This scenario is a based on the mythos of Warcraft, specifically the information attained through playing World of Warcraft that I myself engaged in, with a few additions. The sides are Arthas, the Forsaken, Night Elves, Orcs, Kalimdor Humans, Stormcity Humans, Dwarves, and Goblins based in Booty Bay. All the Dungeons from the game have been laid out in the Caverns, and contain valuable treasure and loot, but are heavily guarded. Numerous text events and mini-quests abound above and below ground. Almost all hero pictures and all Leader pictures are from WoW or WoW artwork. Basically, if you like WoW and AoW, then hopefully you will like this mod. |

;)
This is the second map today that I saw from a unknown mapmaker that completely blew me away. What action these days in the downloads section!
World of Warcraft is an extremely ambitious XL monster map, and I know many people that would have started out to make a map like this and never finish. Closer762 finishing something this detailed and sizable is very impressive, and only few can say that they have!
:)
The mappainting is very detailed and extremely varied! Exploring this map must be true joy if you like seeing different things around every corner. In some cases, I feel it is even too varied, a bit of overkill. The design sometimes looks like een 'Lappendeken', as I would call it in dutch. This means that the landscape seems composed and tied together like separate colorful patches. The mapmaker could also use some more elevations, imo.
Please don't misunderstand me, the mappainting is ABSOLUTELY great! The above is more a matter of (nitpicking) personal taste. A very creative and persistent mind made this jewel and you'll appreciate it when you download it!
This map has a solid story and it is supported throughout by numerous events, and some of more complexity than 'Show message'! There are no hero or Wizard descriptions, but there are a lot of wonderful custom portraits (I have a feeling where those would be inspired on). You can see that a lot of care went into the background.
Can't say much for balance because the map is big but it looks good!
Anyway, I am typing too much. The map looks like a real jewel! Play it and you're very welcome to the mapmaking world, Closer762! By the looks of this, you've definitely left your mark!

One thing though:
When you get the idol to the middle island you win. This is in fact easier than cleaning the bugs in southern Azeroth. The last party on the altar had 1 green dragon and some weaker stuff, while the last bug party had 1 queen and 3 lords.
Anyway, it's really fun how you managed to get in each region and put in some of the dungeons. I've got no idea on the balance of this map (Jeina seems to have it hard in the beginning...) but then again I don't worry too much about that anyway. |

Now I got 3 heroes (weird names) who are kicking other wizzies asses with a group of black knights, bone horrors and undead dragons. This map is good. |

As a former wow player myself, is it cool to play this map in AoW, I haven't finished yet, but I enjoy it so far
Balance: 4
Good balance, the only thing is with the AI. It have an hard time with the heavy guarded world.
Creativity: 4
Not realy creative to copy a wow map, but I don't think anyone have done it before, so therefore i'll give you a 4
Map Design: 5
A good detailed map, with a lot of variations. You've done a realy good job copying the wow map. Many of the dungeons are nearly identical as they are in real wow (some are complete different too, but they are impossible to make identical). The map doesn't feel empty at all, cause it's always something to do/discover.
Story/Instructions: 5
Good use of signs and such, but the heroes doesn't have descriptions. Not that I realy care, but maybe someone else does:P
Additional Comments:
Try to use the elevation tool to make the map even more interesting.[Edited on 07/15/07 @ 05:44 PM]

I am working on a battle map with a great deal of randomness. Do you mind if I borrow your heroes? |
