...And I had played it, completed it on NORMAL difficulty. Here's my walkthrough:

What can I say about the whole map?

• Some minor text typos persist, like the humble narrator's voice (I barely hear him through constant "Yes, yes" sounds) or "famrs" in the quest log;
• Balance is snazzy - I think that you have done well with it, I tried the map on hard difficulty and failed my attempt to finish it as fast as possible, while normal provides enough challenge for the first mission;
• For the first mission, I cannot say if limiting the player's town hall was good or bad since we had only 1 base.

Overall I found it quite enjoyable, "Yes yes"/10

WOW! Thank you so much for the video! It's awesome! But now I'm afraid that it was still a bit difficult for "normal".

And now I know I have to make the voices lauder.
Thanks again.

@AkulaSubmarine Glad to see you taking on WC1 remake (I'm a big fan of the original, as you might guess). I've been in love with your trademark art style since your previous project.

I've played only a few minutes of the demo mission so far, but I can already see it's going to be fun.

Nitpicks so far:

• The map launches with Reforged assets if you have the game set to Reforged graphics in the menu. This can be easily fixed, since there's a switch in the editor preferences, which makes the user-made map use SD stuff by default (and you won't need to switch back to Reforged once you've finished playing the demo).
• The UI graphics are nice, but you can clearly see chunky square pixels from upscaled original art. No big deal, and not without their own charm, but see if you can smooth those pixels out.
• Voice acting - ...uh, you know, I'm no professional voice actor, but I believe I could make a decent impression of Bill Roper's voice (he's the guy who voiced all units and narrated briefings in WC1). Maybe we should team up? I'll send you some samples tomorrow.

Wow! Your attention flatter me. Thank you! I'm so excited. I'll consider your offer Maybe you'll become a narrator.
