Shores of Andora

Another melee map I've made.

Once lord Illidan raised the naga from the deeps Lady Vashj used her magics to raise the city of Andora. Andora was an ancient scientist city that was used for storing powerful magicical demons and spells. If Andoras powers is discovered demons is realesed.

bounty hunter2's Review on Shores of Andora

Rules

Proper description
Proper author name
Doesn't crash
Shores of Andora is yet another melee map made by Grave_Digger_, where you take one of the four melee races and your goal is to kill the rest of the players, alone or with allyes. The map is for four players.

The terrain was very decent. The tilesets were great, they were varied enough and used properly. The dodoads were placed excellent. However the bottom islands have more trees then the upper ones, making it slightly imbalanced.

Talking about balance, the map is kinda symmetrical since there are four islands and four players. Yet as I mentioned two of the islands have more trees. Not just that, but the top islands have a slightly easier acces to the middle island, since it's closer to them.

The creeps used and drops were fine. I just don't like the idea of a creep group dropping two permament items, rather use a tome and a permament, or potion and permament.

The map is fun to play, since the entire concept with ships is entertaining. The middle island can prove to be vital to the conquerors.

To conclude, certanly your best melee, nearing 4/5, still it is 3/5 (Useful) and Approved. Keep up the good work.
