There's a leak somewhere after upgrading a blue building to one of the three choices (it might be the one in the middle/second). The game lags. Changes made, approved.

Appreciated what you do man but this is not a proper review to decide if a map it's worth approval or not. Check out some normal reviews if you want to inspire from.

I find it strange that so many of these maps have no custom content, and yet my map was rejected for having (edited) but not unique abilities.

hmm...

Anyway I'm not actually playing any of these maps, only generating a report, but I will work on making the format of the report look more presentable

The map is not translated into English by 100%, but enough to comfortably feel English-speaking players.
The report is not correct. Data "Number of Custom" is not true.
List of swear words: 0 (100% true, there is no swearing).
Imported files used: 0 of 0 files used (Real numeral – 538).
Estemated In Game loading time: 4.05 seconds (I am very pleased with this evaluation, because on my old laptop boot time is up to 15-30 seconds).

  1. The tree of life has an ability with no description.
  2. What is ommon as the name for the Tavern? And why are all named the same if they have different units?
  3. The terrain is too simple, boring actually.
  4. Hotkeys to train units?
  5. You can surround your castle with trees.
  6. Sybilline has nothing written after the +s.
  7. Fairy Defender's Pollen says Pit Lord... Plus how does this unit attack without attack/damage?
  8. Fairy Gardener's spell doesn't have a description and the icon looks as if passive but the spell actually requires mana and clicking. Plus, it seems disabled/can't be used. Suddenly I could use it, maybe because I gained more Green points? You can make it look active with this program: Button Manager v1.8.2
  9. Now the Fairy Defender can attack...
  10. Forest Spider's poison description is broken.
  11. The forest spider has hero glow. I suggest you don't use that if those units are not heroes. You can ask for someone to remove it if you don't know how: Requests
The idea is neat but the presentation is awful.
Fix descriptions (for every faction), make things look better.
Tooltip Tutorial
Creating Good Descriptions
Maybe you could make some sort of scoreboard.

Indeed, there are problems. If possible, I'll find and fix bugs in a timely manner.
The "living" landscape system was created, I indicated this on the forum. This allows you to change the landscape depending on the constructed Mana Pool
