Seems like a nice tutorial for a first RPG ^^
Though this map is really basic, it's decent, i really like the terrain of the town the rest is always the same, but terraining takes a lot of time...

I've found 2 bugs: the ghoul doesn't have mana to use the ability and when a quest is finished, the wrong quest gets the "completed"-mark

A few hints:

- try doing things you haven't done before, just add some triggers (without a tutorial), if it doesn't work, try another way to do it (do that over and over again untill you see what you've done wrong in the other tries, that way you'll learn triggering very fast)
- change some things in the object editor to learn what all those things do
- bugs improve your mapping skills and can make the map better
- Tutorials are very usefull, but sometimes they limit your creativity... I learned to create maps by messing up things and changing it untill i got what i wanted

I'm not going to rate this, since it's your first RPG... keep trying, maybe one day you'll create a famous game

Lol, this isn't my first of ever. I just thought it would be interesting to see what people think of my First. I've made more. I'm alot better now, since I made that RPG about three months ago. Regardless, I'll check out those bugs.

The bottom review is the list of suggestion/comment and opinion about the map. It usually contain an useful hint for the map author if the map author try to earn more merit point for their map.

[√] - The city terrain look quite decent and nice, perhaps you could add some weather effect for it.
[√] - The forest terrain look rather bland with just a village tree, try add a variety of destructible/doodad into it.
[√] - There is 1 thing that doesn't make sense to me, how come there is a... ugh* water flowing down towards the river from the volcano ?
[√] - The loading screen just had the map title, why don't you add some storyline about your RPG ?
[√] - You should set Medivh invulnerable.
[√] - You should set the camera view the hero once you selected it.
[√] - When a quest been discovered, accomplish or failed. There would be a game text appear about the quest, try view all those quest at warcraft 3 campaign
[√] - Instead of setting region, try set a action and condition such as owner of unit within xxx range of NPC equal to player 1 to enable the quest. Cause when I get close enough to the NPC without entering the region, the quest won't be execute.
[√] - Too many bug especially at quest log and some bug effect the gameplay. I cannot give rating 3 cause there is too many bug effect the gameplay such as making certain quest cannot be complete if you skip certain procedure.
[√] - All those quest should be optional instead of required. Required quest would make the game defeat if it failed to be accomplish.
[√] - Usually, if the hero die. The game is over especially RPG type game.

The bottom review is the list of negative stuff about this map. Negative review usually not only about how bad the map is, but also if it does follow the rules of thehiveworkshop or not.

[√] - Bug detected, you can had the reward from Delivery Quest without even need to bring the item to Medivh.
[√] - Bug detected, earn the reward of Delivery Quest (By using the bug mention) would make Delivery Quest could never been complete.
[√] - Bug detected, after you discovered quest. The talk to me special effect above the NPC never disappear.
[√] - Bug detected, I accomplish Deadly Rogue skill and other quest complete ?
[√] - Bug detected, I cannot attack the Bandit on top of the cliff since the hero I used is melee. The only way for me to attack him when using Demon Hunter or Paladin is by reaching level 6.

Ohh, I'm sorry... seems I misunderstood your sentence then ^^
anyway, it's still a decent map

About the last bug of Septimus: you can buy ranged units...

 

[Far Aldazar Din]

Yeah, Septimus, the point of the Ranger on the cliff is that you HAVE to buy a Ranger unit. It isn't a bug.

This map is too basic. Aside from using normal WcIII assets it's not creative.
