This map is attempt to continue that map. I am new author - Velociraptor has given me open-source.
AoS style-map with very,very many items and heroes. You can launch unlimited computer bots with -b and -c commands in single-player mode.
You know about MUGEN fighting engine? Which creates 2D Characters from all fightings in only one game? So Battle for Souls - attempt to create MUGEN in the world WarCraft III, for AoS-Style maps, and not only. All games in only one game. And you can change it, as you want.
You can always find OPEN-SOURCE version of that very big map on official site. But I CAN'T now help with any problems with open or save Open-Source, because don't know how.
Story
The bloody fight of Darkness and Light does not stop never. She goes always - even in your own souls. Choose, on which side are you?
You are true adept of Light? You know, what is angry also of gloom should be always punished? You know, what higher of all are friendship, trust, love and kindness? You understand, what any meanness early or late will reveal? What secret always becomes obvious and there is nothing the more dearly present friends and liked, against which always it is possible to lean? What the most important treasures - kind heart and pure conscience?
Or you are warrior of Darkness? You agree that Light adepts are stupids and fools? What for trust always pay in a deceit? What the present friends no, and all is done only for the sake of personal benefit? What there is no love, and there are only corporal instincts multiplied by vanity and complacency? What main are personal self-perfection? What strong is always right? What for one million gold coins any in a convenient situation throws the knife in a back to the one whom yesterday named by the friend?
You have made this choice? Now you should battle for YOUR SIDE!
All warriors of the opposite party must DIE! Choose YOUR way to victory.

How to Pick Secret Alternate Avatars?
I think i can talk about it now. To pick most of secret alternate avatars, just learn Self-Perfection on one level (you can learn other abilities after changing an avatar) and click on "Change Skin" near Circle. Your avatar will change on secret alternate avatar instead of usually alternate avatar. You can change avatar back to default hero just with activating that ability again. If hero has more than two alternate avatars (more than one secret), other secret alternate avatars will be picked with other specific conditions, try to found them! :)

But the triggers can be made better, I know it now. And it will be in the new versions.
Also, you can download and change Open-Source now, if you want it.
Raiden, i think about new terrain, but it's hard for me. I am afraid to make terrain worse than current. With import terrains from other creators also was problems. Maybe, if i create beta with new land, i shall lay out link here, for the choose.
On old snow terrain no one wanted to battle on "long" line, all goes to fight on "short". Not very good, too ^^ But you can still download old versions on epicwar, but they has some bugs and problems, especially in netplay.
Thanks a lot for the rate.
Added: i really like that great model for hero. And i create a test-map - hero with this model. Of course, If i place it into the Battle for Souls, i will add Epsilon in Credits. Who what thinks?
Download link (i think, isn't problem? But fix if needed)
If you find bugs or any problems, post here please... if problems very serious, i will create version with hotfix...
REMINDER: you can download open-source (!) on official site.

hello , i logged in that russian site and i downloaded the open source version but couldnt open it in world editor i dont know whats the problem i think you use some add-ons a different UI ... maybe you can help me to open the map ... btw im really interested in co-operating with you on this map and make it better ... if you accept a partner
switchtotems, thx for comment and rate. Try to open map in Jass New Gen Pack, but she must open even in usually World Editor. Try to wait longer. If you want then to make map better - you can create individual version for himself or upload your versions here. If your changes become very good, i think, i copy that changes into official version and can add you into Credits.
tried to open it in world editor several times i reinstalled the warcraft 3 and still dont open i wait like 30 seconds 1 minute then it says dont send error ... i believe you use a special tipe of editor if you have a link to it please post it here . btw if you want add me on switchtotems@yahoo.com maybe you help me open this map ...
