Feedback to Equalrium:

Good:

-nice style
-not much gold in the mines
-creeps and item drops

Bad:

-not enough trees
-natural creep to easy

Overall:

Really nice map, looking forward to play on this map unglued games. Nice work for your first map.

Sorry for the short responds, but I am on my phone.

Thank you for the reply QQs.

Regarding the points to improve. Some have said that there is not enough wood in the main base, but it should have as much as Market Square. You also have more wood in your natural expansion and a litte bit more in the 8 gold mines around the center. Now, considering that the map may be used for FML games, there there will be plenty of wood since only 4 players will play on it, rather than 8 way as it happens in the playffat bot; furthermore, the amount of wood each player gets in their starting spawn is more than enough for you to have a balanced ratio of gold and lumber.

One of the biggest complaints about Market Square is its lack of wood though. I dunno if thats really a great comparison!

Cozy sands is one of the best maps submitted by far. It looks nice, it feels nice, it seems fair and balanced for a four way. I'm looking forward testing it out with FML players this week ;)

Purity is amazing little 4 way map. Just perfect looking and shaped. The only 2 things I dislike about that map is:

1. It has those corner cliffs u can place towers
2. Its like 154th "little 4 way" map in the contest

We lack of uniqe maps no matter 4 or 8 ways, like deathrose for example, its 4 way but big and has its own specifics. I would love to see more difference between contest maps although I didnt play all the maps yet.

The second problem, size, would it be better if I widen main pathways?
I can give you a solution for the first problem.

Thank you for your feedback!

I dont know! Im just a user, I see a lot of similar 4 way maps in the contest, I dont have a solution or talent to make something different and unique.
Only giving my opinion. Sorry!

a Very creative map! Like how you chose green water and I especially like the layout!

Few things I would like to point out are

1.Red creeps at central are aggroed when troops pass by (Left side is fine but the other two)
-creeps at mercenaries may get aggroed too.

2. I like how you experimented with various type of creeps, but I think they need more consistency.

3. What about you consider some stronger creeps? The current highest level creep is only 6!

Thanks for the response!! I think you're the first one to really give me some constructive advice on it so this is good. :)

1. I'll look into that and fix it for the next version!

2. Well, the idea was that the closer you get to the poison well, the more corrupted the creeps became. I'm not sure how well that came off in the implementation though! The main base red creeps are bad though and totally dont fit... I'll fix that!

3. I wanted to keep the items from being too crazy so I kept the creeps on the lower level side. However, I think the middle red's are a bit too easy as is so I might bump them up a bit! (Also, Ogre Lord on the main is a 7)

Thanks!! <3
