"Rise of the Creeps" is a Altered Melee map for a 4 player match with the addition of different map style.
"With new races to play as well as working AI I like the idea and game it gives more newer background but somehow the orc units that are used as creep camps seems odd if you can rewarp the whole characteristics of each unit as a example of removing the upgrade icons and show its creep level that would be great."
Terrain
"Terrain is a beauty no much problem looking at it but about those elf gates, they don't match up maybe the dungeon or giant dalaran ruin gate would suffice."
Management
"To my conclusion this is a good and new piece to be played, I'm not sure why you shown an in-game text about the gates are about to get destroyed even though I can destroy it myself, how about turn those gates invulnerable before the timer ends."
You know what? The map is actually equal or better to the 3v3 map I reviewed. Terrain
looks a little better than 3v3 and has no connection problems. Only one thing, if someone successfully rushes into the enemy base, there is a high chance to wipe out a large amount of the base in the first 5 minutes.
