Updated to 2.03

General
-Fixed tutorial's beginning to stop overlapping transmission
-Forces tutorial to show with subtitles disabled



Updated to 2.02

General
-Added tutorial, Activate by typing -help after selecting an element

Earth
-Fixed Error with Petrification

Light

UPDATED TO 2.01
Version 2.00 was fixed from an extremely old version, 2.01 is an updated version of the original 1.24f

I apologize if anyone experienced massive lag while attempting to play 2.00, there were alot of leaks that were in the map that Darkwulfv helped remove, but when I fixed the map for the blizzard patch, I used the pre-darkwulfv version which had all the leaks and old trigger data. This version is the correct version with the proper credit's to the helpers as well.



UPDATED TO 2.00
Version has no change on gameplay, the update simply allows the map to be played on version 1.24b. Have fun with the map, maybe later I'll come back and add new things again.

I'll repeat, nothing has changed everything is the same from v1.24f



Changelog v1.24f

-Fixed the tech requirements for eagle form and ascend.
-Wind Rider's Arch and Strato Fortress now build their units in a Warp Circle that appears below them when built,
the progress meter show's on the Warp Circle.

Dark
-Shadow Embrace is now permanent, and costs resources. Embracing the twilight is now basically a taunt, your stating that you can destroy your opponents before you allow the night to end.

An unprotected version? Absolutely beautiful, it's been a long time since I saw this mod and I am very happy to see it getting some love again <3
Yup, didn't want this old map to be lost to time, and since I dropped development a long time ago, figured it's time to just let someone else dig around it.

I'm actually conceptualizing a standalone sequel, was going to make it for warcraft 3, but with blizzards policy change, I'd probably be better off making it through unity or something.

Either way, glad to see someone is excited to play this again, I hadn't noticed that the map was unplayable for so long, was probably due to the shitty map protection I used for it. But thankfully I found my old external harddrive that held the latest unprotected version, decided to just upload that since map protection doesn't really matter to me anymore.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely disappointed in the policy change from Blizzard, but I guess I don't mind it so much. Like, I don't like it, but I'll probably still make things.

It's definitely a good thing that you were able to find an unprotected version, it's a little strange to think how long it must have been since I saw this map before.
