The 'green doodads' has been edited into a more "desolated color" to fit with the theme of the map


Features:

The map is for now only Melee with only as altered, the aspectics : for now
A few skins have been imported for the bandits creeps, with their proper icons

Author's notes:

If you want to play this map as melee, I sugest you download it now
Future changes will only be altered melee changes

Remove the Altered Melee tag even if the melee status is lost in the editor. This has little to do with what Altered Melee actually means. Oh... you've changed unit models too. I suggest resetting all object data apart from the doodads. Trees on that...
Woah!
That is a really good-looking melee map! Creative use of warcraft assets.
Really atmospheric. THe creep camps are somewhat weak, but has rewards that fit them. The map layout is fair, and can allow for an interesting 1v1.

I'm gonna edit the map with BB code soon
Ye, get working on that description. :D After that, I'd vote for approval.

My only complaint is that it's not technically an 'altered melee' :P I mean, by definition it is melee, but it is an altered melee map. I guess it's up to the moderators :P
I just find an issue with being both melee and altered melee, personally

It is for now only Melee gamewise but also Altered Melee due to Editor changes (Doodads / Destructibles / Tiles)
It is also Altered because of skins I've imported, look at this screenshot even if it's not glorious : https://www.hiveworkshop.com/data/ratory-images/129/129318-66f5772d791fce59b430aee709156040.jpg
It will properly be an Altered Melee when I'll add the 2 creeps camps I'm planning to add, with a new model, new items etc ....
And I will also add new heroes later on

I have for now only uploaded map for Maxwell
Everything will become clear once it got a proper description :P

Map Description edited !
Thumbnail for the win

Tell me what you think of it and what I should improve :P

Trees on that cobblestone like tile look weird.
But this is an edit of an original map. I suggest you actually turn this into a serious Altered Melee or use the terrain idea to create your map from scratch.

Set to Substandard.
