Your description is short, doesn't tell me how to play and it isn't clear of what the map is about. Judging from the screenshot, the map doesn't seem good in terms of the terrain.

Your description is short, doesn't tell me how to play and it isn't clear of what the map is about..

I agree, the name doesn't sound bad though i wonder if you meant to put a Y after Valle, but description is next to nothing in detail. And if i'm considered a grammer nazi for this, so be it. The grammer in the current description is appaling. Speaking from experience the first thing a tester/critic/anyone looks at is the description. If its plain/short and with bad grammer they will not take the game seriously. they will say get a better screenshot and then leave.

Judging from the screenshot, the map doesn't seem good in terms of the terrain.

I suppose that is true. But i follow the saying never judge a book by its cover. Before i comment on ANYTHING in the game I must try it.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Horrible, just horrible.

Terrain is pretty bad, no tile variation whatsoever. Green DISBTNs everywhere. No credit to Icon authors. Blizzard Items with edited price. Et cetera.

I simply cannot comprehend why I wasted my time to actually download and test this... I dunno what is this to be exact. It's simply a lost cause.

Better scrap this off and start anew.

senlos map is unfinished and that is rule breaking at first place, then you must explain this:
Created by By_X-CRAZY ; Uploaded by: senlos
But if we forget about that let me show you some bad stuff!

Map Description is horrible, check this map for example: Scars of War
Dude lost 1 hour to make that, but people can see all about map, check some pictures etc etc, they will just ignore your map when they saw it!
Few pictures and change log don't work!

The importance of a Description

Terrain is very poor, you must add more tiles, more doodads in first place!
Blizzard Cliffs are really poor! Add some special effect like doodads, lightning effect like doodads! Whole Terrain should be re created!

Various Terraining Tips! [17 Sep 2009 21:59]Revolve

Well I attached links to few tut here on THW and to their Authors!
Some are easy some are for advanced users!

Some have little to do with terrain some much more!
Pls at least scroll down each one just to check pictures!

If you really want to learn how to terrain, check also other sites like
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/
http://www.wc3c.net/
and others...

open maps, check terrain contest etc etc, check terrain board and people showcases, explore user albums, search Hive... You can always ask some user for help, join to Chat room sometimes (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/apps.php?p=gochat)

2 Much work to do right...

Bad Triggers, Memory leaks, will ruin your game, because awesome lag will crush game, and bugs will become so bothering!

• Hero select 5
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 011 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 016 <gen>), facing Default building facing degrees

This one create location leak when unit enter to that region! Check tutorials attached below!
Btw there are few triggers (20 max), all of them can be put into 5 or 6 instead!

Poor UI, Bad ability descriptions, lumber icon, Low Upkeep and so on!
Green icons, just very bad!

No Multiboard

No Quest Log

No any kind of custom spells/systems, damn this is RPG!
Grrr check Polishing Your Game

Game Play is horrible, 10 items, low gold, 1 ability per hero and they are all same!
Summon Water Elemental (you even didn't changed name in Learn Tooltip)
Also you can see only 3 levels there!

Whole game is just pick hero, and summon, kill!

Always give credits to people that helped you BECAUSE THERE IS NO CREDITS IN YOUR MAP AND YOU USED CUSTOM CREATED ICONS!
Crediting Tutorial

Now About THW, because you are new here, so let me present this site to you,
please READ this:
The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• THW Chat

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

Also:
If map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

If this helped you even a little then my work here is well done
