Silverbell Isle

So, we talked about this in discord before, but for the sake of transparency: I think this is a very good map. Layout, spacing, creeps and itemdrops all work fine. In particular, the central highground expansions appear interesting, even though the potential downside is that this means there are fewer "contested" midgame creepcamps than on other maps.

I also cringe a little inside when I see supposedly cold-blooded creeps in snow/ice environment, but then I always have to think of this:

Some people might complain about the empty corners of the map, so if you too much free time....

The only issue is that currently, one expansion drops a lvl 2 charged item, while the other drops a lvl 2 permanent. But given that this is the only problem, and trusting you will fix this: Map approved.

You need to work on your map names, they're a real mouthful lol.

Map looks cool tho.

Fixed the item drop.

Also re-named it. You were certainly right about the elegance of the map name, Nudl. Too bad "snow drop" is already taken. The new name should be much easier to say out loudly. I'm still open to altering the "isle" part though, it's a bit bland.

I've also taken a general look at the map, now that two months have passed. It seemed to me that the center does not get enough attention – all the neutral buildings are in the corners and nobody wants to engage the red camps until late game. So I've moved some camps around a little and remixed many of them as well, to create more contested spots in the middle area.
