Author Request of map takedown : Under the Burning Sky Remake

There are many issues to consider before the map is completely playable, mainly the AI.

 

[Rufus]

Done!
Add it anytime you want again.

 

[Traktor]

I think that exchange system causes people to give each better rattings so they get better one in return. People should get some sort of points for reviewing that they can exchange for reviews. Also if I review some of the moderator maps will I get approval/disapproval faster?

 

[Daffa]

@Traktor
In a way I would agree. Though to be plain honest, it's quite difficult getting reviews nowadays, especially if your map not one of those hits in term of design.
A map can get approval/disapproval faster if there are lots of user reviewing them. This way moderator would consider them before doing his review.

 

[Rufus]

The author of a map that have not yet been approved can not exchange reviews with me or any of the map reviewers. They will be approved or not anyway.

Also, about the points for review is a good idea, and that was actually the original idea for this project. Here is the first thread: Review Exchange! -The Rotation Version-
The problem is just that it would mean that someone would have to adjust the points and oversee every single review of the project in order to deal points correctly. It requires a lot more maintainance than this.
Also, the important thing is not the rating, but rather the feedback you get, because that contain the things you can actually improve on.

A method to avoid forced ratings can be to avoid rating the resource at all.
I try to rate maps anyway after my best ability.

EDIT:

A map can get approval/disapproval faster if there are lots of user reviewing them.

This is very true.
This is actually a super useful tool for me who have to go through maps.
If I see a review from a user that evidently have put some effort into their review, I can mark their post as a review for the map, approving it or not based on that users post.

Rufus, since my melee map had a lot changes in design so whole minimap look different with new updates. Today i made title picture to my map, so please could you set it in The Grand Review Exchange.

 

[Rufus]

It needs to be 100x100. You can resize it and attach it to a post in this thread.

 

[Supernickman 32]

Like this?

 

[Rufus]

Too big.
100x100 pixels is needed. That is 250x250.

 

[Supernickman 32]

Maybe this?

 

[Rufus]

No I need 100 x 100. This is 80 x 80. Just set the dimensions to 100 x 100?

 

[Supernickman 32]

I hope this time i done it right.

 

[Rufus]

You got it!
Updated the list preview.

League of Kalimdor 1.01b

League of Kalimdor (LoK)

An absorbing AoS/MOBA that offers the player a unique experience with outstanding atmosphere and intense action. There are more than 100 cool heroes to try out, items a lot, awesome features like the covering mantas on the lanes which are able to hide your hero once it walked upon that field, allowing it to avoid more damage or even able to save its life, neutral creeps that award the killers with a beneficial buff for the next 30 seconds and many more. To all of that, the fast paced action in the game blends perfectly with those mentioned before.

To be played online you must have the latest patch 1.27b, but you can also try it on single player since LoK has AI controlled heroes. Recommended number of players for a good match is 3vs3, 4vs4 and full house 5vs5.

 

[Rufus]

Added to the list.

And no micro updates only great updates that will change all or most in map.

 

[Maxwell]

I'm not sure, but one great man tell me to try

Here it is:
Naxxramas [2.3] - "Heroic Difficulty"

Its an altered melee for 5 players. The player in the center of the map represents Naxxramas. He must defent himself from asault of other players. Under his control are 4 Obelisks of Corruption, that dives such advantages:

• Reduce max HP of all enemy players by 30%
• Summon Skeleton Servants every time when enemy unit dies.

Thanks to that Naxxramas player can summon huge army of undeads, upgrade tham and send they on the attackers. Defend your Obelisks of Corruption to save this advantages.

Attackers should play carefully to minimize their loss, as each dead unit become part of Naxxramas Army. Destroy all Obelisks to make Naxxramas weak and than just rush him.

With coming of new pach "Heroic Difficulty" it become more interesting to play with AI. I recomend to play as Naxxramas Defender.

So thank you for atention. More information about map you can find in map description.

 

[Rufus]

Nice to have you here, Maxwell!
However, you need to fix your description slightly. Look at the others in the list.
They have a short summary of their maps. You need to create one like that aswell. Try to keep it short and interesting for maximum attention.

 

[Maxwell]

Naxxramas [2.3] - "Heroic Difficulty": Altered Melee map with nice atmosphere for 5 players (4x1) about assaulting of Naxxramas, that can raise great armies of Skeleton Servants to defend himself and destroy attackers. A good challenge for people who love Melee/Altered Melee maps.

 

[Rufus]

Alright!
Added to the list.

 

[Maxwell]

Alright!
Added to the list.

Really? Oh, thank you Ruff ^ ^
Can i upload one more?

 

[Rufus]

You can submit as many as you want.

 

[Maxwell]

Hour of Twilight [1.4]: Altered Melee map for 2 players (1x1) in which you can play for the Old Gods who swallowed the world and plunged it into darkness. Each player gets a randomly created set of units of standard races, affected by corruption of the Old Gods. The unique idea, a really strong atmosphere and randomness make the map interesting and allow you to play it again and again.

 

[Rufus]

Added aswell. Have I told you I love your descriptions?

 

[Maxwell]

Added aswell. Have I told you I love your descriptions?

Hmmm... Something wrong whith descriptions? ._.
I told you I'm quite illiterate

 

[Rufus]

Well, those descriptions doesn't have to be super accurate.
Those are more for getting people interested, click your map and read more about it.

 

[Maxwell]

Blackrock Mountain [1.7]: Altered Melee map for 2 players (1x1). Take the side of one of the Lords of the Blackrock Mountains - Ragnaros, owner of Molten Core or Nefarian, owner of Blackrock Spire. Clean mountain from monsters and capture the Altars to make your Master more powerful and help him to destroy enemy servants with purifying flame.

Warcraft: Medieval Strategy Overhaul

I'm releasing the alpha this weekend.

This project is an overhaul of Warcraft for the best experience in Medieval Real Time Strategy. It combines aspects of Warcraft 3, Stronghold and Age of Empires II plus adds many new things - camera zoom system, new combat mechanics, upgrade system for all units and buildings, custom pathing for custom buildings, castle system with build-able walk-able walls & rotatable buildings, realistic environments that affect unit stats depending on the terrain + more rivers & bigger maps with miles between players and plenty of room for building cities and castles, updated hero system, custom resources, farming system, and a crafting system for food and gear.

Some of these features have yet to be implemented into my Alpha Map that will soon be ready for testing. I don't know how to make them work even though they appear in other Hive systems (many authors are M.I.A. or don't answer my questions) because I lack triggering experience and some of them are quite complex. (Example, rotatable buildings and buildable walkable walls are in @MassiveMaster 's Castle Defense map.) As this project progresses hopefully someone can help or teach me.

 

[Rufus]

Added to the list!
I'd suggest you try to shorten that a little though, in order to make it easier to read and just give a quick overlook about what your project is. If they want more information, they'll just click the link.

 

[UmbraUnda]

Thanks a bunch - I guess you can eliminate the 2nd paragraph. Maybe just add Project still a work in a progress or Project not done yet to the 1st paragraph.

 

[Rufus]

Give me a finished text to paste in there. It is tricky knowing exactly what to change otherwise.
Remember that you can tell me and provide a new text if you want to update the description anytime!

I'll update it in a minute.
Also, you can upload a 100x100 image to this thread, to use as a preview picture. Since your project had none, I just used your profile picture in the meantime.

Awesome - I'll make one later this weekend. Thanks again

 

[Rufus]

Anytime.

 

[UmbraUnda]

Alright I got an image you can use as the thumbnail on the map resource.
MedievalStrategyOverhaul_v0.1a

You said I could upload it however I'm not sure where to upload it to... pastebin link?

 

[Rufus]

Beside the button "Post reply" by the text box when you write a message, you can click a button that says "Upload a File".

 

[UmbraUnda]

o0o0o ok. Does it have to be 100 x 100 pixels? Or just that ratio? Here's a more hi-res image. I can resize it if needed though.

 

[Rufus]

Sorry, has to be 100 x 100

 

[UmbraUnda]

Alright - this should do. I may change it later - kinda hard to read right now...

 

[Rufus]

Updated!

[noob2]

If I want to review someone map where do I post the review?

 

[deepstrasz]

If I want to review someone map where do I post the review?

As the others have done before, on that map's thread.

 

[noob2]

Thank you for your help.
