those creeps should be out of normal range and not visible as they are in a higher position. also they are 50% ranged

Rui's review on "Nerubian Chill", melee map by Kallimachos

The pack of trees that surround on the player's starting location from the road side is not equal for everyone. This is visible through the minimap. Compare Purple's to those of the others.

I don't like the neutral building placement. I go nuts when I see a red creep spot guarding a Mercenary Camp. These buildings should be placed on the middle. I don't advise putting any buildings where you have the Mercenary Camp, because it's exclusively for Blue and Red, it's in their territory and they can access it more easily. The same goes for the Waygates.

Remove the gates. It does not allow the AI to function correctly.

The creeps were averagely well selected, but I remember the drops being different for all players. That is a critical mistake.

The terrain is not good-looking. Use dirt and rough dirt on the players' bases, too. The ice doesn't compensate it and makes the terrain look boring. Elevation is not noticeable and the jump between cliff levels (ramp) was not changed to look smooth.

A boring map, which works only for 3vs3 at the moment.
My rating is 2/5 (Lacking). The map cannot remain approved if no balance fixes are made. I hereby suggest its [highlight]Rejection[/code] until updated.

bounty hunter2's Review on Nerubian Chill

Nerubian Chill is a six player melee map made by Kallimachos.

The Icecrown tileset is, as Rui told me ingame quite hard to deal with. But still you should have made the terrain better. It really lacks tile variation, aswell as height variation and more dodoads, especially well placed rocks and envirnomental dodoads.

The creeps fit the tileset, but the drops were poor. Actually, the drops themselves weren't that bad, but the same groups dropped different items, and that can cause imbalance. Severe imbalance which is ofcourse bad.

The map is overall symmetrical so in that aspect it is balanced.

The neutral buildings were quite bad. The waygates shouldn't be guarded, and the groups at mercenary camps are way to strong.

Overall, not a good melee, lacking in almost every aspect. 1/5 and Rejection.

If you wish to see this approved, you need a lot more improvements.
