Uhh, to be blunt, there's a lot wrong with this map.

- More terrain variations. Most of the beauty in WC3 maps comes from good use of terrain features.
- The sizes of your clusters around the expansions are insane. Make them much MUCH weaker.
- Don't neglect what's out the boundaries (the black area). People can still see what you put there, and it looks crap if there's nothing there.
- Don't have large expanses without trees. Trees are your favourite doodad in Warcraft.
- One type of tree is usually best
- Trees at expansions
- The middle raised area is too square. Make it curved and natural.

In summary: LOOK AT THE MAPS WITH THE GAME!. The maps blizzard gives you with the game are of top-notch quality and essentially you should be looking at what they do.

Sytadel is right. Try to make your map as realistic as possible. In real life you don't have square elevations, so avoid those. :gsmile:

Square looks ugly. Realistic is good. Don't listen to Ouguiya.
