An overall boring map, in my opinion. You build, you get income, you train units and you fight. That allied to a boring terrain led to my 1/5 (Unacceptable) rating on this map, and so its Rejection.

The table may vary if needed.

Originality: 4/10 X
A castle vs castle map seen numerous times before. You had your addons but in overall it can't distinct itself from the rest.

Object editor work: 5/10 √
The tooltips were proper, however no hotkeys for unit when building them.

Bug Free: X
We didn't play it to the end.

Terrain: 2/10 X
The terrain was bad, first of all the city terrain:
How to terrain a city - Wc3campaigns
The outdoor terrain was a mess, to plain:
- It was flat, use height variation
- Not enough dodoads
- To little trees

Scripting: 5/10 √
The scripting was average:

- Gate opening, it is abusable, the dialog isn't the best solution
- You could add a multiboard of some sort

Gameplay/Fun Factor: 3/10 X
The fun factor lacks:

- No heroes, fighting with units isn't so interesting
- Not enough buildings
- Not enough building space
- The income goes to slow

Lag: 9/10 √
Fast loading time, no lag.

Proper submission and crediting: 2/10 X
Not enough info, images. You need to put more text here at The Hive.

In overall: 30 / 70
43% minimal 50% not met.
For the hive grade: 1/5 I suggest this map for: Rejection
-------------------------------------------------
In overall a Castle war map that has an idea, but lacks everything else. You need improvements for sure. Work more on your map, especially the terrain and heroes.

Good Luck, bounty hunter2

"Castle Kampf", by Mischamick.
A map where there are 2 teams, and the various players all have different parts to play for their team to win.

In my opinion, the game is confusing. It was a good idea to make all the players have a different purpose, but it is somewhat dull, and there's nothing that hooks the players to the map. It forces the players to play some more times,

That allied to a boring terrain, and many unnecessary units, leads me to give a 1,5/5 (approximately 2 (Lacking)) rating to this map, and thus suggesting its Rejection.
