I've been working on this map for a while now, and I've gotten to the point where I need people to tell me what the bugs are in it, what you don't like about it, and most importantly, is it actually fun. A lot of people forget that when making maps and I really hope I didn't. Here are some features.

-5 races to choose from (Human, High Elf, Night Elf, Orc, Pandaren)
-Strategic and well done Terrain
-Full upgrades for every single units
-Custom hero spells
-Upgradable unit spells.

The basic idea of this map is General War. You start with units and a general of your race, and you have to find a place to set up camp. If you don't set up camp and your hero dies, you are boned. At your camp is where you revive your hero and upgrade units. Each race has 3 units, a melee, a magic, and a "specialist." Specialists can be anything from archers, another melee, or hybrid melee/magic. In order to get gold, you have to defeat enemies. When you do that, and you need more units, you have to find a road at the end of the map to call for reinforcements. When you call for reinforcements, a point in the map is lit up and your opponents know where you are. You have to remain at that spot for 60 seconds until your reinforcements come. Rinse and repeat to win.

You lose when you have no units left, not counting your hero. Try it out, its a 6 player multiplayer map, and if you see a bug, please tell me.

EDIT: Look down for current download.

I realize that ending the game is a bit off, so next version you are going to have to hold one certain spot on the map where the artifact is held. This way so that you have have constant reinforcements while being able to hold a point outside of the map.

EDIT: Someone told me a bug, and I'm gonna try and solve it. Don't download it for now.

Ok, this version has no bugs that I am aware of. If ANYONE can find something wrong with it, tell me. I've only tested it in multiplayer a few times. I've added the Darkspear Trolls as a race, and it becomes more competitive with the center Lair added. In order to win now, you must successfully enchant the Thundermaul. To do this, you have to use it like you buy an upgrade. To stop others from finishing upgrading, you have to use the ability "Takeover" on the Lair to stop them from finishing. You also take it by doing this.


EDIT: This version works.
