This is a castle defence, just not as usual, you have to defend your self from many varied oders that come in. I am extremely thanked on the loading screen, i did nothing too big, just what he couldnt do. So please check it out and post your opinions.

This map is easily the worst executed map i have ever played.

The concept behind it could of been made into a passable map but the total lack of effort by the map maker causes this map to become nothing more than a load of rubbish.

The creator showed a total lack of interest in the small things like tooltips, game balance, content and gameplay to the point where the map feels as if it was made by an 8 year old.

Yes i know i sound harsh but a map filled with horrible spelling and gramatical errors, a total disreguard for testing and a leader board which flickers horribly as the triggers update causes me to grade this map a 2/10

It's worth DLing just to see how a map should not be made.

I can only agree. No introduction at all, leaderboard flickers mad, you have no clue whatsoever on what to do, tips appear about doors being destroyed before I even see a door on the map. Sorry, but this is not a good map in any way.

...What the hell... you didn't do anything to the loading screen. You juts recolored the loading bar. Wow probably took you no more than a minute! About the map itself, I have to agree with Download and BBDino.

i Hate to Agree i usally try to find something good with a map and be constructive but you really need to take a LOT of time on fixing the map.

Lol what you did you did wrong, the leaderboard is totally buggered. The only good thing i can say about this map is it has a good utilization of color, to bad that color is pink.
Needs lots of work.

We shouldn't be so harsh and bash his map like that, we should credit him for the work he did do. It's hard for a new mapmaker to make a perfect map.

It could be a lot better with some simple fixes.

For one, getting the leaderboard to not flicker like that (is it a periodic event? I'm away from wc3 comp now, but I played it). If so, maybe should edit so event is a kill (that was a kill count, yes?)

Some explanation would help. What are you trying to do, what goal are you trying to attain in this map?

Also, I'm guessing it's supposed to be "odor" like a smell, being called "fart." In that case, "odor" is misspelled many times.

The terrain was decent enough, but sort of confusing, and the gates were hard to understand. It needs explanation and clarity.

The colors were, I thought, a little overused.

Missing tooltips should be fixed as well.

It could be fairly decent, but the smaller things add together to make the map seem, ah, not so good.


In a nutshell, explanation and clarity should be added. The leaderboard/colors I would include in that clarity.

Instead of nailing him to the ground and kick his face, why dont ya guys try to help him with better triggers =?

If it was me who published a map, and got that response, I would think ya guys were some arrogant a**holes, who tried to upraise them self by ragging down at other peoples work...

i think ya guys need some disciplin....

We have no problem with ppl saying a map is bad. If its a horable map then the maker is better served by someone saying so than telling him it "needs a little work". However they should say why its bad and sugguest ways to make it better. Also there is no need to be rude about it.

From the posts we read there was nobody being overly rude. Also ppl did say what was wrong with it and some sugguested ways to fix it. Thats part of what this comunity should be doing. This map obviously needs a big overhaul. Its better for them to hear it here from those who know the effort it takes to make one of these things than getting butchered on B-Net. We assure you those ppl will not be so kind in thier sugguestions on what he should do with this map.
