There are (as always in your maps) some very good ideas in it but this one just doesn't have the neat little kick your latest maps had. I think its mostly a matter of opinion. I think tiles fading out looks better too, having hard edges looks good in-game. | ||

 I definitely love the base layout tho and I think the destructible towers are in a nice place and add something special to the map. | ||

 .. actually.. said doodads sort of have "fixed" areas/layout potential ... so, they in fact, draw themselves  on topic: <3 the "proXelnaga", the tileset is Orcs and Humans pure nostalgia, so i'm sold  off topic: + Show Spoiler + the reaver rocks! the "off" topic: + Show Spoiler + Someone give this hero a medal before he vanishes in a regal twirl + Show Spoiler + the  is dead = LONG live the and hope you still keep ALL your pencils sharp! | ||

I'd make the third mid ground and the gold low ground. | ||

Especially given that it look like they're only 7 patches? I'd make the third mid ground and the gold low ground. That will change the map drastically as far as movement goes, look how the golds connect to the center with the LoSBs. | ||

It still looks good, it just doesn't jump out at me as something fresh and new. The visuals are also very nice though. Great work there. Maybe a hiatus will do some good for ya! | ||

The aesthetics are very well too, especially the variation between the different sides of the map. Like, here you have a broken wall, but on this side you have trees, and on the other you have water and rocks, and I forget what the other one was. The variation in doodads, instead of just copying and pasting them four times, is much more pleasing aesthetically. Great job prodiG!
