Reviews
VGsatomi: Approved. Top-notch terrain, wide selection of heroes, an AoS map with a very "Dota" feel to it in that this map is almost a hero arena rather then an AoS map. The spawned mobs are nothing more then weak fodder.

well thanks for the review, don't worry there is a lot of improvements in the next version (like the holy infernal, his model is changed and he is now renamed into holy golem, he is 100% better) as for modes i am trying to make a perfect AR mode but i am facing problems with it, so don't worry, you will see it soon (trying to make less modes) some spells will improve and others will change is the new version, and there will be a lot of leak fixing.
posting comments and suggetions will always make the map better and improve it ^^
(some of the spells that will be changed or improved:-alchemist ulti(change), murloc leap(fix), blade master leap (change), blood nerubian lord's blood run (change), and some others)

and i will try to change the heroes description (add difficilty or something similare)

Game
hero camera problem
screwed cooldown spacing
scroll of town portal description
tower damage too high
memory leak is aweful
Middle lane spawn does not meet at specific mid point at the river
random mode shouldnt be disabled at later part of the game


Ice Lord
Frost nova's hotkey of ice lord
frost elemental frost armor should be passive
Ice lord's ice shard cooldown glitched, not following cooldown
ice lord attack missile



Troll demonhunter
Spirit Javelin should be flame model with flame buff
Imbalanced critical for troll demonhunter consider him a ranged hero
Typo in berserk buff
Typo in Troll Regeneration buff
Typo in Spirit Javelin text
Berserk gives 100 bonus hitpoints instead of 150 hitpoints


Gnoll
bad name for stupidity
short circuit makes it imbalanced if bugged is used, try making his attack have no swing time
"stupidity should cause mana, else too imbalanced
Typo at mana drain
chance of short circuit seems to be higher than the chance stated


Holy Golem
the disabled icons are screwed
description for holy skin is not clear, "immolation bomb?"

Goblin anti-assasine (should be assasin not assasine)


These is all I looked, might review again some other time, this will make me a second viewing of this maps, hope you fix them!

Points


Originality: 8/10
This map is basically a Dota clone. It has some nice and original heroes, but the overall idea is the same. Don't think that it is a bad thing, since if you are tired of Dota, this map will do the trick for you. The lack of a story is covered up with some nice heroes and items, and a gameplay where you spend more time PvP then fighting creeps.

Object Editor Work: 4/10 X
Problems I found, on each hero I played, so I think all heroes have similar problems:

- Passive spells don't have learning hotkey
- Taverns don't have select hero hotkey
- Druid Undead - stomp doesn't show how much it lasts
- Bear Bash - no learn hotkey (Passive)
- Same as Taurens Pulverize
- Demonic Metamorphis - No learn hotkey
- Bury - Spell tooltip begins with a non capital letter

Bug Free: 7/10
I played this on LAN only, since I didn't have time to expand it on Online Garena play. I haven't found any bug, but the game begins to lag after a period of time, probably caused by the leaks, that you said there are some.

Terrain: 9/10
I can't complain here, the terrain is much better then Dota, much better then any today's AoS. Not something complicating, but fresh and nice.

Scripting: 7/10
I didn't find any problems, the Multiboard worked fine, the creeps were spawning normally and didn't block anywhere. You could make triggered spells, I don't know, maybe you have them on some heroes, but on the three I played I can't say I saw any.

Gameplay/Fun Factor: 8/10
The heroes are mostly original and you will have a good fun time playing them. The terrain enhances the experience, and well the entire concept that revolves around PvP more then PvCreeps is great and enhances the play experience even more.

Balance 5/10
Well most of the heroes are balanced, but there are some that aren't and a huge problem:

- Skeleton brothers, you get three heroes that are a bit weaker then the rest, but in three they can own anybody. I know if one dyes all die but I think they are overpowered.
- Cash flow, you get too much cash every second, lower the amount, this makes the game imbalanced.
- Rest is mostly fine, the lanes are symetrical.

Lag: 5/10
Long loading time, lag starts after 15 minutes on my old Laptop.

Proper submission and crediting: 7/10
Make the changelog in hidden tags, add images, more info. Check this submission, perfect: Brotherhood Of Kenji - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site.

Conclusion

In overall: 60 / 90
66%
minimal 50% met.
For the hive grade: 3/5
-------------------------------------------------
In overall it is a good AoS that no doubt you will have fun time playing. It has great terrain and some really nice heroes. However the biggest problem still is the Object Editor Work, you must implement hotkeys to every function and ofcourse fix some of the tooltips. The game an get a bit imbalanced and it has a long loading time that I highly don't support.
Good Luck, bounty hunter2
