The Crossroads

[Augustus_Magnus]

I believe i cant upload two maps on one day (if so, pls tell ), so probably tomorrow my secund 2v2 map will be uploaded.

There is no limit to how many you can upload each day.

Terrain is not very good, but it is not bad either. Interesting design, that doesn't really allow for more variety in doodads.
An extreme amount of taverns I must say. One or two would have been enough.
There are large areas that allow for epic clashes between the players, and no players have any start position advantage.
I find the placement of the fountains and center gold mines to be a little weird. Creep camps are standing beside rather than in front of them. This could work for goldmines, as they attack if something is built close to it, but for the fountains, players can heal up without ever having to aggro the creeps.
Creep drops are very random.
I personally like that the creeps have grand rewards, but I'm not sure what a regular melee player would think about this.

A working melee map, but not a great one.
Approved.

Thanks for approving, creep drops might be fixed. About the taverns: were in a medieval city, what a medieval city without beer . Sure this isn't the best map, but i can't think of a way to get it better. If anyone has idea's, feel free to leave them in the comment room .

-terrain height (=/=cliffs) be nice in some grassy places that are not near a road
-the fountain of health is nearer to the western players and the mana one to the eastern combatants
-marketplaces generate random items so some players will be near to one of the marketplaces with its own random generated items; for instance marketplaces might also generate the same item be it at the same time or at a different one (the second item was for both Mask of Death; the third for both was Crown of Kings)
-there are too many taverns; 2 would be enough methinks

Roughly 3/5.

Maybe i'll see if i can fix this, but mainly i want to get my 2 player map "the river connection" approved, so i'm focusing on that. Thanks for the feedback tho, i appriciate it.

It's important people don't forget about Warcraft III melee so, thank you for taking the time to create these maps.

Very uniform and elaborate map. The use of doodads is appropriate as well.
I can see you making pretty much effort on placing doodads
However, I found the tavern to be somehow unreachable for the 1st hero selection, blocked by the creeps. Was it intentional?

Well, you can reach it by the bridges. Maybe it's a bit far away.

There are currently two routes but each are blocked; one by murlocs and the other by rogues. Also, there should be a clean way without creeps that connects each starting points to allow wisp scouting at the very early game. The map is currently in a state in which both 1st neutral hero selection and scouting are blocked by the creeps. I may be able to pass them, but I will have to monitor to avoid engaging them. Host the map and send wisps to each starting base and tavern by on the mini map. Unreachable.



Here are tips for you :

1) Key routes i.e) routes that lead to taverns or that connect starting bases should not be blocked by creeps

2) No neutral buildings should outnumber players. The number of taverns allowed for a 4-player map is maximum 4. However, gold mines are of exception.



And if I were you I would...

1) Remove some trees and place creeps there so that key routes remain unblocked.
2) Weaken center expansion creeps to facilitate expansion and leave fountain creeps as they are. I find the creeps to be too harsh for a 2 vs 2 game. Players will have to take great risks for an expansion.

Okay, i cant tell for sure when ill fix it, but it will be done.
