Treasure Isles

[deepstrasz]

You can't get items dropped in the water by the turtles. Just don't let them drop items or use some triggers for the items to be automatically moved on one of those small patches of land.

What's with the crazy drawings by the way?

Approved.

Changed the turtle creep camp to a small island with crabs. The water creep camp idea might have been too wacky even for my liking. Though the items always dropped on the shore when I playtested the map.
About the pictures, idk I just had a bit too much time on my hands so I doodled some pirates.

I did give this map a try. I'm pretty underwhelmed by the terrain, even though you might see that as less important. Id still argue it's an area that's not focused on enough for this style of map. The idea with the goldmines is pretty cool, I do like the concept of forcing the player to decide if they're going for early win, or expand their base. Though I still think the layout isn't anything special, it does work well for what it's aiming for.

Rating: 3/5
I've never made a melee map before, but id like to do one soon. It'll be time for other people to judge my work too. I say keep it up, you're only going to get better. I'd say this is a pretty solid map over all.

Hey I also looked at the map finally, though only in the editor. About boats, well, we alked about these before, so you know my opinion . Some other notes:
-During the first year of wc3, there was a map called "Treasure island" which was played in some pro tournaments. It sill still available on epicwar: Treasure Island - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com So the name might not be ideal.
-Unfortunately, my world editor crashes everytime I try to open the object manager for this map.
-Gold coins, I'm not sure why dont see them in other melee maps. When some thing like that is the case, there is often a good reasons; however I dont know any. They fit well into the map/lore of course.
-The sea giants on the islands are not on camp stance, is that intentional?
-I think there are not enough trees near the main bases. Wood income will be slowed down due to increased walking distances, except for nightelves.
-Speaking of which, none of the creepspots look attractive for AoE creeping to me.
-Some of the brown creep camps could drops in tomes.
-THe gold mine creep in the middle will attack trespassing units, but I guess thats hard to avoid given the general layout. Some creeps at the shipyards to the same.
-It is possible to walk around some forests on the outside. There is some minor asymmetry in this respect.

In general, I think you achieved what you intended, and (for a boat map) it is a good map.
edit: Ok that last comment might sound mean. Wasnt intentional. Sorry.

This map is very thematically complete & beautiful and provides additonal perks to those who would use naval transports. Wonder how it'll look with Reforged.
