For your benefit...

Although you did somethign i hate mroe then anything by making your map protected. I played your map though only as the Orcs for the moment and i found some things you need to change.

1) Please extend some of the tooltips on the creatures.
a) Troll Trapper, Needs to tell that its influenced by Troll Regeneration. I ended up attacking my own unit just to find out if it was.
b) Warlock, needs to tell what spells it casts just like the other spell casters in the shamen hut. Though I do believe if your going to keep the Fel's on the orc side you should really put this creature with the fel orcs.
c) Fel Orc Peons should be obtainable one lvl higher, their units are not that much more powerful then the main creatures. Also please include the basic peon tooltip to let people know that it can gather and repair like a normal peon and not just build.
d) DRAGONS! - Include warning label errr.. tool tip that says that their fire breathe WILL damage your buildings if fired to close.

Off the tooltips you need to actually build an AI for the computer. I know it sment to be player versus player but there isnt always another player to play. I played against hte computer and they only built the standard WCIII human units and I stomped them.

If you'd like me to look over the human side jsut repost and ill see it otherwise there you go.
 
a) Troll Trapper, Needs to tell that its influenced by Troll Regeneration. I ended up attacking my own unit just to find out if it was.
I will fix.

b) Warlock, needs to tell what spells it casts just like the other spell casters in the shamen hut.
I will fix.
It is not a fel unit, its skin is the regular green color. It is meant to be regular and I toned it down as such.

c) Fel Orc Peons should be obtainable one lvl higher, their units are not that much more powerful then the main creatures.
It's not the power, it's that they are a different tech tree.

Also please include the basic peon tooltip to let people know that it can gather and repair like a normal peon and not just build.
I will fix.

d) I think that is emplied as splash damage always hurts your own units.

The AI is something I don't know how to do. I will need some help on that one.

Please do play human, and I wish you would have played them too before you gave the map a mediocre...

Why I did....

I gave you that rating because although I see a lot of work went into it, I hate it when a map is protected, being a person who is just getting back into the swing of things I hate trying to go look at a map and have it throw a bunch of errors at me cause someone though their map was super special and deserves to be blocked from other people wanting to learn from it, this moreso when someone is ASKING for people to look over their map.
More so with yours because tis a melee map, so its not like theres going to be a hundred diffrent versions of it released on Bnet.
I also gave you that rating because I have seen a map very simalar to it in the past even down to using the burrow for an ogre mound and having 3 kinds of ogres in there.
Even if I looked at humans first I doubt my interuptation would change because of those facts alone, because otherwise the map is very inventive with the new goblins units to counter the dwarven ones, and the new Ice Troll here you came up with; the Tiki, love it.

Humans

I played humans like you asked, Other then your golems tooltips need to be lengthened a bit. It looks like you put alot more effort into the human side.

Over all for your map I think your problem if you have too many units for either side. You really need to think of maybe creating more races for it.

You have potential for alot more then just two huge hordes of creatures that in a normal Melee environment. Most people will never reach.

I played against a friend he didnt even get to the second tech tree for his species.

First every race need own AI. It can be madet AI editor. Then you need trigger that what race use what AI file. Then things work.

I don't yet played your map.

But some logic:

- Early expanding.
- Later Expanding.
- Harvest gold two places same time.
- If race need lot lumber it harvest it faster.
- Some towers (eg. two) in each expansion to give time AI force and destroy one unit silly attack or scouting?

Hey Kam, I can do the AI for you, but you might want to learn it for yourself. If you head down to the tutorial you should be able to get a general idea on how to do things. If I may, If I were making your AI, I would probabbly make 4-5 scripts for each race. I would require a trigger in the start of the game to select what random script to pick but, each script would mean a differnt tactic, from rush, to turtle and so on.
Send me an email if your just to tired and don't want to learn AI.
