You need to credit everyone, this is one of the submission rules.
Sometimes the credits is in a readme-file in the model, otherwise you can search the forum.
The chances that the maker of a model will check this map, see their recourse you didn't credit and send it in a mail to you are very low.

The overall quality of the map is also too low and the description is very bad.
(Also watch out ofr missing DISBTN's).

Ok, so here`s my review:
- Loannis icon (Doesn`t fit and lack DISBTN (like many other icons))
- OMG where greece get so modern Contruction Yard
- small number of units
--/+ file size (It`s acceptable, but very big)
-/+ not really much fun in playing
-/+ terrain is good enaugh
-/+ alliances are not balanced at all
+ playable (I think)

I hadn`t played as every fraction, so so far I can give you 2.5/5 (2) and hope you will improve it.

I think this maps needs serious improvements.

I things I liked:
Sort of risk in Ancient Greece style
Nice imports

The things I didn't like
Bad balance(I was Greece, Macedonia owned me and Sparta fast)
Not entertaining(Me and Slaydon were the only ones left after 10 minutes or less
No credit for imports, and imports did not make sense sometimes
My hero had no DISBTN icon, did not have skills, and could not be revived.
Blizzard upgrades......
Gold income took some time
Too much like risk games.

I rate the make 2 and you should improve this map.
Also the map is protected, please mention that.

Me and M4stah played this full house on Battle net and here is the review.


Review for The Archidamian War

Bad
- The names are bad, you cant set the name of the country they own, it should be like Greece + ( + Player 1 Name + )
- The loading screen dont look good + The Title color code isnt working.
- The upgrades are normal.
- The Hero icon is NOT good
- Green Icons
- Sizefile, its just like imported files and edited model file
- Hard to get money
- The Gates health are really low
- The trees can be cut, and the trees dont respawn
- You need to variate the Towers damage
- Your hero die easily, and you cat revive him
- The Bridge Timer stops on 0.00 and stays there
- The health of the Circle that takes over the city got way too low hp
- You should add a tip system to make it easier to understand
- Bad Proper description, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...s-278/the-importance-of-a-description-127031/ This is a full tutorial for making the proper description look good.
- No hero spells
Good
+ Nice preset of the cities, they are variated
+ It can be improved easily if you spend some time on it.
+ Nice Imports

For now i will give it a 1/5 Unacceptable.

Try to improve the bad list.

Does it count as credits?
Btw there weren`t many changes done. Icons are still green (read this), you didn`t close color in your nick at loading screeen, my camera at the beginning (I was red) has panned at yellow spot, how big is selection ring for contruction yard? I guess very big. Anyway it`s still for 2/5.
 
Yes, I admit, the map is pretty much garbage. ShinigamisKami (my JASS and trigger editor) bailed and simply hasn't logged on in about a month. I've scrapped the idea. I only spent about a week on it anyways.
I'm working on a new game, and I'll probably be working on it for about a month before I release anything. It's a shame I opened here at the Hiveworkshop and gaming community with bad rep by releasing an imba game, but hey, we're all noobs at one point, right?

Anyways, thanks for the reviews. Much obliged.
