This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Finally finished the Frozen Halls event. Added a new sneak peek on the new boss - Sara (or what seems to be Sara... 
).
Upcoming - Addition of a new boss and either item improvement or difficulty system addition. Yeah, the items aren't really well-developed, and the difficulty system has had a few requests already.
Frostbite Caverns is the first map I create. It is a Boss Fights style map which consists of 5 1/2 (for now) boss fights and is inspired by Psyris's incredible map Impossible Bosses. All bosses have custom made spells, phases, unit summons, etc.
At the start, you get to choose 4 heroes from 6 available heroes. Boss fights are non-stop and in a defined order. Once everyone selects his/her hero, there is a minute break before the first boss to examine and choose abilities and items. After that, once you kill a boss, there is a 50 second break before the next one comes.
Boss Order: -Holy- -Water- -Shadow- -Elemental Mage- -Frozen Halls- -He(She?)WhoMustNotBeNamedYet-
If someone dies in a boss fight and has no reincarnations left, he is revived at the end of the boss fight.
This map has a system in which the Hero Selectors distribute among the players playing the map (i.e. if there is one player, the four hero selectors are given to that player. If there are three players, two wisps are given to player one, one to player two, and the other one to player three).

Sounds like fun. I havent tried it yet but from what I saw in description, skills kinda dont match heros but I might be wrong. You should also try to move Blizzard default skillz.

Yes, I am trying to change as much Blizzard default spells as possible, but I do think all spells match the heroes.
EDIT: Someone have any comments about gameplay?

At first i would love it if u go on with developing this map.
Suggestions:
1. No fix itemdrops per each encounter
2. The 3. Boss must be neverd. The ultimate git the same intervale like coming back to life from ankh -> if u get hit once u respawn and die instant without a chance to aviod ulti.
3. Reduce Hitbox of the Tomes at the 3. boss ... they fuck up movment
4. The 2. Boss could be a bit harder.
5. Add diffrent difficulty levels, which are able to choose from host at the beginning.
6. Redesign Tank -> at the moment he is kind of useless .... it just takes longer. Maybe Add Taunt as base skill --> double his life and give him 15/30/45% more heal gained as skill. at the moment its better to choose paladin cause he can tank as good as Tank, deals more dmg and can heal aswell .... (same ulti like tank is not good aswell)
At least u could play impossible bosses to get some new idears ... its great but u need to many guys to play. so go on wit hur map

Thanks for all the suggestions!
-About Shadron's (3rd boss) ultimate, I am working on a more complex version.
-The Paladin is also meant to be a tank, just that he has healing abilities instead of damaging ones. If you say that the other tank is useless, I will improve him. I also see too many Blizzard Default skills on him, which I am trying to change.
I have played Impossible Bosses many times. Although some ideas and my inspiration come from there, I want to be as original as possible.

How come the game won't start (player slots board on game creating menu is blank), and when I try to press start, it just sends me back to the map selection screen. When I try to host on lan, it just throws me back to the main LAN screen. I've tried this on both WC3 v1.23 and 1.24d.

For now I can only say that some spells repeat and that's annoying, atleast change there names and change the efects a little.

Whoops, sorry about that. It seems there was a problem with the map compressor I was using. The map is re-uploaded and should now work properly. Thanks.

Oh yeah that's on purpose... the map ends there, it's called the Frozen Halls and it'll be a new boss encounter. Just the first part as a sneak peek for now, though. I thought the game ended though... I'll fix it thanks.

There is a very glaring issue..
Hadriel continues o cast spells after hes dead. causing wipes since he continues to blind you on the other fights.

Strange... I clearly state on the 'Hadriel Dead' trigger to turn off the spell triggers. Don't know what that might be caused by. Thanks, I'll look into it.

i test the map and i give you my suggestions :
1- add more player .
2- increase hp all bosses and damage .
3- make class items like ( Holy Ranger { when you cast any spel you have chance 20% to heal 300 aoe or refresh all spell } , { warrior { you have 25% chance to counter attack or block some damage } )
4- change some warrior spell , like this ( Howl of terror , chance to block , and ofc tuant , charge , ..... etc ) .
5- add threat system .
6- add casting bar system .
7- and maybe add damage and healing detect system .
i know this is take long time for doing it threat , casting bar and detect system .

Hey I've tested this map. but I can't get through 3rd boss cause when his hp is lower then 40%, he casted a spell(or many idk) and my warcraft 3 crashes. So sad. Hope you could fix it =)

Hey, thanks for testing the map! It's been a long time since I last updated it. I've been working on a huge update.
That's strange... maybe one of the special effect dummies got out of the map bounds. I'll try to look into that. I don't see any problems with the spell, though.
