Because this was an experiment in making a platforming game, pathing and movement may feel a bit jagged at times. There should be no lag from this map, so all graphic settings should be at their highest. Your light quality must be at its highest setting to view the game properly.

Personal Notes:

This is another map I wasn't too motivated to work on after the contest was over, but I'll get around to improving it over time. Feel free to leave suggestions or glitches so I know what to work on in the (hopefully near) future, or what to include/exclude from future maps. The only thing that will never be done for sure is making this into a multiplayer map.

Make a generator that can read SLKs and import from Excel?

On to the map itself, I didn't like it. You've clearly put a lot of effort into it, which is good. Some especially good points were the attack animations (timing, response, combos, etc), graphics (obviously), and the rather challenging boss.

In my opinion, arrow keys can't and won't work well in Warcraft 3, the laggy response just isn't good enough for this gameplay. The only way this type of map would possibly work for me would be to use mouse clicks.

Really great map .I'm looking forwards to playing this map with longer missions and more players ... I know it's hard but trust me .. Multiplayer maps are funnier than the single player ones . And I will mention you in credits because I took some triggers , And it was really hard and heavy to make it MUI and MPI with adding some arrays and multiple triggers . And I think i will do this to your map too and I will upload it so I make it Aegaeus Multiplayer Map , That's if you agree .

I made him tricky since he's the only enemy other than the boss. Holding F4 before using the bow and sword is your best friend in that fight.

This was made a long time ago on an old computer, so I'll have to update the movement now that I see how glaringly jagged it is.
