I will check this asap. Please use [hid"den"="text"] [/hidden] tags for old updates. Without ".

EDIT:

Here is my rating and comment:

1 - 10 points go on originality
1 - 10 points go on object editor work
1 - 10 points go on scripting
1 - 10 points go on terrain
1 - 10 points go on bug free
1 - 10 points go on gameplay*/fun factor
1 - 10 points go on lag
1 - 10 points go on proper submission and crediting
-------------------------------------------------
->That equals 80 points max.
-------------------------------------------------
+ Cinematic
1 - 10 points on camera work
1 - 10 points on dialog
1 - 10 points on music and or voice acting
- Cinematic
Object editor work
* Not in cinematic
-------------------------------------------------
That equals 100 points max.
To get a Hive grade over 1/5 at least 50% of the 80 (Triggered map) or of the 100 (Cinematic map) points is needed. That means at least 40 or 50 points. However if a map gets rated over 1/5 by me, that doesn't mean that I will imidietly vote it to be approved.

Originality: 7 points
Original concept for the terrain and the lanes. It takes some time to get used to it but is was neatly done. The factions are somewhat not so original.

Object editor work: 8 points
Working hotkeys, good, solid descriptions. No grammatic and spelling issues.

Scripting: 7 points
No special systems, but everything seemed to work fine. I didn't bother looking in the triggers. I would suggest lowering the multiboard size, it is too darn big.

Terrain: 5 points
I didn't expect it to be good, but it was actually pretty fine. However there is much more room for improvement.

Bug Free: 8 points
Beside the fact that one of the towers, the Night Elf tower (for heroes) is showed as a neutral building on the minimap it is fine.

Gameplay/Fun Factor: 6 points
Good things:
- Numerous options as there are a lot of paths and four bases
Bad things:
- Big map = slow gameplay, yes there is the teleport option but it is just big
- The four factions are to unoriginal, and Horde and the Scourge are basicly the same I think, I mean scourge goes under the Horde and Sentinel and Alliance dunno, don't the sentinels go under alliance?
-

Lag: 5 points
You have stated you had no problems with it. However I had a lot of ingame lag all the time, but the loading time was fine. I run a slow old computer but anyway thats a hell lot of lag.

Proper submission and crediting: 4 points
You should use [hidden][/hidden] for old updates text and put images not just a bunch of text.

In overall: 50 / 80
62%
minimal 50% met.
For the hive grade: 3/5 I suggest this map for: Approval
+rep
-------------------------------------------------
In overall it is a fine map with not much revolutionary things but an interesting approach to an AoS I haven't seen much before. You implemented it good in the map. What could you improve further more?

- Terrain - More variety, maybe a different terrain type for each of the factions part
- Submision - Use tags
- Gameplay - More scripted spells
- Factions - more original factions

Anyway as I said a good map and a good job. Usually my rating goes like this:
0 - 49% = 1/5
49 - 64% = 2/5
65 - 79% = 3/5
80 - 89% = 4/5
90 - 100% = 5/5
As you can see you should got a 2, but the map was very good and deserves a 3 for sure.

Good Luck, bounty hunter2
I might not be checking this topic for some time. If you have any questions about the review or you update the map and want me to check it again, feel free to PM me or Visitor message me at any time.
