The Cold River

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Another 1v1 map by me. Terrain might have some problems, because i made it in hurry. I got this map idea from a map called Borderlands.
This map has 6 green creep camps, 0 orange creep camps and 1 red creep camp.
A war has started in at the cold river. Who will finally rule this small island? Will it be you or your enemy?

Good:
-It's Functional
-I like the concept.

Bad:
-Lacks a Map Description http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/map-description-templates-171659/
-Should have better terrain (I know you said you rushed it, I'm just sayin' :p)
-Should use multiple trees
-Should have mixed up the tile, make it seem
like an actual rural plain covered in snow.
-Terrain is flat

Take your time on these small maps, It's not that much work constructing a regular melee map. You can do better!
 
Terrain might have some problems, because i made it in hurry.
That already says all.

Nothing special, map looks very boring, lack of doodads, terrain can be improved a lot.

Next time, better take time you need before you upload a ressource.

I quote from map submission rules:
(WIP) maps are not allowed, the map needs to be a complete release.
A certain amount of quality is required, the gameplay needs to be somewhat fun, the terrain must not be lacking and a bit of originality should be present.
You can read it up in my signature.

Very cheap melee map! These are the reasons:-

- Too much flat terrain and the raisings you've done are not even smooth
- Badly used tile variation
- Lack of doodads


SUGGESTIONS:-
- Read a lot of tutorials about terraining
- You might consider posting your maps in the Map Development Section
- Next time, make a larger map because small maps tend to be boring


OVERALL RESULT:-
To conclude, this is a very poor melee map which can be done in a few minutes by anyone. I'm sorry, but I can't give this more than 1/5 and I am forced to vote for REJECTION!

Too paced and symmetric melee design:

-Bridge is too near, means main player bases are very close to each other, early air unit raid can win the game.
-Player Blue's region has more space than Player Red, couldn't you just clone it?
-creep camps are so few, no neutral building except for expansions

For now it looks fine for practice, but not the real deal.
