Battle for Helm Deep

Hi friends, i have just finished a new defense map: Battle for Helm Deep.
I want to show it here and receive useful advice.
-Hope you will test it and approve my map to be uploaded...
-Thanks in advance

+Pro: old
+2.0: old
+Platinum: http://epicwar.com/maps/30795/

Have you ever watched Lord of the Rings? it's great, if you have, I'm sure that you will like my map. it's about the famous battle "Helm Deep".
3 players can join this game [Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas], but if you are playing a single game, it's ok. To win, you must pass all of the enemy attack wave. If you dies, or king Theoden dies, you loose the game. Hower, there are objective you must follow [as in the film], if you fails these objective, then the game will end.

+About the heroes, there is not much to talk about, but they have custom spells that can satisfy your eyes. max level is 100.

+Item: There are no shop in game, to get items, take it from enemy akter killing. But i can pride to say that there is a large number of custom items in game. Some are very powerful, but they will appear randomly, depends on your luck.

+I am a true fan of The Lord of the Rings.....for the king, for honor...

The good:
-Thank you for using male elf models
-Probably above average Helm's Deep

The bad:
-Aragorn in not a "Holy Knight", and the "Hand of God" spell does not fit into LotR
-Blizzard Entertainment speech at the beginning must go
-Grammatical errors
-Uruk Hai are red tinted grunts, they should be darker in color at least

Things to consider:
-Gimli is an "Iron Man" mmmmmmmmmmmmmmk
-Orc/Uruk/Gimli models http://hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31767 - they aren't spectacular but they are better than using WC3 models
-Terrain looks pretty bland, even though it is an open field in front of the fortress

I'll edit this post if I think of anything else to add.

Thanks for your opinion, friend. But can you give me more useful advice, for example, you talk about Aragorn, he is not Holy Knight, but did not suggest another name...Any way, thak you very much, i am going to the next version now...^^

For Aragorn, you could name him "Heir of Elendil", "King in Exile", or "Ranger of the North". Gimli could be like "Dwarven Axeman" or something. I don't remember all the grammar, but there was one mistake in the map description I remember.

Oh I didn't realize that. Well there's something on post #11, don't know if those are good ones or not. And post #45 on page 3 says they're uploaded here? Haven't seen 'em here, but maybe.

I'm fairly certain that they're not on Wc3campaigns at the moment.

I'm going on the next version. Oziris. thanks for your feedback. my map is very balance, just i forgot to make charges for potion. And,... i advise you to play with full house. It's really interesting, much more than you play alone, believe me.

-By the way, friends, i have some problem. I want to use the "attribute system", but i failed at all times, 280 compile errors or more...^^. I copied all the needed triggers, custom items and abilities, then use rawcode...but i did not work, must i have something else???

Ah...and about the sound, i used "play sound" action several time, but just some of them work, others did nothing...Also, the file"human 3" has corrupted, so i cant play whenever i choose the human, because it will kick me out if "human 3" is being played...yoob...

common.j is your friend. As is search. Or not being a lazy person who can't be bothered to look for stuff.
