Frostfire Ridge

1. There's spaces between trees through which workers and small unit such as ghouls, footmen, archers can hide or go through.
2. While it's good that there's more entryways to the bases, ramps are controversial in that you can block them with farms or towers so unbuildable tiles are recommended there.
3. There's also some visually bugged ramps.
4. Terrain is not entirely flat but has a tad chaotic design as it doesn't try to feel natural.
5. Dragon Roosts (due to the tenth level dragons) and fountains are controversial especially if more than 1.
6. The distance between players is quite thin and without peril, workers for tower rush and even troop rush being a sloppy tactic to be easily used making the game less fun.
7. There are also plenty of narrow parts where troops might get locked or make the gameplay annoying due to the game's pathing system.

Please see the melee mapping guides for both strategy and terraining info below.

Simple.

• 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.

Thanks for the review! To be honest, I didn't play or test it enough. It was a map I made a long time ago, and I think it was rushed. I have many others in the works; I'll see if I have time to update it with the adjustments you mentioned.
