Status: Rejected
Terrain, gameplay and triggers are bad.
Memory leaks, no custom spells, game interface wasn't edited at all, nothing unique to show.
Oh messages like this one should be removed!

• Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: The King Was *****!...

This looks pretty familiar to me, I think one of my friends made like exactly the same map just with Marines...

VICTORIES: if you held out by 3600 seconds, (i think that was the game time) you win!

You THINK? If you made this map YOU should know the time.

that is the one with the least bugs so other

If you know about the bugs, why dont you fix them?

(i haven't tried getting there. so i don't know if it'l work but i think it might.)

You havent tried out if it works? Did you even try your map?

For the description, it currently looks like a wall of text.
You should add screenshots and maybe a video.
Once you get a decent description I will review your map.

feel free to post any suggestions/leaks/bugs

No category? Seriously?

How much time did you spend making the map/description both seems pretty 'rushed'

(i haven't tried getting there. so i don't know if it'l work but i think it might.)
no i meant that if the undeads would get to the church
because the units/allies would try their best to stop the undead.
i will update this map as soon as i can, right now! lol
and i think i should put heroes for the undead too.

Okay so to test your Lose Condition trigger here, why dont you let the undead win?
For example, by removing all humans?

 

[FreeWayLemon]

Dont double post, edit instead.

Dont make it too long, it might get boring.
I would say 1800 seconds (half an hour) are fine for now.

can i ask you?
how many seconds do you prefer the humans should hold out?

Please improve the description; add colour, use tables, add screenshots, etc. Here's a list of BB Codes to help you. Also improve the terrain, seems really plain from the preview image. This map doesn't seem like it'll be approved anytime soon.

 

[WarManta]

OK, here is my feedback on the map:

- the game gets stuck, in other words undead will never win...
- ^ also in stuck, the units literally get Stuck in the middle of the kingdom
- here is a screen shot of the stuck

stucked

as you can see in this pic, there is space, and units just standing there

- Barracks (i think crypt also) have something to buy/train, but you cant because not enough food.....so instead of training an automatic already units, make an upgrade attack/armor/speed.
- There are shops that i just noticed that i could never reach again
- how about boss wave?
- Kill count maybe
- timer when the game will finish :S people may leave at the last min because they have no idea when the game will end
- Hero choice please
- Upgrade barracks/crypt for more and stronger units
- there are some parts that are plain.....you could make for the "undead" side, some graveyards and scourged farms. And for the left side of the castle some more farming area
- The map is all fogged and masked. How about, create a large region on the castle and give that region sight for the defenders. And for the undead, create a large region on their ground and give them sight over that location.
- The transport battle ships ? so they transfer units, and hit me :S. How about this, use their model but remove attack/damage
- For the hero paladin (thats the hero that i tried/tested) instead of bear cry, change it to "War Cry" sounds more "human" . And the heal let it be used on "Self" also
- are there lives, or just a unit goes to castle and tada i lost?
- ^ if there is lives, add how many lives left

Fix/add these things and your good to go

This is not trying to make people not to download, im just trying to help you to fix the problems so this map can be better

EDIT: looks like you updated your map description, looks like the "stuck" problem is from me because i couldn't defend well keep it up.

Some things you should fix:
-Cinematic at the start was nice but contains mild language, you must remove that to be approved(even if that was funny I lawl'd)
-Why are the creeps attacking us? Whats the story? Why are so many kids dieying lol
-There is a part where you zoom in a pillar that was extremelly annoying
-After the cinematic, cinematic mode keeps going on and off for a while
-Players get no guidance at all on how they should protect themselves, there is a tavern but you have to get someone there so you can buy the hero, in my opinion players should be able to already have one BEFORE the fight starts
-Explain us more on the story(you dont need to create a great story, just guide the players to know whats going on)
-Some music in the start would be nice LAWL

I wont rate it for now, gonna wait for updates

[DeadBoss]

Please stop wanging about the description oh god!

 

[mouseman89]

Description should be improved, add screens and a changelog also, you need to fix the memory leaks, there are TONS http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/basic-memory-leaks-5889/

Heres a tutorial on removing them, even thoughs its only 20 mins it will speed up loading and be good for those with crummy computers.

For gameplay: the intro was pretty funny but try to cut down on the swearing, much more likely to be approved. also i never could get a hero gonna replay and see if i can. there was some ghouls for player 11 in the top left, also the teleports only work on heros, and i couldnt move any of my forces to help defend the king with so i lost : /

EDIT: castle is misspelled in loading screen, and there is tons of tooltip missings for the heros in the tavern, fix that. also maybe add tiers for the barracks like human tier 2 NE tier 2 etc that has upgrades for units damage and armor and a more powerful unit or 2 plus a racial custom hero if you dont have a hero by than.

EDIT2: i dont know why i couldnt get a hero last game worked fine this time... anyway after level 10 you cant get any more abilitys, add an attribute bonus or something like that maybe? also i destroyed the crypts before the reinforcements came so they should be invulnerable until they come unless you were supposed to win there anyway.

 

[Orcnet]

Wow! I see some of my kabayan are doing great! LOL!
any plans on fixing your description? if you do, here's a link: BB Code List

"Galingan mo para madaigan mo si Icefrog pre!"

Translation

"Do your best to become better like icefrog my friend!"

 

[TheKurt009]

LOL!
i rushed the description coz i lost the earlier one, gonna fix it nao!

 

[snowman990]

Hey kurt just want to tell you,I think you should tell everyone when you update the map by editing the map description/post a new comment to this resource.like this :
Update:
-changed the wendigo model to flesh golem
-blah blah blah...
And yeah sorry for my bad grammar,I kinda dizzy now -.-"

 

[Magnet199]

Yeah, Discription can attract and scare people from your map
Use some BB codes, for color lovers
YouTube, for lazy people who dont like to read
Pictures, for more information of what your talking about
How To Play, to help newbies
Credits, every modeler wants his name if you use their model
Updates, so we know what you changed :S and the record of this map, like start from 1.0---->1.7 explain what happened during these time, what did you change/remove/fixed/added
^ do these and your perfect to go, i will test map now and will give you feedback.

EDIT: OK, i tested the map, here is what i got:

Stuff that are wrong:
- game starts, after cinematic, im looking at the castle......ok? i got lost
- then i wanted to buy a hero, you want to know what happened? all heroes i couldn't buy, their cool down was more then 20 MIN, seriously, and the only hero i can buy has food, i couldn't buy because i dont have food......

here look

- next, the bosses.....first boss, i saw him, then he runs away, he comes back, 2 hits, then goes back from were he came from, then come back walk away from fight and go straight to the castle, i barely hold him off to run away again, running away is not a problem, the problem is that the second boss can come also ye?

watch him run away

- then comes the push back, i pushed back all the undead, until i reached their own base, i toke out their unit source, but they still spawn -_-, so whats the point of the buildings that i can break but still work, how about making them Invulnerable?

see

- oh yeah, and final boss i didn't even fight him, game time passed and i won without even fighting him -_- so sad

Stuff that i liked and good:
- the idea is nice
- cinematic is nice
- terrain is nice

Suggestions/ideas:
- make more units for undead, because they are weak -_-
- HEROES PLEASE.....PLEASE!!!!
- more bosses
- make optional difficulty, like easy 15 min, medium 20 min, hard 25, very hard 30 min
- description better

Rate: 3/5
Rep: +1

Please fix them in the next updae so i can change the rate :S Thank You
