Hello, thanks for your comment.
And I have one question, friend.
Did you play this game once? And did you see the Korean word in game?

Because...
If I play hiveworkshop's map, and If someone don't write custom hero's name,
then english translate autocally to my mother tongue.
Because that is fundamental funtion.
And I sure your funtion is same.

I really curious, see any Korean words in game.
Or should I translate all word to english for screenshot image?
And they are just decoration, anyone can't control them.

I wait your anwser earnestly, thank you!

[Holliance]

please add more rounds!!!!

Hello friend, I see your comment.
Thank you for your request.
Now, I anwser for you.

This is control game, so I am sorry, I don't want to make more rounds.
Because if there are many rounds in control game, everyone's fingers are sore.
And the minds will be tires.
I think, 11 Rounds and 2 boss and final 5 rounds system is good for difficulty. It seems to be no burden.
Yes, I like 15 minutes games. Surely, it may vary according to persnal taste.

Anyway, if there are more rounds, I think it is not game, but it is labor to you and everyone.
Thank you friend, I want to play with you^^

GENERAL At first sight, HRD (V.150223) may seem as an unpolished map due to its lack of a preview screen and mediocre terrain, but what players might notice is that the map is polished and even unique in some ways. The map lasts roughly fifteen minutes and could be strategic and micro intensive, but due to some of the randomization mechanics in the game, some of that is taken away.​ GAMEPLAY The gameplay is basically a mixture of a small scale RTS defense and a mini-game. Players that read the essential quests, Hive description, and pay attention to the tutorial at the beginning - which are useful in this map as it isn't generic - may notice the map does not have proficient English, but it is still understandable. Other than the English, the map is very consistent with its self. Icons and units have organized tool-tips and it I haven't spotted any bugs. What needs to be known about the strategy in the map is that you usually can't just go fight an enemy head on in one area, but the lack abilities and a non-organized techtree (upgrades) discredits some of the map's promise of teamwork in the description. Randomization isn't a terrible thing, but in a map that stresses teamwork, it usually is looked down upon. Upgrading units to a random one might be frustrating to the player as that's not the unit he wanted. Plus, many of the abilities, keep in mind there are so few, aren't exiting or strategic to use. But since the map has random in the title and is intended to have random things, it shouldn't be that much of a big deal, but it should be put out there. For the majority of the map, we're fighting creeps dancing around the arena, or whatever its called. In my personal experience, it was easy to figure out the strategy on how to keep them under control. The bosses to encounter were nothing special. They were just over sized units with average attack speed, and a massive amount of health. If you add more interesting features to them, say custom abilities, players may have more fun fighting them for a few minutes. About the final rounds / mini-games, it seems odd that the splash damage is stronger than many (most?) of the AoE spells. It's usually a players instinct to use AoE spells on masses of units, but when you take that away from them, it causes confusion. I suggest the splash damage be weakened, AoE spells be buffed, or both. Also, the nature of the boss fights isn't something maps have, but it also doesn't require much skill. It is good, however, that you made it best out of five so players can learn from their mistakes. Overall, the gameplay is a fun new take on what a small team map can be. You did a fair job explaining the mechanics, but it could definitely be better. ​ AMBIENCE & AESTHETICS As it stands in this version, the visuals of the map aren't unacceptable, they're just average. It is cool to see some tidy faction camps you put together, but on the other hand, everything else around it is rather bland. Try to minimize the amount of the dirt tile. What I don't suggest is that you start spamming doodads and paint the map with random tiles. Doing that makes a map look cluttered. What I suggest is for you to have the tiles match the rest of the environment along with adding doodads on or near the the water. Also, if someone complains the the map is flat, you should keep in mind that not every map has to have height leveling. Most arena-like maps don't use height tools anyway. The way the creeps were positioned were cool to see though. Them dancing around the arena / platform and the way they charged at the player during the final rounds simply looked intriguing. Other things like the custom WoW background music matched the atmosphere of the map. More people should probably do that because in my opinion, it was pleasant to hear.​ MISCELLANEOUS The way you have your version number structured makes it hard to remember what version I was playing. It also makes your map look unprofessional. Speaking of unprofessional, add a preview screen. Adding one might also help sell your map.​

Hello friend, I read your good and objective review.
Thank you very much for your all suggestions and efforts.
I think that you might journalist or columnist.
Because your sentence and expression like something that New York Times showing.

Anyway, to my regret, I couldn't fix or add anymore because I have no time for game. I'm studying for next year's exam.
Ah, it is so sad.
I appreciate you again. Good luck!
