Secret Town Portal has no description.
The techtree is just the usual orc one and heroes have some spells changed and added. The custom stuff is kind of lacking. The enemy has more custom stuff than the players.
The terrain isn't that nice either, mostly flat and one tiled.
Spells don't have proper icon positions. Stampede takes the first place instead of Shockwave if you don't learn Shockwave before it.
Spell descriptions lose most of their text after level 3 and they only mention the damage or value.
Two units named Tauren in the Beastiary with the same icon. Any of them you click on leads to training Tauren 2. And this unit is a straight copy of the original Tauren in the Tauren Totem.
While this might be fun, in terms of gameplay or creativity, it's not innovative. The general idea is nice though.
Substandard.
Maybe you could get more into altered melee:
How to: Create a Full-working Custom Race
Custom Race Creation: Advanced Mechanics
Ultimate Battle v2.50
Deforestation of Felwood v2.1.1
Nightborne v1.05B
Planetary Domination v2.04
Sands of Time [v1.9]
The Grand Citadel (Racial Issue 1.6)

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.
