This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Svein landing in Norway
Created by The Sheds

Map Info:

This map is the FIRST chapter of my own Warcraft 3 saga "Epic Norsemen Journey".
Svein Nordsjelen (Soul of North) from Iceland had arrived to Norway to capture some villages and earn money. But suddenly this viking started a new war between Iceland and Norway! Campaign taking place at the Askøy island, Hordaland, Bergen and Reyðarfjörður (Austurland, Iceland).


Features:

This map is making the viking theme into the WC3 campaign. In total, it will be the 15-chapter (maybe more!) campaign with long and interesting storyline (I hope so, because it is hard to do when you can't make cinematics). The main features:

  • First of all, vikings... And this is already epic:D
  • Hard levels (for those, who is new to WC3, of course).
  • Lots of mobs to kill and nice-look terrain.


Extra information:

I USED ONLY WE!
The sad thing is that Svein's vikings (in future - every Icelandic character) look like orcs. BUT! It shows us how much the Icelanders were different from the Norwegian. When in Early Medieval Ages Norway was united by the King Harald The First, the democracy was found in Iceland. And that's why Norway and Iceland are enemies. It is true, that Norway was more civilized (especially after becoming the Christian kingdom). And that's why the Norway is the Alliance:)

Author's notes:

This map is made for people like me: fans of the Early Medieval Period and vikings.
I didn't use any not in-game features, because I have an old version of WE, I can't even invert viking skins and other good stuff:( So there isn't any cinematics in this map. I just can't do them! Sad but true, sorry:( BUT, you always can let your imagination make up the dialogues, epic moments and etc;)

Uh, to be honest with you this map is not fun to play.
Gameplay [1/5]:
Nothing special, just a "train and attack" map..
Terrain [1/5]:
It's dull, you should experiment more with WE~

I think this map has potential, but I don't think it is still not ready yet. Improvements cqn be made. Anyway, you need to ask other people for suggestions. Believe me, it is still not ready. I suggest you to upgrade this map. Download and see other people's maps. They are professionals! Anyway, I am waiting for improvements! Good luck don't give up! :)

I already told you, I DON"T have ANY special things in my version of WE such as cinematics, quest making and other stuff. I can only change the name of units and this is the only thing I can do!
And I can't add screenshots, because they are in .bmp:(

There are tutorials on this site about how to add those, I find it very doubtful there's a version where you can only do that. I think you just don't know how, but it's easy I'm sure you'll learn how, just look at the tutorials on this site.
 
OMG! Listen, I don't have "Invert" option, or campaign maker option and so on, I've seen tutorials many times, I am not an idiot, I JUST DON'T HAVE IT in my WE. I don't why and I don't know how to fix it!

Hmm, that is strange. I thought it might have to do with Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne versions but that doesn't sound right. Is it a demo version?

I think you really need to find out the version of your editor and find out what is wrong with it. As far as I can remember every version have had trigger editor and everything else with them.

If you can't update your editor I'd suggest you contact some author who can help you. Even though I am not sure if they will help you in anyway.
You said you can't add triggers, yet you have made a trigger folder called "Cinematic". A bit obvious in my eyes, you can add trigger folders but not triggers?

Also I would recommend you to add black mask to the minimap as the player "explores" the area.

However I think you won't be able to create an acceptable campaign or any map except melee map, if you can't make triggers or edit really anything.

been awhile since I seen a w3m file on here..
Get the basics done for the Map Submission rules, and i'll check it out. I am a sucker for RoC mappers. You gotta be really creative to beat the TFT mappers though!

EDIT: I would also like to see an unprotected version.

Regardless if you have reasonable excuses why you cannot add certain things, this map is highly lacking. Now with that being said, you can always improve when uploading your other map.

The gameplay is featured around changed names of default units. The enemies are very weak, one of the AI is even trapped behind some walls and a gate. The terrain isn't the worst, but it's mostly plain and flat. Doodad placement wasn't very good either. I appreciate you decorating some things, but if it was done consistently around the map it would be better. Normally, I don't judge the effort of maps, but in order to have a map accepted, you need to give an extra effort on how to fix your problems whether it means asking in Hive or researching. I'm guessing you are newer to the WE than most here, so try and read tuts or talk with Hive community more, they'll help :)

Map rejected.
Reasons:
- No quests log
- Quality lacking
- No screenshots
