Is there any chance that you could import ground textures from WOW because SC2 textures stand out, being so low quality compared to the models.

I have tried that, but it seems have problem with the normal map so the ground textures looks so dark.

What if the undead had a Zerg larva quality only with skeletons. Not saying you need to inject but your town hall generated skeletons that would be raised as your troops. I always thought that would be cooler than just training them out if a barracks like other factions.

I've got one suggestion: make a core idea of what you wish to add, fewer is better. Don't add everything. You've got a great ability judging by the screen, so try to make a core idea and then start adding the stuff based on how things go by

Hey Steven, I still play against the computer once in a while to see how you're doing. I always played undead in wc3, super excited for a "wow-ified" version... have fond memories of blood queen, i remember she gave some crazy damage buff

WAH Undead Unit: Twin Valkrie -- Light & Dark

The new undead unit is Twin Valkrie, they born and die together -- When Valkrie Twin are trained, they came out together as one unit and when one of them died, the other will die immediately.

Valkrie the Light will heal all undead units around when attacking, while Valkire the Dark, the twin sister, add Mana to all undead friendlies. Is it similar to some unit in Warcraft III?

Hi Steven, I love that you've made this map and i greatly look forward to playing the Scourge as they were my favorite in WC3. I hope that this map grows in popularity as i'm sure there are alot of people who would like a shot at playing a modernized Warcraft RTS. There are some things that need tweaking however and I've compiled a list on things that you may want to address. I hope this doesn't come across as offensive in that there's quite a few things I have found.
I have only mainly played the Eversong map so these problems might not be across all maps.

Issues:
Alliance guard tower 5x5 instead of 2x2 (intentional?)
Grand Druid does no damage in bear form (intentional?)
While in Moonkin Form a Druid has the same hotkey for Bear Form and Tears of Elune.
Horde Hero Undead Highlords skills feel very weak (200 dmg on frostbolt @lvl 3 compared to Eredars 400, Ultimate feels lackluster)
Silvermon Ranger has no mana abilities - remove mana or add cost to explosive shot.
I noticed on the Stormwind map that Succubus needed a tech lab for some reason, maybe map specific problem (fine in Eversong)
Wrathguard - only costs 1 mithril to upgrade! Old tooltip saying it needs 1 talent point.
Felhunter - only costs 2 mithril to upgrade burning rush (intentional due to high gold cost?)

TOOLTIPS
Argent Hippogryphs, Gryphons, Windrider and Netherdrakes armour shows as terran ship plating.
Footman Shield Wall reads as a Burning Legion sacrifice pact grimoire tooltip.
Druid in Bear form - Charge ability - refers to Druid as a Paladin.
Moonkin is described as being able to cast Starfall - ability it uses is actually Tears of Elune.
Workers have some weird thing about SCV's.
Holy Paladin upgrade blessing of might refers to Bloodknight (the hero)
Windriders upgrade is the same as argent hippogryphs (Healing Stream) So what does it actually do? a slow? a poison dot?
Describe the Horde's Sunwalkers life regen aura in its tooltip.
Goblin Lab says it can train goblin mechanical units - add a demolisher here (see suggestions)
Fury Mage says it requires crystal forge, actually requires fel forge.
Felguard is described as needing a talent point to upgrade to wrathguard.
Add description to say what the felflame effect is on Netherdrake upgrade.

SUGGESTIONS
Allow researching of building upgrades? ie Townhall into Castle with a ranged attack and similar for all races. Alliance fortify buildings with more armour, Horde be able to have peons get inside burrows and shoot (WC3 style), Burning legion teleporter get free imps after some upgrade maybe? (not grimoire version), Scourge allow blight to slow enemy move speed or something. Defenses would be nice especially now the Headless Horseman summon is gone.
Make Custom UI.
Stop those damn Crack Elves using aoe CC with massive range!
Add seige units - Demolisher, Glaive Thrower / Steam tank, Fel cannon, Meat Wagon - Train at upgrade buildings (Blacksmith, Goblin Lab, Fel Forge, whatever Scourge one will be)
Max lvl for Heroes is 6 (intentional?) I actually kinda like this - means having more specific builds rather than max lvling everything.
Show lvl of creeps on mouseover / selection, or colour coordinate their difficulty on map.
Reduce size of Aldor Guard and Sunwalker.
Reduce spell effects so we can actually see things - Thunderking is the main culprit here as well as fire splashes.

Looking forward to your next Update!

A bit of update in the help menu could be useful for basics of how to play? Like, if you have a thought about how the standard game should be played out, you can add a couple of lines about it in the help menu. Also some tooltip on for example gold mines to show how many workers can be working a single one.

Beast master: Summon War Eagle has air misspelled as "are".

When wc3 was under development, they said they hoped the undead could be different from the other races in that it could gather resources in the form of corpses from creeping rather than gold, and raise part of its army from this pool too.

They decided it wasn't viable, but man it would have been cool.
