Armies of Northrend 1.9

Or we could blame you for using a standard blizz melee map?
I'll check the map myself though.

(And btw: remove the color codes in the description, it's a hell to read).

edit: it's protected, so I won't check it.

Well, i said at the credits that the map terrain belongs to Blizzard Entertainment. Used it cus' i'm a bit lazy with terraining. xD
But i think i'll change it in then next update.

And, LOL... Sorry for the text color xD
I'll change it right away.
And if you want an unprotected version to check, i'll be glad to send it. ^^

An unprotected version would be great.

A little question: why exactly do you protect your map?
If it is because everyone else is doing it, or because you fear it'll get stolen: don't protect your map, leave it unprotected and add something that ensures it is your map, if you make it open source only the ultimately retarded will think of stealing, and those versions will be worse than this one.

Maps do get stolen, but it is easy to deprotect a map...
In fact: protecting a map out of fear it will get stolen ATTRACTS thieves, what's the fun in stealing an open source map anyway?

Not only bland terrain. The balance is also nearly non-existant. Scourge can easily mass up their units and simply blast down Ice Elves to smithereens (Because, in fact, Scourge units aren't that weak and are more cost-efficient).

Hi, recently i've started playing warcraft 3 again and i remembered your map, so i went ahead and played it.
After downloading it and playing it, I remembered why i did not play this map all that much, even though its super nice and unique to play, especially the mountain hero!

Here's the problem, every time i play, after 10+ minutes at least,
it will crash.

There would be a critical error, i hope you can respond and let me know what to do to fix this.
I googled and tried many ways to fix, but i do not understand much of the guides,
such as checking rawcodes (my world edit cant run ur map, not enuf storage to run).
Crash Logs | The Helper
Above is the link to which i think is helpful (but i cant check it), maybe you can give me ur email so
i can send you the full error information?
I created this HIVE account just to contact you, hoping this error can be fixed because i really love
your map and concept!
You can email me at [email protected]

Thank you
This application has encountered a critical error:

FATAL ERROR!

Program: c:\users\sk wen\desktop\personal\warcraft 1.21\war3.exe

The instruction at '0x6F62A570' referenced memory at '0x00000008'.
The memory could not be 'read'.

Yeah, I was never able to find the root cause of this crash back when I still was updating this map. Unfortunately this one is protected and it is been so long that I don't have the unprotected version anymore to fix it now that I have a better understanting of the World Editor. =/

Alright thanks you so much for the reply! Anyways, I would really recommend you to do a map like this(partly so i can play it again hahahahahah), but seriously though, it has great potential. This is because players can choose from 2 dynamic race with OPPOSITE strengths, Ice Elves with their small but strong army&heroes, Undead with their large quantity.
I've also tried playing the campaign Tales of warcraft, but its not my type sadly. Its a very unique type of gameplay that satisfies a unique taste i think it is very creative though!
All the best!
