Interesting concept

Review coming soon (possibly tomorrow if not today)

Edit 1:
Oh my, the triggering in this is really bad. You should use If/Then/Else 's instead of creating multiple triggers for everything, this will clean up what is overall a very messy code.

You use only Blizzard spells - these are quiet boring overtime and everyone's seem them many many times - triggering your own spells will make it much better.

I haven't played the game yet, but so far it doesn't seem like it has much hope for a good review.

Okay: Review
Your trying to do way too much in one map, balancing and making the experience fun for multiple dragon players, dragon hunters and humans is a large task that would take a very long time and a lot of patience to do. Just in the beginning you can tell some sacrifices made for this - for the dragon players to get to level 5, they have to slaughter random woodland creatures with a hero with only 3 spells. This is quite boring. I'd suggest you simplify this map and have all players play as dragons and have NPC's control the humans. That way you can focus on making a good experience for all the actual players.

Terrain: 2.5/5 - This terrain is passable at best, but it could be much much better. Atm it's pretty unspectacular, and the beginning area for the dragons is full of doodad spam.
Coding: 1/5 - Bad coding in general, it's unorganized, it leaks and is an overall mess
Creativity: 4/5 - I really wanted this map to be good, as I had a similar idea a while ago but suffered by trying to do too much in 1 map like you did here. Overall I'd love to see the idea done well and it seems like a project most people don't seem to want to make for some reason.
Gameplay: 2.5/5 - Passable I guess, though it's pretty lackluster overall.

Overall: 2.5/5

I can see a lot of room for improvement, but right now it seems like a good idea with bad execution.
I'd vote rejection for now.

Absolutely boring, had to enable cheat to get over the beginning faster. No custom abilities whatsoever and quite random in the aspect that you don't know what to do. Also, the triggers are chaotic and have many leaks.

Improve the description with these BB Codes; add screenshots, special features, etc.

i notice you give a lot of rejections lately

Hehe, well not every map has what it takes to be worthy of approval. If the site just approved every map then it wouldn't be any better then Epicwar. Also with anything you can separate most resource incomes into:
-Unacceptable Resources: These make up the bulk of most resources coming in, mainly in sections like spell and maps where it's not that hard to get into making the resource.
-Acceptable Resources: These are more or less 1 third of the total resources submitted these resources are made well and can be approved.
-Exceptional Resources: These are more or less a fourth of the third of acceptable resources. You don't get too many of these as it's pretty difficult to make one.

Also someone seems to beat me to all the high quality maps lol
I actually liked this idea and was hoping it was good, but that's not going to sway judgment on whether or not I feel it's acceptable. The other reviews also didn't turn out too good for this map either if you'll look at them.

Im glad i was able to download this map before it got rejected, because i like it

 

[Ionwolf]

I think u dont know how to RP.... the skills aint much important, when the computer or fel orc's would be CPU then this game would suck.

By the way, why was this map rejected so fast? The time between the addition of this map and rejection is 1 day or less. Not enough time for the uploader to change anything. Hardly enough time for him to reply actually.

I had to search for this map elsewhere, since it was just thrown out of here.
