Dark Forest

[deepstrasz]

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Dark Forest

Why is the username different from the author? Is the map yours or have you uploaded someone else's work?

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

The neutral hostile camps are not mirrored and that creates imbalance, some players reaching better loot or having more trouble getting experience in the early-mid game.
Overall, a simple edit with renamed regular abilities.

Simple.

Her name is too long.

I notice that all heroes of this is female,Is this intentional?
Genally its ok,I will provide more feedbacks after I really play it.

The name of the tavern is inspired by a character of mine called Queiras and his bar is frequented by many women. It's a tribute.

Oh, I'll fix the name of the High Priestess, it really was too long, good observation. I am open to suggestions and constructive criticism. I'm glad you're playing on the map!

Some advice:
①Moon Glaivier is bad,firstly,its model was used to Draenei，Secondly,its skill is puzzling,2 of them copy from wd,ult is hurricane?You cant imagine elune will give her such power.In addition,naga siren dont have hero glow and use normal model,she looks like a noraml unit.
②I test all the custom creeps except those gold mines bossed,genally,naga queen is not strong for her medium armor,but that lord(forget his name) is crazy indeed,he summon 2 lvl 10 dragons,finally he kill all my troops——70 food tier 2 and 3 lvl 5 heroes.Surely u can design a op boss,but I think u d better add some description for this in F9.Btw,according to the model of naga queen, maybe her drop item should be named as"xx scapter".
③And u should avoid unbalance of Birth point,in this game I born in the west,so I must use almost 1 min to get heroes from heaven.And the bosses is far from me.Imo,u can try to add some extra bosses like queen and lord to upgrade.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I will take it into consideration.

There's a lore I'm creating based on this map, so some things might seem strange like a draenei serving Elune.

This map is different from conventional melee maps in terms of player distribution across the map, which may lead to a slight imbalance for players who are further away from bosses that drop secret items. This will force them to move faster and take risks to kill the bosses as quickly as possible, it is definitely a challenge, but I may change this in the future.

I hope you have fun with your friends and family.
