Feel free to give your opinions, questions and suggestions!
First time posting a map that I made by myself so I'm not that aware of all the rules.
Please try to be kind.
Don't need review's from people that clearly are not artists and have not made many maps, models, tutorials or other.

Aralana has two abilities mentioning Turalyon. Ability descriptions should be consistent in the way they are written (text colour, formatting etc.). Luzran has no hero glow. It could be simply added: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling Same Cold...

Please understand that alphas go here: Map Development
Do not use the resource threads for unfinished works.
Also, please don't spam tags. It's not a campaign yet as it's just one map. Only choose the most fitting ones. I presume RPG and Co-op work best, not Footman Frenzy. That's an entirely different genre.

Intro is finished (The first map)! Why would I post something that is finished into Map Development?
Because you wrote that it's only one map and it's not even finished, i.e. in alpha state:

EDIT: also, this is not true:

Hello, boss! Can I translate this campaign into chinese? I wanna share it with chinese players
Map is going massive through changes from Demon Hunter model changed to Fel Rogue model. Changed some core spells from both main Heroes and will be posting finished second map that will be Altered Melee with Blood Elven Tech Tree. After that you can translate it.

All voice lines were changed, every single one and many more changes. Now using Elven Labs and it's much better experience.

You will have to wait few more months.

  1. Aralana has two abilities mentioning Turalyon. Ability descriptions should be consistent in the way they are written (text colour, formatting etc.).
  2. Luzran has no hero glow. It could be simply added: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling Same Cold Wraith.
  3. Feel there should be less undead at the gates message spam. Have a triggered timer before the text can appear again, once in x seconds or so.
  4. Had 11 items to use on Runes and used one on the runestone near the corrupted keeper of the grove resulting in all 11 items to disappear from the inventory.
  5. Undead Unrest doesn't tell you how many you should kill but the requirements update with how much you've killed. Same with The Sanctum of the Light.
  6. The orb quests says the bandits are north in the woods but they're actually southeast.
  7. Reaching the cemetery you get the message that the elite undead will attack the elf base. I assume it was Luzran. But he/it was dead already.
  8. Pressing ESC after Tannia tells of the "wonderful news" will get you that message again and camera moved to her location; runestone quest completed too.
  9. Kaedanis' "!" mark remains after finishing the quest with ghosts. Keel's was not visible anymore though, not even the "?".
Overall, a very nice co-op RPGish map which can definitely become a lovely campaign.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
