Tested it, giving 4/5...but you could improve it. However there are some people who will ask you to use BB Codes to enhance your description, otherwise it's fairly good.

as usual, Zenonoth, thank you for your suggestion. I just disregard my previous maps and focus on this one...

Edit:
There's something called "Shift Lock" or "Caps Lock" on your keyboard (depending on the keyboard's origin country), try pressing it once.
Could help improving your sentences.

Suggestion:
Don't upload maps to get suggestions.

so where can i test my maps for suggestions?

My warcraft 3 crashed with a crit error.

I was playing as the Mage, and it just crashed.

Edit: I tested it a few times, it seems to happen sometimes when you cast Fireball. I think it may have something to do with when the Fireball goes over cliffs or, more likely, reaching the end of the edges of the map. Hope this helped.

Edit 2: I also get 2 Spirits, don't know if this is intentional. Your anti-cheat system doesn't work either, the cheats still apply. Don't know what's the point of it anyway, if people want to ruin the game for themselves that should be their decision, not yours.

I played until the third boss, I quit while fighting him due to a frustrating bug.

Here's some of my thoughts (possible spolers):


The merchant sells Ring of the Archmagi and Circlet of Nobility. They both give +2 to all stats, but cost a different amount of gold.
On the hero selection, one of the spells is "Commet fall". It propably should be "Comet fall".
The map could be set to not be partially visible.
Maybe the hotkeys could be Q-W-E-R-T, abilities in same order in the command panel.
The grammar was not too good.
You life is very low message was annoying and not necessary in my opinion.
Consider adjusting ability level skip requirements. Now I can level the mage to 5 and just level up the water elemental, who then makes things a lot easier.
The timed repeating texts were highly annoying.
Make the water elemental able to enter/exit caves.
Limit water elementals to 1.
Deselect the hero when a cinematics begin. Select again when cinematics end.
Some doodads are partially in the air, which does not look good.
Remove tomes that are used. When used, tomes just shrink, but still remain there. You can see the graphics and the leave a shadow.
And the most annoying bug was your "There is no spoon" infinite mana cheat detection. I was fighting the third boss, and casted two spells in quick succession and I was accused of cheating and the game ended. I ran to this bug on other occasions also.
I'd also like to see the triggers for the healing ability for the woman mage, it suspect there is a bug. Please PM me the triggers.


All in all it was an okay map.

Ok the next update will include a dialog box option if you allow cheats or not at the beginning of the game, is that fair?

@Maker

the woman mage healing spell I will PM to you :)...

About the merchants, I did not check it very well either so Im gonna review it...

In all, Im gonna heed most of your advice, thanks!

thanks!...but its not a bug coz the game supports Anti Cheat System, meaning you cant use whosyourdaddy & thereisnospoon in the game...but I'm workin to optimize it, the next version will include fixes of the ACS system including a dialog box which gives you an option if you like cheats or not...

@f0rsAk3n

I will do that coz it seems straightforward :)

Use version 1.3

Players will SURELY pick to "disable cheat" box, don't you think... ???

@All
Please, we worked kind of hard for this map, appreciate it
Look at The Chosen Ones Campaign map, it has disable cheat system, right... ?
Why won't you complain that map ?
Why this... ?
Please, be fair

We possibly want to re-balance the enemies in this map, well perhaps, in the future, we'll implement an "Easy / Medium / Hard" System =D
(I died on Poison Mira...)

Dwarf's minions are a bit... annoying, to say. It is not rare to find them blocking your way despite the fact that they throws axe at a safe range. :/

Terrain is a bit bland but I guess its safe to say that's just a-ok due to the fact that the player is exploring underground.

The camera ain't gettin' fucked up. Thank god. :D

Pretty decent and still improvable. I'll try going in further next time.

nice map...few ideas

droppable keys I accicently picked one up with back pack and it wouldn't open any doors to move on..
Some kinda rest for heroes besides mage spirit or a healing font at start
also maybe at deaths shop?
waiting 10 mins to regen hp to fight pretty annoying early on
How does death selling items work? i got to lvl 11 and 2k souls before i got stuck and couldn't find any items that costed souls like he says he sells..

for the ice warrior maybe make the lvl of water elemental skill increase it and limit the number of them to 1-2 having 20 is a little annoying
so far thats all i've noticed only got to the ranger, 3rd boss when i accidently picked up the key
Mages big fireball targeting melee..if i click on a mob coming towards me i run to him instead of it working like shockwave. if i cast it on a ranged unit and i'm engaged with melee i'll walk around the melee ones and it'll cast at weird angles.. instead of the intended path.
Mages immolation *firetail?* it is always BEHIND u not on u so vs 2-3 melee it's useless as it's range doesn't reach the direction your engaged maybe increase it's aoe range to atleast cover melee targets attacking you?

make tomes restock faster or hold stocks of more then 1 after fighting and getting 2k only to being able to up 1 agil was annoying
all and all it was pretty fun and thanks for the effort and a feel with a few tweaks it can be great

now that's a good comment, I will fix the droppable this day...
about the fire trail, that's why its called 'fire trail' coz its always behind him :)
fireball - the cast range is 100 so you should cast it in front of you, not at the enemies...
the ice warior (hunter) ability felsburg is passive, so as the level goes up then the greater chance for him to cast it...

about souls, I will add a Healing Point for it this day (next patch)...also in the next patches, it will buy abilities...

in all, thank you all for your comment, but we need more to improve this map...

I played it through with the two-sworded hero with Illidan's voice set, version 1.4a, normal difficulty.

My thoughts how to improve:

Ice Deflect, I'd like the unit not become invulnerable. Being invulnerable means units stop attacking you, and that's not deflecting. I'd rather have the unit gain Hardened Skin with 0 minimum damage and very high blocked damage, and Spell Damage Reduction ability with 100% magic damage reduction. That way units will still attack you, but you won't take any damage.

Again the use of water elementals. The woman mage also uses them. Maybe change water elementals for someelse unit for the mage or this unit.

The unit has 3 passive abilities. I'd like to have one more active ability. Perhaps transform one of the passives into active?

The drop rates were through the roof compared to 1.2 version. Maybe even too high.

The respawn time was perhaps too low. Increase it a bit.

When opening doors, check the companion's inventory also, so I don't have to have the key in the main hero's inventory.

The freeze target and Entagling Roots were pwnage combo.

Give the companion more ability levels, and balance the levels.

The end boss was not too difficult, I had more troube with some other bosses. I saw you removed the vampiric aura from him, making him even easier.

There could be stronger items dropping when progressing through the map. Even another shop. Custom items would be nice.


And what can I do with souls, other than respawn?
