Looks cool, but the starting zones for players would be nice to put creeps there too in case less than 24 players in game (wich is very likelly), and it got the same issue as all the other new 24 maps, a lot of space with no units, you could place some more yellow or even green creep camps to fill those gaps, or if you want to keep the idea of big creeps just fill the gaps with red creep camps.

But the idea is great and does look very nice.

Thank you for your feedback fantocan! I added neutral creeps to every starting gold mine, that was a great idea. I also added 8 smaller creep camps around the map. I agree with you that there are a lot of empty areas on the map; however, when there are 24 players, they will almost always be busy fighting each other and getting exp that way. Therefore, I decided not to pack the map with creeps too much, but rather add few strong camps, forcing players to make a decision: fight their enemies, or invest some time into creeping for powerful artifacts.

I like this map concept and I really enjoy playing but I suggest you put some boss fight in different parts of the map or make a space for bosses so that players will enjoy fighting a boss rather than a brainless creeps 4/5

Changes are too minimal to be a good altered melee. I suggest turning this into regular melee but that would mean deleting the south island for balance sake.
Terrain is mostly flat and not really refined.
Doodads partially block path to neutral camps.
There aren't enough trees for non-night elf players.
Camp range has to be highest for those guarding mines to avoid tower exploits.

What altered melee really is:

Deforestation of Felwood v2.1.1
Nightborne v1.04
Planetary Domination v2.04
Sands of Time [v1.9]
The Grand Citadel (Racial Issue 1.6)

Set to Substandard.

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.
