The table may vary if needed.

Originality: 6/10 √
Even though I haven't seen any other Alamo map, but I know there are quite some out there, this one is indeed fresh in any matter, and even though it is a historical event and you will think how original can that be it is surprising.

Object editor work: 4/10 X
Unit descriptions should be done better, with info of attack and hitpoints, add hotkeys for building units. You need to color a letter and make it a hotkey.

Bug Free: 8/10 √
Even though we didn't get till the end of the map I don't think any bugs are even possible, since its rather simple.

Terrain: 6/10 √
The city terrain was fine, great I can say, however the outdoor wasn't done in a good manner. I know where the battle happened and it is supposed to be the way it is, plain and flat, but you could add more things to the outdoor terrain, a bit more vegetation as a starter.

Scripting: 5/10 √
Simple, no errors. However what needs fixing:
- When we went playing 1v1 we couldn't control ally units
- Either remove them or enable control when there are open slots

Gameplay/Fun Factor: 6/10 √
It is a interesting defense map and you will have a good time playing it. Being the attacker or the defender the map is a fun one to play. You need strategy to bet the defender, since just sending zounds of troops won't do the trick. I suggest a even bigger variety of units, maybe a multiboard with a status.

Lag: 7/10 √
Decent enough loading time, the game started to lag after a period I spent playing it, maybe 20 minutes or so. Leak?

Proper submission and crediting: 5/10 √
Credit the authors of the models in game aswell, more info and images.

In overall: 47 / 80
58% minimal 50% met.
For the hive grade: 2/5 I suggest this map for: Rejection
-------------------------------------------------
In overall a interesting map, that you will have fun playing. You need to fix hotkeys, make a better submission, deal with the terrain a bit and some scripting issues and I am sure this will be approved.

EDIT: Seems that the author is long gone from here, so neccesary updates can't be met. This should be rejected.

Good Luck, bounty hunter2
