Okay i would get on that, i don't "exactly" understand about the yellow markings about the middle square, i think i get that it's "perfect" and that's bad... can you explain it more? regards thanks I'll start working.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Perfect cliffs does not look good and unrealistic. Either remove or recreate it again.

I re uploaded it, the map might look same but it is supposed to say 2.0 at the end. I added different terrain so i put different tiles in the same area, it would probably look like crap but i tried, than i put the goldmines in the opposite sides and changed most things opposite side + little bit more trees, i have one problem is that when i changed sides my entrances were blocked by the props i put out so i couldn't really remove them because i saved them at the first version, hope it wont be a game changer. Also near the mountain i lower terrain and the pathy rock way is higher terrain. Hope it's improved and it a good change !

okay, i worked that on my newest version i just uploaded a little, i will try to make it more wild terrain, thanks!

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Fix the author btw.

 

[titans_zealot]

this is kinda lame and sad, but i am new... how do you fix it? because i went to the "edit" and i couldn't find it :/

 

[UndeadImmortal]

It is in the map itself, Scenario -> Map Description then filter out the Author field below.

 

[titans_zealot]

thanks!

 

[titans_zealot]

Okay, I have updated the author and also i think i made the mountain more realistic. If there is anymore changes please let me know so i can improve!

how about videos?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

You need to upload them to youtube first. Then put the video's link between the [youtube][/youtube] tags.

That is right and if you need help with anything else ask me I would be happy to help.

 

[titans_zealot]

I have put out the video, thanks for the tip how to! 1 problem is that its lagy i am sorry but it is watchable, i couldn't make it less laggy, i had also another video but it was even more laggy so i changed it... the one i put out showed the map area's, like the red,gold mines,creeps,starting. Is it good? besides the laggy music and the laggy video.

Description click here to learn how to write description. And please use BB Codes

 

[Legal_Ease]

I'm a big fan of good desriptions but I think a video is better. A melee map needs not real description other than some screenshots and the authors name. I mean really what is there to say. You can count gold mines in the minimap.

Your video is cool but could use some action. Its also all in WE which looks a bit silly. Still +rep for the map and video. I really like videos!

 

[Remixer]

I am going to make a review, can I edit the map for taking a picture, I will not save the map?

 

[titans_zealot]

Yes you can and you can save the map, its fine with me.

Hello there, since your new and all I still can't urge myself to review the bad parts and for you understand to make them the good part:

- The idea of making trees as affordable walls is a problematic matter, on middle games the worker units can end up reaching enemy main bases and vice versa, or worse gets attack by reachable creep camps, I would suggest you block those links by either working on cliffs or water levels, that way you don't have to worry for your worker units and also, you have enough regional space that covers your defense/offence maneuvers.

-all creeps in the map looks scrambled, give them a proper facing value than just randomly dropping them like that, its unnatural and not good looking for a melee adaptation.

-don't give creep camps on Tavern buildings, they are supposed to be free not meant to be raided out.

-The middle part of the map where a dragon roost is placed is suicidal, not just because your forced to hire zeppelins but the supposed drop site is quite small and since the zeppelin's ability to drop units takes time, it would be problematic not too mention, golems are heavy hitters. I suggest you work that mountain give it a natural looks all mountains are not square obviously they are cone shaped. And give it a large bay to drop units and all else.

-terrain is incredibly lacking, not just you placed barren-themed bones across the map you also wrecked the cliffs, gave them mini doodads and such, and unproper placing of all of them, I recommend you to read how to and not to types of tutorials on how to build up doodads properly

-and lastly, tile variations, these are good source of detail giving when you don't do jack on doodads, that road you made looks silly it would be better if that rock road tile you made looks more natural/collapsing type of style rather than that long bad look of it.

Overall map needs huge amount of work, I know you gave yourself time for that video but really you should focus on how it should be implemented properly, not media-based.

If you have some issues and problems, please contact me so we can discuss on how you follow the right path for this, more importantly read my revisions first.
