Features
) A spell system that uses Protoss Buildings as the prompt and Vespene Gas as the mana resource.
) Spells are unique with each player and can be combined for interesting effects.
) An inventory system that uses units to represent resource items such as ores, hides, runes and crystals.
) A trading system which allows the players to exchange resource items.
) Ores, randomized drops from units, and portals are just some of the resource acquisition methods available to the player.
) A text-based item system which uses Units to represent Item Slots and Text and Death Counters to represent Items.
) A day/night system which uses rooster/owl sound effects and the Countdown Timer alert the player to time changes
) An experience system which uses Leaderboard and Death Counters to display your Level and the required experience for another Level.
) A conversation system which uses Protoss Buildings as a prompt.
) A dynamic spawn system which uses a single location and burrowed units along with Switch Randomization and Death Counters for unpredictable spawning.
) Boss battles which each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses (and an array of spells) which will keep the battles fresh and exciting.
) A Mercenary and Pet system, each with their own items, spells, and upgrades. These companions will follow you automatically, though you can also control them manually.
) Quick Time Events, which involve button spamming in order to acquire items or badly damage a boss. It uses the Protoss Gateway as a prompt.
) Extended terrain (thank you Terrain Hall of Fame) is used in some areas, with further patches planned to convert the rest to extended terrain.
) An in-depth storyline to keep the players on the edge of their seat, as well as optional side quests. Further patches will complete this feature.

12.07.10 - Hey everyone thanks for checking this out, and thanks for downloading and playing if you have done that as well. This is my first attempt at a professional map, I don't have much mapping experience but thanks to SEN & Maplantis, specifically the Map Making Assistance areas, my skills with SCMDraft 2.0 have greatly improved. I have had this map in the works for several years now, though I haven't worked on it for nearly that long. I have just been chipping away at it every now and then, though I have finally got sick of having it hovering over my shoulder and have decided to work on it a lot more rigorously then before. To think, I didn't even know what Death Counters were when I first started! Sadly, I still have a bit of work ahead of me, and I would like you all to treat this as a beta version. I plan on pumping out the rest (there is only superficial stuff to do now, since all the groundwork is done) in the next couple of weeks. You should have around 40-60 minutes of enjoyable gameplay before you run into bug territory though, so don't let that discourage you from giving it a go. I would greatly appreciate reviews, criticisms, comments, bug finding, etc. also. Thank you all for your continual support and have fun playing HA, expect the fully polished and 100% complete version within the next couple weeks (fingers-crossed). Enjoy!
Downloads
Attached is the Tome of Sighan, which has an in-depth tutorial as the in-game tutorial had to be short and to the point due to string restrictions.
I keep getting SQL errors when I try to upload my maps (maybe something to do with my strings), even though they are both perfectly playable, so I uploaded them on mediafire:
