The Black Morass

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
My first map, still working on some of the details.
Nothing special here, just a simple melee map. Might add things later on.
UPDATE:
Added more tiles and doodads for variety
Changed creep placement and added more creeps.
Added some buildings.

Nice start. However, quite minimal and melee breaking. Please read the melee guides below. Also check how a proper melee map description should look like. You'd also want to name your file something like (2)The Black Morass. Simple. If you want...
someone is going to bitch at you for:
1-too much grass (not enought different tiles)
2-terrain is too plain (needs to be bumpy as shit)
3-not enough doodads (you have to put a bunch of shit to make it look more alive)
can't speak about creep camps, neutral buildings and items, have not downloaded the map xD

Thank you for the feed back! I will add a bit more tiles and bump up the land in the next version!

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
