Land of Fokea (Version 2.1) Rate Score Percent Letter 5/5 91-100 A Rate Score Percent Letter 4/5 81-90% B Rate Score Percent Letter 3/5 75-80% C Rate Score Percent Letter 2/5 70-74% D Rate Score Percent Letter 1/5 50-69% F Overview: Gameplay "The Gameplay is very tight and not enough space to expand structures or a haven for creep out spots, not to mention very near creeps started attacking near player-based units at the start of the map, do adjust creep locations though it wouldn't be fair for others to creep them out manually." Terrain "As I said, terrain is very tight and lacks enough space to move out with a huge pile of army while not getting caught during the move, though I like the idea of a subdivision-like world yet still try adjusting the map with a pleasant view of environmental doodads and so." Management "In short, map can be useful and stable enough to be fitted in the Risk category, and not at least the missing button for the King of Fokea, do complete all imports." Total Score: Rate Score Percent Letter 8/15 77% C

Don't use Warcraft 3 codes for color
Use the color code [color=InsertColor][/color].

Warning: this is a slight wall of text rant on my opinion
of descriptions without screenshots, credits and bbcode.

Its ok to be new. Here are some pointers. Don't double post. Use the [edit] button and edit your prior post. Improve your description, check BBcode key below. Its easy and if you don't do it, it signals other members that you don't want to take time to learn something simple and thus the same approach will have been used in the map and the map will be lame and full of short cuts rather than great achievements. Hard work always shows. An example of this is screenshots. You must have played this game dozens if not hundreds of times right? Why didn't you ever hit [Fn] + [Prnt Scrn] and take a screenshot? It take less than a second. To post a screenshot, you go to your album here and upload by choosing a file, 10 seconds. Then you right click the image and choose "open image URL." The you copy the URL. Another 10 seconds. Then you go to your map description and click the [update] button and paste the URL into the description and add the BBcode tags around it. Image tags look like this

 [img]www.yourscreenshotgoeshere/it/took/only/60seconds?.jpg[/img]

. This took about 10 more seconds. Then you click submit. BOOM, screenshot! Less than 1 minute. If you don't do this, it tells me this guy doesn't have 1 minute of time to bother doing something to make his map description look cool, so I can assume he didn't make much of an effort to make his map look cool either. Now, I could be wrong but I don't know that unless I see a screenshot. Why should I waste 1 minute of my time on a map when the map-maker didn't take 1 minute to add a screenshot? Second, credits are a must. See map submission rules! You credit the guy who found the models but not the people who made them. Big no no. Read the rules, it takes only 2 minutes. Find the creator of the models and give them the credit they deserve. Models are very complicated and can take months or longer to create. The people who make models spend as much time on 1 model as some people spend on 1 map. If you use a model you must credit the person who made it. It takes much less time than making it yourself - trust me! Use of models from the hive involves a contract with the creator who ONLY gives you permission to use the model IF you give him credit. Thus by using it and not giving credit your are taking it without permission which in most places on earth people call "stealing." I know you weren't think about it this way and it's not on purpose, I felt the same way with my first map, thinking you can give the Hive credit and that's good enough, well I was wrong. Its not good enough. Finally, learn some BBcode or at least go advanced in the description and add some color, fonts, size, center align, and simple tables. It looks pretty cool and it takes less time than reading this comment. Here is one of my favorites:

In the freaking box... unh!

This is just my thought process, its not meant to be an insult. You're new and I get it. I'm just trying to help you understand who your audience is and how to impress them. I left some links below that can greatly improve a map and a description in a relatively short amount of time. All are worth the read. Good Luck and thanks for sharing your work!

[Theoden of KoMe]

i cant really understand what you say but if you say ''ok'' then thanks

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

I really can't now because i lost the tft cd.....

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

You should import DIS BTN/PAS icons as well.
Use passive icons for passive abilities.
Use active icons for active abilities.

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Because of recent problems i cant use warcraft 3 tft nor roc editor.Until i will fix it i cant update any map.....
Mostly annoying but this is life...

 

[Orcnet]

Map Approved, see moderator comment on top.

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Thanks orcnet.I will do my best updating it

I don't like the number of heroes each player is able to control.
Convert some generals or important units into normal units.
Use heroes for key characters only.

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

These games demand at least 3 heroes for each player so the game becomes more interest.Demi heroes are easy to be killed and for that they dont attract too much attention.Any way this map has the style of spawned base maps and since i took the idea from BFME many heroes make epic battles and a good game.If you have tested alone then i agree with you but in battlenet which i have tested back in KoF (my clan),
KoF=Kingdom of Fokaia,Many epic battle have happened and specific at the locations of Thimari,Agiasmothi, and Laketown.
I always make maps for the Bnet.So if this is played at Bnet and people like the style of the map then i wont remove heroes to demis or normal units.

Hey I have 2-3 questions to this map.
1. I can close the doors / gates when I play the map. if i can how?
2nd I can turn off. those who make it spawns troops / units every 2 minutes
and for the third I like this map so I give it 10/10

[Theoden of KoMe]

Hey Simon.Thanks for the review
Ok you can close gates by pressing close main or close palace or what ever.
Dont use - cause it wont work.
Secondly i dont really understand what you mean but to close the spawn you have to kill the base.....But doing this to your self is kinda suiside.....Cuase without bases you lose the game.

You cant close the spawn.....You can sloe it only if your base is destroyed.But killing your base is suiside....
