Map Reviewer: Hell_Master Map Name: Conquest of Gilneas Map Author: Feathermoon Originality An altered melee map with a new race called Worgen in it. I find them interesting and I do think they fit for a killer type of races but I found most of the units just re-modelled but still their damage and other else are based on the original Warcraft III units and the heroes' spells are just plain Warcraft III standard spell. You could have at least made something unique in it but this is pretty much fine. Score: 51/100 Presentation Presentation looks decent though I would suggest also putting some screenshots and changelogs if you want also. Do put the header texts in Bold to better emphasize them such as Map Info, Features and Credits. But I suggest that you just use Kobas' Description Template to do the job or maybe VK (Vengeancekael')'s Map Description Generator to do the hardwork of making a nicely done template for you. Score: 46/100 Design Tooltips are quite a mess. You should put some spacing after each punctuation mark. You did not even bothered to change a little of the description to fit the race because some still displays the original unit in Warcraft III instead of the new unit that has the ability. Score: 59/100 Object Data The Wolf Raid-like unit has a hero glow for a unit, it is just a minor issue but it is better if you remove hero glows for units to avoid confusions. And because they are wolves, I do not know why I see Hyppogryphs and Bandits there, it looks awkward because as far as I know that the Worgen Race composes of Wolf units ONLY. Score: 62/100 Gameplay Overall, game is looking good though I suggest you fix some tooltips (suggestions are at the Design part of my review). And make something unique here, I only see units that are plainly re-modelled such as the basic unit which is just a re-modelled of Footman and with the same Damage and abilities. Also the placement of units and abilities in research and trained are pretty much confusing because some researched abilites are being displayed at the units part. To avoid confusion I suggest, you organize them well. Hunter hero is pretty much imba with his 4th skill then combined with 1st skill, what I suggest is make the mana cost for those two higher so it will be balanced because what I have noticed is that these two abilities are pretty much easy to spam. I even destroyed an entire base with just me and a very small amount of army composing Hippogryphs and those flying units that throws Lightning hammer. I simply use my 1st skill to hasten my attacks and 4th skill to totally empower all of my units and me with a 55 bonus damage. Score: 58/100 Presentation could be pretty much improved. See through my suggestions at Presentation part of my review. Tooptips are quite a mess and needs some porper spacing and change the things that still refers to the original units. Remove the hero glow from the Wolf Raid-like units in the game or completely remove it and change it with a fitting one without a hero glow. The new races are suppose to be composed of Wolves though it looks awkward to see Hippogryphs and Bandits there. Make something unique in this altered melee map. Mostly, I can just see re-modelled units and just changed abilities. Make the placement of research skills and trained units icon neat and organized. For now, it looks like a mess to be honest. Hunter's spell is too much strong and I suggest you make the mana cost of the fourth skill high because with just this single ability, you can maybe own a whole game.

Oh, if it got 2/5 from Hell Master, then I'll w8 till this map is improved because I am sure I'd give it the same or lower rating as I am more strict than Hell Master.

 

[Guildenstern]

I love new races. No screenshots though.

I saw my icon, you forgot to credit me, but that's ok, I'll just test ingame.

If you choose Random Hero, the hero doesn't change when you switch races.
Tooltips don't indicate the hotkeys.
No heroic healing ability.
Confusion doesn't seem to work: The units shows up as mine, but doesn't respond to orders or attack other units, it's just stunned.
Only one piece of music gets old very quickly.

Use "hidden" tags.
Your screenshots are too big.
And reduce the amount of gold.

Well, it fine, but there are many things you could improve:

1. Some units and icons just don't fit here, like that spearthrower and so on.
2. Spellscasters are more or less unique, so are the heroes, but basic units, like footmen and knights are just reskined. You could give them something unique too.
3. You could also change their voices. I know there are not many options for that, but sometimes they just seem wierd. You should make them all (except heroes) sound like wolves.
4. Maybe you should also work a little more on their techtree and tooltips.

 

[Sunreaver]

All right but I won't change their sounds they are not wolves they are still half human and they can also speak
