Orcnet: Shadow Fury's review

Add an author name and use tags to your screenshots, it's eating the whole space. The description seems acceptable, I'll test it out later.

TERRAIN

The terrain was really messy. The excessive use of overscaled doodads didn't really end up making a pleasant terrain. With such a dense vegetation and view-obstructing doodads, the gameplay itself was ruined because I couldn't always see my hero well. Another point is the flatness of the terrain. I did notice that you used raisings and lowerings but a vast part of your map is flat. Additionally, the tiles were not manipulated efficiently. You used tiles which would never fit well together e.g Sunken Ruins Dark Grass + Ashenvale Vines. Returning back to the doodads, I'd like to know why some areas were left without any of them like, for example, the part of the Acid Sludges. In addition, the trees you've used do not blend really well together. The contrast between dark green and light green is just dreadful.

GAMEPLAY AND HEROES

The gameplay offers nothing unique or special, not even the heroes. All quests I had in the beginning were about killing a number of this and killing a number of that. Why not making something like escorting someone to a place but with a dangerous pathway to it? Or even retrieving an item from hazardous monsters. You need more variation in your quests. Besides, the heroes had clear copies of default skills and that doesn't play to your favour. Heroes with skills similar to old ones are tedious to play, try adding innovative abilities instead to be original. Fortunately, the items at least were not that bad, just fine. I see that you did not simply copy old items and change their names. Good job for that.

OTHER ISSUES

Here I'll list some of the bugs I found in your map. The first one I encountered just as the map started was having a Wizard and a Ranger both level 21 without even picking a hero. Secondly, Lightning Strike of Wizard is a bit buggy since a dummy spawns when I cast the skill. I can see the icon of an idle worker because you forgot to untick "Worker" from it and to add Locust to it such that I couldn't select it. Thirdly and gravest, the green icons. You must have noticed that the custom icons turn green when I pause or when I click on a shop while my hero isn't within its sell range. This is because you didn't change the path of the corresponding DISBTN icons or simply because you didn't even import the DISBTN of the custom icons. It is obligatory to import them and replace war3mapImported\ with ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\. Spelling is extremely important here because one wrong letter and it will not work. This issue is grave because having green icons is breaking the 6^th rule of the Map Submission Rules.

OVERALL RESULT

In conclusion, the map requires much more efforts. For now, it does not satisfy the required standards for approval. For this reason, I will give it 2/5 and vote for rejection.
