Total Accumulation Point : 57/65 * 100 = 87.69

[+] - Well distribute resources.
[!] - Could add more neutral passive creep like seal to make it look better. There is very less amount of neutral creep at it currently.
[-] - Dragon drop to many item, max should be 2.
[-] - Dragon Roost only could be access by air unit, AI player effected.
[-] - Dragon Roost not guarded.
[-] - Waterfall flowing direction seems to be mismatch at certain point.
[-] - Sunken ship at the edge of the waterfall.
[-] - Boss creep that guarding Goblin Merchant doesn't drop item.
[-] - Inbalance drop, skeletal marksmen level 3 drop level 5 item.
[-] - 2 fountain of mana, but there is no fountain of health.

Review : A few minor error detected at this map such as the flowing direction of the waterfall. It seems to change direction of where it was flowing all the sudden.

See this screenshot and you would notice it as well.

All neutral structure must be guarded except Tavern, the dragon roost at this map are not guarded. Infact, it only accessible by air unit and this could effect AI player.

Not forget to mention that highest level creep among those creep should drop item (compulsory). But, I notice Frost Revenant did not drop any item at all.

Remain Scorched destructible that been add around the fountain and dragon roost is not a pleasant view for it. In addition, there is 2 fountain of mana but where is fountain of health ? Usually there would be 1 fountain for mana regeneration and another for life regeneration.

This map deserve recommend for his well detail, but not ready to be highly recommend.

This review is neutral.

Well--->THIS COMMENT IS CHANGED CUZ I OVERREACTED...sry Septimus...!

 

[Septimus]

anyway thx---but 1 quest. who even play with AI 1on1?
1fountain of live?????? lol?Sep? that would be realy imbalanced!There are a lot of seals AND EVEN PINGUS etc..!!
Sunken ship at the edge of the waterfall???? AND?LOOK THERE IS A SEA RIGHT FROM THE WATERFALL--SHIP WAS THROWN on the rocks of the waterfall...so? It isnt even a bad point....well terrain??? i think youre not right...Storyline is taken from Blizzard´s storys---bad?
Well i only agree with 1 point---goblin creeps---
Sept. its your first review which i not agree! Exp--the animals and the waterfall

but thank you anyway

Well, if you paid attention to some blizzard map. You would notice those fountain would be

1) 1 fountain of life or 1 fountain of mana only.
3) 1 fountain of life and 1 fountain of mana

Usually there won't be 2 same fountain available in a map such as having 2 fountain of life only or 2 fountain of mana only. Understand what I trying to said ?

And I know some ship been thrown out from the waterfall, but I notice some ship at your map seems to stuck at the top edge of your waterfall without anything such as rock blocking it.

Usually those ship would fall to the bottom of the waterfall, not stay stuck at top of it. View this screenshot carefully, there is no rock blocking it.

From the view of this screenshot, the ship should be consider as collapse to the bottom of the waterfall instead of staying at top of it.

And there is nothing wrong with the storyline, is just seem to be decent to me only.

That is why i give storyline 3 point.

As for critter, yes you do add it. But, it is very less to get notice. Read the suggestion carefully. It written clearly "There is very less amount of neutral creep at it currently."

Updated

 

[Meele_Map_Checker]

well...what should I say: I downloaded it after the update so i didnt found the bugs,which were mentioned by Septimus.
Ive played it and tested it ! Im a good LADDER-Player + so i know A LOt about the meelemaps
seems to be a realy nice one-but i think the idea of the map is bit...average
Creeps are well done;drops too (don´t know how they were in the first version =P ,lucker xD)

Good job in the whole 98/100

 

[Revan(Rom)]

well...I realy have luck that you didnt got the old version xD

 

[eMp-Jee]

"Usually there won't be 2 same fountain available in a map such as having 2 fountain of life only or 2 fountain of mana only. Understand what I trying to said ?"

look the map tranquil paths

 

[Revan(Rom)]

how do you mean that???

 

[Revan(Rom)]

+Rep but i cant rep!^^

 

[Kallimachos]

hmm in my opinion, map is too big for 1n1, opponents have 2 go quite far; also 2 many neutral buildings but well done btw.

p.s. dragon roost not being guarded is ok i think (cuz its stupid if you buy a dragon and kill the creep with it; also AI dont use merc at all)

 

[Epimeliad]

too large as a a quick 1v1 should be... somehow the terrain seem a bit glaring and by adding random crystals doesn't seem to help.

 

[Marak-Zul]

no....that a good map 1v1 is good too =)

 

[Revan(Rom)]

Epimeliad,well post me a screenshot of your terrain...and give me suggestions.Im friendly..so just post me a screen what is wrong and how i could improve that
