Thank you for your kind words and for suggesting creating a Discord server.

While it could be nice, replayability values is quite low, only in terms of who you choose to play as.
Can teleport with a shipyard but can't get back without making one to where you teleported to. The same didn't happen with the portal.
Drek'thar has the same abilities as Thrall.

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.
