Hey man,

Normally I'm against arenas on principle, simply because I find it very hard to create a fair and balanced scenario without an enormous amount of effort - effort that no one seems to have expended thus far.

However, I really like the sound of your idea. If I'm not mistaken, you're going to have the levelling and fighting areas separate, and the levelling will involve killing hard creeps together, not just mopping up hundreds of small mobs, right?

Anyway, this actually sounds pretty cool and well thought out, so I'm going to offer my services conditionally. First, though, could you elaborate on what exactly you need help with? If it's terraining, I'm afraid I'm not the man for the job, but if it's any Trigger work, Object editing, or custom creep or hero design, count me in.

Still, know that I'm putting large amounts of work into my currect project, "Once upon an RPG," so if someone else volunteers who has an empty plate at the moment, you might just want to choose them.

Also, lastly, and out of curiosity, how exactly does one collaborate effectively on something like Object data? I mean, from what I've seen of the Object Editor, it's either all or nothing. You can't very easily just import units one at a time, if at all. So, if, when you say it's 50% done, you mean that Terrain and Objects are complete, for example, but you have no Triggers, that would seem a lot easier than if you've done a little bit of everything. Of course, we could always send the file back and forth, but that's obviously not the most efficient way to work.

Yeap, ill be glad to help you on your map, maybe we can work 2gether for both?

Well, so far my map has been a pretty solo operation, mainly because I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to these things. So, I'm not excluding you to be elitist, but simply because I think I work best alone. At the moment, Jimpy is actually helping with some of the terraining, but he's doing it as an improvement sort of job so that we can both stay out of each other's way .

Anyway, sorry I brought it up in the first place; I suppose it was a little egotistical of me.
