If you think this map review is not accurate or require another review, feel free to contact Alexis Septimus. But, map would only be review again for second time and also for the last time unless under certain circumstances. It would be selfish to request constantly a mod/admin to keep review your map as there is many other maps waiting for approval as well.

However, if you still insist of another review after it had been review for second time. Feel free to contact other admin.

[-] - Terrain only have Barrens Tree Wall and Fissure.

Review : Ok, melee map require some special attention, thus this review of mine would express how good this melee map is.

For starting, the terrain rather dull. All I ever see is just a barrens landscape with just barrens tree wall and fissure. Try add variety of doodad/destructible for it.

To make this even worst, those creep doesn't even drop item at all and those gold mine with player starting location doesn't been guard by monster at all. If this map not play by 4 player (Full House), then there would be slightly advantage for those who capture the gold mine first.

In addition, placing 2 fountain together with 2 gold mine is a bad idea. This could eventually give player the advantage to have a strong fortress if they manage to build strong defense.

Finally, the storyline/map description look rather dull or no creativity at all. All it ever written is "A big ridge divides this map, There is only two ways across it or a hasty trip to a Goblin Laboratory.", try to be creative by making more interesting description about it just like you are trying to sell something to people. A good description could eventually give you benefict in several aspect as well.

Another -7 point for this map.

You still need to improve on:
Terrain (It's bland and boring... Terraining - Terrain Transitions
Add a decent description to this map, so people know what they're getting for their time
Also, The player at the top's base seemed to anger quite a few angry murlocs. Giving them a significant disadvantage.
