Burning Skies
Story "After Arthas and Kel'thuzad manages to defeat Antonidas and stole the Book of Medivh, they prepared to summon Archimonde, but the Kirin Tor will not give up without a fight, so Arthas decides to protect Kel'thuzad while he breaks the chains between both worlds to summon the Demon Lord." Unique Features [1] Dalaran-ish Terrain [2] More Variation of Troops for Both Sides [3] Different Scales of Difficulty [4] Additional Quests [5] New Skills and Heroes [6] 3 Players Gameplay [7] Endless Mode, show your best abilities to fulfill the task from the great Lord Archimonde Play-style Same as original, the duration however, can be chosen by the player in the highest slot in slot order (from P4 to P5 to P6), same as difficulty. Easy, Normal, and Hard Difficulty are now altered to fit the 3 player system. There's also an Endless Mode to test your talent, care to survive for hours against the human resistance and keep defending Kel'thuzad? Undead AI Notes [1] AI isn't really well made at the moment [2] AI won't be much of help exceeding 30-45 minutes, they're mostly crippled by then [3] AI don't use Heroes to Max, they did use them for bolstering defenses however.

1. There are green squares as icons for T10 something in the Quest Log on the Optional Quests section. They only have numbers: 1. 2. 3. etc. as a description.
2. So, yeah some icons don't have DISBTN. Learn about them here:
Button Manager v1.8.2
BLP Lab v0.5.0
Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
How to Make an Icon
3. Would be useful to know what every difficulty offers. Same with the game duration. What does it mean that you play 15 minutes. Is every enemy attack condensed or you lose content if you only play 15 minutes?
4. Maybe, you could create more optional quests as some sort of achievements with rewards. Example: don't lose any buildings in the first 10 minutes or destroy particular enemy buildings/units, something like that.
5. I'm not sure about enemy unit variation. Maybe, there should be more kinds? I also mean, that every base has the same hero: the Archmage.
6. The Footman doesn't have a portrait for some reason. You might have used another model. The original one is fine.
7. Footmen paratroopers!?
8. Some of the units that come through the Dalaran portal remain near the gates or somewhere on the way if they are attacked during their path towards the player bases. Actually this also happens with units that come from the other bases (example the eastern one) without them being attacked/hit on their way.
9. For some reason... (playing with Arthas/purple), my Acolytes and Ghouls were taken from their resource gathering activity near Kel'Thuzad when he was attacked by Footmen...
10. Some units like the Skeleton Elite Archer have their selection scale too big.
11. Wave of Death Coils says it stuns for 0 seconds. Also, try not using the same icon for different spells.
12. Corruption Blow, you can turn the icon to passive looking with the program I've mentioned above (same with Death Strike).
13. If you cannot choose when to release the spells of Falric's ultimate, at least make some sort of indicator over his head or somewhere to know when the explosion is approaching.
This is fun in multiplayer.
Approved.

1. It was a left-over from 0.1.3 development, I will fix it1. There are green squares as icons for T10 something in the Quest Log on the Optional Quests section. They only have numbers: 1. 2. 3. etc. as a description.

2. Interesting, I'll take a look
3. Mostly the amount of enemy that attacks and some handicapping
4. Nice idea, I'll consider it
5. Well, it's Dalaran
blame Blizz for using Archmage a lot there I'll consider having heroes that constantly attack, unique from these Archmage parade
6. Kind of liked the Beta, but whatever. Too lazy for portrait, so changing it back
7. Well, since teleport is SO OVER USED
8. Interesting, I think I should use unit groups
9. That's odd, I'll take a look on the matter
10. And here I thought that unit has proper scaling
11. Must've been a tooltip error. I'll find another icon
12. Will change the latter, fix the former
13. Now that you mention it, that would be a nice idea. Need to dig the old code though

Maybe you could just put the Footman portrait or request someone to make one for that model? (Requests)
Or just have regions with periodic events that force them to move.
Forgot to mention the Necromancer and Banshee-like upgrades for the Ziggurat. I'm not sure they look too good or are such a nice idea. Maybe, use other models for towers (also search: Models | HIVE). I'd try to make them as distinct from other existing units/gameplay objects in general (basically if you have Banshees that do what they do, there's no need for a tower to do almost the same).
You could even create special upgrades (damage, HP etc., abilities, whatnot) for towers especially for harder difficulties.

I noticed this in one of my tests too and having a hard time narrowing it down to the trigger source. I will list this as known bugs in the next release.
Thank you for the praise! It's an honor.

Next version will be released tomorrow. As per 1.2, the map requires 1.29 to be played. I will left 1.1 file for those who plays in older patches. Be aware the major bug in 1.1 has been fixed in 1.2 and the older patches will not receive this fix.
