Rui: "Forsaken Swamp" is a 1 versus 1 player melee map, and is very well shaped. Certainly a map solo players should try out.
My review is found at [self=http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=106038#post897168]post #3[/self]. Approved with a rating of 17/20 (4.25)!

Septimus : I set a hidden tag for those screenshot, user with slow internet line would have trouble to view this thread.

It's a balanced league-type melee map, like a mix of Terenas Stand and Secret Valley.
Enjoy.

4.5/5
Just as a suggestion the terraining is very good but try to make the overall map feel more natural. Almost all the shops and mines are in a square along the sides, not in a more natural rounded formation

"Forsaken Swamp" is a 1 vs 1 (solo) player melee map. This map was certainly well shaped, with good starting locations and well-distributed resources, and no holes on the trees. The creeps were well chosen and dropped balanced items, something that most of the melee maps around here lack. You even provided screenshots aiming for the Blizzard-style image of the melee map, but while they were a good idea, I would have left the effects off the others, seeing as this is a melee map – the drawing-effect does not fit. Since they are only an attachment, I will not downgrade the map because of this. The only two things to point the finger at in-game are the ground texture variation and the elevation: the first is random, and even though it looks natural somehow, most textures don't combine.

Together with the somewhat-poor elevation, the map looses its natural feeling.

My rating for this map is 17/20, approximately 4 (Recommended).

Very cool meelemap (i like meelemaps most, and i make meelemaps too)
It is very cool, reminds me on Secret Valley cuz of the middle! The terrain is reay good.
Everything fine,but you should low down the rocks to hide those bad textures under the earth,use CTRL+Pic Down (the button with the arrow down upper block from the arrows) however its in english)

Thanks a lot for the reviews guys!
I'll rework this map a bit (based on your suggestions), and hopefully, it will be almost perfect!
Cheers.
