The summoning.

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is my first ever map, so don't expect anything too flashy, too complicated and especially anything to do with JASS.

Despite what it looks like it is NOT a prologue, I simply made this to see what I could do and to learn more about world editor.

A big thanks to anyone and everyone who made a tutorial in THW, they really helped me get started.

EDIT: Added some doodads for eye-candy and changed the terrain very slightly. Also changed the end a bit.

Keywords:
Summoning, Hell, Demons, Sacrifice.

..So, what is this?

EDIT: Kay, I actually watched the cinematic.


+'s
1. Grammar was nice, kay
2. Spells were well done

-'s
1. From the preview it looks like blank terrain, blight doesn't show up on Previews (Which is, what the map entirely is.)
2. The dummies you made could be seen, under the lightning.
3. You have 'unknown' set to your author name.
4. The terrain was very bland
5. I didn't see the point in the map, what's it for?

1. From the preview it looks like blank terrain, blight doesn't show up on Previews (Which is, what the map entirely is.)

Well, it none of the other types of terrain fit for a sacrificial area.

2. The dummies you made could be seen, under the lightning.

What you're seeing are the runes I put in, the lightning is simply supposed to be way they appear and disappear. I"ll change the runes to make that more evident.

3. You have 'unknown' set to your author name.

How do i change that?

4. The terrain was very bland

Well as i said, first map. I'll try and spice it up slightly.

5. I didn't see the point in the map, what's it for?

Practice mainly, and seeing what I could do and see what people thought of it all things considered.
 
Well dude first of all try to improve map description:
