Fall of Quel'Thalas

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Hello everyone! I created a map in which we re-live the events of the Fall of Quel'Thalas. This is a 2 player map, where players can fight as the Undead Scourge or as the High Elves. Keep in mind that I am new in creating maps, and I made this one in 7-8 days. I decided to add music to the map, thus it's large size. There are still a couple of things I would like to add to the map(for example, Arthas and Sylvanas' dialog before her death), but sadly i do not known how. All in all, that's my very first map. I hope you enjoy it. :D
Feel free to tell me your opinion in the comments below.




"The hourglass empties. Lower your defenses; grant me access to the Sunwell; and I will reward you with eternal servitude. Refuse... and I will end not only your lives, but the lives of those you love. Your mothers, fathers, and children. None will remain to mourn your passing."
– Arthas Menethil's ultimatum


Heroes of the Scourge : Arthas Menethil, Dar'Khan Drathir and Thassarian
Heroes of the High Elves : Sylvanas Windrunner, Thalorien Dawnseeker and Anasterian Sunstrider

If you play as the Scourge, you have to destroy the High Elven bases and reach the Sunwell. If you play as the High Elves, you have to drive the undead out of Quel'Thalas.

Known issues/bugs

Sylvanas' spirit spawns before her death.

Having an unused space of around 33% map size is very, very uncomfortable.
Try to make something out of it.
I suggest to remove the sounds and upload a 'Light Version' while attaching the heavy file-size version with additional sounds to a post.
This will solve the 8MB problem, I guess.

Also, please add a valid author to the map.

Besides, there already exists a very good multiplayer version of Fall of Quel'Thalas around WC3 modding, I am not sure whether this map, made in 7-8 days, which is ridiculously low for a map and does not contribute to your map's image, will offer an enjoyable time to play.

Hahaha, on your screenies, you have only spammed the units. + Your terrain is flat and boring :p

In the pending section there are some few people that have used 3 to 9 days on their map.

Well, thats crazy bad if you ask me!
On a simple map iv'e created, it took me over 1 YEAR to create. See the difference?
But it has worth it atleast because it got the Recommendation.
But what im trying to say is, use time on your map(s) or dont create anything.

Visuals
The terrain is simple and quite boring.Add some more decorations,tile variety and make the terrain less flat.Also,fill up some unused areas just to make it look better.As for custom models,you did use a few and they were used appropriately.I suggest you add some more to make the map feel more unique and look better


Gameplay
The gameplay is very plain and simple.However,it's impossible to enjoy the map at it's full potential due to the size being too much for multiplayer.You must really deal with that issue by removing the music.You should also remove the spammed items from the undead base as they make the area over cluttered and look unprofessional.


Overall and Verdict
The map is lacking in originality and quality.Take a look at what I said above and use it to improve the map.You should definitely remove the custom music since it takes up a lot of size.Otherwise,compress your map.I will take another look once you have updated the map.Good luck.
2/5 and needs fix
