Y'know, Warcraft-inc, for somebody brave enough to advertise an incomplete, typo-laden site with NOTHING there in their sig, you sure offer a lot of unwarrented advice. ZaCrew didn't ask, "Should I make another tower defense map," so it's not as if the world truly doesn't need another one. ZaCrew: If it'd be something you'd like to play, by all means! If I could make a recommendation, add something that kinda messes around with the players -- a few jumbo sized tornadoes trotting around the map, an active volcano that spits up fire and rocks every so often, something chaotic and amusing. Most of the time, melee maps are just ho-hum "Here's the trees, here's the mine, here's some creeps, now off you go!" exersizes. |

Ahhh thats a really cool idea! Volcanoes AND Tornados! I say do it! You could have earthquakes or hurricanes too! Make it full of environmental things! [excitement]AND YOU COULD HAVE METEORS LANDING ON THE MAP SOMETIMES!!!! AND A METEOR STORM AROUND EVERY 30 MINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU COULD HAVE THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD HIT YOUR UNITS FOR DAMAGE AND PURGE OR SOME OTHER SPELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND RAIN COULD SLOW YOUR TROOPS MOVEMENT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish you could have capitalized caps heh..THIS COULD BE REALLY COOL[/excitement] |

Not really. Melee maps are a very common map style nowadays and blizzard melee maps are much better and detailed. Furthermore, build and destroy games are somewhat boring and very common. However, it would be nice if you make a melee map with diferent game engine(for instance, make new rules and change the gameplay) and some implementations. |

actually i was going to say no don't waste your time on a melee map but now that biflspud just said all that about tornadoes i may go make a melee map with just that. volcanoes and such would be pretty freaking cool. and maybe launch periodic creep attacks. although i will be making this map for just me and a friend cuz i doubt people even play melee maps i might release it here too. sounds fun i'm going to go do it now. |

biflspud hehe u inspired me. as a matter of fact i am making the map now. it is a side project tho so it may not be done in the most timely manner but i will definately keep you updated if you like. if you really want to you can become a beta tester when it releases. |

By all means hook me up, Supra! I'm working on an RPG, so yeah, back burners are all the space I have for new projects myself. If you'd like some help, count me in. :) |

It'd be so cool with a well-made meele map with 'random' events like that... but I guess that'll never happen, as most map-makers realize that the only people that play meele maps in custom games are completely dumb****ed retards... or atleast most of them are. I'm not sayign that all of them are than, but In most of the games I've played... well... all but one really... whenever my opponesnt is about to lose, or even if I should happen to kill his hero 3 minutes into the game they leave. Meele maps have never really been a sucess in custom maps... But, hey! I could be wrong. |

theres alot of melee maps being made by begginer WE. The best one ive played was called, "Blood-Raven Mountains". It had really good terrain jobs done on it and you could get 6 heros per race! Also, the 2nd best melee ive played, (one that my friend made) called Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. He made it exactly like wc2. Only better, ooooo it was so much fun. |

Well, that depends. Myself, I wouldn't really want to see another melee map unless it was VERY VERY well terrained and well done, and even then I probably wouldn't play on it. However, I agree that an Altered Melee would be pretty interesting. |
