Thanks for the comment Demanga
I'm definitely scaling it down, I actually think I need to rebuild from scratch to get all the distances right.
Definitely more doodads coming too, I'll probably make some of my own explicitly for this map if it does well in playtesting. I'm trying to hold back on the art until I've got the scale right though, otherwise you can end up having to redo lots of hard work. I'll try get the new rescaled version posted by the end of the week.
I'll be looking for people to playtest 2v2 with - if you or anyone else is interested, let me know!
If you do end up toning down the size a bit, I would ask Blizzard to add this map to their 2v2 pool! You should add some doodads somewhere though, it's rather bland as it is.
Thanks! Yeah, it is too big, I underestimated the distances when I first made it, so I'm rebuilding it a lot smaller but with the same layout.
Sadly my machine is too slow to support viewing foliage, I think I accidentally added the maximum possible amount of foliage at one point, and I'm not sure how to remove it all... I can't really edit that at this stage - but I'll borrow a more powerful machine to do the more detailed artwork later on.
Also I plan on making it look like more of a coastal jungle than an island, so there will be jungle forest around 1-2 edges, and a sea cliff to the other side.
Love the map design, I think it's a little big at the moment and could do with keeping the design but scaled down. Also there is a little bit too much foliage, I love the foliage, but I would tone it down by about 20%. Other than that truly excellent and I can foresee some excellent 2v2 on this map. A hopeful new developer to be sure.
