Encounter at Outland

You might want to write more about the gameplay in the description.
Is it intended for the map to have the Open Source tag? Are you allowing others to edit and reupload their version?

Spell descriptions aren't proper. They should specify the max level of each spell or the details/values (as with Polymorph). Also, Invisibility has no tooltip in the learn ability menu.

Tooltip Tutorial

This is a tutorial about tooltips and related subjects. So you may ask these: What are "TOOLTIPS"? Tooltips are what you see and read when you try to learn an ability, try to buy a unit or item, try to use an item or ability and information of a certain item or ability, passive or...

Creating Good Descriptions

Well, I'm Mialee from Brazil and you're about to read a tutorial about how to create good heroes to your map. Do not expect a 100% correct grammar since my country doesn't speak english. ------------------------------------------ 1. Introduction 2. Making a good hero description 3...

How do you place the camera back up if you reset it? There should be some information in the quest log about things.
The barrels in the Sanctuary don't have any description.
The Elven Acumen upgrade should have a non-passive looking icon. You can make it look so with: Button Manager v1.8.2
Healing Shell's buff is Rejuvenation. Generally, the spells are just renamed Warcraft III ones.
Heroes that use unit instead of hero models like Dax should have glow. You can simply add it: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
You don't really have space to build the resource storage building near mines. You'd have to cut trees down first and stuff.
Guard Towers can be built over anything, doodads, shallow water, buildings etc.
The Sanctuary upgrades and stuff need to be properly positioned. The barrel icons move down when you upgrade the stuff that's down below.

Generally, it's a nice altered melee map that could use some more custom stuff as right now it's pretty much using usual Warcraft III material and the player has few things to joggle with.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Hey, thank you so much for such an in-depth look! As I don't have the time and inspiration at the moment, I labeled the map open source so that if anyone with more experience would take a liking to the map, they can feel free to improve it, not just clean up my mistakes but adding content as well.

If I personally need to fix the map before it is approved, is there a time limit to this?

Thanks,
Dennis

Generally, it's three months but it's highly dependent on reviewer/moderator attention to the awaiting update list

Ok, I will fix what you pointed out and add new features as so much time already went into this and I have some ideas.

Really liked it, well done !
I would say though there is so much to discover on the map by the time you explored most of it, AI is in that end of game mode where it just kind of stops trying.
Also for that many enemies you're not attacked that often, AI are perpetually fighting those demon creeps that keep spawning.
I got rekt a few times (I didn't see that old god wave coming) but still had the opportunity to explore a very well done map.
