The Overview

OVERVIEW

 

[Archian]

Since you make all these melee maps, I recommend you read a Melee Map tutorial or take a look at some of the E-sports maps and hear the commentators discuss the maps and it's oppertunities.

Also, do you know how to mirror a map? It helps balancing the terrain.

Archian wanted to say, that you can select terrain as well as any other object ingame copy it and then paste it again somewhere on the map (or you can increase map size in some direction, rotate copied terrain and paste it again).
Anyway 2/5.

 

[eubz]

Thanks for the info... I'll do that on my next projects...
EDIT
-kobas-, thanks for approving...

This map was too narrow.. i didn't know where to put all of the buildings and my armies often got stuck :s

Hmm, this leads to the question: Why was this map approved?

I'm missing the official approval statement

Well all melee requirements are fulfilled, except maybe that one you mentioned above.
But there is enough room to build main base and small expansion base. Battlefield area is narrow yes, but that can force you to play with air units... Overall rating is lacking even with bad pathing map.

Overall rating is lacking even with bad pathing map.

So according to you, it's okay that Hive's database is filled with maps that are lacking in quality?

Sorry to say this, but this map doesn't seem to meet the requirements for approval. Especially melee maps has to be modified significantly!
A submitted melee map should stand out, have a unique thought behind it, include interesting map features in regards to gameplay strategies, be fully balanced etc.

Yeah I know that but I can't reject map that don't broke site rules or has at least average quality.

Unique maps with interesting gameplay, awesome story, unique terrain still etc etc get recommended or better marks.
For all others that passed site rules and have average quality I just go with low rating and approval.

After all I can't and won't split maps into awesome ones rated 5/5 and rejected ones.

Not bad, not too good either.
