While there's plenty of wood for non-night elves, the building paths are quite exposed to the enemy. Shredders and Reveal are comfortably near. One expansion too which is quite thinly guarded. Medium armour is easily penetrated by Militia, Ancients or...
Same guess that this is for Mr.Light ATR upcoming new ss tourny. This map look pretty interesting. You have all 3 (early expo, shop, merc) in the middle and the spot is perfect executed. This map remind me of Tenshi layout style a lot.
.
If it me I would chew lab and water camp next to lab off.
I would put second expo between lv15 expo and marketplace to chim the map size down.
Currently FoH position feel off. It's right in the open not too far from important part(aka between 2 expo.) Which could make the game take even longer than expect once exceed ~14 minutes. Jump to 27 minutes or close to that numbers. Those 2 expo would turn into a fortress turn the game into old EI who hold the longest, mines out first.
 
  1. While there's plenty of wood for non-night elves, the building paths are quite exposed to the enemy.
  2. Shredders and Reveal are comfortably near. One expansion too which is quite thinly guarded. Medium armour is easily penetrated by Militia, Ancients or Grunts, Footmen and Ghouls while Archers won't do it that easily.
  3. One can buy from the marketplace, right near the edge of the cliff.
  4. I suggest having a skeleton or some other undead/golem protect the fountain so you won't be able to go at night from the near expansion and have your bath easily. Revenants, although undead sleep. I guess some undead are really not restless.
Terrain is quite lush, good job.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
