So I decided to make this as a 1-man project Anyways, I'm open to any suggestions or feedbacks. Oh and, the map heavily relies on fog (that's why objects are darkened), so if you wish to open it in World Editor, kindly press V or F to see it's hidden beauty

So the gameplay will be WC3ish or will it be a total conversion?

BTW use one of the templates for your description.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Gameplay will still be wc3-ish. I'll get over that description

Edit: Updated.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

sugestion, for altered melee, use a 4 player map (if you are going to change units and spells) always a 4 player map it will worth more, you are 8% so consider what i m saying

Will do, I'll try to mirror the map then paste it at the bottom to make it symmetrically fitting.
