Originality
This map is not very original but is one of the better Altered Melee maps I've seen.
It has the sense that wa666r hand a hand in it. Though not original, its pretty clean
and plays well. So nothing too bad here.
Score: 23/100
Presentation
The description is still a fail. It contains enough information but lacks any presentation
quality. No screenshots, no color, no boxes. Bad bad bad. Sorry but it is. Please fix this.
We are the face of the Hive and should put our best on for the masses. This is not the
best you can do. Its almost so bad enough this map should be rejected, but its a pretty
good map, so I won't vote like that.
Score: 12/100
Design
This is an Altered melee map with a dialog menu that let's you choose if you want to
play the alternate race at the start. The map is Blizzard, so not points for terrain. The
races seem very balanced which is a good start. The tooltips I saw all had appropriate
text and proper spelling, though the description and some of the text in did not. All
Icons were properly used with DISBTN and the selection of Blood Elve skins and models
was really nice. Good Choices. Where this map starts to miss the mark is spells. Some
are good but others are confusing or generic and don't match the unit or the icon. This
is not really a problem but it could be improved. A great altered melee should feel like
Blizzard made it and have perfectly matching icons, models and spells. This one comes
pretty close and isn't half bad.
Score: 84/100
Terrain
Blizzard did a great job making this terrain, it is even and balanced. Props to Blizzard.
Feathermoon did well picking it to match the races though, so nothing bad here.
Score: 49/100
Triggers
All trigger seem to be working though I didn't run any checks or open it in WE.
Spells for Blood Elven heroes I used all worked, though they seemed weak.
The dialog menu worked though which is good.
Score: 68/100
Object Data
Here's where this map really shines. The skins and
models are all really nice and the choices were very tactful/ Some of the Icons
could be better but as for the units, very very niice.
Score: 94/100
Gameplay
Standard melee style with altered units and spell.
Pretty standard stuff here. But it seemed balanced and was nice enough, so ...
GOOD WORK!

I would change the icons that don't fit with the spell. For example, the flare Icon
should not be used for some fire bolt spell and firebolt Icon should not be used for
something else. Use new Icons for new spells, unless they are really close to the
old spell. Also a heroes icons should all match in color scheme. Some of yours don't.
Also, the spells don't all seem to fit. I seemed like you ran out of ideas and just
picked some random stardard spells for some of the units. Its not terrible but could
be improved. You should learn to import spells and use more of the GUI spells from
the Spells Forum. These guys make amazing spells.
