Texture job is to clean on this one to actually look good. I don't think that man made texture style works on naturalish maps. 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.

Great map! Way to keep up the tradition of making me never want to enter a MotM because I know this is my competition.

Haha, stop making such damn good maps!

The map was kind of aimed to look more manmade than natural, but kind of overrun by nature. Can't please 'em all, I guess ;D

Don't get me wrong - the map is good but you've recently created some better maps (in my opinion :p).

Sorry to disappoint you, my favorite aesthetical work by you is still God's Garden

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.

heh, fair enough, I wanted to do something a little different from God's Garden here (was that the last jungle map I actually finished?)

Well.. .. actually.. said doodads sort of have "fixed" areas/layout potential ...
so, they in fact, draw themselves

Even though there is a destructible tower blocking it, I'm concerned that the Golds are easier to hold than the regular natural third. 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.

That can be replaced by a ramp with a LOS blocker at the bottom and will be exactly the same.

I disagree and like it much better this way. After some thinking, I've decided that this map is really good and well balanced! 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!

Oh my god, from the first view, this map looks amazing. The the pathways, the technical gameplay options, the aesthetics - it blows my mind. I havn't that much time lately to play any games, but I will definately offer some time to test this map. Great job.

This map looks really solid and I can't see a lot wrong with it, but I do think it seems a bit generic. It feels like the same kind of layout most maps have.

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!

Finally someone picks up on the differences I put in
