Gilnean Countryside

For melee maps please leave the minimap preview rather than a custom added image.

1. Not sure why this exactly is altered melee. Did you play with the object data?
2. Terrain is flat and in places quite monotonous-one tiled.
3. Not a good idea to have another creep camp in the expansion base, especially one which gives you access to a neutral building like the Goblin Laboratory.
4. Spaces between trees should be avoided as small units like workers, ghouls, footmen or archers can hide or move through there.
5. The middle zone is quite cluttered with things making pathing even worse than it is in the game.
6. Camps are too aggressive. They should have the lowest camp range. Only mine guards should have the highest. Well, in this map's case, the golems at the laboratory too.
7. Neutral hostile units are too repetitive, most groups are made of rogues and bandits.

Simple.

Please read the melee mapping guides to learn about improving your terraining skills as well as getting knowledge of melee balance and stuff.

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.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to upgrade the map, but it may take some time.
