Downloading so I can give you the full review.

Review:
Reduce goldmines to eight, one main and the other one expansion for each player. Grasses are scattered in some places and somewhat placed randomly. I have not seen any neutral units to spice the map. No weather effect and such. Four taverns for a 4-playered map is too much, reduce that to one. For item drops, it is better if you used custom item table rather than the item table from map.
For now, this map needs improvement and should be updated for good.

Presentation
Score: 75/100.The presentation is done nicely using kobas' template.
Terrain
Score: 60/100.You used variation of tiles, The terrain has slopes, this gives you a plus yet there are minor flaws like the waters near the taverns. Grasses and flowers are randomly placed which I do think not that good to look at. Still, I couldn't see any neutral units to make your map lively.
Gameplay
.1. Using too many goldmines is not really a good idea. But giving them smaller amounts is acceptable.
2.
You don't actually just think of one design for your map when you upload it publicly. You have to think of other posibilities and usefulness of your map to others who would like to play your map in other strategies aside from being FFA.
3. Four taverns are close to each other which is better if you just reduce it to one unless you place them near the base camp of each player. This is not actually ideal for a 4-player map to have 4 taverns. Your reason is clear to me but as I have said, the taverns are very close.
4. The use of item table is acceptable.
Score: 55/100
Taverns can be placed near to base camps of each player or reduce them to one.
Add neutral units to make your map lively.
You might want to use terrain fog, global weather, and custom sound environment.
Final Score: 63.333/100
