This map needs A LOT of work. Bad terrain, crazy loading time for a map of this type, annoying lag spikes, awful gameplay... what else needs to be said? 1/5 (Unacceptable) rating and Rejected status.

Some one post some kind of constructive criticism on the map...

 

[ineedaname2]

I think the map is great exept that is is a bit to big it took me like 10 min to load map up to play with my friends.

 

[demongod03]

lol ineedaname2 you plaguriser. Anyways I think this map is awsome, a bit too big on file size though.

 

[ineedaname2]

i am not a plaguriser i thought of this name first so u are the plaguriser o and this map need less stuff so so i can download it fast and host on battle net so that people will not download so slow and make me have to w8 like an hour b4 i can actually play o and by the way what is up with the killjaden timer what does it do cuz i have have always played more than an hour and nothin ever happens

 

[I need a name]

ineedaname2 yes u are i made my name 1st thats why ur ineedaname2 and im I Need a Name. Any ways I'm probably going to make a version with a smaller filesize. and about the Kiljaedin thing I made it so after an hour he spawns but i removed it and forgot to remove the timer. So the timer does nothing.

There will be a new update soon, I did a bunch of editing on my friend's laptop, and he can't host games on B.Net so I need to wait until he puts in on a disc or a flash drive, then I will submit the new Version.

Well i like the map just all the items suck. they do almost no damage, and some noobs i play with just start by upgrading their base can you make a trigger for that?

Well that is because the items damage is proportionate to the heroes damage. Basically the heroes don't do much damage to start with, the items basically double their damage. And I am in the process of making a trigger for that. But it's not as easy as it looks.

 

[Billy_Bobcarter]

and after they are done upgrading they just basically kill everyone off... so can you make the trigger for that? Other than that its a pretty good map

There were so many things bad about this map I didn't play it for very long, however here are some of the things I didn't like:

Cheats(In multi-player)
Team killing is allowed
Laggy when heroes are bought
Many Icons didn't display, most of them DISBTN's
Unhelpful tooltips
You can upgrade to the tier your already at.
Terrain needs work
You shouldn't have to build your spawns
Heroes should be stronger

Thats all I can remember.. I will play it again if you fix all that.

bounty hunter2's Review on Mad Footmen 1.10

Mad Footmen 1.10 is a footmen wars map, like many before it. It can't differ itself much from the genre, thus lacking originality.

The map contains quite some problems:

* Improper icons (A lot of green ones)
* Improper tooltips (Containing nothing)
* Poorly developed terrain (Overuse of Blizzard cliffs, void, flat)
* Contains cheats

My rating and vote is 1/5 and Rejected.

I am reviewing I need a name's "Mad Footmen", version 1.10.

The map is one of its type: you have a main building that allows you to train units, and it can be upgraded to make available new types of units. You also have the additional option to choose a hero.

My impressions on this map are negative.
First of all, it takes a lot of time to load. Then, choosing the hero creates a lag spike that lasts a few seconds. There are lots of green icons, too.
The worst is definitely the game part, though. I might have activated some strange mode, but we had 100.000 gold. You could upgrade your units lots of times in no time. The Dragonspawns had a Breath of Fire that killed everything.
I'm not even mentioning the terrain.

The game was as confusing and hard to chew as it is being for me to find words for this review.
The ones I was sure I would be typing right now... are a rating 1/5 (Unacceptable) and Rejected status.

This has to go down as one of the worst maps in history. Firstly, once the map had finished downloading it froze my PC for 30 seconds. It then took 5 minutes to load and start the game. Once it started, it lagged for atleast 15 seconds. Then there were the green icons. Whenever someone choose a hero, it lagged for 5-10 seconds. Building units was a pain as it needed a lot of micro. Almost all tooltips were broken or lacking. Red could use a cheat code to give everyone 100000 gold. the dragonspawn's flamebreath totally destroyed armies. The map then finally took 10 secs to unload. These were just what I noticed in one play, there are probably a lot more problems that I did not discover.

I did not notice a single good part that your map had over other footy maps. How you managed this is beyond me, as it is damn hard to make maps this bad.

Honestly this was a disgrace as no one can possiably be expected to play a map that lags that much and takes 5 minutes to load. Thus I give it a 1/5, as although effort was put in, it was placed incorrectly and the whole map seems flawed and broken.

I would advise totally redoing the whole map if you want it to stand a chance of being approved.

Thank you for your "Critisisms" but thanks to the long loading times i have given up on this map and have started on a new footmen wars map. In case you haven't noticed the progress on this map is in my signature. I plan this map to be much more balanced than this map. The new one will have less content, but it will be much more fun because much more time and effort was put into making the correct things.
