Terrain:

This is an asymmetrical map, meaning it's not a mirror of itself. It has a more naturally developed feel to it. The setting is a large main island with a few smaller islands. There are strategic locations on the map that could prove to be useful intercept or choke points. Throughout testing I've seen some of them (one in particular) used to by a smaller force slaughter a larger force 300 style. Of course you can simply zerg your opponents, but there are uses to the various terrain designs. And due to the massive size of the map you sometimes need to put more thought on how far you go early on, or risk not being able to defend your base in time.

Structures, Units, and Creeps:

There are a significant number of carefully placed creeps and creep camps to fight. This is one of the things I've spent the most time on. Quite a few were placed in such a way as to make it harder to rush early on. Some camps cannot be taken early game. Many creep spawns are randomized, so they may not always be there or they could be a different combination of units. There are also a few fortified creep camps that will take considerable forces to overcome. The maps is at the limits the editor allows both with units and "doodads" (trees, crates, critters, etc). I've tried to provide many options to the players, making use of many of the neutral structures such as the healing spring, Goblin workshop, tavern, or mercenary camp.

I've spent a significant amount of time refining this map. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I've enjoyed making it.
