Hell_Master: Improve your descriptions. All it contains are personal opinions of yours and such. It should contain a brief introduction of the game, it's gameplay, lore (if it has one), screenshots to show some terrain and gameplay screenshots (optional though but I suggest you to put some) and credits to give thanks to the users you have used their resources with.

Updated! Better description, now what's left is for me to test it.

Map has no ratings and this is Rejected. See here on my review for informations: Review. Please do take this to the Map Development and work this out until this is finished so you can submit it here once again when it is fully completed or in a state of feeling complete. Until then, as I've said, Rejected.

I see you improved the description but there are so many typos and such so I did some fixing in it and improvements... now, what's left is for me to test it. Good luck!

P.S: I also changed the map type to RPG seeing in your descrption that it is ORPG. But that might change once I played the map.

Unfortunately, this map is really terrible! Here are the main reasons:-

- No victory or defeat conditions, just the common Melee Initialization with some triggers deleted. So this means that the game lasts forever and no events will happen!
- Very flat terrain, very badly used tile variation and a strong lack of doodads
- No quests to tell me what to do
- The fortress Orgrimmar and the orcish barracks Razor Hill are so huge that I can enter inside them like a ghost!
- All hero abilities are blizzard ones, nothing new
- The game is really boring and has nothing innovative or something making this game different from any other one

SUGGESTIONS:-
- Read a lot of tutorials about terraining and how to create successful ORPGs
- You must put a quest that tells me what to do
- Use pathing blockers to stop me from entering in the buildings. They are in the Doodads Palette ---> Pathing Blockers ---> Choose "Pathing Blocker (Ground) (Large)"
Apply them all around the buildings and the problem will be resolved
- New abilities and heroes, not old ones
- Put AT LEAST a victory and defeat condition
- Apply something that makes the game exciting
- I recommend you to use custom models and icons

OVERALL RESULT:-
In conclusion, this map is really horrible. It's the classic cheap map which can be done in a few minutes. Mah, 0.5/5 and vote for SURE REJECTION!

You should know some bad things about this website:-

1- Some people don't really care how much time you took and how much effort you put in a map, they only care of the quality of the result
2- Not everyone will be more generous just because this is your first map

With these things being said, good luck for the update!

Okay played the map and I, as a player did not even enjoy this. You have allies with you yet they are your enemies. It seems you forgot to tick Allies on the Force Properties with each forces.

It's very easy also to get lost in this game for there are no guidelines or quests to guide you whatsoever. Enemies even are not edited and does not even pose a challenge. When you are pretty much high level, you can solo this. There is no teamwork into this. Most of the dungeons are not enterable also.

Items are all plain warcraft 3 standard items. In RPG, it is always recommended to bring something new into the items in my own point of view. And even the items does not help you on most fight for your hero is just more than enough to slay all of the creatures.

Terrain is also pretty bad. It lacks tile variations, empty environment or lack of details, flat terrain, ugly usage of Blizzard Cliffs, and more problems and faults can be found in your map. I suggest you to use the terrain tools at the Terrain Palette for fixing the tile variations, flat terrain and blizzard cliff problems. Use the Doodad palette and please do give details to the terrain. For a barren terrain, to be honest, there are many doodads/destructibles that can be placed on the terrain itself. Lots of possibilities.

Overall, this map lacks most of the key elements of an RPG such as: quests, a proper reason of everything (what are you doing in Durotar? What is the story behind all of these?), useful items in fights and dungeon crawling, lack of dungeons and lastly, map looks incomplete.

This gets a 0/5 from me and Rejected. Please do work this out on the Map Development (link above on Daffa's post).

@All
Just a clarification also, I edited his description to be much more organized but I agreed to all of you that it still needs more work.

So for the author, please do try to learn BB Codes and do construct also a decent description into this. Use the description that I edited as a guideline or a start for making it better. Best of luck!
