This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
For generations the human have lived peacefully together, populating the
lands under command of lord Airandius. But there would come an end to this

ziggurats rise from out of the ground and start to spawn terrifying creatures.
Only a few brave heroes can safe earth from destruction. Are you brave enough

This map features:
- Ziggurats that spawn evil creatures.

can pick more ziggurats.
- Three different shops offering equipment, potions, barricades and items for
combo recipes.
- Buyable home that regenerates mana or health.
- Randomly generated terrain making every game unique!

[-] - Balancing still need to be fix.
[-] - All ability doesn't have hotkey.
[-] - Should give a player 90 seconds to select class, it is difficult for newbie if they want to read description to know the ability of each class.
Review : Ok, I notice this map doesn't have hotkey. It is fine not to have hotkey for item, but for unit ability. Hotkey is compulsory or else the game play won't be fun at all.
Some people doesn't like to left click it with their mouse as they want to cast the ability in much quicker way.
Other then that, the balancing doesn't seem to be good. Try reduce the hp by at least 5-10%.

This map is great fun:
+ It has a good atmosphere, with all those scary zombies all around.
+ The house system is simple but brilliant!
+ There are various races that give it a good replay factor.
+ You can change the difficulty by selecting the creeps hp, which give it a good replay factor.
+ Same story with the selectable amount of ziggurats -> replay factor.
- Little balance problems, but not that big of a deal.
Overall: I've had great fun playing this map so you deserve a good rating!

Yes, I know it still has some minor balance issues.
But they are very small, yet they will be fixed, I'm going to do a whole new rebalance myself soon.
I might also throw in some changes like new zombies, heroes, spells and additional player slots, but I'll see about that later.
Be sure to keep looking every now and then. ^^

Let me review your map , mate 
Good points = +
Bad = -
+ Nice random map generator.
+ Attack AoS.
+ Uses heroes , enough to fight.
+ A market
- Very low gold rate or nothing
- Ziggurats are powerfull , like the zombies. You should balance the heroes I think , or else.
Medium rate: 4.0 ( 1 point becase I like it , I didn't say I dislike ).
Upgrading minuses will make your map better.
Good Luck Airandius!

Hmm, gold rate is pretty high if u kill enough around 4th wave, i could get best weapon and shield + all i need around the 5th wave.
But I gues I can make the host select the gold rate a bit.
Ziggurats are like the bosses in this map, point is destroying them, and that should be hard..
I'll balance it out a bit more I gues.
And what do you mean by upgrading minuses?
__________________________________________________________________________
Recommended settings for playing is 2 players per ziggurat on normal difficulty btw.
Forgot to add that.
