Also, the keywords section is a good idea, but you have done it a little bit wrong. you can copy and paste this if you wish, and the keywords will work better, and they will be hidden from your description, taking no space or making it ugly.

Also, the log hidden tags is better if it is called log, and you write the date inside. This is optinal tough, just a matter of taste.
I think you will attract few players with a description like that.
With a nicer looking description it might just become more attractive for people to download and try it out.

Until a better description is provided, this maps status is set to Awaiting Update.

He did update the description after Rufus' review, which was the only thing Rufus requested in his review. If you are basing this judgement on Rufus' review, then it meets the standard of that review. That means that you should probably test the map, and then judge if its substandard or not, if you didn't test it and didn't base your judgement upon your own view of the situation.

The map was awaiting update when I reviewed it.
But I guess the system does not tell us when a maps hive description is changed.
Back to pending as requested.
I played necromancer.
It turns out skeleton archers and militia are quite great to spam and the higher level upgrades are expensive(in food basically not only the building costs more food but you also have less units) and do not have immediate interest compared to building another base grave(you need a bunch of levels before having cool undead and they are immediately a lot more expensive in mana and so the graves spam them a lot less)
What made me feel the upgrades expensive was the constant lack of wood because I tried to use the worker grave for saving on food and it was troublesome to order those workers to cut wood when they constantly popped in and out.
I suggest to put rally point on the summoning buildings(easy to do give the rally point ability to all the summoning buildings then make a trigger that makes summoned units smart(an order that corresponds to right click and which have as an order string "smart") either the target or the point of the rally point when summoned.)
The triggering involved for this is small and will make this race interface more in line with the interfaces of the other races(and will allow to save a lot of clicks for those summoned workers)
The base buildings had a kind of weird mana transfer that was probably intended to be microed to spam more higher level units by having two bases near each other and making them reload each other and reload summoning buildings but doing this with micro would cost absurd amount of clicks(and would probably be done by any serious player playing this mod with the intent to win as fast as possible because doing it allows to have like 50 bonus mana regeneration per second and thus an increase in production of the high level tombs similar to building 10 tombs and that without food cost but since by using higher level units are so expensive it reduced their cost and so did seem in my book the only incentive to have more than one high level unit summoner(you know that unit who have a wide radius "units do not die" aura and a bunch of hp you probably take one in order to manage logistics and bring new units while the heroes are fighting away from the base))
Either make that easy repetitive and tedious task automatic(like give a link ability that then makes the bases do that on their own) or maybe make high level buildings have higher cooldown for their summoning ability to reduce the gap between a player microing this way and someone not doing it(which will probably stay huge if that player was one of those 200 apm monster of multitasking).
One thing I dislike is active non automatic abilities with very small effect on many mid tier units(also problematic on high tier ones since you get a lot if you get rich or start microing a pair of bases and then you have to spend a whole lot of clicks to get your 24 archsuperultraliches(or whatever it was called) to all do their splash spell which is tendious and needs to make sure you do not select over and over some liches without selecting some who still can cast it(basically you will have to do a lot of control groups and constantly refresh them because the units die and get replaced))
Terrain looks well, unpolished but the idea is not that but the techtrees.
The Scroll of Omniscience can be used at the start to know where the enemy bases are.
Why are the Demons written in white and the others in yellow in the dialogue box?
Necromancer:
You start with Nexus III but can build a Nexus I?
So why call it Brilliance AURA if it only affects the Nexus?
The Ziggurat has 3 Brilliance Auras?
A tower with chaos attack, hm...
The towers have a big selection circle.
The Necronmage has three spells (not four) of which one is also present on the Master Necromancer (Death Pact); this leads to three levels with no spell to choose.
The Nazgul also has Death Pact; all heroes seem to have an ultimate that summons a unit.
Seems a rather extremely difficult faction to play with against others when everything is mana and time based.
Demons:
You could use different or edited icons for the altars.
The castle's icon doesn't really fit. You could at least edit it, make it red or something.
Why does this faction have 5 heroes and the Necromancer only four (the starting hero included)?
Parasite Research doesn't mention it's for the Servant.
Flaming Sphere has the ability Set Rally Point, thus it cannot be moved by right clicking only by using the Move command.
Bloody Arena has the same upgrades as the Focusing Tower except one.
Similarly Invocation Portal has almost the same units and abilities as the Invocation Center.
Flame Wall and Chain Fire are supposedly different spells with the same icon?
Some upgrades in the Torture Laboratory don't mention the units they are for.
The upgrades system is a bit chaotic being in many buildings. If there could be a way to group them better; upgrades for the same unit together in the same building or something.
Goblins:
Food is only increased by buildings Outposts?
True Sight's icon on the Sophisticated Science Hall looks like it is disabled.
Military Chieftains' Bashing Bullets box has no visible abilities but you can scroll over some invisible ones with broken description.
The Biggest Subtinker Gun's last requirement is Rad not Radioactive Plant.
This faction needs a lot of space to evolve.
The Miner Factory requires a specific upgrade of goblin buildings even if those buildings were upgraded even further.
Outlander:
They also have Cannibalize.
I don't understand why more than 1 building can research the same upgrade(s). It creates confusion.
There are at least 3 buildings that can train the War Priest...
The last rank upgrade for the mage units have the same icons as the upgrades for their spells.
I doubt it's a good idea for every blood elf unit to have Drain Mana.
Heal is present on the Healer and the Dragonhawk.
Life Regeneration Aura's icon=that of the Necromancers against decay.
I feel it requires more polishing especially on the balance side which is very hard to do without many testers playing at once.
It definitely presents unique ways of base building.
