Just started making my own maps

[Braylon08]

I am very new at making new maps actually i just started today. i used to mess around with age of empires map making but i never tried anything other than melee maps. I am wanting to start using customized heros and items. i will be making RPG's if anyone could give me some tips on how to make the items and imported models work properly in the game that would be awesome. also if u would like me to try using particular models u have made you can always let me know im willing to try them out
