The Grand Review Exchange!
Hiveworkshop 发起「The Grand Review Exchange!」活动，用户私信地图作者配对并互换项目评测。活动列出 Realm of Kings、AoT Dominance、Sand Storm Arena（支持 Classic and Reforged）等地图，要求一周内完成评测否则暂禁。评测时禁止在 World Editor 打开地图，除非作者允许。
-Every time you write a review for someone else, you will get one yourself.-
This thread is for all the people eager to get feedback on their developing or finished projects.
How it works
| 1. Find a map in the list below that you think looks interesting. |
|
| 2. Send a private message to the author of the map, asking if they want to do a review exchange. |
|
| 3. If the author accepts your exchange request, download their map, play it, and submit a review to the author. |
| Done! Now all you have to do is wait until the author writes you a review on your project. | |
|
| If you want to add your project to the list below, reply to this thread with a link to your project and a short description of it. I'll add you to the list of projects as soon as I can. |
Rules and Guidelines
- You only owe the other person onereview. If it is not playable by some bug or similiar, the author can only blame himself.
- You are however responsible to tell the author what happened with as much detail as you can.
- Remember to limit yourself if you are about to review larger projects like entire campaigns or RPGs. Make a deal with the other person about how much you should test it out.
- If you fail to leave a review within a week on a project after agreeing to do so, you may be banned from this project for some time.
- You may never open the map you are reviewing in the World Editor, unless the author allows it.
- Projects should be uploaded to the Map's Section of the Hive or have a well designed and active Map Development Thread.
How to review projects
Here are some useful things to have in mind when you are reviewing.
- Try to be polite and relaxed.
- Point out everything that you like.
- Try not to compare a map with another.
- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself!
- Try to stay objective. Include your own opinions, but don't let them take over.
- Constructive feedback!
Here are a few ideas on what to include in a review, and how to categorize them.
- Gameplay - Here you can discuss Balance, Funfactor, Feeling, Originality
- Aesthetics - Here you can discuss Terrain, Loading Screen, Preview Picture, Description on The Hive, In-game texts, UI
- Bugs - All bugs that you can find in the game should be listed here.
- Summary - What you thought in general about the whole bundle, and perhaps the most important things that you think should be changed.

List of projects
| Realm of Kings by Ballonskipper  In a realm on the edge of existence three powerful kings have waged war with one another for eons, yet still no victor has been found. That ends today. The kings have decided to finish their struggle once and for all with one final battle and have called upon various heroes from other worlds and times to help them. You are one of those mighty heroes and there's only one thing you can do to asure victory for your king: Kick. Some. Ass.
|
| AoT Dominance by @FeelMyRash In AoT Dominance you play as one of nine Titans and must capture the others through combat. Each Titan is unique and offers different strengths and weaknesses. |
| TSH Heroes and Creeps by @TheSilverhand Welcome to the Kingdom of Resalia a neighboring Kingdom to Hailven Keep. Darkness has come to take the Kingdom and its up to the heroes to save the day. However, There are certain items that can benefit each side. Attacking DM-Invaders/Neutral Hostile can decrease your reputation and allow you to buy some powerful Infamous items. or you can gain reputation to get great items to benefit the kingdom. This map comes with already preset monsters. there are custom items and custom models being used in the map. the map was hand crafted by myself. Hero abilities will scale with their stats. Each hero has a spell book with "Custom" abilities which mostly scale with stats. |
| Sand Storm Arena by @Galyov A PVP arena with its main goal to capture enemy flags and destroy them, taking control of 4 points in the middle of the map, while carrying the the flags. Includes mostly intelligent AI. There are 20 heroes to choose from, all having great skills and quite distinctive gameplay. Heroes are able to mix their skills with those of other heroes, which can take the gameplay to unpredictable heights. There are purchasable minor skills, consumables and multi-tiered armour, which can be improved by attaching gemstones. As opposed to classic hero arenas, here you can train and upgrade units and build towers. This creates the potential of sparking a large scale battle. In addition 2 neutral naga factions participate in the fight and you can capture them to fight for you. Teamwork is a must when playing in 2v2, 3v3 or 2v2v2. FFA is also possible with up to 4 players, it could become a hell to destroy a flag with 5 or 6 players without teams, but will surely be a fighting fun. The map can be played on Classic and Reforged. |
| LINE TOWER + BOTS by @Herohatcher Felito Line Tower War "buuh, not another Copy and Paste Line Tower map.." you hear them moaning. But you may be surprised if you risk a peak at it. It's made from scratch, here are some innovative features to it:
-Independent new set of 48 creeps, 100+ towers and 6 elements |
| BtT Survival by @Kam A dynamic survival game based on the lore and races of the altered melee Beyond the Throne. Pick a single hero, and choose to explore the ravaged lands around your base for resources and experience as you build an army with up to two friends, or become death itself and attack the Survivors. | |
| King of War by @victorhungria King of War, or KoW, is a slightly different Hero Arena, as the object of the game is not just to kill, but to help your king win the war of kings. War of Kings happen every time slot. Until then, you must develop your hero by farming, and preventing your enemies from developing theirs by killing them. The whole game is designed to have a fast mechanic. Low spell cast cooldowns, low mana cost, and short deactivation abilities, teleports all over the map (except directly to base). |
| All New Races by @Luthfandino Its an Altered Melee Map with 8 new races, new mechanics, custom tech-tree, new custom abilities It also has an AI for all the new races, and can be adjusted with difficulty. |
| Legion Invasion of Turtle Rock by @Hive_Parasite A normal map with a minor twist - a "Legion invasion" themed titleset. No triggered spells (too lazy to make and balance them for now) | |
| Warcraft IV - Lost Temple by @Homer123 The map is an altered melee map where I added tons of new features, heroes and units, most of which are brand new ideas that don't exist today. Here's the map link |
| Battle between universes by @PyramidHeadUA Global mod on the classic “Crossroads” map with the expansion of the main races and the addition of new ones from different universes. The choice of race is made through the initial town hall. At the moment there are the following races: Alliance: High Elves (WoW), Space Marines (WH40K) Horde: CIS(Star Wars), Galactic Empire(Star Wars),Mordor(Lotr) Undead: Zerg(Starcraft) |
| RPG Strategy Campaign - The Songs of Altharya by @Lysandrei The Songs of Altharya is a single-player RPG and strategy campaign currently in development. Created by Lysandrei, this map blends exploration and tactical squad control with deep lore and elaborate cinematics. | |
| Two Sides by @MistTteR This is a unique MOBA map where each hero has a teleport that instantly moves them to any allied unit, with a 10-second cooldown. At the start of the game, you choose one of eight available auras from the Knight in the center of the map. As your hero levels up, you earn Tree and Gold: Tree is spent on abilities, most of which can be upgraded infinitely, allowing you to create your own combinations and playstyle. |
| The Exanimate by @Fendol Once upon a time, there was a warrior willing to fight for his people, but despite fighting with all his might, corruption entered his mind and it all ended... or at least... that's what it seems. Hero or Villain? He has been revived by a mysterious force. The ruler has drawn the attention of the Order of Light – the paladins who still fight against the forces that seek to destroy the Alliance. A great war is approaching. The demons are still strong. Will humans and elves perish, or will they win this war for eternal peace? Is it all in your hands, Hero? Prove your worth in a fight for the strongest. Make decisions, form alliances, and change the course of history. A difficult and lengthy challenge, but fun and full of interesting missions! |
Alrighty!
This is my prologue to a campaign I'm trying/wanting to create:
Somewhere Across Nowhere
The map was uploaded as a standalone because of its different gameplay from the other maps I plan to create which will be more Warcraft III oriented.
Basically, you play as Illidan and have to escape dangers (like creatures running after you, timed booby-trapped rooms), traps and solve puzzles to get further and finally reach the end. It also includes cinematic scenes, a brief story and original music. It's pretty much reflex and quick-thinking based. It also has two difficulties.
Great!
Added to the list.
Don't be shy people!
We need more people to get the ball rolling! 
Well, I think I can join:
Rise of the Night Elves
This is a night elven campaign. I have great ideas for it. It's good to be here too.
I described the campaign in it's thread.
Welcome!
Could you just make a short summary of your project? Something about the length of the others in the list?
Great Idea! Too bad I can't participate right now because my map is a bit broken because of the patch.
I'll most likely join this - just to get a bit more work up on my project first.
Fantastic idea!

What do you mean?
What do you mean?
LIKE THIS:
The Warden project contains a series of dungeon-like maps, containing a big amount of puzzles, boss fights and obstacles, which are enchanced further by a custom arrow key movement system.
Does the map have to be (or already) in the map section or I may just upload/provide a link to the map or the project I have been working on which is not in the map section?
@Wareditor, you are with us in our souls.
Joins us whenever you can!
@Apheraz Lucent
Thanks!
I've had this idea for a while, and just now decided to make something out of it.
@PrinceYaser
I wrote this about my on project: "The Warden project contains a series of dungeon-like maps, containing a big amount of puzzles, boss fights and obstacles, which are enchanced further by a custom arrow key movement system."
Write a short summary like taht but about your project instead, and I can add it to the list.
@Rheiko, It must be in the maps section or map development forum so we can have a link to it from the list.
Hmmm.... If I were to join, what campaign would you want me to link here?
The one where you kill Demons, the one where you kill Demons, the one were you kill Demons or the one where you kill Demons? 
All of them if you wish!
There is no limit per person.
Ooo, very interesting. How did you come up with this?
Pure brainpower.
My Campaign: SHADOWMANCER: DYNAMIC RPG CAMPAIGN v 1.4.2G
This is single hero RPG campaign that may give you a challenge.
Also this campaign contains plot with character development.
One disadvantage you probably found is long loading time.
The campaign is fully finished. left only some balancing in some chapters for Normal Mode. Easy Mode for those who want to play for story.

Okay, here is the description:
Like other campaigns, you play as the main character that here is a Night Elven commander called Thalaaria. It has a custom night elven story about the war between The Burning Legion and the race of the Night Elves. For now, chapter one and prologue is completed. It has good terrain and It is going to has great features in the future missions. I was working on chapter one about 2 weeks. There is still a lot of points to improve. I will never get bored from making it. So, play and Enjoy!
I present you "Crusade over Europe" ; Fantasy edition.
Grand Strategy risk type map featuring a unique supply system that may hinder your campaign if you do not plan well.
The Fantasy edition brings you 7 races:

@Fruit Forest
Added you to the list!
@PrinceYaser
I just shortened your summary a little, and added a small preview picture.
Tell me if you want to alter it!

War of Sanctity II (WoS II)
A great AoS/Moba mod for Warcraft 3 that suffered various changes in every update. Same as any other AoS, it is based on the war of two great armies that send creeps to advance towards the enemy principal structure. Each team formed of 5 players that choose one of the current heroes and help their team to fight against the opposite one. I love this project with my very heart and I am continuing to update it forever! WoS II has stopped being updated because with the new patch , I can finally create War of Sanctity 3. Will be out soon.
It has good terrain and It is going to has great features in the future missions.
Please add this.
@SNIper of DARKness
I'll just restructure your summary a little to fit them with the others. I also added a preview picture. You are welcome to provide a better one!
@Alxen345

Yes thank you, that's alright though there is a little mistake I made, I said 9 races but there only 7, would you mind correcting that one please.
Sure!
I thought about it too, but forget to say anything.
This is a great idea! Helping people discover maps!
There might be concerns about multiplayer maps though.
But I would certainly love to participate if my map is playable on time.
@deepstrasz
Thanks for msging me about this. This is a great idea, thank you
Thanks!
Yeah, I have my bright moments.
People with multiplayer maps have to realize that they are asking one person to review it, so they can't expect to recieve a review from someone who played it with lots of others.
You are welcome to join anytime!

For maps that have AI won't be a need to be played with people, I guess.

I don't find that a problem, it could be easily solved in the private conversation.
How much developed does the map need to be? I mean mine is completely playable and well polished, just a bit short of content (altough filing up 0,5 - 1 hours), but i see some big ones floating around here. Need to work mine just a little up anyway, suffered from a fatal error and need to look how to reproduce it ^^
There is no limit on how finished your project must be! You can upload a dirt square if you wish, but I don't think that you would recieve any valuable feedback.
I'd suggest to fix that fatal errror and then join this thread.
Yey, it would be nice to see my project there (link)
Description is in the thread.

You should at least give a basic description.
I added it to the list.
Damn, so many maps I know is cool, but that I already reviewed.
Oh this is a good project!
Revenants of Ruins
Revenants of Ruins
Revenants of Ruins is a combination of MOBA with the twist of Arena and Capturing Flag. Your objective is to kill Relic Revenant at the center of the island (or map) and survive a duration inside the temple (middle area of the map). It is focusing on competitive gameplay using generic Warcraft 3 resources. It is not as easy as you think it is.
Haha @deepstraz must be commenting on me. Was writing it.

For the love of not spamming this thread, @Rufus change the colour of the line where it says users have to write a short description of their work...
I underlined it and made it italic.
@Heaven Editor, please edit your last post to have a small description too, and I'll include you in the list.
Sadly I do not have a project myself... though I like this thread. Subscribing.
Make a project and join then!
Your skills can be put well to use here, as they have in the maps section.
Hour of the Scourge
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/hour-of-the-scourge-andorhal.290359/#post-3121748
An altered melee map that will function as the baseline to balance and develop custom races for a campaign that I have in mind if this works out. You can play as the Kirin'tor, Argent Crusade or the Scourge, the map has 3 open slots for AI players for alpha testing purpose, if a multiplayer match can't be arranged. All three factions as completely playable at this point, there will be, however, some missing tooltips here and there.

Is it alright if I participate with a standalone windows game that I've created?
@Rex. You mean your map or your window game?
Anyway, I'll preparing my project first before participating.
I'm looking for some feedback and suggestions for improvements on this map:
Prophet's Gambit is based on the idea of a sandbox styled AoS map with a boss rush arena and item based Hero/skill builds.
The map itself allows you to pick a side or go neutral, and change your hero OR side at will (within limitations).
There's building aspects, co-op with challenging boss fights, and competitive play with 4 different ways to win the game.
Plenty of hidden "legendary" items can be acquired through various means.
Suggested players: 2 to 8
Average play time: 1 - 2 hours
@Rex. You mean your map or your window game?

My windows game ofcourse. I stopped making maps for a very long time.
My windows game ofcourse. I stopped making maps for a very long time.
I don't think that's possible. They're only reviewing maps obviously.
@izaiphovias, added your project to the list!
@Rex., Sorry, but I think we'll stick to maps for now. However, there seems to be an interest for other resources such as stories or, as here, windows games.
I'm having an idea for alternative resources though, so keep your eyes open.
@Wark, I'll add you to the list in a while, I need to go right now.
First of all, thank you for introducing this to me (@deepstrasz), (@Rufus) for initiating the post, this map is a hero defense game, each player use a hero and fight with waves of armies against an enemy team. The main objective is to take down enemy team's base and defend your team's base.
Features simple item upgrades and many interesting heroes, most of the original heroes remain unchanged.
Added Wark's and Destiny.Knight's projects to the list.
Welcome guys!
Here's my map.
It's a map that based off in one of the flash games called 'Age of War'
It's a offense map that your priority is to defeat your opponent by sending out troops.
Added!
I'll just altered your description slightly. Tell me if you want me to change it!
