Hey, have played your map and it is quite good and decent but you have some probems. here is my review:

[+] Good Points:
-Terrain is good but I think it is still a bit flat in its shape, I suggest rase areas with trees and raised a bit mor the grounds. Noise Tool wont do much and might give unwanted results with too much raise or lower. And I think you again miss the basic doodads such as those rocks... well if not disregard this.
-Map has required resources:

• Gold Mines
• Shops

-Player positioning is good.

[-] Bad Points:
-None

[] Suggestions:
-Some minor terran improvements about raising areas with trees and raising a bit more the grounds. Also adding basic doodads.
-Fix the Creep Positioning. Not to near bases and not to near other creeps that makes them go teamwork and kill you....

Overall, decent melee map with good terrain, required resources but has prblems in Creep Positioning. I would rate this 3/5 and Approved still until you do the Creep Positioning. Its quite annoying if you ask me.

Sorry, but I kind of have to disagree with abgm.
Firstly I wonder why did you take the shadowed are away from the borders, it is supposed to show where the pathing ends and stop the camera from showing the edge of the map.
The tile using is pretty random, you should create continuing lines and pay more attention to small details of the tiles and their placement. Also about the terrain, about the ramps you can see there is black holes in the ground (terrain bug, you can evade easily) which is really ugly, you should never leave these in your map. For two reasons: they look ugly and they might cause pathing errors.

As abgm pointed out nice usage of bridges, yes, they are nicely placed however I think you should have gone with the natural bridges not the stone ones. Also the fires around the place looks really ugly and are out of place, remove those. Also you do not use much environmental doodads which is bad for this tileset using map. You should use them more to make it look more natural (tile using is 50% of it). Also I did not understand why abgm said that you use height tool nicely, you have not used it at all which makes the terrain look very flat and the ramps horrible, they are sharp, fix this.

About the gameplay: the map is balanced for both players, however I wonder why creeps has so minor item drops, you should make them better. Also there is hardly any wood on the map or near the starting locations.

Currently I'd say this is very lacking map a lot of small issues that needs improvements.

-Disagree, it is more fun if we think diferent.

i didnt want to be hard, for two reason, one he alredy done, a very similar map Island Rivals and it has been approved with a 3/5
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/island-rivals-235083/
second the template was made by Kobas, i dont like to jugde a map hard where his name is

- i didnt say he used the rice/low tool nicely i said sutil, wich means if you use the wheel or the c letter in the editor you can know it has been used.

1. No matter if some one has various maps approved, it should not affect the rating or moderating or approval of a map.

2. The Map Description template is made by -Kobas- he has nothing to do with the map. And even if -Kobas- would have done the whole map it should not affect the rating neither, every one should be rated similar levels.

3. But the maps ground is flat, I could not find a single spot that he would have used the raise/lower tool.

Tile assortment is so bad (

Bettter

The neutral camp mines have so tiny space,that I can only imagine less than 5 structures would fit inside it.

The creep camps creep formation has a very bad position. I mean,look at those ogres, Why would someone put the smallest in the back?

Screenie still has to be changed

 

[Binsu]

Good that you fix the positions of the creeps. Still 3/5 but Approved!

I would still say that the terrain still flat, Only few areas were raised. I suggest raise more areas and make raising higher.

Because this is Approved in my taste, +4 REP (just gonna spread)!

Also edit that previus review so orcnet will have something to put

Updated! But remember, this melee map is still full of possibilities so improve this mostly the terrain, follow Almia and my idea. Mostly Almia, making tiles smooth are good and gives a good result.

Meele maps,meele maps everywhere
instead of making meele maps why not update your strategy maps
