APprojet was quite clear on this, use Epicwar to upload poor quality work, Rejected.

 

[APproject]

I rate this resource by 1/5 and I suggest it to be Rejected because of it's game type abuse and unacceptable quality.

1. Template / Terrain type of map? I wouldn't say so. You added much of your own stuff that is not a feature of Template / Terrain.
a) You edited map with Object Editor, added your own materials.
b) Trigger Editor work already exist.
c) You've already created the gameplay and you probably expect people to play it like you want.
2. Is this Template created for Hero Arena, AoS or something like Footman Wars, I have no idea, you tell me. Since you didn't, it's not a good point.
3. Map Description should be developed in better way.
4. I see this: Created by Pierre Lindgren; Uploaded by: Doomelf
You didn't notice users if it is your map, since names of uploader and creator is different. If you stole the map, it's against the site rules if you don't have the permission to upload it. You must notice us.
5. Terrain and Environment art is lacking. This point is the main thing into which people should look firstly after downloading your map. There are many spots, many places and roads, ramps that are out of doodads, it looks awful. The bigger part of map contains with only 1-2 ground variations of Terrain Palette. Entire map is massively spammed with Pillars and Obelisks. Two parts where supposed to be forest or jungle is terribly developed. All I saw there was stones and trees. No bushes or different variation trees. It looks ugly especially when you look at the edge of the map. I didn't see a shadows there, I believe you edited Map Boundaries and I would say, you removed it. Best solution to solve it would be to make players to do not see the edge of map. Add something that wouldn't allow plays to reach the edge, trees, cliffs or even water. Waterfalls looks bad too. Many of them makes no sense, since water comes out from the wall without any hole and especially when the beginning of flooding water begins over the textures of object from which it supposed to run out.

Conclusion:
The impression of this map is like not finished work of AoS or Hero Arena map. The only thing that makes me think that it supposed to be a Terrain Template is that map is absolutely empty - nothing else. You tell people in the description at THW to add stuff like this or that, you think people want to download your resource to finish the work you didn't end?

Making first projects do not gives you a permission to upload low quality resources. My review wasn't harsh at all, you obviously haven't seen a harsh one yet. I will not rate it 2/5, since this resource do not deserves it. Fixing these five point of my review, my rating might increase for sure.

Going Away

Im putting this map away the 20 may. And APproject, I do got a real name not just Doomelf. How wierd it would be if I would say this to people Hello I'm mr.elf, doomelf (If you get my drift). When I reupload it, you will be able to find it in risk/strategy because I think that migth be the closest thing.

That review is not harsh, it was precise and exact. Learn to distinguish the difference between precise and harsh.

Use update function if you have improve the work, re-upload it are rules violation.

If you wish people to know your real name, it's okay, but firstly, you must notice us that it is you.

Deleting map and reuploading the same with some fixes is against the site rules. You must UPDATE the old version with new one if you don't want to meet the judgement of moderators. It could probably cause map rejection and negative reputation points.
