problem with Victory conditions?

hello, im a newbie @ wc3 map maker we.

i just wanted to make a simple map, for me and a buddy. but it turns out its so much harder than it seems.. *obviously now that ive tried*

if someone could just help me with this thing... someone could help me how to create a map , where like there are just heros. like 2 heros on 1 side, and 2 heros on the other side, maybe some creeps inbetween and some trees. w/o none of the "Town Centers" and the "peasants" always jumping in, i tried deleting some trigger, i dont got no peasants anymore, but whenever i "test" the map... it says

"You have failed to achieve victory.."

- please help

I can help you out if you go into a bit more detail about the map, and what you want it to do. Is there anything special about it, or is it just a basic fight between heroes? What is the map about? Only 2 players? Need more info.

well, i want it to be a 3 player game... ive titled it "Slayers of the Abyss"

want it to be quite simple, although with a potential of growing and more complex as i become more knowledgeable with WC3WE. 3 Heros travel the underground abyss to defeat the prime "demon" (which would be computer) of the underground.

i would like for there to be creeps for the heros to get a chance to level, and a chance for them to acquire, 2 items each maybe as they further their journey. the map currently is in "small". as i would like it to be.

i would like help, so the map does not end. there is no victory or defeat condition, until the prime-demon is dead, or until ALL 3 heros have died.

That's all really simple to do. What kind of help do you need? Like, do you want me to show you the triggers to put in the map, or do you need terrain, or what?

thanks much i appreciate it.

if your good with triggers, that would really help me out. im very new wit this. and im gettin confused really easily. so yes, triggers would help me out a lot.

if you could help me out on my MAJOR problem. is when i "test" the map it just says "You have failed to achieve victory" ... the map lasts for like 2 seconds, then that dialog box comes up. so if you could help me. i would really appreciate it.

Here, do you have AIM or MSN? If you can send me the map I can fix that problem in a snap. I just really don't feel like typing it all out right now unless I really need to.
