However, if you still insist of another review after it had been review for second time. Feel free to contact other admin.

Review : Well, I am absolutely speechless as the terrain and storyline of this map are well develop. The storyline follow the theme of the map style, rendering it quality to a higher standard.

Infact, you provide every necessary information of this map down to the resources each gold mine have which is good as it could prove to be useful.

In addition, the drop seems to be fair and amount of creep seem to be balance.

I could said this map is flawless and great if you are trying to play melee map with your buddy as you could enjoy it.

Overall, this map could be consider as gold version and deserve a full score for it.

Another 45 point for this map.

Keep up the good work.

I'm not a big fan of melee, but I like this. Good work.

If I've seen a melee map made closest to perfection it is this one.
Keep up the great work. 5/5

Rui's review on Revan(Rom)'s "Hellfire Peninsula" melee map

Balanced map; correct player starting locations and even terrain layout.

The landscape is not very beautiful. There are no doodads except near the neutral buildings. I did not see a lot of textures variation either, nor much elevation.

Creeps choice, placement and drops... well, I like seeing more than 3 units guarding the Goblin Merchant. Plus, a Succubus and two Bloodfiends don't look very good, especially when the item drops from the first.
Overall, the drops seemed alright, though.

I was not pleased with the Goblin Merchants' placement.
Usually players don't attack without a teleporting scroll. If they do in "Hellfire Peninsula", they've got a Merchant to purchase one. I find it a little lame, since it'll also serve only for the players to farm items, if anything. It's so far from their bases that the most likely to happen is that players will forget about them.
Sincerely, this is one of the few maps I think a Goblin Merchant is not necessary. The middle Gold Mines are too heavily guarded for the players to venture around unless, of course, they're planning to attack, which also seems unlikely since this is more of a «creep/counter» type of map, so the Merchant does not fit on the middle either.
The Fountains of Mana were a good addition, they serve as a recovering point. I wonder, however, if merging them into one right into the center of the map wouldn't be a good idea.

The structure of the map is confusing at the moment. My rating is a 3/5 (Useful). I vote for the map to remain Approved.
