Shadow Fury's review: LINK

---------------
No time to give a thorough review but I can already notice that you put good effort into making this template.

Things that could be fixed are those bright wow trees -tint them down more to make them integrate better.

Also the normal Blizzard trees, please consider removing those, they don't fit.
Better try adding shrubs instead of those.

---------------
Can be useful for cinematic, puzzle, hide and seek type maps.
---------------
Model Bugs: It looks like the wow tree models are unaffected by fog.
It can be fixed with Magos Model Editor by unchecking the Unfogged option in Materials fixing the problem.
---------------

~ Anyway keep up the good work Forsaken ~

Heinvers' review

...Now I feel myself a noob :c

Also please crop the border unused areas for more optimal size.

- the user can just maximize or minimize the map size by himself if he wants to -

Looks great! I like it.

Great template. I really liked how you decorated the world trees and the parts below the water (rarely seen that before). However I found some things I didn't like:

1- Why that snowy part? It's completely useless and just takes up space for nothing (about 40% of the map) and also increases filesize for no reason
2- Looking at the top right corner, I found the cityscape part pretty empty. All those broken archways but nothing between them? Kinda bad I think. You should firstly remove the pathing texture of those archways and add pathing blockers. This will allow you to apply more doodads in between the archways themselves, something you cannot do right now. Some benches, banners, obelisks, runes and such things will surely improve the look of that part
3- The roots of the world trees lack of pathing blockers. My troops can pass through them like ghosts
4- Oh dear, that world tree below the "dam" is overscaled. If this is going to be used for a playable map, that part will be extremely annoying. The camera sight gets blocked by the huge trunk and the red flowers on the trees
5- The fog is too weak. I set the Z End of the fog at 8000 and it was almost the same as the 15000 you set. I'd suggest putting the Z Start to 0 and the Z End in between 5000 - 8000 to create a noticeable fog

Overall I appreciated this map. However, since there are some vital issues that need to be fixed, I'll be giving 3/5 (fix them, and nothing will stop me from giving you 4/5 or even 4.5/5) but I'd still like to vote for APPROVAL!

I cant understand why on earth would you mix high-res trees with the standard ones?
I can understand why you would use either but not both at the same time.

 

[Forsaken]

Thanks all! I just updated the map!

 

[WhiteFang]

absolutely amazing! 5/5

I don't like some of the tiles you used, along with the default bridge. The crystals could use some tinting. However, the Arced Structure Areas look great.
The overall look and environment of the map is good.
