(4) Lost Temple - Added more shallow water to the islands. Center creep camp is a bit harder. Added Ogre Magi to the corner Ogre creep camps.




(6) Moonglade - Reduced all creep camps approximately 2 levels.




(8) The Crucible - All start locations should now be very similar, close to trees with enough room to build. All Goblin Merchant creep camps are now farther off the main path.




(10) Dustwallow Keys - Fixed the choke point in the bottom left. Moved Razormane creeps off the main paths.




(12) Ice Crown - Fixed the creep levels so that all camps are equal.
