Empire
Created by normalice

Map Info:
A somewhat standard map. Nothing too peculiar here, with the one exception of unguarded fountains of health being close to each starting location.

Features:

There are two natural expansions for each side, lightly guarded. Fast expansions are expected as the starting mine has 10k (each expansion mine has only 8k). There is one heavily guarded mine with 20k as well, in the middle. There is a chance of a rune of the watcher to drop off of one of the creeps in the middle mine.

The creep drops are perhaps a little better than they should be, but the creeps are symmetric so it should balance itself naturally.

The only somewhat quirky thing about this map is the cliff behind each base. There's a ramp up to it that is blocked by trees. Not a big deal as they can be cut through eventually, but on that cliff is a fountain of health. Additionally, the cliff overlooks the entire base and its natural expansions, giving possible defense options (towering) - or offense if you don't cut them down and your enemy gets a zepplin...

There is a goblin observatory in the middle guarded by four golems. Two of the golems have a chance of dropping a rune of the watcher.

Goblin shops at the bottom corners, guarded by yellow creep camps.

tavern (unguarded, of course) in the lower center.


Author's notes:
Not my most creative map, and thus it probably meets more peoples' expectations of a melee map.

"This map is a good piece for a 1v1 matches, the problem I somehow spotted here is the fountain of life next to the main bases, although most of the maps that has fountains are usually guarded by creeps and whatsoever but since this seems different it would be a worthwhile tool for those players who keeps the offensives."

"Terrain looks very monotone and lacks enough detail to make it look like an 'Empire' it would look nice if you can cover it up with details by doodad placing and such."
