Map need much work,lot of things need to be changed and fixed...Where are you from Stefan?Stefan is name used in my country...

 

[StefanH2068]

I'm from America. Names here get very mixed; it is easily possible to find an Asian named Pablo.
It would be very helpful if you specified at least one thing that needed to be changed or fixed, so I could change or fix it.

EDIT: Okay people, this map now has 60 downloads and only one non-me comment. If you would so kindly report your opinions, findings, and suggestions, it would be extremely helpful for my development of this map.

Make trees little smaller, players cant see units so good...,make some custom spells for heroes, dont place neutral hostile units so close to players on start (1 neutral unit was in my town and attack my ally units) with outlaws is same case hostile units are to close...,make hot keys for buildings...Continue with work on map,for now 2.5/5

First of all, before I test, there are a few things to underline. You should add hidden tags around changelog text, and instead of only "7 November 2009" you should add a version number.
You said twice that the map is in Betaver.
Crediting Robin Hood for existing (?)
Try not to mention the Orc Demolisher in the description, but somewhere else, just for aesthetics and accesibility.
Crediting VietHoang for telling you to make it (>.< That seems abstract and it's value void, just like the Robin Hood thing mentioned above).
"If you see any reference to someone named "Stefan" in the map, please have the mental power to realize that that is me." (Unnesesary)
Actually, in the description you have a lot of things that could fit into a different category, for example "Features", or "To be fixed"
Why do trees have infinite hit points and an unending gold mine is there for the Nottingham folks?
Maybe add a screenshot.
The aerial image tells me that you use Blizz cliffs a lot. That isn't good.
Also, the terrain (from the aerial image) looks really plain, a couple of lakes, little, if any, texture variation, a height difference with the (probably) flat terrain and a sudden mountain (WOAH WEHR DID IT KOM FROM??) that ends as suddenly as it appears.
My reccomendation is: Kid, get copy-n-pasting terraining tutorials and read 'em.
Oh, and is it just me or are the map edges dirt?

All in all, Stefan, this is my score:
General description: Unlikely to attract people, 22/50
Credits: Solid, 45/50
Map protection: Thanks for telling us, 50/50
Common sense: Preety poor, 9/50
Terrain(Ground): Avarege, 18/50 (Inaccurate!)
Terrain(Water): Above avarege, 37/50 (Highly Innacurate!)
Balancing: Above avarege, 38/50
Texture: Epic fail, 2/50

Result: 221/600, Not really pleasing, expecially with a non-ingame look

Score: 2/5, Improve it.
I go for: Rejected untill approved

Darkgamma, I actually did the texture on the woodland terrain with copy and pasting... Its leaves, vines, and grass all mixed up together. It doesn't show up on the map because they are all "green" textures. I only used Blizz cliffs on the river, the city walls, and the mountains. I made sure to raise and lower many areas of the woodland.
The credits for telling me to make the map are pretty important; I wouldn't have made it otherwise. I decided right before posting the map to ring the map with a dirt cliff for now; to me this seemed better than having a random gaping hole of blackness on the edges. Trees do not quite have an infinite amount of hitpoints, but I will lower them. Gold mines ceased to be infinite after my first update.
What is this "common sense" rating?
I will post screenshot(s) soon.

Sorry Freeze, but player placement, creep placement, and gold mine placement are utterly random. I'll try to fix hotkey problems and try to keep spawning creeps away from buildings and such.

By the way Darkgamma, nice fractal avatar.

Thanx for the avi comment

By common sense I mean: Trees can't get bashed by catapults seems rabid and "fail". The texturing, I gave it Epic Fail for giving it an earth band. You could have used a Lumpy Grass texture, it works better. Also, I said (Inaccurate!), (Highly Inaccurate!).

 

[StefanH2068]

I made the trees have 1000 health now instead of the previous 10000 and also made the river have rolling shores.
I got rid of that random square spiral mountain thing.
I am also still looking for some sort of boundary on the edges that is not a random black hole.
What do you mean by I should have used a Lumpy Grass texture on the edges? The dirt edges are cliffs.
