This bundle is marked as lacking. It fails to meet the standard requirements and may only have minor use.

DISCLAIMER: This is one of my sons first maps while he is still young. I will say this is pretty basic, but he said I need to post it here anyways.
(If anything it's uploaded online where I can download it if I ever were to loose it.)

He made a Standard Melee Map using his favorite units, Bandits. Let me know what you guys think. We made this about a year or two ago.

The Custom Version of my son's map. He wanted to make some alternative changes to the Humans using more Bandits to make it more interesting.
Heroes can level up to level 15 as well as Attribute bonus added to their respected Hero abilities.
Bandit mode, can be researched at the Town Hall, and costs nothing.
This allows you to train the Dark Knight Hero, replaces Riflemen into Brigands, Priests into Chaplain, Sorceress into Hydromancers, & Knights into Dark Knights.

Dark Knights & Dark Knight Hero are a new unit we created. the Dark Knight Hero is essentially Lord Garithos, but a playable hero instead of a campaign version. Hero abilities include: Shockwave, Divine Shield, Command Aura, and Summon Dark Knights.

Summon Dark Knights Ability is an Ultimate that summons 2 Dark Knight units for 60 secs.
Dark Knight Units are just a darker version of Knights

There also is a hidden Secret, Type -Garithos to summon Lord Garithos in the center of the map. Once he is defeated you can use the Rebirth to use him as a 4th playable hero. Previously we had a custom item that would drop and be used upon acquiring the item, but we recently switched to the Rune of Rebirth instead.

Review - Dreadlock
(Version August 9th 2023)
Synopsis: Dreadlock is a minor edit of the existing Blizzard map Deadlock. The edit turns the map into a fall theme and implements custom changes to units.
Map Aesthetics: The map looks visibly the same as the original map - albeit in colors of autumn. Simple edit.
Map Layout: No changes.
Neutral Objectives: No changes.
Map Gameplay: No changes in the standard version - some creeps might differ (maybe for the better). The altered version is rather lacking and simple execution of altered melee. While it implements changes, they are very simple and straightforward. The result of the touch of a new aspiring map maker perhaps?
Recommendations:
Fix the description to explain what the bundle contains (you already mentioned this in the comments, but it should be included in the map description on Hive. Also, please mention which map this is based on (Deadlock, by Blizzard Entertainment).
