Before even playing your map, might I suggest triggering so that it's possible to play with less people (meaning fewer spawns or stronger heroes, etc.)

Ha! I love it! Just a few suggestions though:

-Make units a little smaller, so I can have more on the screen at a time. I like to know whos around me.

-Make the lives bar retractable. When I'm trying to read a skill's information before I learn it, that damn bar gets in my way! ROAR!

Other than that, excellent map! 5/5

Were laggy map, when heroes got lvl 3---> game turned very ugly (meaning it got laggy). Second, the items, well, lets say just say had the worst/most boring items i have seen on any map :). Lets start of with the potions, u had too many crappy potions....come to think of it, they were all useless and i didnt feel like buying any of them.

Well, then after some doudts, there was another shop, yey, i screamed, it doesnt appear to sell potions. I got excited, maybe this gets better, BOOM, my fantasys were blow to dust, items that needed to left click to work, and they contained crappy spells, at this time, when i could afford one of those items, the game was so laggy i couldn even read which spell the items made, so i just bought something, took allmost all my gold i had about 5000, it cost 4000, and the spell which it had was bad as hell.

Then, the hero spells, i took the tank, maybe it was just a feeling i had, but his attack spell (the random fire shooting thing) seemed effectivless, like it had no power, sure it worked, not saying that, but the spell was boring, it felt powerless though it did the damage it said. Now that i got to the spells, it comes back to the first thing i said, lag, the spells are very laggy.

And those units, well, 3 types of units, 2 of which looked the same, basicly it was strong myrmidon and weak myrmidon (it it myrmidon? anyway u get my point i hope) and a siren (not sure about that name). Well, the units were just uninteresting. The whole Naga theme was a bit boring. Maybe u should add more types of units, change bit their models to make them look good (i dont mean using custom models, just something else).

After playing i noticed that the upper screen was filled with countdown timers that showed "00:00:00", maybe u should make a trigger that destroys them after they reach zero?

So, the bottom line of my comments is u need to do some work, im not trying to put ur map down, just giving some critisism, and telling u how I felt, maybe someone else doesnt feel like i did. But the summary is:
1. less lag, much less
2. Better items, more items, more simplified items, powerfull items, items that are permanents giving passive stats
3. More interesting enemies, in my oppinion they were bit boring, well actually alot
4. the countdown timer thing (not a big thing but u should do it anyway :) )

This is only my oppinion and i hope u dont take it too hard :)
