So it's just one map and it's still in development. Maybe you should post it in the map development section.

Regards.

PS: Although if the map is fully playable it meets the requirements to post it here.

The map itself is complete with only minor mistakes I already took care of, it's the campaign as a whole that is not ready.

Thanks for the feedback

Cute first mission! It feels super basic and simple, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The story kinda mirrors the original with Maiev and Illidan, so I'm not sure if it's meant to be a different reality from the original campaign or what.

The ending was a bit underwhelming, to say the least. That cinematic with Lilith dying felt pretty disappointing—there should've been a proper boss fight instead of her just going out like that.

On the bright side, I liked the extra quests and the mini-boss, but honestly, he needs more mana to use his spells more. Also, having more secret spots where Lilith can use her blink ability to reach them would be cool, similar to the og campaign.

Overall, it's a cute and simple first mission! Here's my playthrough:

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to review the map.

I wanted to keep the mission linear, partly due to personal preference but also because I’ve been short on time lately with school. This is my first full map, having previously only worked on custom characters, so it’s been a learning experience.
I agree that the ending feels underwhelming. Toward the end of development, I had to rush things due to exams, so I wasn’t able to polish it as much as I would’ve liked.
For the mini-boss, the idea was to make players drain his mana before finishing him off, but I can see that his mana pool might need some adjustments.
As for Blink areas, I intentionally didn’t include them because I’m simply not a fan of that mechanic.
And regarding Lilith’s fate… let’s just say the Skull of Gul'dan holds more significance than it appears.

Again, thanks for the review! Feedback like this really helps refine the map.

Then the "Campaign" tag would be better changed to "Altered Melee", if it is currently just one map. Otherwise, it might be misleading people as to the current state of the project.

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Illidan's pursuit
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner
Please don't add them as assets as they will be downloaded separately along with the map.

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.

A simple map that still needs a lot of work, including cinematics, getting the quests right so they appear properly, and some improvements to the terrain design.

Personally, I've always liked these classic Warcraft 3 missions. Sometimes we authors get so caught up in doing different things that we end up unnecessarily complicating things. While you obviously can't make an entire campaign like this because it would get boring, I think it's a good starting point. Keep working on the map, ask questions, and download other campaigns to see how things are done you don't know. I hope you continue with your project.

Regards.
