Don't upload such low quality maps here, see posts below, Rejected.

Note before reading:
Yes, this is almost the same review as your other map, but it's also almost the same description...
I think it's more than fair

Review:

General:

• Bad description (both in-game as on the hive), the description on the hive is the same as your other map
• Credits not given (you say "Thanks", but to who?")
• There are some typo's (even though you didn't change a lot)

Gameplay:

• it's pretty boring, nothing new
• It just repeats itself the whole time.
• You're supposed to shut down triggers after they're used, now creep spawn whenever you walk under a gate.

Terrain:

• It's a very bad terrain, blizzard cliffs for walls, horrible tile usage, flat
• Overdone doodads (mass lightning for example).
• No "atmosphere" doodads

Objects:

• Units have been changed... but I still can't call that "a custom unit"
• Spells haven't been changed at all (yeah, mirror immage has been changed...)
• Spells do not cost mana... what's the point of that?
• No items (only tomes...)

• Very poor triggering
• No leaks fixed
• Only some basic functions have been used
• Of course it all works... it would've been really sad if it didn't.
• Your coding isn't efficient.

Unfortunately, this map is far from a good map...
The units/heroes aren't custom, they only had some minor changes, the triggering is very poor, the terrain is bad and the gameplay is boring and repetitive.

The quality of this map is too low for self-respecting sites such as The Hive.

• First of all, here are some tutorials: Tutorials
• Then, 2 very good basics:
  > The Path of Proper Map Making
  > The Efficiency of Proper Coding
  (Thanks, Septimus for those wonderful threads ^^)
• You should really fix all those leaks, here can you find information: Things that Leak
• Your terrain, as said before, really needs some work: iPeez's Complete Terraing Tutorial

This is about everything you need for the basics.

Now, I'll give you some hints...

• Do something, don't just create a few heroes, a fews enemy units and let the hero fight those units
• Create bosses, maybe bosses that have to be defeated by using brains instead of just hitting hit... (like a quiz, but then more zelda-like).
• Original ideas are up to you... maybe a new attack-system, maybe a bag-system, item-system, ... (there are plenty of things you can do).
• Of course, create actual items! Maybe even make combination items.

Ap0calypse is right. And there are lots of ways to create simple systems...

ApOclypse has already said enough. I will just add that try the map development section to get ideas before you post them here.
Also give different details of your maps.
Hope you try his advise. It is really good.

Lot's of error and most of it have been mention by ap0calypse. I would just show 1 good reason.

• g grom
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters g grom <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Hellscream for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of pris 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Camera - Apply Camera 003 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Sound - Play HeroBladeMasterPissed2 <gen>

• g grom 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters g grom <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Hellscream for Player 2 (Blue) at (Center of pris 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

    • Camera - Apply Camera 003 <gen> for Player 3 (Teal) over 0.00 seconds
    • Sound - Play HeroBladeMasterPissed2 <gen>

Why you want to create 3 different trigger like this? You could have make it all in 1 trigger files like this.

• g grom
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters g grom <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Hellscream for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of pris 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Camera - Apply Camera 003 <gen> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds
    • Sound - Play HeroBladeMasterPissed2 <gen>

Note : It was a example of merging only.

1/5 (Unacceptable)
