Controlled Monster Arena

Hello everyone. First of all, I'm sorry for my English skills...
I would like to show you my map that I made with help of UniMod. (Thanks to Dio, TheSim and Evengard for this awesome thing!)
You can play as one of 16 available monsters. Each monster has different powers and attributes (attack, health and so on)
The goal is to get into enemy team base and destroy special Statue, or survive until the time limit ends (optional)
Map is suited for 2 teams, Arena or Elimination game mode.
I uploaded archive containing map and required UniMod scripts here.
To host the map, you first need to unpack this archive into Nox folder and run game using NoxPatched_UniMod.exe.
There is also a small table included; I created it in order to help you understand each monster's powers.

(I tried to attach everything, but got error message saying "mobarena9.zip => The uploaded file is empty.")
Everything is in active development, so feel free to post your ideas/opinions.

I wonder, how awesome it would be if there were Players (as Jack's) fighting to break down the Statue.
So everything would be just like in this map, but instead of Monsters, we would play as Jack's.

Would it be a good idea to make that implemented?

No problem.
Atleast I haven't seen any maps like that before in NoX. This could be something totally new, and even more Teamplay/Co-op.
