This map is a remake of the classic Ninja vs Samurai game.
You could describe it best as a asymmetrical team based 'Capture the Flag'-type of map.
Like always the Ninjas aim is to steal Talismans which are located all over the map and carry them to their base, while the Samurai have to stop them.
The game is over when either 5 Talisman have been successfully stolen or 20 Ninjas have been killed.

Ninja Gameplay:
Although the Ninjas are deadly warriors they prefer to avoid combat. They operate carefully and plan their engagements. They have the ability to meld with the shadows, throw shurikens, use smokebombs and graplinghooks and have many more tricks.

Samurai Gameplay:
The Samurai are experts in tactics and man to man combat. They manage ressources, place guards at strategic positions, and try to lure their enemies into ambushes.

This remake includes many new features like an advanced combat system, a missile system which allows Ninjas to avoid the spears of the guards with smart movement.
There are also Haystacks on the map which allows both Ninja and Samurai to hide and set up traps. Both factions are able to buy mighty items like the Ninjas 'Renegade Katana' which instantly kills units by attacking from behind! The Ninjas farm gold by killing samurai guards and farmers while the Samurai can train farmers which generate gold over time but also have to be protected from the enemy. Ninjas can use grappling hooks to quickly move from tree to tree and much more...

  1.  Hide in Trees!
  2. Tense combat including avoidable missiles!
  3.  Hide on cliffs!
  4. Unleash custom Ninja and Samurai abilities!
  5.  Hide in Haystacks!

I couldn't recall the original map or the game that is based upon your work, which capture the flag type of maps is quite slow in production nowadays.

However, I like the spells, and environmental play going on the map, it gives the ninja players move on the game like a real ninja, except its not really meant for being a ninja lol. Jokes aside, I would be great if the ninja's side of the team could have atleast allied units that can coupe some part or region of the map to have some guards, traps, or scout units on the said part of the map just like the samurai team has, while the samurai team has bunch of units stationed across the map, I suggest you let them atleast have melee and range instead of just all range units, its impossible to attack an area with a lot of range units and have great damage dealing attacks greater than the samurai players.

Though what catches me for repetitive game play value for this are those spells, terrain, and items to use for the game.

Overall map can be approved.

Well, terrain and effects of map are decent, nice, and that is mostly about it. Also I like idea of abilities and spells.
However, this map is not for single player as I collected all talismans, still I did not win, it says ,,-2 talismans are left for steal"
But when I was Samurai, I did not even have ninjas to fight with. So I assume this is designed for player vs player.
Great drawback is that Ninja is classical Demon Hunter and Samurais are Fel Orc and bandits. You should use custom models for that.
I like idea to train farmers to pay taxes.

Thank you for your feedback Sir! Finally a review! (+rep)
Yeah it seams like you discovered a bug that occurs if you carry too many talisman at once. Fix incoming.
And yes, the game is designed for multiplayer, I forgot to mention it in the description (Stupid me :vw_unimpressed:). I would like to add AI if i would know how to ...
About the skins and models: I thought about importing some fitting skins but I kinda like the warcraft 3 aesthetics. Maybe I will change it if I find some good skins :wink:

You are welcome man! I was map moderator long time ago, and I am helping now with checking maps.
You are good person, thank you for rep. I am sorry that nobody tested your map yet, but your map is old few days only. Moderators usually wait some time to see reviews, to collect informations before they finally test and moderate map. back then in my time we had tons of pending maps so I did not have time to wait, I had immediately to test maps. So I saw your map, and decided to play it and write first post. Do not worry, I sent PM to moderators, with my post, they will see what to do. Those guys are awesome.
About your drawbacks: However you like it, that should be changed because Demon Hunter is demon hunter. it is night elf, not ninja. Fel orc is Fel Orc, not Samurai. There is no reason of calling it Samurai vs Ninja, you could give another name for map. But lets see what other moderator will say about it.
if I were moderating your map, I would approve it with 2/5 lacking after you fix those small issues, or set to ,,needs fix" if you want higher rating. But I just give suggestions, moderator will decide what to do.
