- The terrain is pretty much cramped up.
- All players are Human.
- Akama doesn't have a proper description like the usual heroes and the Void Walker's description is a mess.
Tooltip Tutorial
Creating Good Descriptions - Hero abilities need proper positions in the learn ability menu and on the command card. They are chaotically placed.
- More than 1 hero can be trained per tier.
- The Soul Stone's abilities have little to no descriptions, especially in the ability learn panel. Also, two autocast abilities isn't viable since you can only use one at a time.
- Hero glow can be added to heroes that have none: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
- Trapshop needs a proper description.
- The gameplay in this modification is a mess. Everyone can call an Infernal, two Potions of Invulnerability in the shop will make things very annoying especially if used in tandem with Paladins. Also, tomes of experience. Sure, these items cost but they are very dangerous. Ah, and Ankhs.
- All that and random neutral units all over.
- I think the neutral Militia expire into Peasants. That should not be.
- Walls could use another model or better differentiation from Scout Towers.
- Trapshop doesn't want to be built for some reason.
Substandard.

- A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
- A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
- Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
