You can use hidden tabs to keep your description less messy. Your description looks bad because its just going all the way down down down down the page.

I see that you've got one big, messy description there.
But, you could always try these useful links to make it less messier and look prettier.

naval battle?? sounds interesing i'll try it and review if i have time...

but a suggestion, use

Hidden

BB code to fix your description, it's messy...

this doesnt look good. seriously. a good coded map might not be a fun map and a bad coded map might be a very fun map. your map doesnt even qualify for a fun/good coded map. its the same as wcIII's, except some tweaks here and there. My suggestion will be to make this a fully naval combat map and change those normal units you can build. it will make it at least 10x more interesting and appealing to the eye. your terrain is.... forget it. im not gona comment on it. i dont see any coding that you have done, all those new heroes have some buffed up skills of normal heroes. this is stupid. i wont rate this map till i see inprovements.

Supertoinkz's way of reviewing (V2)

Gameplay - 3/5
Well, I like how you made a map with naval battles, but there are some minus points. Firstly, there are too many creeps :/, It's hard to go to the expansion mines. Second, add shallow waters that connects the islands, so the AI can play fairly. Third, some of the heroes sucks/OP/imba.

• Battlemaster - You used an ability already used by another hero (Quickspin), Also, he's nearly unkillable when he got all of his skills, (+ 3 str, very fast hp regen, and chaos form). You can just tank, retreat, wait regen (it's fast anyways), tank again and repeat
• Sword Magician - his Final Explosion tooltip is weird "Unleash an intense crushing force from the body of the Sword Magician, dealing 100 damage and reduces attack speed and movement speed by 100% that last for 8 seconds." lol? What unit got affected? Also his Grand Sword, which is a Shockwave, is way to imba, hundreds of damage? And AoE? Also his Lightspeed ability, I know its for a limited duration, but why so fast? And change his shatter bolt to something else, it's just a weakened storm bolt.
• Hell Saint - his Destruction ability has no icon.
• Mana Manipulator - Replace his Mana Shield, it is already used by the Naga Sea Witch. Also his Energy Spear which is just an imba Storm Bolt, and his Mind Teleportation is just a blink.

I won't list more, because there are too many, but srsly, make custom abilities.

Terrain - 3/5
I like it, the mass amount of trees helps a lot.Please reposition those neutral buildings, some are in water :/.

Design - 3.5/5
Custom Minimap Preview + 0.5
You still used icons that are already used, please use more custom icons to make the "new" feeling.


Overall Score - 9.5/15

Nice map (It's just me or I really like altered melee maps :/), but you still use in-game abilities/icons. Try using custom ones so you can generate something like "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne version 2"

Its really nice to hear some feedbacks, criticism, and comments. I really appreciate the short review from supertoinkz, now I understand some flaws I'll see what I can do.

 

[LieroBoy]

Finally i have the time to try it,

PROS:
1.i love classic Blizzard RTS that's why this map will drag me, Warcraft III with naval battle and new heroes?? sounds great! +1
2.balanced terrain+1

CONS:
1.Some hero skills, like the first skill of sword magician, is IMBA WTF???-1
2.Shipyards are not buildable, takes time to get the shipyard thus hard to do rush...-1
3. At the center of the map, battling an Ancient Hydra just for level 6 perma but those Royal Slavemasters seems trouble-1

Rated 2/5 needs improvement

Best way to promote your map is Description and SCREENSHOTS!
Add some please and you will see that more people will be interested!

Ehm, there's a Tiny shipyard in the Arcane Vault where you can build ships from.

Since alot of the things I had to say about the map were already covered, I'll just talk about the Human ships. (I'll cover the ships for the other races at a later time)
Interceptor: Basic ship, works out the way I expected to. Becomes somewhat overpowered when fully upgraded and in groups.
Mauler: The big Capital ship. Also works the same way I expected to, but it seems to have too far range.
Transport Ship: Pretty self explanatory.

What the hell is wrong with recycled spells.He may not be good at makeing spells with trigers I can forgive that,but seriously,those customs of yours are prety imba,but I won't charge ya for recicleing spells,I do the same thing because I am not a prety good mapper,but I'm proud that I can try and make fun maps for myself,the hell with all those who have something bad to say about makeing maps for fun.

 

[clockwork2]

i like the idea of naval units!i also like altered melees.

Hmm so strange.. can't see page two? Maybe with a comment I can?

EDIT: So there was no page two.. ? Strange. Anyway the map sounds interesting, I used to be into naval maps.
