This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Warmed by a holy light
The pines are evergreen.
Rare flowers, daily new.
I wanted to make a map with a focus on fun-to-play. My idea was to create a smallish map with rich loot drops. On Dortmund Hills, you can
1) expand easily
2) hire dragons
3) pick up summon tokens, and artifact items like blink dagger
4) hire Lordaeron Fall mercenaries.
I think RNG for items drops will affect games. But I hope I found a balance that is acceptably fun.

I added some thanks.
I personally feel that it's hard to discern things from a whole-map image... maybe because my monitor is small.

whole map is still better than having to look at the shitty low resolution warcraft 3 minimap.
wish blizzard would implement higher resolution minimap.
but can't even post in the forum, I'm banned till 3022 xD

Little building space.
Kind of few starting trees.
Expansion very close to the starting point. Easy to get by night elves and especially humans.
The fountain of health is also quite near the main base and even closer to the expansion which would make night elves/cloak of shadow heroes benefit during the night.
The dragon guards are too far from the roost as one could train/buy the drakes without needing to fight the black ones.
Can buy from behind the shop and also attack the trolls from there.
Plenty of bottlenecks and narrow zones.
Not really melee or at least ladder friendly.
Decent.

- 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.
