This is a map I made, called Ninja Scroll. I added this attachment in another thread but I think the thread was too old and wasn't downloaded enough. So I'm asking again for people to dl the map, and test it on b.net and tell me what you think of it, and how I can improve on it.

A short synopsis on the map. A Ninja clan are trying to decide which out of two teams should gain new rank above the other team. To decide this, the leader of the clan splits the 6 players into two teams each on the same side, but are competing for higher rank in the Ninja Clan. To past the test, they must compete to complete a variety of quests before the enemy team can. An example of a quest, Kill Jubei the Ronin. Instead of a castle as the battlefield, I designed a town with waygates (but looking like houses) that gated to small areas representing the houses you enter. Inside a random house is Jubei, and you must kill him. The town is flooded with randomly placed soldiers and hunters. Killing Jubei will return you to the ability room where you can decide to rechoose or keep your existing abilities, while another quest is assigned. After 7 quests you're given a final more difficult quest and then the team with the highest score is proven to be of better qualification than their opposition, and are given victory. I admit, this is a slightly anti-climatic ending and if anyone can give a better idea for it I'd be yet again greatly appreciative.

By the way, another mission type I added was 'Assassination' very similar to 'Kill' missions, however if an enemy unit sees you, there's 5 seconds before they call renforcements and you're discovered (causing you to fail your mission and lose points) if you kill them within the 5 seconds, then you're not discovered.

A few things I plan to improve:
- I plan to add more quests
- I want to add more detail to the terrain and add more doodads
- A more climatic ending
- Even more spells, or replacing useless ones with useful ones
- More camera angles when requested, i.e requested by you

So tell me what you think, what I should add, and what should be changed.
