Review	Legends of Warcraft
Key Concept	AoS - My favorite type of map. I like the loading screen, fits the theme of this AoS. An update log, can be described in the loading screen each time you release a new update. Just a suggestion. Description of the bundle is fine and looks good. Multiple pieces of information are in the Quests Menu, good thing. I like the chosen factions for the combat. The shops are placed well and there is also a text that describes each for what it sells. Also, there are some shops that require higher level to access, really interesting.
Gameplay	I picked Ner'Zhul from the horde side. While he may look like a supportive hero, his physical damage is really fine. I like the totem spell, really cool. His spell that rises that skeleton creep could be improved. He is kinda weak against the enemy creeps. Try adding more armor or health or damage to it. Towers that are destroyed leave power-ups that can be picked to get more lumber or gold, cool idea. I love how to modified all attack types, the attributes are modified too but they do not grant new things. Next, I played on the Old God gameplay mode with Grom Hellscream. Was really fun. Although I suggest you make their faction attack the horde and the alliance after 1-2 minutes not right when the battle starts. Their creatures are really powerful. Next, I played the Shadow of Doom gameplay mode with Rexxar. In this mode both the Burning Legion and the faceless one faction appear, top and bottom lanes only. It's great how the gameplay can be modified with the modes. Thumbs up for that. All faction's creeps can be improved in both physical and magical capabilities from their spawning zone. Really good.
Terrain & Aesthetics	Although it may look chaotic, the terrain actually has a unique design. I like how the bases are designed. Some trees could have a lower scaling value though, they kinda block vision sometimes.
Wizardry	Pretty basic but well chosen spells for each hero I played. You can add some new ones though. For example, Grom's spin animation can be used in a lot of ways for a cool spell instead of giving him the old Bladestorm ability. Rexxar with Misha as well. Think about his axes for example, you can make a spell that throws them both in the targeted point, dealing damage to what they cut and destroying trees as well. Just some suggestions.
Final Suggestions	Lower a bit the damage and stats from the Burning Legion army and the one from the Old God. Nerf the terrain environment and doodads I mentioned above. Add more heroes. I saw that the Horde faction doesn't have any hero in the Spellbinding Circle. The battle is fast paced, maybe too fast paced. I suggest you lower a bit the movement speed of the creeps. Other than that, the map is really fun to play and you get a 4/5 from me and vote for approval!

Thank you for reviewing the map Alxen345, I have taken note from your review and will start reworking and improve things.

Spoiler: intro scene/prologue

The cinematic is nice to look at but the dialogue is made of random unit quotes which isn't captivating at all. It's not funny either.
Ambush them? They were in plain sight with tents and an ignited campfire...
"It looks as if they are held hostage." On their mounts?
The night elves (Maiev) know of the Twilight Hammer? Gul'dan's clan was Stormreaver...
All heroes alive?
The humans confronting the orcs are red in the transmissions.
They turned Grom back in a snap?
Nice effects but cameras are mostly bird's view.

1. Some heroes don't have hero glow. You can add it: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
2. Some circles of power don't have any heroes?
3. Towers are a bit too close to each other.
4. Some buildings like the Voodoo Lounge are in the way (on the path/road) and might create hero vs hero problems especially when there are minions there too.
5. Spell spree with the items of the first mode.
6. No scoreboard/multiboard? Most if not all current AoSs have that: All About Multiboards
7. Some spells are just merely edited Warcraft III ones.
8. Burning Blade's icon should look passive not disabled. Choose the proper one in the editor. Also, for other icons you could make them the way you need with this: Button Manager v1.8.2
9. Could put more explanations in the Quest Log about the game modes and stuff.

At first glance it's quite overwhelming with so many upgrades and item shops placed here and there but it seems to be organized in a way.
Generally it's a nifty AoS but could use more polish and implementations and less eye-candy.

Approved.

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.

Thank you for your review deepstarsz. I agree that the things you mention should be taken care of and the review you made is quite accurate!

 

[deepstrasz]

Towers are a bit too close to each other.

What I meant by this is that your ally and the enemies (those in between the horde and alliance) are.

@King Valdezar please write a changelog so people would know what you update/change.

 

[K.V.]

I have included a change log now, and thanks to wTc[JediMaster] for hosting the map a few times over Bnet last night I managed to improve alot of things.

Tested with you again and alone as well. While the map does not have a big amount of heroes it has a lot of unique things that I really have to mention.

*damage types varying and able to be used in various combinations with the right items.
*the cool modes with the Old God and Burning Legion factions
*heroes are heavily based on interesting abilities from their original lore. Malfurion for example. Really love that hero.
*while the items might look confusing...they are not. All you have to do is read. Read. Read.
*all faction units and structures can be upgraded.
*PvP is really interesting. The correct items can turn up the battle. Akama seemed weak at first but when I've got the specific item...I could kill you.
*The environment and the features from it can be used to trick your foe.

This AoS has a lot of great potential and I really do not see why I did not rate it 5/5. Done now. Keep working. I really wanna see the new updates

 

[K.V.]

Looking for people to test the map with me, so I can improve it! Anyone that finds it interesting and wants to play/learn it, please contact me...

Hello I played your map and here is my review;

-So many starting items not good I think.
-So many item shops. It very confusing for newbie. You need to add Guide
-Mid lane better for leveling cuz other lanes are hard at begining
-Mid lane towers invulrable Minions going to die. It's pointless I think
-Terrain looks empty you need fill them with using some doodads trees etc.
-Towers attack heroes instantly.
-Heroes builded well but many heroes have out-class abilities. Varian have paladin spell divine storm. It kills class fantasies
+Spells based on stats very good. Your hero spells not become useless on end game
-Some hero builds force players to go neutral lanes. For example: Illdan needs to kill neutral leaders etc.
-Naga and Demon forces movement speed to high. Sometimes you cant escape from them
+I love idea upgrading your base by using salvage points. Its very unique.

-AI dont have any movement. They just purchase hero.
-Alliance southern lane attacks neutral creeps when sun rises.

-I try to wear Another class item it drops instantly and not refund price.
Salvage drops only hero kills. You can add bounty system to give salvage instant to hero.

Overall its enjoyable. You designed classes very well. Suggestions: Improve terrain, Decrease tree sizes, Make guide for items or make vendor for main items, Decrease neutral creep stats on begining. I bought many stat books at the begining cuz My team level not enough to buy some items. You can add basic AI to push lane etc. Add optional quest for midlane.

I rated your 4/5 cuz I saw potential on map. You can improve it better.

Thanks for the feedback Lord_Marrowgrath, really appreciate it. I'll consider and improve the things you mentioned.
