An AoS-Style map based on the World of Warcraft Universe.
Fight in yet another epic battle between the forces of Azeroth in a struggle for the worlds diminishing resources. Fight as the Horde, or the Alliance in a team-based and co-operative assault against the opposing team.
This is an early release of the map so there's much to be updated, however, it's fully playable in it's current state and makes for an interesting play online

I don't like the hero choose system. Of course it looks very good, but id doesn't seem very comfortable (don't know if I chose word correctly). I think it can be done in any other way =)
nice map but i don't like the small number of heroes to choose, the small amount of items and the undead random event, and the lich king is an overlord, i'm sure there is a top 20 models and there is a lich king there, the archer ultimate skill is the most useless skill and the only way to use it without killing yourself is to find a spot which is hard for players to quit but you will get surrounded and still die in the end.
Well anyway would be fun to actually do some quests and get experience from creeps and objectives, but instead of killing off the other team.
Just my ideas I like sharing.
Oh and a guild feature where you can actually go and kill off powerful creeps without having to risk the battle between the Horde and Alliance.
I had some free time and decided to play you'r map. I only played by myself and I have some complaints but overall I had a fun time playing it and thought it was rather well-done.
The best part of this map. You captured the cataclysm aspect perfectly and the environment as a whole seemed to blend together. The Alliance castle was especially well done. The environment was a little plain in some areas; which was particularily odd considered it's supposed to be a jungle which means lots of dense overgrowth.
Overall good to see an AoS with something more than half-assed terrain...
Positive
+ environment blends well together
+ excellent use of raise and lower tools
+ water and lava were well done
+ well placed trees and rocks
+ alliance base is epic ^-^
Negative
- some spots were plain and un-detailed
Score
7.5/10
Interface
Most alright, nothing spectacular. There are lots of small things you need to fix up (mistakes and just overall polish). The multiboard was rather dissapointing, it should show alot more info imo.
Positive
+ quest log is appropriately modified and gives tips/hints
+ an active multiboard is in use (but doesn't show much)
+ spelling and grammer is correct (from what I saw)
Negative
- gold, lumber, and food tooltips did not match map
- lumber and food slots were unused
- a few incorrect buff tooltips (rally, slow)
- empty player slots still show in multiboard
- epic items don't give ability descriptions
- learn tooltips don't say how much mana they cost
- multiboard gives little information
Score
2/5
Gameplay
This AoS has some very unique ideas and I think they are implemented well. However there are plent of AoS aspects that this map needs to work on (items for example)
Positive
+ random special events were a great idea and kept the map interesting
+ control point idea is great and allows players to be more flexible with how they spend their time
+ alliance and horde theme was implemented well and added alot to the game
+ the class I played had great spell effects
Negative
- creep waves start wayyyy too early (I barely had time to pick a hero)
- xp radius needs to be decreased (I was gaining levels while standing at the epic shop or in my base)
- need dissipate timers on random event units (infernals that are dropped at some remote region of the map stay there forever)
- only 14 equippable non-epic items and it's an AoS...
- no equipment advancement or customization
- the increased ms of mounted units is pointless since they just reach the opposing teams wave too soon and get slaughtered
- there was no archer on the middle tower, so what is the point of capturing it? (I guess visibility)
- after playing and finishing a game I still have absolutely no idea how to do side-quests or enter the dungeon-style area (multiplayer option only?)
- you need to make it so the upgrade shop can be accessed from anywhere on the map
Score
11/15
Balance
A few notable issues with this (particularily involving heroes) but the general creep waves are pretty much balanced and I didn't have many complaints)
Positive
+ creep balance between teams is done right
+ creep balance between towers is done right
+ creep balance agaisn't hero abilities is done right
+ towers were somewhat difficult to capture in the beginning but easy and soloable by the end (as they should be)
Negative
- creeps are extraordinarily strong in the beginning and it's nearly imposible to get a killing blow in w/o using an abilitiy
- auto-attack is way too weak and needs to be buffed
- abilities for the Death Knight were mundane and didn't seem to go well together (no synergy). I felt like by the end of the game I was just spamming whatever wasn't on CD with no thought into what I was doing at all.
Score
3/5
Innovation
This map offers more new than old while still holding on to the AoS-feel
Positive
+ creep waves have many different creep types which makes combat interesting
+ having to adapt to special events was fun and exciting
+ "loot" idea with special events was great (but you need to add a dissipate timer to the loot)
+ although I never actually figure out how to enter a dungeon or do side-quests the idea is very cool and very innovative and would require players to have to balance between risking the enemy team pusing forward and yet getting phat lootz from quests and bosses.
+ creep ugrade system was a good idea but you need to have more options and it needs to be accessible from anywhere on the map (especially if you'r fighting in the middle and need that extra royal guard push)
Negative
- nothing new (infact alot lacking) as far as items go
- heros had more abilities than usual but overall it was the same old thing as far as heros go
Score
4.5/5
End Review
Overall I really liked this map. It needs some work in a few areas and I hope you get around to improving it (though i've heard you have moved on to SC2 and will no longer be doing WC3 :/ ). Good luck with your' mapping, once I finish my current project I will be moving over to SC2 as well and joining u guys over at UDmod ^-^.
Also, I only did this review to give my general feedback and overall suggestions. So if anybody feels the need to flame and pick apart my review then go ahead, knock yourself out.
Well anyway would be fun to actually do some quests and get experience from creeps and objectives, but instead of killing off the other team.

Nice well developed map. The terrain is incredibly outstanding, especially the cliffs. And amazing skins as well. It's nice to have more DotA styled maps. Keep op the good work man!

Im completly agree... Why can't we face the dwarfs in theyr base and furbolgs? That is one thing that is Boooring that you can't... Without it, it are a bit boring but the map is good. so i give a 3,5/5
map is great i played it at least 10 times. but:
-team colors are very bad and i cannot see well on mini map where are the creeps , alliance has same color as water and horde has same color as terrain.
-also you should make creeps a lot weaker, during the counter offense of creeps it happens that there are over 50 creeps in group and they are veery hard to stop.
I hope you fix the leaks in the following triggers as soon as possible:
Undead Defense
Ignore Armour
Soul Burn
Sword Throw
Death
All triggers in control points folder
I'd also like to see more custom, triggered spells. I played the mage, and with Siphon mana, Phoenix, Flame Strike, mana regen aura and Soul Burn, it just is a Jaina/Kael hybrid and not a unique, interesting hero.
