See my post below!
A great and well-balanced melee map!
5/5 from me.

 

[MrStormyZ]

hmm Good map, Nice Waygate Natural Expansions
Fairly Good amount of creeps which seem to be balanced well,
Nice Mixture of Sunken Runes Tileset with the Ashenvale Doodads
You could add a few more Screenshots and Change the WayGates Color to the Color of the Corresponding one, and the Number of Goldmines in your list
4/5 +rep Vote for Approval

Thanks for the reply and suggestions ;D

You could add a few more Screenshots

Yeah I was thinking about that, but I do not know of what people want to see any suggestions?

Change the WayGates Color to the Color of the Corresponding one

Funny thing is they actually are the picture of the top view is a bit outdated will update it later for now I will put some text telling people though xD.

One question I have is when you played the map did you find it cramped up at all? I am trying to avoid it being completely a turtle style of play map and would like to know your thoughts on unit flow and spacing.

 

[Cweener]

Hmm.
Good terraining.
Good Balancing.
Passable Item drop tables, it wouldn't hurt to make them more in-depth.
Great size for 4 players.
Tons of well-placed creeps.
And No bugs/mishaps.

Easiest approval I've seen in awhile. Superb job.
4.3/5(4) from me.
Put a little bit more effort in the item drop tables though and this could get a 5/5.
Let me know via VM/PM if you do.

{EDIT}
Item tables updated.
5/5, and a very nice job.

 

[XPQJ]

Thanks Cweener

I changed the item drops, now each creep spot's drops are a little different. All are random item of category values but the different creeps have chances of dropping a larger variety of items.

Unprotected Melee map World Edit Reviewing For the Win!

[XPQJ]

very good reviews so far, if anyone sees something that need touching just let me know

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Looks very, very detailed. You obviously put a lot of time into this.

5*

Oh I have to told ya about some problems:
Target acquisition range is normal and that is wrong, only few units have this value set to campaign (200) as it should be.
Another thing are shadows, you forgot to calculate shadows and save map...
Oh few more environment doodads won't hurt!

Can you please fix those things.
Thanks and have a nice day

Thank you, Fixed

you forgot to calculate shadows and save map...

I do not know what this is, if you care to explain how I would love to fix.

Oh few more environment doodads won't hurt!

added more, thanks for the suggestion

 

[-Kobas-]

Below save map and save map as there is option calculate shadows and save map!

 

[XPQJ]

ah, will do, your help is appreciated. So now there will be shadows?

 

[-Kobas-]

Something like that!

Shadows of doodads and cliffs are not generated by the game automatically but are present in a shadow map. This shadow map is not generated by the World Editor automatically either, because it often takes a lot of time to do so.

So before releasing a map save it, then save it again but generating shadows, it might take a while but it is worth it.

 

[XPQJ]

I see, I think I am more aware of the particulars of melee map making now, what kind of maps show Calculate Shadows be used in? I am a newbie to creating maps sorry to impose

 

[-Kobas-]

Simple this option will add shadows to terrain as well, (cliffs for example), because same aren't generated by WE or game. Why, because it take time. Suggestions, add shadows before uploading map!

 

[XPQJ]

Shadows are added thank you

 

[Kam]

Beautiful and balanced.

 

[Blood Raven]

This is a great melle map! Everything looks like real ruins and the placing of the player locations, merchants, gold mines etc are just great, but i dont like the style you maked the overhead overview... Make the picture and the creep camps larger and make the neutral buildings with thier icons... if you can't, you can ask me for doing it, it will look like: (look the attrached thumbnails)
Good job!

Here i maked the overview for you... hope you like it

 

[XPQJ]

thanks bro your the best ;D
i would plus rep u but i did earlier so soon xD

 

[Maximum_Evil]

Looks fantastic!

but it seems there are only small roads to fight on, + it looks kinda busy with all the creeps and neutral buildings.

This map is a simple tile change from the Blizzard map (4)MysticIsles.w3x. It really doesn't deserve a 5/5 due to lack of originality.
Because the original map is not in the Frozen Throne folder, I found an obvious problem - there is no tavern in this map as well.
