review

1) I think you should remove those towers and farms if you want your map to fit ladder, also if you destroy those towers and get exp, thats a problem. I mean neutral passive buildings is one thing, and human campaing as neutral passive is other thing.
2) gob labs area are somehow IMO dead ends. hipotethically speaking, red wants to creep the gob lab, blue appears from the waygate to hijack it, no place to run. deadends should always be avoided.

3) another IMO: hipothethically if the blood mage can launch the fire thing murlocks have to go all the way around to reach the footmans, and or it may be also launched from the bridge. I now murlocks in water is the theme, but I would better try maybe something more safe. just to be safe.

4) I feel that orange is to near. I think it would be better a green creep, I also feel that the wall of trees is thin, so I would try to burrow creep it
well burrow creep it would be ok for a green creep.

5) I think the chance of agro is very high, I would increase the playbe size to pull those mines more far, to be safe of agro, so you can walk safe, scout safe,

overall I like the map, I like the enviroment, and I really like the waygates, is an interesting touch

I hope to help

I couldnt find in the objet editor the exp values of killing, but I remember Arthas ROC campaing against elves, and destroying towers and elves farms I think they gave me rep.

Update:
- opened the area a little bit at the goblin lab
- swaped orange and green wolf creepspots
- pushed natural goldmines bag

The neutral buildings dont give any exp, i tried it

1. The problem with those neutral buildings is that they appear as big black dots on the minimap and can confuse/obstruct. Maybe, you could make them not show on the minimap at all editing them in the unit editor.
2. Place the satyr soulstealer in the back so it won't cast mana burn on passing units.
3. You could exploit the murloc camp with ranged units from up the cliff but I guess it's not that much of a deal because it'll take time.

Approved.

The map looks good visually.
But i think the map has too many controversial features.
I'm not against using waygates or bridges, they have potential.
However those feature shouldn't be used anywhere near main areas where combat happens frequently.
Simply because of clunk, which is antithetical to competitive play.

If you have units underneath a waygate your opponent won't be able to target fire that unit.
Bridges have wierd and inaccurate pathing and it's easy for armies to clog up.
Especially the diagonal kind, because WC3 has really awful pathing when it comes to diagonal movement.
I've seen some maps allievate bridge use by adding a shallow water path besides or even using two bridges.
Something to keep in mind at least.
