1. Many units and buildings have the same icon. Militia looks exactly like the Armed Peasant and Man at Arms (not only that but they also do the same thing; same with the other Sword troops). For icons, you could either try finding different ones on this site or change their hues with:
Button Manager v1.8.2
BLP Lab v0.5.0
Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
How to Make an Icon
2. The terrain is pretty much flat and repetitive.
3. There is no explanation ingame of what you should do.
4. Barrack and Stables have the same name.
5. Imperial armour has an active looking icon while it is a passive ability (I guess; I don't actually know how it works). You could use the first program I linked to make a DISBTN (passive icon) out of the original icon.
6. Resource Camp has the Backpack ability which cannot be researched because there is no Arcane Vault.
7. The human/first force factions are too close to each other compared to the others.
8. There are only two types of attack and armour. OK... undead have chaos damage on towers...
9. Foundation and possibly other buildings can be built on anything even doodads and other buildings.
You should differentiate units more. They're just stronger copies of each other. They don't even have abilities.
Races/factions are not varied; they're basically the same thing.
The base idea isn't bad but the final execution isn't good.
Awaiting Update.
==========================================
Always check/recheck the Map Submission Rules! (Map Submission Rules)
Screenshots could attract more players to download your work. Make the best of them.
A credits list 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.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
To make your work run smoother, fix the so called leaks: Triggers - Memory Leaks and Custom Scripts
