Hi everyone! I'd like to recommend my map to you if you want to try a different kind of AoS. Aerie of Ruin offers faster play, great theme, deep strategy, and two totally different upgradable armies. The Free People army relies on numbers, while the Black Kingdom army relies on fewer, more powerful units.

This is a public beta release and I'm seeking feedback on game and hero balance and any game breaking strategies you might be able to find. Hopefully there aren't any bugs, but if you see any please let me know! Replays would be uber

If you want to comment about things you like/dislike I might be able to address them in the Aerie of Ruin 1.0 release!

Thanks to everyone who gives it a shot!

The only thing that dissapoints me so far is that you developed such an awesome storyline and you had to set it in the Warcraft universe.

I mean, since you bothered to write a good story and independent characters I was suprised you set in on Azeroth.
