Moderator: StoPCampinGn00b version (none stated) Golems in the Mist [Altered] by Lightlord24x & Darklord24 REVIEW Golems in the Mist as stated in the description is a four player melee map created by blizzard, but it has been altered significantly for this map to be considered to be altered melee. No new races are to be found in this map, but there is a list of features that players favoring a more strategic style of gameplay (fight for the middle) would find appealing, even if the heroes in this map would turn out to be stronger.​ FEEDBACK Gameplay: The gameplay comes of easier to learn than other altered melee maps due to no major changes to the races as a whole. The multi-board is also easy to learn. Thankfully, you can minimize it as it's much better than what players may expect. Units such as abominations, knights, mountain giants, and tauren costing less food is an odd choice sacrificing balance, but all of those units aren't extremely overpowered against another. What could be concerning is that Frost Wyrm's and Chimera's costing two food. That, I can call unfair to human and orc players. Having one hero isn't something we haven't seen before. It limits the strategy in more countering. Despite them to be able to level up to such high levels, it takes an army to fight for the middle to help heroes succeed along with resource control. The AI functions the way it would in a melee map. I could still beat normal. Yes, it was tougher since it takes less time to gain EXP for AI players, but it wasn't too much of a challenge. Overall, the layout of the map is balanced but frost wyrms and chimeras are things to look out for. ​ Visuals: The map does actually look better with the custom grass texture. You could faintly see the square lines on the tiles, but this does not bother me at all. The doodad placement was average and the weather you set the map to actually doesn't look overdone. ​ Miscellaneous: It would be nice to change your title of your map to have altered in it. ​ VERDICT Map approved with a 3/5 rating. A changelog and quest log aren't necessary, but I highly recommend you add them for informative purposes. ​ FAQ [COLOR=white Map Making Related [COLOR=white [COLOR=white ] How can I get my map approved?

It's absolutely not overpowered, i`ve played with some of my friends 3v4 against (insane) bots and it was very easy.

I`m actually considering to even increase the difficulty or remake the AI because for me just seems to easy

 

[Zaramorus]

How are they not overpowered? They have 200 food and 4x faster xp, but i want those advantages , because i can barely even beat Computer Easy on a blizzard map.

i can barely even beat Computer Easy on a blizzard map.
