Very plain map. And you dont need monster camps on the bases on a 1 v 1 map. Thats all i can say.

If you want, you can read here for further info on how to create melee maps better.

Eldubs - Yea I thought it was kind of dull too, wasn't really sure what more to add so I thought it was done. I know I don't need them but I find it good practice for if I do maps with more players.

eubz - do you have anything specific I should change? I'll read the thing later, thanks for that.

Add different kinds of doodads. Velocity to the map.

 

[xHalfDeadx]

You can't really see it from the screen shot but there's actually quite a few doodads in the map. I can upload some in-game screenshots give me a few.

EDIT: New screenshots at the top of the page.

This is a very simple melee map for it to be on the map dev section, mostly melee map doesn't need to be show until its release.

EDIT:

Well here is a review for you to work on.

GOOD:

• The map layout is symmetric.
• Enough resources for a 1v1 map.
• Good item drops.

BAD:

• A level 30 pack defending a goldmine is a no no.
• Neutral creeps are just to OP.
• Terrain just feel really empty.
• Unbalance creep camp.

SUGGESTION:

• Use more tile variation.
• Remove the units on the starting position, its not needed for a 1v1 melee map.
• Add more enviro doodads.
• Instead of mercenary camp, why don't you place a shop there?

Thanks for the feedback man, I fixed most of the things you said, plus some more (see top post.) I also added some screen shots.
