Author's notes:

Note, Archimonde will only Spawn if there are 8 Players in the Game. Read the Optional Quests in-game for More Info. If the map won't open in the warcraft3/maps/frozen throne/scenario directory, put it in warcraft3/maps/frozen throne directory and open the map with warcraft 3 from there.

Remove the excess BB Code from your description.

Hmm...it might be a bit excess, but it's just a line of text. LSOD 3.87 also uses it, no one commented. Anyway, if it creates more problems will remove it in the next version on both maps.

Oh right, kind of looks the same though.

It's supposed to look the same, it's a serie:) Or at least quite similar.

Thx for the replies, hope you enjoy:)

----------------------



Positive features:

- Has a quest menu
- Has a multiboard

Negative features:

- Could use more heroes
- We were pretty much unable to kill a single hero that attacked the base, I think it needs some balance
- Terrain could use some work
- Lacks original spells

Additional Information / Conclusion:

In short, it is quite an interesting map, but it needs more work.

Rating: 3/5

Okay, I tried and liked it, but I have a few suggestions:

Make all the leaderboards retractable, the bottom one can get in the way.
Maybe make the permanent item abilities into their own spellbook slot, so you're not limited to just two.
Maybe make an option to remove the floating texts, battles can get laggy and confusing enough without adding brightly colored text to them.
Either give the AIs instructions to pick up the exp tomes or have them last a limited time, because otherwise they just clutter.


Other than that, I liked the music (though sometimes it changes for no reason), the items are cool and I like the spells.

EDIT: Found a few little bugs:

The Deathlord's nova dummy caster is selectable and can be targeted by its Revive spell.
Bots have a habit of buying the Golden Sword and then dropping it for some reason.
Occasionally bots get stuck on the walls (I think it's a spell of Mannoroth's that does it).
The God's Legacy item doesn't replace the Basic Weapon, but it keeps telling you you can't have more than one weapon.
The Armor of Spell Resistance doesn't upgrade into (an item named) Armor of the Gods, so it's not clear what you have to buy to obtain the God's Legacy.
Deathlord again: if you buy the extra Chaos Lightning ability, it always triggers first if you use Death Chain. Not that big a deal, but it's strange. Fortunately they don't share cooldowns.
Really weird one: that extra area at the top of the map started spawning paladin after paladin after paladin for some reason, completely choking it off.
The Paladins sent as reinforcements have ridiculously overpowered health regen that prevents them from taking damage unless they're in range of the final towers. And even then, it's not certain they'll die.
Two bugs in the pvp system (against bots at least): After I fought one, he later showed up as friendly. Refighting him in pvp reset him to enemy status though. The other one is weirder: after beating a hero in pvp, they disappear and are sent back to their base. Problem is, this happens again out of pvp, whether you or the units kill the hero, and reappear back in the base. And the revival timer is skipped, you lose gold but suffer no other penalty for dying.
The Balrog is so big you can't select other units when close, including shops (so you keep getting "cannot target self" messages when trying to use a spell).

The map is constantly being slowed down by... I don't know what exactly but my CPU is really not that bad so that means the map is at fault there.
Nevertheless it's crazy that it's hard to understand things fast and what items to buy especially when the siege begins with the start of the map.
