Short review:

Pros:

- Works fine, bug and lag free [√]
- Interesting, one gold mine per player, you need to save money a lot [√]

Cons:

- Creeps have no drops at all [X]
- More space above then below [X]
- Creeps are random witch results in strange unit groups [X]
- Boring gameplay, not interesting at all, no NPC buildings [X]
- Bad terrain, too much random dodoads [X]

It is a well low quality melee, that is a [2/5], you need improvements, start from scratch and try to make it better, with terrain and creep improvements. Make it more symetricall aswell.

I must agree and also not agree with bounty hunter2.

Maybe you're right, it has it's individual facination and also not. As far I know, every melee map could not be played only with one gold mine. Haven't seen a map with only one gold mine separated to each player. Bad description.

bounty hunter2 is pretty right. Terrain is bad, you spam destructibles (Trees only) in entire map adding only some piles of treasure to it. That's bad.

Gold mines are not protected by creeps. Also item dropping system is weird. One of worst problem here is that each player has too low amount of trees neaby it's base. You have to move to other cluster of trees. That's unacceptable for me.

Killers of this map are:
- Resource gathering.
- Item drop inbalance.
- Gold mines are not protected.
- Terrain / Doodads art.

Fix these 4 points and my rating will increase because I rate this 1/5. Hope you'll improve your skills.

Well I have seen a Blizzard melee, gold rush or something like that where each player has only 10k gold and well fight to the death.

 

[APproject]

Well in that case you're right.

Yea but you are too, you can look at it in two ways, you can look at it as an interesting way too see who will handle his resources better, or as a boring game with not enough gold.
