Hey, nice comic you've made there!

The description can be polished for better readability though. Perhaps this will help? Description Guide

Hey, nice comic you've made there!

I assume this is for a map that hasn't been released?

Sounds good, there's a lot of potential there.

You can do more work on the description though. Perhaps this will help? Description Guide

This is a guide for the Bosses of Warcraft (BoW) Map that was released very recently! You can read more about it here.

Oh, wasn't aware of that.

It looked like one of those threads in Map Development... The screenshots of World Editor grided terrain didn't help matters, either. Still, the author could've linked it in this post though. In fact, I came here through a link someone sent me.

Thanks!
