Note
Not enough changes have been made. Status has been set to Awaiting Update.

You should avoid updating this map too frequntly if you don't fix all the issues I point out.
If you feel the need to update more often even though you don't fix all the issues I pointed out, you need to upload it in the the Map Development forum and continue developing it there.

You need to believe yourself that all issues I mentioned have been fixed before updating this again.
An alternative is to provide good arguments to why some things have not been fixed.

If you do not follow the guidelines above I will reject the map.
Rejection will only follow if you intentionally contine to update the map. Mistakes can be overseen.

What you need to do:
Your description is lacking. While being nice and cleaned up with a description template, it lacks information. What is different from DotA? What did you add? What are the main features?

I tried out the game with a friend aswell, and must say that there are a lot of things that could use improvement.

The arsenal of items are way too small to be interesting for an AoS. Being able to choose from only 11 items + a healing potion (that turns off upon being attacked, which wasn't stated in the tooltip) does not allow for a lot of variation, and all the player will end up with the same items in their inventory. Additionally those items had no reciepes. Just straight off a high gold cost which will take a long time to reach.

Last hitting was very hard, as your minions attack very swiftly with the same damage as the hero I played. The heroes abilities cost a lot of mana. I could use two abilities one time each and then I had to either go back to the base, or wait until it regenerated (which would tkae forever). The abilities wasn't powerful either, and barely felt like they did any difference in the combat.

In order to get his approved a lot of more items will need to be added and heroes will need a lot of balancing.

Haha, definitely made me laugh to see that you included Freddy.
...Hopefully I'll be able to test and let you know what I think at... Some point.

This link makes your description hotter, also try adding screenshots.

And change the author name to yours, else we can't be sure that this map is yours.

Screenshot

I already added screenshot. :thumbs_up:

Everyone, I'm sorry I can not update it further. My PC is not compatible on Warcraft III anymore. It will be 4 - 10 months.

Daffa · Apr 7, 2016

Have you seen the update for Warcraft? I'm sure the new version is compatible to all Windows variants.

AditTechno · Apr 7, 2016

It's returned to normal though, but I don't have ideas to update it yet.

Well, you can update it anytime you want. So there's no need to worry. Take your time to get some new ideas.

I can't make recipes yet. Any tutorials in the tutorial forum?
Also there is 24 items though. Check clearly in the tomb or ancient of wonders.
I'll try to update it.

I'm sure there is. Of not there, somewhere else on the wb. It is not very hard to serach for it yourself, really.

Also there is 24 items though. Check clearly in the tomb or ancient of wonders.

Well, in that case you might want to make that more clear, as both my friend and I only found one item shop.

Good, good. keep working!

AditTechno · Apr 8, 2016

I've balanced some heroes, changed something, anything in Version 1.0.3.

Meatmuffin · Apr 8, 2016

In addition to what Rufus said, the icons for spells/commands seem very random. At least select appropriate command buttons (default ones or one of the icon packs from the Packs section, I've seen some pretty ones like this one.

I think I'll try to think ideas for items. So I think i need to create a hidden item shop now.
Some reasons :
I'm working on a cinematic where it needs to be fixed too. So I don't have some time.
Other thing is that items is not worked on yet. I'll get to work on it. Because I already recruited someone for spell creating and finding bugs I think. I created this map before I registered Hive though. If so, I would quickly call for reinforcements(recruitment).
The manacost, I think this time I should lower the mana of Level 1 abilities...

Hope you can understand. I'm trying to recruit users too.

Camera should be panned on the Tavern not the base so the player can know where hero selection is.
Why no scoreboard?
