Please don't upload such low quality maps here, Rejected. See what Kercyn wrote, bad terrain and leaks, not original aswell. Use Epicwar or our Map Dev forum. Thanks.

Yeah, ok, we believe you. Any more details on the map?
The map contains many historical inaccuracies as well as typos. Achilles was not the son of the gods. He was the son of the mortal king Pileas and Thetis (I don't know the english world, but she was something like a nymph). Odysseus and Paris were not, uhm, women. Who on earth is Ajax? Theseus did not participate in the battle of Troy. He slew the cretan minotaur several centuries ago. Hercules was Zeus' son, and definately was not in Troy either.
Terrain is very bad, as well as cliffs. I mean, what is a fountain doing stucked on the walls? Bad blight usage and not enough tile variation. I also noticed an overuse of doodads and special effects. I mean, a dalaran shield on the sea and inside Troy? Eye of Sargeras lying on the beach? Those demonic things look like anti-tank barricades. Plus, the terrain is pretty confusing.
The amount of pre-placed units is like saying "Hey, you don't have much to do! Just select us all and send us to slaughter the enemy!". You don't need that many units in the beginning.
The quest log does not provide many information, and neither does the cinematic in the beginning. You don't credit other people for their models either (unless, of course, you created each and every custom model in your map, which I doubt).
The triggers leak, and are painfully inefficient. Just an example...

Last but not least, your model selection could have been a lot better. A mixture of orcs, human, night elven and blood elves is certainly not fitting this style of map. Most spells lack proper description and buffs are not edited to fit the spells properly (ex. Priam's charge places a roar buff on units, and the Trojan horn places a Howl of Terror debuff).
