- Team Killer and Greedy Schemer don't have hero glow.
- Troll Face's icon becomes green on F10/game pause. It needs a DISBTN. If it doesn't have one, you can make it with:
Button Manager v1.8.2
BLP Lab v0.5.0 - Spells Like Fake Profile and Bondage don't have values per level in their description when learning the spells.
- Suspicious Behaviour creates a green icon buff named Divine Shield.
- You should use custom icons for spells like Suspicious Behaviour since it has the icon of Boots of Speed. Many spells have such already used icons.
- Intended for the Damsel to have Wander? Besides the neutral women have specific/different names and I guess you can't really confuse the fake one because it shows as an enemy.
- Resume Cover should be similar to the Suspicious Behaviour icon, not a totally different onel; example: activate-disable Immolation/Mana Shield/Avatar/Divine Shield.
- Fake Profile doesn't let you regenerate the hero's mana and health.
- Bondage=Ensnare. Nothing special about it.
- King of Slat has a bit too big selection circle. Same: Greedy Schemer, Shifty Contractor,
- Rabble Rousing=Endurance Aura, including the icon.
- Does Rage Quit actually do anything or is it just a game text farce? The hero remains there although the vulture appears.
- Brilliance Aura, really!? How about something original?
- Squeeze Through has some text errors.
- Because I'm a Woman=Frenzy and it doesn't have autocast borders.
- Manlsplaining=Silence...
- Demonstration=Locust Swarm.
- Now You Don't looks active and should look passive. You can make it so with the Button Manager linked earlier.
- Not sure how exactly useful We're Under Attack is. It forces however to use Hold Position, I guess.
- No You Don't seems to be a bit imbalanced especially combined with Fake God.
- Organ Trafficking's description after learning the spell, isn't as detailed as the one in the learn ability menu.
- Does the Shifty Contractor only build human buildings?
- Demolition Squad=Stampede.
- Fake Barracks' selection circle is not visible.
- Bon Voyage says 1, 2 and 3 units in the learn ability menu instead of 3, 6, so on.
- The Final Countdown is imbalanced as it can be cast from wherever and requires the hero being killed. Now, if the bombs don't totally destroy main buildings, then it's OKish.
- Purge by Fire seems OK on big maps but on small ones it would be kind of imabalanced if working only on enemies.
- The minimap signal over the Psychopath should look different, not as if one of your units is being attacked. Also, it should not appear for the owner.
- Not sure how useful Le Grande is.
- Shroom Launcher's position isn't right under Patrol but after it.
- Blink is just Blink.
- Attack Ground from throwing shrooms moves the ability plus to some other command card place. This spell is heavily imbalanced as it gives the hero permanent range over towers.
- Not sure if the Hide Building trees should be so strong considering you can make many. Also, on other maps with different trees, the camouflage would not work if the tree is still Lordaeron Summer type.
Approved.

- A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
- A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
- Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
