Rufus Review Map Score Gameplay: 3 / 30 Aesthetics: 3 / 20 Total: 6 / 50 Rating Chart 45-50 5/5 Highly Recommended 35-44 4/5 Recommended 25-34 3/5 Useful 15-24 2/5 Lacking 0-14 1/5 Unacceptable Gameplay Gameplay wouldn't be fair, as all players has very different locations in an asymmetric map, giving them unbalanced expansions and options. For example, red has a fortress up in the north west, with only one exit, while lighblue is in the middle of everything with low protection in almost all directions. The item tables are ok. It doesn't matter much however since they are scattered unevenly over the map. Sadly, this map barely works as a melee map at all. Aesthetics Terrain is very simple. There are few doodads beside the placed trees. The doodads that are placed looks lonely and dull. The tile variation is not very good either as the ground is almost completely covered in one tile in different sections of the map. It looks strange, and not very good. Additionally, you offer advantage to the undead troops as you've added a string of blight through the middle of the map. You should try using the higher / lower tool in the terrain editor as it will make the map look more alive. Right now, the map only contain lizzard cliffs, which is blaced badly, and doesn't look very appealing. You should try experimenting with smaller maps if you want to improve your terraining skills, as huge maps oftenly are hard to make look good. the descrription also needs to be improved, as it is currently unappealing. You should try reading one of the guides to a better description. Bugs By not having edited resources, the map does not have bugs. Summary It is not a bad map, considering it is your first ever world-editor created resource. My first map had flying bridges and a total of 15 doodads, with only one player. I hope you use your knowledge you have recieved crreating this map in a new project. However, This map lacks too much in each field to be approvable. There are many things to fix. Status set to Awaiting Update.
