Here's my review, final score is at the end:

Presentation: 5/5
Good description at the hive, and loading screen also gives enough information to play the game.

Terrain: 4/5
Terrain is pretty good, and also wide enough to give a clear view since you play with 3rd person camera, could use some more enviromnental doodads, like shrubs, flowers and grass.

Imported material: 4/5
There wasn't much imported material, but it was working perfectly.

Balance: 5/5
Both teams can choose from the same array of attacks, and each attack can be countered, it's just a matter of skill.
Originality: 4/5
Archer games are a bit common, but this one has a few twists that make it good and very fun.

Object editor work: 4/5
Everything is well described, and tooltips are good, the only problem is that it can be a little confusing for a beginner to know which spells are targeted (volley for example) and which aren't (blink, shoot, etc.).

Machine/net friendly: 5/5
Lag free as far as I could tell, needs more testing to be sure, though.

Spelling and grammar: 5/5
No spelling mistakes or grammar errors as far as I could tell.

Bug-free: 5/5
Map seems to be clear of bugs, after 3 games I couldn't find any.

Overall: 41/45 (passable grade = 22)
Voted for Approval.

There are 5 places where you give 5 points (5x 5 = 25)
And there are 4 places where you give 4 points (4x 4 = 16)
(25+16 = 41)

I think your overall score is a typo 36/45 or 41/45?
Any hoot, based on your review I might try this.

I do have my doubts about this statement:

• Balance: 5/5
  Both teams have the same attacks, it's just a matter of skill, perfectly balanced.

I would say the balance is bland based on what you have said.

Instead of Rock/Paper/Scissors we have Rock/Rock/Rock.

Variety and choices makes a game fun and replayable.

Oops, need to fix that, gotta remember to stop doing my reviews when i'm sleepy.

You misunderstood me (now that I checked it, it really looks like that, another reason to stop doing reviews while sleepy), what I meant is that all players can choose the from the same array of skills, and that there can be many different playstyles while still keeping the game balanced.

Approve.

Any Personal Comments?
It's very hard, to work with a camera system, and an attack system, like you've got it.
