Weak advertisement for 'my' map: Burbenog Tower Defense

IMPORTANT!:
Technically, I did not create this map; I am continuing the map series. No, I did not steal it, the original creator (Shvegait) officially gave up the map almost 3 years ago, unprotected it, and left plenty of helpful comments inside (which were very helpful, and really encouraged me to start editing maps). I have never found Shvegait's contact info, so I can't actually ask him for permission to continue his map; but for the above reasons, I assume it's safe to take over the series. When I get the chance, I'll randomly do /whereis commands and see if I can find him on Bnet; I doubt I ever will, due to my limited play time.

Keep in mind that I'm also very new to the editor; just read on, and play the map if you wish. Check the change log and tell me if I've been doing a good job!

-------------------------------
This map is called Burbenog Tower Defense, a co-operative 4 player tower defense game made a few years ago; some of you may have played it before. The gameplay works in that the creeps spawn in 4 groups, 1 group per corner. They run on unbuildable roads, going a full lap around the square map before taking the inside route toward the centre. It's easy to learn, but like most TD's, hard to master. My version as of writing this is v2.34.

The original creator made this map very well; it's very polished and the pacing is great for beginners (but won't kill off the veterans). I aim to continue the series to the original spirit; I don't plan on doing random stuff or spin-offs that end up making it a different map. Also, he's definitely taken steps to make it more exciting; among the basics like air and invisible units, there's lots of strategy-niche things like armour types, damage types, range/AoE, spells/abilities and their effects, siege rounds (which can really change the way you place your buildings), unit types, even player Heroes. Each race is unique; they all offer something different, and yes, it's best if all players choose a different race.

Which reminds me; teamwork is essential in this map. It's difficult to get far if no one shares each other's unique race towers/services. The great thing about this map is that there's a 'cede' command; players can type a command in order to give up ownership of the selected buildings to the chosen player. This is great if, for example, you're willing to give gold to a teammate for his Ice towers; you give him/her the amount of gold required to build it, he/she builds it where you need it, and then he/she cedes to your possession. Simple and extremely useful.

Now, keep in mind that I'm new to the editor. This map is 'my' first map ever 'made', and this was the first time I actually USED the editor, rather than giving up at first sight.

So, check it out. I made my own forums, but unfortunately, Spreebb has been VERY unreliable recently, and I'm thinking of switching forums. No idea which one to pick though.

As said before, the forum may be down to the the unreliability of Spreebb. What to switch to...

So, how did I do for my first time editing a map? Since I'm new, don't expect me to do any major changes (like new races or anything); I'm mainly sticking to the easy stuff first. It will be a long time before I actually do anything exciting; I don't have much free time to play nowadays.

I'm in DIRE need of feedback, suggestions, and all that! Check out the change logs either in-game or on my forum (if it ever works; damned Spreebb!), and tell me if I've done a good job so far!

P.S. What's a good forum to switch to? PhPBB? Is that also user friendly and free?

Burbenog is one of my favourite TDs!
If you want someone to help you with the map i will gladly!
The game works extremely well, except if you have retards in your team that refuse to share towers, or refuse to build once u pay them.

Also it takes almost half a round for your builder to walk to another persons part to build... maybe give builders teleport (blink).

yeah PhPBB is the best i know of!
(ill post bigger latter, no time!)

PS i tryed to download and it said i dled instantly, and my dl speed was 14000kb/s? i think mine is usualy slower then that...

I'm pretty sure he wont mind though, seeing as how he did in fact unprotect the map.

So what did you actually change about the map? It sounds like you really didn't change anything from your post.

An even better question is what are you changing?
