This bundle is marked as approved. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
This is a collaboration between myself and BrookLyn, who did the terrain work.

West side gnolls would be wise not to lurk in the gnoll hood; scout the river's edge instead.

Camp Overview

Brief Notes:

- smaller than all the maps currently in rotation, and less total creep levels (171); everything is closer!

- the very close, weakly guarded merc. camp; unlike any other map, this should encourage new strategies, as well as change existing ones. e.g., merc. rushing, easy merc. accessibility without granting level 2

- tower rush your opponent's base behind the trees! by using canopy trees which occupy 1/4 the area, we made the tree wall shorter, allowing towers to shoot over them

- eat, chop, or destroy your way through trees to the gold mine! by late tier 2/tier 3, players will have chopped an opening to the east/west mines

    It's a melee map. Why do you need a category when it is obviously Medieval/Warcraft (if he added alien models or stuff it wouldn't be melee)?

    Concerning the map, good work, fine terrain, and a really good description. Your idea is cool and the gameplay is balanced. 4.5/5 rounded up to 5/5. Good job.

    Not all melee maps need taverns. I think you should reduce the amount of neutral buildings, I mean it is only two player and there are like 10 buildings.

    So?
    You can't make melee maps have epic terrain really. The 'empty' spaces are for battles and building..

    Lookin' finger lickin' good anyway, 5/5.
