Quite a nice adaptation for multiplayer and not only. Kind of disappointed that the other team is not Mal'Ganis/Scourge. Could add more gameplay elements (as well as various heroes) and game modes. Approved. If you want more reviews, you should...

It was a quick fun little map. took me less than 10 mins to complete the map and I liked that the AI worked.
was pretty cool that mal'ganis appeared. the enemy AI tried to kill him but they died so fast XD. other than that I didn't notice bugs, its a pretty cool map and I like that you can hire mercs. good job!

I GIVE IT A 4/5 :wthumbsup:

@deepstrasz Thanks for the Review, I'm thinking about the future changes for the Map, like Mechanics and other things. But the original idea was to respect the parameters of The Culling, like the default Arthas (with little Reworks in his Spells) and the availables units from the mission. I didn't put the Scourge/Malganis in the opposite Team because they have a little disadvantage for the use of Soul Preservation to score for the Undead Team.

@raypack Coming soon. I know that content is much more appealing to people than just a text.

Greetings :peasant-cheers:

You could leave the status quo as the default game mode and make the undead vs human a playable mode to choose.
I wasn't thinking of undead having Soul Preservation though, just using the default Dreadlord abilities could work. And if you'd want more heroes, then there's plenty of abilities to go with.

Casually doing war crimes tournament

Looking forward to play this for my humble channel, it looks quite fun and simple to understand!
Will update my review slightly after.

Played 2 rounds and I can say that it's hilariously weird: committing war crime tournament of which Arthas' team kills innocent folks faster than others, heh.
Gameplay is pretty solid and quick to understand. AI allies sometimes ignored everything and rushed back to their bases, allowing me to win.
Maybe you've fixed it already in the newest version, dunno.

If you loved The Culling mission in terms of speedrunning or go-go-fast mentality, this map is for you.
