no its not about avatar its a diffrent thing

This is not topic to be discussed in map development. Lets talk about why you've decided to create only three elements. Storm, earth and fire, it's because of song? =D

idk i didn't had ideas to add any new ones

no its not about avatar its a diffrent thing

Please don't go off-topic in your own thread. Also I suggest you update this thread and put some more effort into pictures, formatting headers etc, otherwise I will treat this as just another one of your spam projects.

Is Elementalium meant to represents the three elements as a singular faction or as three different factions?

Your current development thread is barely giving sufficient information to correctly interpret what the map is about. I originally take it as Altered Melee but after some re-reading, I think it is akin to RTS/Risk?

In the World of Elementalium Storm Earth and Fire Races fight against Eachother to Collect the Powerfull Artifact called the "Disc of Elementalfury"

This statement also doesn't really clear the 'What is Elementalium?' question you asked yourself. Had I not double read this statement, I thought this is pure altered melee race in a melee map, but this one doesn't seem to be the case.

While this is a Map Submission Rules thing, I would say it still is valuable for Map Development threads:

1. Good Detailed Description

Include thorough, detailed information on what the map is about, its features, and how to play it.
Recommended: Screenshots, videos, changelog, and organized formatting (BB Codes, Description Guide - Maps).

Making your description as detailed as possible help people deduce what your map is about, how far your current progresses are, and how others who are interested in contributing can contribute. Providing a test map is also recommended in Map Development so we can provide feedback on the current progress which can help the project.

fire earth and storm races are 3 diffrent factions

This statement also doesn't really clear the 'What is Elementalium?' question you asked yourself. Had I not double read this statement, I thought this is pure altered melee race in a melee map, but this one doesn't seem to be the case.

fire earth and storm races fight eachother and they need to collect the powerfull artifact called the "Disc Of ElementalFury"

Why does a fire elemental race have structures that generate blight on the ground? And why is there a siren among their units?

"Fire race consists of Lava Spawns Fire and Flame fiends Infernals and Other various Fire creatures"
Of that little, I see orcs, undead, nerubians, a shadow... And everything ultra saturated in red.

I mean, having models like THIS at your disposal for a fire race, you use generic models that have nothing to do with it and saturate them with red? An obelisk, a tent... I don't understand anything. I just did a 1 minute search and found a lot of things that might be useful to you:

Mo'arg Overlord Skeleton Fire Warior Mage Demonic Brethren Hellstone Golem Brutal Lord Core Hound Demonish Bulwark / Bastion / Citadel Gronn​

Demon Tower Dragon-priest Lord of Darkness Fire Missiles Rain of Fire among hundreds more that are on the forum...​

My friend, put in a little effort, at least spend a couple of minutes looking for models, it seems like you're just laughing at the forum...

Regards.

welp i dont wanna use custom models because i dont want to add like every single custom model or an icon so i used stuff to look like fire units so i used

bloodfiends drak'thul and warlord because theyre red

the green siren looks like an infernal because shes green "yep stupid"

the nerubian spider has orange parts "nonsense"

the acolyte here is a hero named "Heretic"

Chaos Space Orc is here as an Ultimate to Heretic "why chaos space orc welp what he is carrying?"

i gave the fire race red dragons because theyre cool i guess

and yeah everything on this screenshot is a mess

What should I answer you? You say: "I don't wanna use custom models because I don't want to add like every single custom model or an icon so I used stuff to look like fire units so I used" What do you want me to answer to that? Everyone has told you what to do and how to do things, you don't do them because you don't want to or because you're lazy. If you had questions or gave REASONABLE arguments, then you could debate or help you, but you literally don't feel like making an effort or learning. What do you want me to answer? And on top of that, you play the victim, as if they said things to you in a bad way or left you bad reviews for no reason. I don't know, once again, what do you want me to say?

Take a look at the forum, for example THIS POST from a user who is making a custom race. If you're interested, read my comments and apply them to yourself. I doubt it will help you, though, because what I'm basically saying is that a custom race requires a lot of work and it doesn't feel like you're up for it. But hey, if you want to keep uploading stuff like the ones you've uploaded, you're free to do so, but don't play the victim as if we're all evil ogres who hate you.

Regards.

PS: I guess you've been told this a thousand times, don't double post, use the edit button.

PS 2: Importing more than 700 files like I have in my current project, YES is a lot of work.

With all due respect, let me add my two cents. The selection of models and icons is indeed an essential part of developing an altered melee race. The fire theme is a noble choice for shaping the concept of a new race in an original setting. However, this feels more like a super early concept rather than a finished implementation.

That said, high-quality visuals can always be added later once the core mechanics are well-polished—unless the creator takes a firm stance against imports. Right now, this is reminiscent of 2003-era map-making, when the first custom models were just emerging, and options were limited. Today, custom races can look absolutely stunning! But more importantly, they need to bring innovative and engaging mechanics.

P.S. Out of curiosity, I checked my own project files: 1,192 files across 177 directories, and the full project (three maps) currently sits at 3,547 files and 515 directories. And I’m just getting started… I’d be really interested in hearing some critical feedback on my project!

I wish you the best of luck in all your projects, although you don't need it, warcraft 3 rememberer human/orc are a marvel. I'm just a amateur but I try to make my resources not look so ridiculous And well, despite what some may think, I really hope that SebaTheLord and all the new ones in this of creating custom content for wacraft 3 continue forward and improve day by day. Although obviously, if they don't want to, neither I nor anyone else can do anything.

This forum today has a very high standard, and it's normal, we've been creating custom content for this game for 20 years, it's logical that not just anything is worth it like before.

Regards.

Oops… Warcraft 3 Rememberer isn’t my project—I only helped the creator with models. My own project is WarCraft Legends!

To avoid going off-topic...

Author, please take a look at my project as an example of working with imports. It’s not perfect—far from perfect—but some work has been done. Also, check out the import structure; it might be useful for managing multiple custom races. Everything is organized into directories and subdirectories, so I always know where each model and texture is located.

That said, there’s a downside—when using models with custom textures, I have to manually adjust file paths to fit the project’s structure...
