Temple Of The Four Elements

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Map Description:
It is rumored that a powerful demon, once a night elf, Illidan has set foot here, on the Temple Of Four Elements - Fire, Ice, Lightning and Air. Before leaving this temple,destroyed, Illidan left ancient tomes which grants ultimate power to those who gets them. The whereabouts of the sacred tomes can be traced to by following his demonic footprints. The temple is also known to have endless precious resources.

Disadvantages of this map:
- Very limited space
- Dense creeps at the middle
- Very hard to end/win game early

Advantages of this map:
- Maximum amount of gold
- Lots of trees
- Dense creeps at the middle to prevent early game-ending. ( I want it to be long and epic battle)
- Easy to defend - Small entrance to each base and can only reach to opponent's base by air (which also may be a difficult problem on some cases) (*Note* This may also be listed at the disadvantages section. (For Opponents) )

Aim:
Makes the map an ultimate battle, by making players create massive troops to conquer opponents and take over the temple by defeating the guardians of the temple.

Recommendation:
- Experienced melee map players due to limited space (newcomers are welcomed as well)
- Those who like easy-to-defend maps

Credits for using terrains, doodads, units and so on goes to Blizzard.

The map is really bad. The terrain is good only in the middle. In rest of the map it`s... empty. You placed creeps in bad places, you have placed very small number of them and you have placed them in imbalanced groups (especially in the middle). There are only 4 gold mines (1 per player only). The map is very small like for a map for 4 players.

Overall the map gets 1/5 from me (mostly because of the imbalance of it) and I vote for rejection.

I'll give you aces for the good description... but this is one of the worst Melee maps i've seen.

First off, there's barely any room. YOu start building yoru base and the center pawn creeps attack you... which sucks. Very, very poor terrain, and those waterfalls are, no offence, shit.

Also, change the Dragon Roost. A green roost being guarded by Red Dragons?


Spelling time....

Nonono. That should be this:

See? You put too many comma's, and screwed up a few words and scentances. Sorry, but 1/5 is this maps score.
 
Here's my review:

Bad points:
Tiny map size for four.
Bad terrain.
Not enough gold mines.
Tomes get you to level three with no creep kills.
Uber-strong creeps in centre.
What's with the green roost?
Mass flyers can devestate players. Easy to defend hay?
No category.

Good Points:
Really good description for a melee game.
Good idea but it ended up bad.


Suggestions:
Get rid of tomes and replace with neutral buildings and creeps. Remove uber-strong centre creeps. Add more gold mines and increase map size.

Overall:
An idea/plan with good intentions that ended up bad. Keep trying and soon your map will be perfect. 1.5/5 rounded up to 2/5.

PS.
