Uh, well...
Played the map and I do understand and know you are trying hard but sad to say this nowhere from being Approved. Let me give you a review of your game:
Nightmares Review
[+] Good Points:
-Decent cinematic and nice grammar usage but you should remove the quote signs.
-Decent terrain.
[-] Bad Points:
-Decent terrain and at some point really bad because they are empty, flat and leads to confusion. I suggest fill the terrain with more doodads to solve your problem on the terrain's emptiness, Use the Raise/Lower tool to make different levels to the ground to solve your problem on the terrain's flatness and I suggest making proper roads in the terrain so it will not lead confusion to the player.
-When the Captain told me to go and finish my Beginner Mission on getting those Equipments at Trade Center, when I bought one of the items being sold there, I suddenly turned into a Knight but the weapon I bought disappeared and so I just did buy the shield. I suggest when replacing the unit with the Wood Elf Knight, you should make it keep its item.
-The hero has just ordinary Warcraft 3 spells. I suggest put more life and unique-ness into it.
-After turning to the Knight, now I guess my Beginner mission is finish so I go back to the Captain but nothing happens. The game just stopped there....
[] Suggestions:
-Improve your terrain and follow those tips that I have said.
-Please let the items I bought at the Trade Center to be with me even If I changed to a Knight.
-Make some new custom spells for the hero because they just have ordinary spells and also worse it just two skills.
-This game is completely unplayable after turning the quest to the Captain, the game stops there... no progress!
So based on my reviews, as I have said, this map is far from being approved because it has many problems: first, you are not yet fixing the description of your map here in hive and lastly, after some time, game doesnt progress anymore. So for now, I will rate this
2/5 and sadly voting for
Rejection.
I'm really sorry! I have problem downloading the java, so i just worked Map Description just now. I see a validity in my map after i retested it for screenshots.
But here's my objection:
1. Some terrains were left blank (i know it was the Traveller pass) because i have put a major cinematics (kinda like escorts) for the second-last cinematics.
2. The "items" removing is really like i wanted to, so it just a picturing "buying a weapon and armor and used it". It worked based on my simple logic, and really, those two items doesn't mean much compared to other items. And there is many more items available in the map (shop, hunting region, etc). Well, the triggers works well with condition you buying the two equipments first, then the other items.
3. I have worked this map far before i know Hive workshop. You may say it's a WIP map, but when working this with limited resources, i think is 90% done map. Give me time and i'll create unique spells for him. Oh, for the only two spells available, because the other one is a tree destroyer spells (Flamestrike). I don't want player wildly strike trough my map with out following the required items/objective.
4. Have you read their conv (Capt and Hales) after finishing first mission? if not, read carefully. If yes, it should be not a problem, though the next objective is just by entering city and find what needed. The only problem i just experiencing is Hales is blocked by the Front Gate, that available on the next update.
5. If really i should remove the quote sign, i'm afraid making player carelessly run elsewhere, out of main objective route. Like you said, it's only make confusion.
As a noob, i know you are more experienced one. I'm applying objection not to refuse your reviews, but just make you look deeper to my perspective to the maps. I will look back at the maps again and try see from your perspective, and i looking for a reply. Thanks again for reviewing my map!
Approved
