Knights of a lost Horizon

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
WELL THIS IS IT!!! Elves, Naga, Fel Orcs and the Burning Legion join the fight in the icy world of Northrend. A skirmish map that all these factions are playable...

This map intends to keep the SAME GAMING EXPERIENCE as any other skirmish maps do, as well as giving you the chance to play all these factions.

The map is an edited version of Plains of Snow. I have added water around the map, turning into an island in order to take advantage of the Nagas' amphibious ability.

The factions are:
Elves ---> Replace Human Race
Fel Orcs ---> Replace Orc Race
Naga ---> Replaces Night Elven Race
Burning Legion ---> Replaces Undead Race
If you don't remember which is which, just start a game with this map quit it and start over. In the selection screen, you will notice that the faction names have changed in EVERY MAP. In order to undo this chance, just repeat the process described in an other map.

Map Name: Knights of a Lost Horizon
I have changed most of the models, names, skins and buildings on the stage. I have also changed some icons, upgrades and skills to fit on the changes on the units and the factions.

BIG THANKS to hive workshop and all those modders whose models, skins and icons used in the map are.

KNOWN ISSUES
---> The faction name problem described before
---> The serpent warrior screams like an archer when he dies. Sorry but I can't do anything for it right now.
---> The glow on War Mage, Warchief, Naga Summoner, Hellfire Lord and the Death guard is not corresponding on the player's colour. That's because the Hero glow is a separate and hidden ability added only to these heroes, whose models are non-Hero. Just toggle the ALLY COLOUR MODE ( a button near the minimap ) three times to fix the colour.

If there are other bugs, just inform me via quotes.
You can redistribube and edit this map freely. Just inform me that you did so that I can test this map and see if it is better than mine.

  • This is not a melee-map (incorrect type).
  • Import abuse.
  • Not suitable for b.net.
  • Most units only have very little changes.
  • Adding water right behind the base was a bad idea, as the naga are the only race which benefit this at all, thus all other races are at a disadvantage while playing against them.

Conclusion: the changes are so little that even if you got the type correct, it could not be approved.
There were too many units where you just changed the name and be done with it.

Permanently rejected.
