There's a 48 hour rule about bumping threads.

However I took a look at your map.

I'm not the greatest terrainer myself, but I can say it was quite bad. It's almost completely flat, tile variation is bad, doodad placement wasn't good, try to avoid Blizzard cliffs. Use raise/lower terrain tool instead. Some units/doodads are hovering in the air.

I think you need to improve your terraining skills, and then start the map from scratch.

Just practise terraining. Create hills, ponds, waterfalls, shrines and places like that. Look for inspiration from some terrain showcase threads. Learn to place doodads, how to use tile variation and generate height variation.

Practise a couple of weeks, and then have a look at your map again. I'm sure you've gotten a bit better by that time, and you can see how your current map is lacking.

Sure, you don't have to start from scratch...but in my opinion you should since what you have now won't be great or awesome. Just practise a bit before resuming this project.
