Map need to be improved, memory leaks, poor descriptions, bad terrain. Unbalanced items.

You should have read the Rules first before releasing your map Resource Rules Beta releases are not allowed dude, well good luck with your map making

EDIT: also try using this BB code for you to give a good description about your work. like about the Gameplay, Screenshots, and more.

That's the most awkward and weirdest rating I've ever seen, your trying to say that your rate is 0.6/10 but when you sum them all up its actually 6/50 right

See, your map isn't real fun or creeative or special, it needs quite a lot of immproving to do, and honestl I recommend you to abandon this idea completely since it's immposible to make an original AoS these days with so not much of gaming experience.
Also you should immprove the description and fix the category. Seriously, you haven't provided any information about your map itself.

So my recommendation would be stoping mapmaking for some time now, immproving your overall skills by practicing a bit and reading tutorials and Hiveworkshop and then starting a new map with more originality and higher quality.

 

[Orcnet]

agree with tleno, you should start from scratch dude, or should I say make another, its for your own good to have a good map and attractive to viewers, well don't be down to what I've said, well good luck!

So, Orcnet, what you're trying to say is that this map deserves a 1.2/10 ...
Doesn't make a difference.

My rating: 3/10

DotE? Is that Defense of the Elves?

It looks like DotA. You should try to make something original. If you wanna use the same terrain as DotA, you can, but make sure your map is almost entirely different when it comes to gamers experience, features, sounds, tooltips.......

You should try to avoid the mistakes that IceFrog made with DotA. He never even bothered to fix the formatting mistake he made with Phase Boots and Arcane Boots.

You shouldn't aim for something as good as DotA. You should aim for what's higher.

In a years time, people will look at DotA 6.72 and think "wtf? this sux". Please. Take my advice.

Aim for progression rather than imitation.

If you wanna improve this map, you should create custom heroes with custom spells. Try implementing spells from the hive! They're all awesome. But make sure you implement MUI spells only, and don't forget to give credits. It's annoying, but you have to! ( I have a list of ~60 people i have to credit )

Good luck with this map.

what I actually meant here is that rating maps must be fixed and promise, not showing it in a bad post while the user will get confused to what its trying to say.

for an example, I told him a lot of doodles such as work /5, fixing /5, manage /5 which overall is 15, and I only told him "this one sucks! -1/15" that's definitely wrong! show the user what must be done instead of a quick post that will do nothing but waste time.

 

[bhusta]

Sorry for that. After playing I was at the end of one's rope and i did not have much time. The poor reply is the result. 0.6 is the average of my ratings.

Akhetaton, you should maybe create first a development threat in the forum. So you can avoid bad replies and get some tips from other members.

 

[Akhetaton]

Guys I really, really appreciate your opinions and I am currently formulating an "official" uploading of the map

 

[Orcnet]

^bhusta
that's okay! no harm done
^Akhetaton
sure do your thing

 

[light bolt30]

This would be better off in the Map Development Forums.

At first when people start map making (or untill they are disent mapmakers)they should never aim as high as trying to make a map like this because considdering that this map requires a lot of different heros, desent triggering, abbilitys, items, terraining skills, making different types of stratigies and somewhat art skills. just remember if your gona start on a nother epic project or stay with this one itll take alot more longer to make than just starting of more simple and going on with this later. what im just saying is that its taken me 1-2 years to get up to this stage (probably because im just 14 years old at this stage).
