Hurtgen Forest

[deepstrasz]

Adapted for 1.31 using Map Adapter So bear with me if there are some issues present that might not be on 1.32+.

Spoiler: comments

1. Outpost says drop off for lumber and gold.
2. You can capture Supply Stashes.
3. Basically you've replaced lumber with ore but it's technically the same thing. It's still the Warcraft III type of resource gathering.
4. Most icons don't have DIBTNs and look like green squares during game pause or when not yet available. Learn about icons:
   Button Manager v1.8.2
   BLP Lab v0.5.0
   Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
   How to Make an Icon
5. There is no direct encounter possibility. Players have to go through neutral hostile units first.
6. Some units have the same icons.
7. Units and buildings are not from the same age. They look weird together. It's not something that you can easily change though.
8. Morphine has no hotkey.
9. Workers don't have any resource carrying animations and they shoot when mining.
10. When researching Endurance Training, Air Force General gets its place. Properly position icons.
11. Armoured Car's icon is broken; it basically looks like the model's skin.
12. Bazooka is a weapon not a trooper name.
13. Bazooka's icon is used for an upgrade and also for the vs. Tank attack type. Try differentiating icons.
14. Small Caliber Gun doesn't have an icon border like most attack and armour type icons. You can add one or remove the one on the others with the Button Manager I linked earlier.
15. Mount Autoloader's icon=Small Caliber Gun's=Fire Fighter's. Add On Armour's with Light Armour and Light Tank's. Repair's=Full Mobilization's. List goes on.
    
16. AT Gun doesn't have a model/texture. Possibly a patch version difference issue.
17. Tank Regiment's model=Oil Refinery's.
18. The problem with the terrain is that it's very cluttered and that there are narrow paths which along with Warcraft III's pathing make for an annoying experience.
19. Love the turn rate for tanks. Pretty realistic.
20. Well, planes are hard to code to seem realistic. Right now, they're just Warcraft III air units.
21. You could add glow to heroes: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
22. Tanks don't launch projectiles?
23. Recon Flight has no hotkey.
24. Do Refineries do the same as Supply Depots?

Generally, a nice map but needs some polish.

Awaiting Update.

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.
