EDIT: 2 more updates for final release. I will be changing the map slightly, adding some neutrals around the map, changing terrain a bit, adding/removing trees in certain areas and maybe adding something special. And I will obviously fix the Hero issue and most likely change the Furbolg race, add some more units, more buildings and custom abilities for units and Heroes.
One of my first Altered Melee maps for Warcraft 3.
NOTE: work in progress (due to not being able to use my main computer in the near future, I upload this so I can update it from my second computer and finish it completely).
