Everything is luck-based, even the terrain... (a healing fountain close to your base and such).
I wouldn't say this map has an actual gameplay, because it doesn't.

OK, just tested your map, great idea, but it's lacking here's why:
- the randomness could be impoved, but it's fine as it stands.
- suggestion for randomness would be to make it of a certain tileset, if I got time i could write one for you, if you ask me.
- How do you capture someone's base, if you can (looked im map code and found no way).
- Also, how do you get mroe than 3 units?
There are some positives:
+ great idea
+ good use oof randomness
+ uber small filesaze
+ up-protected
With that said I'd give it a 2/5, only because it lacks a few things, like a way to win/lose. I think this can be improved 100 fold, only because you could go great palces with this, not because this version sucked, it was fine.Also; can I use your randomness method? If so I'd love it.
-Thanks, Zeatherann

Well, thanks for the review. I plan to redo the random unit spawn to be a bit more balanced. Right now, each player recieves three diffrent units, and when one dies another will spawn. I am going to change that, to this system:
You can choose one of three options: weak, medium or strong units. If you choose weak units, you will get three level 1-4 spawned units. If you choose medium, you will get two 5-7 units, and if you choose strong you will get one level 8-10 unit.
I'm also going to make changes to the random terrain to increase the variety of spawned doodads, and plan (although this won't happen soon) to replace Blizzard creeps with 100% custom units made by me.
I will also add the ability to destroy opponent's control points, redo the command post abilities, and add a point system to purchase upgrades.

As for the triggering, go ahead and use it if you want, and I don't care about credits.

EDIT: I just noticed it is created by "Absent". I wanted to use that name, but someone else beat me to it. That will be changed to "Crazy Cow" ASAP.

ok nice, sounds great for the balance things with the number of units spawned, can't wait (how ever long, if i remember) to see the custom units and other changes. Thanks for the free use of your triggers
Lastly; if I have time i could help you and such, but I use JASS, and I'll probly never touch vJASS hehe.
-Thanks, Zeatherann

I want you to review maps O_O (and not only you), of course you can review them
(honest*)

ok this thread is, kinda 'dead', but im here to share a piece of advice, if you want the 'spawn random creep type' trigger to truly spawn from all the 272 creeps types i suggest (this'll take a while) to change all the tilesets available for each mob to the current tileselt your map is, if not setting it to 'all'. thanks for the permission and encouragement ap0calypse.
