Map description:
Hello Hive,
Today I am posting a map that I have been working non-stop on for weeks. I wouldnt say it can compare to a lot of the awesome stuff I see people have developed here, but for me this is a great milestone in my map making.
Making this map has taught me more about the world editor than I had ever imagined it would, and in my own opinion I was able to make something half-decent.
I hope some of you play it, and of course enjoy it in the process

(Don't kill me for using blizzard cliffs some places).

The game is pretty straight forward. It is best played with 2 players as I mainly have made this for me and my coworker to play at work. It is a simple hero adventure co-op campaign, so just choose your hero and follow the path/instructions.
Never be afraid to go off-path. Good things will come from searching and discovering the world you are in. There are multiple side quests with good rewards and interesting stories. The adventure also features alternative endings, depending on what choices you make.
As this game was initially made for multiple players it is quite hard playing alone. You will be given the choice to pick a single player hero, or to control 2 heroes in the beginning if you start the game without another player. The single player hero has a mix of some of the other heroes abilities, and is considerably stronger. This makes it fun to play single player as well, but as I said earlier, it is truly optimal with 2 players.
You play as a bounty hunter who was hunting a bounty for a notorious bandit gang hiding in a mountain cave. A battle went down in the cave, and you were forced to exit the cave at the wrong side of the mountain. You now find yourself in a freezing blizzard in an unknown land. With the knowledge of certain death if you stay in the cave you venture out into this unknown land, seeking help from whoever offers it.
Your primary objective is finding a way to open the exit on the other side of the cave so you can escape the icy tundra you now find yourself in.

Please go easy on me, I have just picked up map making again
I am in no way a very good map maker or anything, I just make stuff I like and play it with my friends, co-workers and family.
The future release of reforged has rekindled a flame in me, and I am hyped for the new models. Some simple and honest feedback would be appreciated. I suck at balancing so any help in that regard is greatly appreciated.
Also please note that none of the spells are MUI as I suck at that, and they don't really need to be as you will not be able to play two of the same hero in one play through.
