I will not be replying to any comments here
unless it's hive staff, please use the discord link
provided above if you're looking for a conversation.
Abandonment InfoHistoryFirst and foremost this is a remake so this project is a re-write from scratch, the author "ShadeGabriel/Sifonseal" has abandoned the map, please refer to the original Founders of the North 1.24 thread for any other information about it. Reforged is a broken mess expect problems it's going to take some time and not all content/features have been implemented/reworked. There has been a few so-called remakes but in my opinion they have gone away from the original concept therefore I'm not interested in other map comparisons this is done for the people that want a continuation of Founders of the North. Any new information will be posted in the discord so if you're looking for clarity I would try going there.
Map InfoRequires: Warcraft III The Frozen Throne or Reforged (Classic graphics recommended)
Single-player or Multi-player?
Both but there is still some missing content from the original, it's a work in a progress.
Basic description:
In a land of countless perils and infinite opportunities you begin your journey. A world where the Church wars the Northern Pagans, where trade flourishes throughout the lands, a world where crafts and trades fill the days and wolves control the night. Founders of the North is a map where you seek to rise from a lowly wanderer to become a great lord of the north, where you end up and how you get there is entirely up to you, but never forget that you are not alone in the north. Founders gives players a chance to explore a highly interactive world that is full of lore as well as majestic and harsh, such is the North. Founders can be played many ways, as a free-for-all battle royal over control of the north, played with politics, alliances, loyalty and backstabbing, you can even play co-op and defend the north from a common enemy…
Features:
Economics, Companionship, Hunting, Fishing, Farming, Herding, Gathering, Alchemy, Merchantry, Banditry, & more.

Just a heads up your Discord link isn't working right because I click on it and just get a blank page. Ok now the link works thank you.

Really glad someone is picking up the map! One of my favourites for sure. Someday Solar Conquest and Planetary Domination will have someone pick them up too 
My understanding it that you just have the original terrain and object data, and that you are rebuilding most triggers from scratch? It is a massive task and it is obviously WIP, but I really hope you keep up the good work.
Edit: feedback moved to Discord.

Whilst I'm glad this map is getting updates honesty, in it's current state it feels very unfinished. For example, the quest's straight up don't work as far as I can tell. The profession system is also kind of limiting considering the most effective way to play is to participate into almost every profession in some way.

I was trying to check the abandonment information links you provided in the description, but I could not find a note or announcement from the original authors stating that this project has become open-source and free to edit.
@JaysProjex please provide proof that clearly indicates that you have received the permission to recreate the map or that the authors have released the map to be discontinued and publicly free-to-edit?

The original author ghosted the entire community around this map, they're simply done and have moved on. I'm unable to provide anything further as I expected a better outcome and unfortunately that didn't happen. Feel free to reject the map.

The map submission rules are quite clear. If the original authors indeed cannot be reached, you may edit and work on an 'abandoned' map, but if at any point in future any of the original team contacts us or you, we will take it down. I am just verifying that you have indeed tried to reach the authors (though the links provided quite well indicate that they [authors] have indeed stopped following this topic).
