Played this with a friend of mine and it was pretty fun, anything with snow gets my vote. One glaring issue at least for me would be the lack of any camps on player positions, such camps are removed on initialization when a player's starting position occupies the position of the camp.

Makes things weird if you play with less than the intended number of people like a 2v2, as it presents unguarded gold mines. Its a quick fix though and I love the shape of the map, the symmetry is impeccable and its very satisfying to march an army through!

Looking forward to a finished version in which I would give it a 5 i'm sure!

fast look.
-trees gap and doodad gap that I have said before. there should have none of the space between the doodad and trees.
-itemdrop too strong sometime. (mostly the itemdrop isn't right)
-the camp had a lv7 creep but you put an item drop on lv5 creep. Doesn't make any sense. You should not do that.
-camp status anything that isn't the expo guard camp should set to 200 or blue status to avoid the aggro.
-the doodad(decoration object) around the neutral building won't work. it bad to use a path blocker doodad. try the one that didn't block the path and units.
-the no shop. I wouldn't say if this is bad or not but. let say that mostly 99% of competitive map has at least one shop in the map.
-the distance between player base to the expo isn't symmetrical like red need like 9 block, yellow need 8b and teal need 6b to the closet mine(for ffa). but maybe that is possible for a big multiplayer map so I wouldn't have say that it's bad.
-critter choice...
-you should have use more medium armor creep.

+Nice design
+Would be better if the map playable size is smaller.

Hello new melee mapper!
It's always nice to see new people in the melee mapping section. Unfortunately, melee maps have a large amount of "traps" in the details that one needs to be aware of, and you have been caught by a few of them

The following issues are outright bugs that need to be changed:
1. Heroes bought at the tavern can become stuck on the left side of the tavern. Check pathing with "p" and ctrl-"d". In general, as @Zucth has pointed out, there should be not gaps between trees and other doodads. Place trees exclusively with the size 2 circular tool, single clicks so taht new trees align perfectly with existing trees, no holding mouse key and dragging.
2. Creeps that are not guarding gold mines should be set to "camp" in the unit properties.
3. Do not have item drops chances other thatn exactly 100%.
4. One (or more) of the starting positions is placed too close to the gold mine. This will cause the map to not be considered "melee" by the editor, as indicated by "Melee map: No" (the mouseover text of this also shows if there are other reasons) in the bottom right of the editor. As a consquence, the map will always be played on patch 1.07 balance.

More issues that are strongly adived to be fixed/changed:
5. No landbased critters atm.
6. Itemdrops should always follow the "random level X item of class Y" formula. Dont use exactly specified itemdrops, and also dont use itemdrops of unspecified class.
7. The strength of itemdrops should be correlated to the strength of the creepcamp dropping. look at ladder maps as a guideline. For example, a lvl 12 camp (the 3 lvl 4 assassins at the goldmines) should drop something stronger than just a lvl 2 powerup.
8. Strong global weather effects are often considered to be too distracting. Maybe use light snow globally, and add heavier snowfall only in some locations via regions.
9. For 3v3, the amount of creepcamps seems to be relatively low.

Some positives are that the creep camps themselves are good, the layout of the map too, and visually the map looks fine. I also like the varying amount of gold in the mines.
But still, the bugs must be fixed, and some of the other stuff should also be addressed. Map set to Awaiting Update.

Map not updated in a long time. Therefore set to useful/simple.
