Hello all, Some may know me some don't. My name is Tazzy my battle.net name on Europe is Taz0Snipz.

Ive been here since Aug2003, Ive not really made any posts cos i kind of quit Wc3 after i joined cos my computer went Hey wall. But im back for now.

Anyway Ive been playing a few "Vampirism" maps and half of them well nearly all of them are some what imbalanced for the Vampire. The humans could have armys within seconds if the vampire dont do anything quick.

I know you prob are sick of these maps, but i hope to make this one somewhat different if i can.

Well im really a terrianer, but i thought i would rebuild the map from the ground up. Im very impressed on what i have done (Triggers i mean) as i have never really understood them but i have a slight idea now. The map is playable i already have done 2 tests and no bugs where found.
With that being in mind i thought i would work my lovly terrian on it some more.

Do any of you have any ideas on what you would like to see in this map?

I only have one screen shot of the temple where Drac or his minion will start. Not fully complete.

1. i think your using 2 different types of cliffs for the sea level, so when you come to raise it youll get a distortion, what i sugest to do is from the edge of the map select the largest brush of same level for the main land type cliff then drag it over to the water and cover it up, then re do it.

2. You need to set the Art icon - Research

Nah, to get rid of the shadow goto: File>Calculate Shadows and Save Map

Also just somthing I note in the screenshot there, change the fountain model. Tinting it that color makes it look horribly out of place.

Art-Icon-Research: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN_FRAME.blp

Maybe your custom icon doesn't have "disabledcommandbutton"?
Or you didnt import it in?
Just a thought.

I have done the basic stuff now so it needs a little test. I can't really log into battle.net for a few days i dont have time to test it myself really sorry.

Anyway im uploading the map to be tested by you lot if you wih to test it for me to find any bugs, spelling errors, and grammer mistakes (The spelling and grammer mistakes theres prob's lots of them lol)

I do hope if you download you thing this version somehwat more balanced and more fun to play if not please dotn start calling me names. That kind of stuff is not needed here. If you dont like the map or dont like something in the map itself please place down what and why you did not like and suggest ideas and what not. Thank you :)

Again i do hope you like i tried my best to make it somewhat more balanced.
