Sorry for having the first post on MY OWN map. Not wanting to be greedy or anything.

Hi there! Your map is bad kind, because:
1. Your terrain looks really bad
2. No sounds
3. The Last War contains dot!
4. Chapter 2 Undead Vs. Lordaeron's fight didn't look good, because the fight needs more space!

If you want do more cinematics, please work more at terrain, and add sounds! Thanks for your map!

Hi there! Your map is bad kind, because:


1. Your terrain looks really bad = Ok, Ill work harder next time.


2. No sounds = There were a couple. Music during credits, death of Jaina, ect.


3. The Last War contains dot! = Did you not watch it? It's the credits, it just shows all the characters that were in it.


4. Chapter 2 Undead Vs. Lordaeron's fight didn't look good, because the fight needs more space! = The Indead broke into the city, they where only at the gates, they were invading.



If there is anymore things you need, just post them.

He's talking about the title, "The Last War.". There shouldn't be a period at the end of a title. Look at a book, for example.

Alright, I took your opinions, in The Last War. Part 2, The scenes will be much longer, the terrain will all be used up, and I will try to have more sounds as much as possible.

You still have a long way to go man....Try panning the camera. And try getting better angles with the camera...You can do it by holding the ctrl.key and right click of the mouse/or was it left.
To revert to normal camera hold ctrl.shift.c

I would give this a 1/5....but since I don't give 1's I'll just not rate it...BUt I still approve of it tho'...no bugs anyway.

1) Description at site - The description at this site seems to be alright, but you could have elaborate more of it such as "What makes this campaign interesting?", "What special feature in it that no other campaign have?" and so on.

2) Terrain - Terrain was poorly develop, it lack of the usage of tiles variation. Destructible/doodad such as tree was spam in a massive amount and structure was place randomly around the map without any proper planning.

Most of the terrain was at poor shape, especially chapter 2 and 4. It look like a partically blank map with almost nothing to it. Even if you are making a desert environment at chapter 2, it doesn't came close to it. Try have a look at how a desert should look like.

3) Scripting/Trigger - The coding was terrible at many aspect, you do not clear the music list, turn the day/night cycle off, disable dawn and dusk sound.

I am not interested to elaborate more about it, you can just do a little research by looking at those cinematic tutorial to find out what's wrong with it.

You should also use game cache to load it to the next map, which you naturally did not use it.

4) Camera - Awful is the right word for the camera. It either stay frozen or it just switch to another camera in a blink of eye. Camera should move, not just switch to another camera in a flash without any good reason.

5) Music & Sound - Lack of sound usage and the music doesn't match with the cinematic. It seems like you used those music depends on which races you had set at Player Property.

6) Replayablity/Fun Factor - I doesn't have any fun watching this cinematic campaign at all. It either full of boring chattering that some of it doesn't make sense or a boring battle that both side just continuesly hack and slash one another.

7) Special Effect - No special effect, nothing that look interesting at all. Most of the battle scenario look like hack and slash.

Quality was too low to be acceptable into hiveworkshop database. My vote is 1/5 and this sources should be rejected.
