No no no. Nice idea for a part 1. In fact, I will just bullet things out.

• This is way too expensive in terms of memory. You have nine megabytes worth of mp3's for this game. Why do you need that much music for a 30 second map? Almost no maps get this big at all. Dota is less than a forth this size.

• Going past the memory weight, this game is very short. It is an interesting idea to redo a boss battle from a cinematic, but do more than one on a map. Make up some boss battles too if you like. i.e. "Hmm, what would happen if Arthas and Jaina were to have an epic showdown involving massive explosions and witty banter?" If this game had 10 or more battles in increasing order of difficulty, it would be more worth playing.

• The next problem is that your moves are stale. We have all (mostly) played the campaign; we know what Critical Strike looks like. If you add some new spells (search the spell section for ideas) or redo old ones rather than just level-filling, it adds interest to the game. Also, your Bladestorm lvl 2 is underpowered.

• Spice it up. Random events! New models! Distractions! Don't let the player get comfortable.

• The good news is that your few triggers look solid. It may be wise to move the Mannoroth transmission to a scripted event after the dialogue box has been selected. Either that or use "game time equals" rather than "wait 2.00 seconds" for the transmission.

I like the way you think. I also like that you included a credits box in the quest menu, even if it's just for you and your tester. Make me a better map and I'll be sure to give it a fair rating.

Okay, I'm going to use Power of the Horde/Credits then for music so it'll have a smaller size. And alright, I'll do more boss fights.

Thanks for the suggestion too, I'll lurk a bit here and find some custom spells and events/new models/distractions But what do you mean by distractions?

Thank you for the colorful review.

The word "Mannoroth" suckered me into this map, whatever im going to give this a download because of the seemingly good review

I really likes your map. Maybe you could add a two version? One being Mannoroth and the other being Grom Hellscream.

Add Another Thing... (HitchHiker's guide) Maybe you could also add different Models? I'm just saying man. But overall, I think your map is pretteh fine! 4/5

2/5.
It's a nice idea. I imagined of that battle being playable. But this shortness feels like incomplete. A whole level would do.
