Well, visually this definitely is definitely reminiscent of the default 8 player map Rock Quarry..... which however is not originally Blizzard-made: 2003 Multiplayer Map Contest - Liquipedia Warcraft Wiki
In terms of gameplay, the originaly Rock Quarry had multiple stand-out gameplay features which are not present here, such as the outer highground ring, the looooong distances between main bases, the undefended fountains, the absence of taverns, the weird creepcamp location in front of the base, and probably some smaller other stuff. I'd it's good you changed most of that, even though this definitely made the map less unique and it means that beyond looks, both map have very little in common.
Overall, this map is ok. Creeps and items are ok, expanssion and other neutral buildings too. However, too many trees are blocked by rocks. While this is in line with the theme obviously, it is annoying for AoW-creeping and the kotg. For my taste, there are also too many creepcamps that mix too many different creeps, but I guess that's subjective. Other than that, no complaints. Map approved.
