Dragonblight

Looks awesome. Im a fan of the theme, it's really cool how you integrated all dragonflights into this map, while still respecting their individual theme and lore I dont know much about the fairness of the layout or anything else along those lines, but it looks pretty stable. 5/5

Please remove the other versions and keep one that is stable.
Since it has modified object data but is designed as a melee map, from now on, such maps will also receive the Altered Melee tag along the Melee one since only having Altered Melee doesn't fit for what it should be, as we don't have a special map tag like some of us wanted years ago, Tweaked Melee or the like.

1. Pretty straightforward map, at least in terms of tower rush, a simple two rally points on the map to get the worker to the enemy while taking care of the base.
2. Mine guards should have higher camp range so that building towers/ancients/burrows near them would trigger them to attack.
3. Sadly, the object data edits pertaining the dragons are pretty much useless and not really gameplay creative or impact worthy.
4. Since there's so many air units, it forces players to mostly focus on ranged terrestrial troops and heroes, air units.
5. Would have been nice to have a mercenary camp selling low level dragons, maybe instead of the Goblin Laboratory that doesn't really have a big use considering the map is small.
6. Fountains in general are quite controversial especially near bases or expansions. Blademasters and Night Elf units/heroes profit from this during invisibility. And this can happen even if there would be guards there.

I'm not really feeling the judges on this one: Hive Cup 2023: Melee Mapping Contest #9 - Results

Calls for restrictive gameplay but nevertheless,
Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• 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.
