Sure no problem.
I cant do the images right now but maybe ill get to them later.

The map has 8 Teams:

Stromgarde, Lordaeron, Amani Trolls, Dalaran, Quel'Thalas, Gilneas, Cult of the Damned(Forsaken), and the Scourge.

The map starts just after the destruction of Strahnbrad by the Orcs, and just before Kel'Thuzad returns to create the Cult of the Damned. The Undead begin to spawn outside of Andorhal and eventually will overwhelm it. Blight begins to spread and more undead spawn as they capture cities and Lordaeron becomes weaker and weaker. Meanwhile across the map other nations are battling it out. The Cult of the Damned and the Scourge fight Lordaeron, Dalaran fights Gilneas and Stromgarde, the Trolls fight Quel'thalas, and history is shaped around the outcomes of the battles.

This is a very trigger oriented map. Mainly the undead push the triggers, but other triggers such as the Syndicate forming after Stromgarde falls and Arugal summoning the Worgen after the fall of Dalaran do occur. When Arthas enters Quel'Thalas the scar forms, etc. I tried to be very accurate with the history, but had to digress in some places for gameplay.

The history so far goes from the founding of the Cult of the Damned to Naxxramas, which is after quite alot of fighting.

This map is spawn based. Only undead can capture cities such as the Capital, Andorhal, Brill, Mardenholde, Stratholme, Corrins Crossing, and Caer Darrow.

Still in testing, but taking a little bit of the break since the release of DoW 2 :D

Looking cool, will play tomorrow.

{EDIT}
Lol, at least its not GoW2, rotten storyline, typical gameplay, nothing unique.
Hell will play tomorrow.

in lore they didn't fight, but they did secede from the alliance. and for gameplay purposes i made them fight each other, as i didnt want dalaran's only job to be to send troops up to lordaeron to help fight the undead and only going up through the alterac mountains or through silverpine just to help them out.

also it adds more people to play the game itself.

The map is really well made (in my eyes) and it is a fun map. But! It laggs like hell on B.net when the units spawn. So you should fix that

honestly i like it quite a bit you used a lot of custom models which is always nice, but i dont see any credits (maybe im just blind) anyway though it's got great potential it'd be cool tho if you put in like a turn timer :infl_thumbs_up:
