombies are already in the map ex. 20 zombies spread across map only and make them wander on map so that they won't end up camping in the wrong side of the map, or make a trigger that show a timer that a few zombies will raid your main base in xx seconds and then just splatter a few ones in the map, also the map is not an altered melee mainly because not a single race is been edited so it still melee and just a category survival to not confuse players. and lastly some icon error the attributes part just set it back to its default path since it turns out green. If you can actually add more ideas in the map or so, you can re-upload it and work it here in the Map Development forum, that way many users can help you, I can help you, if your still up to it, good luck and happy map making."
