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 Militia Wars
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

This goes for future maps you'll upload in this bundle (since you've put the campaign tag, I assumed you would be putting more maps here).

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.

Is non-reforged mode supported?
Is there going to be a multiplayer mode?

Ok I will change to non-reforged mode, and Im making a Multiplayer mode
@deepstrasz I´ve quoted the autors of the models used

 

[deepstrasz]

Not sure if it's supposed to be multiplayer but currently there's only one player slot and no functioning AI for the enemy (no mining or windmill building; just unit stacking in the base).
Units are quite regular Warcraft III ones, upgrades pretty much Human based.
There's two Blacksmith buildings.
One building (the Stables) is enough to enable all units in the Barracks to be trained.
Units are pretty much versions of each other; they don't feel unique.

Overall, simple and incomplete.

@deepstrasz I´ve made a nice updated 2.0 take a look, and give a new review plz, I´ve edited the post, add the new features, take a look !

 

[deepstrasz]

Idle worker icon doesn't appear if workers do nothing. It would be helpful.
More than two leather armours don't appear in the table. Not sure if it's intended/max or not but the production keeps going. Oh, it requires leather but it doesn't say so in the title/description like for other things.
Axe Strength's icon=Build Small Swords'. Build Spear's=Spear Strength's. Composite Bow's=Build Bow's. Leather Armour's=Leather Armour Strength's.
Would suggest giving each "resource" its own colour.

It's better I guess, the system is nice although units are quite few and not that different. There's no siege machines for instance.
Would be nice to add the option for this to be played with players as well but to be interesting, random start locations would be a good idea.

Approved.

Good map with very bad replayability

Cons:

• lack of unit types
• Description talking about things that does not exist in the game atm for example one of the resources description was about training elven swordman
• lack of replayability there is no randomness in the game and nothing you can do to differ your play style
• economy takes a long time to get going which is another reason why the map is only good for one time play ( atleast in my opinion)
• weird damage types , why archer is siege damage? the description of the damage is correct but the name and icon is misleading

Pros:

• custom voice lines
• unit countering
• PVE ( which also can count as cons)
• good city buildings mechanics

Militia Wars 2.0 (Warcraft 3 Gameplay)

• Only gold, lumber, and horses are required to train units.
• Road systems remain and are essential for efficient town project.
• Windmills must now be built within fenced farming areas somewhere on the map. Peasants must load the windmill to generate gold income.
• To produce mounted units, you need to supply stables with peasants. The more stables you own, the faster your horse population grows over time.
• The Town Hall no longer requires a road connection, since gold mines are scattered across the map.
• Combat effects, damage sounds, battle screams, and unique voice lines are all preserved.

I hope you enjoy these new mechanics!
