Death's Grasp

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Description:
With winter fast approaching, few forests left for fuel and rampaging undead, this shall be a furious fight indeed. Claim this land fast!

Rumour has it that Draenei Stalkers are on the move.


Details:
This is my first melee map ^_^

It is NOT symetrical, it was never intended to be - each position has advantages and disadvantages

The top right player has little access to trees, but easy access to gold, two places to defend and merchant shops.

The top left player has plenty of trees but limited access to gold, and also has only two entrances, but is in a much more defendable position then the above player.

The bottom left player has average access to trees and gold but has an easily defendable position. (only one true entrance - the other two take a while to get through, and one is through the undead base.

There is in essence a fourth player, the Undead base on the bottom right, all the buildings drop items, and all three players have access to it - to pillage and prosper from it ^_^.

There are two mega creep camps - they drop one of the three glyphs.
There are also the four race flags hidden as item drops ^_^

This map is designed as a FFA

I understand what you are trying to achieve here, however it was pulled out badly. The advantages/disadvantages are just too big. Creeps drop way to much, each has a drop set. The creep choice was bad and random, such as corrupted ancient protectors. The Undead City isn't a good thing aswell. The terrain was done badly, with too much Blizzard cliffs. Use the height tool for making rivers. This certanly can't pass as a melee, rework it a bit and make it an altered melee, for now, Rejected.
