Been working on a new map for a few days, im pretty happy with the progress... Made a few nice little terrain effects i just think people should see. Im just getting tired of playing all these crappy maps that are coming out, theres nothing that takes longer than 3 minutes to create! I have a Waterfall and a Cathedral, which probrably have both been created... but i put em in anyways here they are - waterfall then cathedral (made of archways and stuff)

Need some help with a few things for it still... Like the name, well first of all heres what you do.
Step 1: Watch the cinematic introducing the map and author in the Cathedral
Step 2: Wait for Player 1 to choose the game type (FFA, FFA with creeps, ALLIED with creeps).
Step 3: Build cities, each player has a limit of 8 cities, which will be rarely exceeded. The map is 4 players altogether, so its not going to be a massive public game like Castle Builders once was (I helped FiendishDevil with it... way back when it was popular).
Step 4: Build armies and either defend the creeps (ALLIED) or attack each other (FFA), or do both (FFA with creeps).
Most units will level up, they have a unique Ranking system, every unit with the ranking system has thier own ranking skill and at final level they get a Master aura, which increases the speed of units nearby. Ranking system goes like this:
If you attack an enemy you get +1 point, 0 points-Recruit, 20 points-Private, 45 points-Lieutenant, 70 points-Master
Priests and Warlocks also gain 1 each time they cast thier spells, making them easy to level up.
There are Catapults, which have a huge range and do a ton of damage, but are easy to counter by rushing them. Each town also has its own Population, which is determined by the number of houses and shops nearby. Barracks, Training grounds, Houses, Shops etc must be built within a certain range of a city, and you are able to name each city. The name is displayed in floating text above the Camp, Settlment, Town Center, or City Hall along with the Population underneath.
The creeps are actually undead, skeletal warriors, mages, archers, grunts, a Doom Guard, and the rarest-Illidan.
Some of the stuff i must work out before releasing the map:
1: Have not created any upgrades whatsoever, but will create many per unit
2: Creeps do not get harder
3: Theres some minor balance issues, and a lack of options for gameplay (Difficulty levels etc)
4: Some unit levels must use the same model, which i would like to change
I still want this map to be even better than it is... Ive tested a few times with my friends who loved it, but im offering anyone who would like, to help me with it.
Okay im going to sleep now i wrote to much...
