Building space is kind of cramped and there's three openings to the base which makes things a bit worse in some regards and perhaps better in others.
Having the laboratory so near makes it a bit of a cheesy game. Revealing is easily used. Night elves could get a Shredder xD
There's quite a few mines near each other, especially the northern ones which militia and ancients could have an advantage by taking them faster.
Fountains are generally controversial for ladder.
There's few critters for undead to use Rod of Necromancy or Raise Dead on but there's loads of villagers in the south village.
Overall it's quite a nice map with lots of paths. Perhaps it needs some tweaks. You could check out the melee mapping balance guides below.
You might also want to make the description more readable. Check the guides for that as well.
Approved.

- 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.
