It has been roughly 15-20 years since I last touched Warcraft 3's World Editor, so why create the map in the first place? Well, after having watched a few popular streams of Wc3, I suddenly decided to give Warcraft 3 campaign another go. From there I was reminded of those beautiful waterfall and water areas, which Blizzard somehow could create with the same editor. Having spent many hours in the past on creating Warcraft 3 maps in all sorts of sizes and game modes, I - these many years later - finally decided to figure out how the %*¤?! they were made.
Well, turns out you simply had to switch off the Enforce Water Height Limits-feature and you were good to go... Well, after that one thing lead to another, and this map was made. I hope you'll enjoy it!

The item icons - tome, slippers, and potion, indicates where Power Up, Permanent, and Charged items drops. A creep camp having 2 or more item icons will drop 2 or more items for heroes to pickup. E.g. the creep camp in the top-right corner will drop 3 items for heroes to pickup.

Very nice for 1v1.
Building space is pretty narrow, including for expansions.
Either my "luck" or too many Tomes of Agility.

- 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.
