Azeroth Defenders:Defense of Stormwind
v1.29
Created by aiDer
Hello, and welcome to the last days of The Lich King!
I will be very grateful if you take time to read the description and play the map. If you like it, please vote for approval!
I have tried to balance DoS so it can be played from 1vsComp to 4vsComp, from Compvs1 to Compvs4, or from 1vs1 to 4vs4, but the best experience is gained by playing against The Lich King, since StormwindComputerVsPlayers is just extra-material added in v1.28!
Azeroth Defenders is the main title of the game, and Defense of Stormwind is like the signature title. Like Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - Lord of the Rings: Two Towers etc. Become an Azeroth Defender at Facebook now! Facebook Fansite
Enjoy! I hope you'll have fun with this special and unique HeroDefense!
Map Info:
Defense of Stormwind is a mix of HeroDefense, a little TD, PvP and hopefully some interesting bossfights.
Stormwind is currently the humans greatest city. But now the Lich King has heard of Deathwing's arrival, and is
nerdraged to hear about the popularity around him. So now he has marched into the rocky mountains,
covering Stormwind's backdoor, which also is the least defended spot of the city. Reinforcements have to be called,
extra defenses have to be built, and heroes need to be summoned!
Terrain Description:
I have been playing some HeroSiege/Defense, TD etc. and got really bored of all the symetrical and simple terrain. Its easy to path units and finish, but I really can't make my first map like that. Therefore I have used a couple of hours extra on terrain.
I also thought about the way nature dies. In some maps I have seen a undead invasion coming, so they have splitted the map in 2, one half green and full of life, and the other half with blight everywhere and no life. Anyway I wanted to make the nature die slowly. The trees for example is: Green, Orange/Brown and then blighted. So is the grass changes. The undeads has just arrived and the change from life to death isnt that quick. So the forest, grass and flowers is slowly getting swallowed by the blight, infestations and maggots. You have to save it!
Also, the nature near the water is the strongest. You see for example the lake have blight all around it, but is still fighting.
Some areas still is pretty open and with little doodads, but when all these
undeads mass towards the Stormwind gate you need a lot of space!
As for the placing of Blight, I would like to experiment with its effect on undead units' higher HP regeneration on Blighted Ground. Most of the undead units have higher HP regeneration on blight, and some units have MASSIVE regeneration on blight, which almost force you to find an unblighted spot, and drag the unit to that spot, in order to kill the unit faster, or kill it at all!
Other from that, I have just tried out things in the terrain editor. Doing what I can with my little knowledge.

Units Description:
There are 2 Forces in this map, The Stormwind Defense and The Lich King.
The Stormwind Defense controlls all the units that are sent towards the undead forces with the Offensive Headquarters, aswell as having up to 4 allied players on their team. TSD also have some units around the map fighting the undead, to make the map more dynamic. The humans and dwarves is the main protectors of Stormwind City, but since the great nature around Stormwind is in danger, the Night Elves have come to aid Stormwind, therefore there will be some Night Elf heroes aswell.
The Lich King controlls all the undead units sent towards the Stormwind Gate with the periodic waves, he also own the undead bases with the Mystic Energy Forces. The Lich Kings forces have up to 4 allied players, which can pick one special unit from a shop in the main undead base. So The Lich Kings forces is mostly everything hostile on the map for Stormwind, except for those 4 Special Units controlled by eventually players, and their other units.
The reason I haven't given the undead heroes, is because 4 undead heroes with all these undead units against 4 Stormwind heroes, would have been overkill. Therefore there are units with abilities instead that can work together to take down one hero at a time. Even if the undead Special Units don't kill a hero, they can slow them down in order for the game to progress longer, resulting in stronger units from The Lich King.
As for the TD part in this. I don't want towers to dominate the game. Therefore I currently have the number of total towers on 4 for each Defensive Headquarter. If you upgrade to the Defensive Headquarter, you will get the Place Tower Foundation ability which costs 50 mana (Defensive Headquarters have 200 mana). Tower foundations can be upgraded to either a Basic Frost Tower, Basic Fire Tower or Basic Buffer Tower. All these three types of towers, can be further upgraded.
Modes and Commands:
I have chosen to try out a different difficulty system than what I've seen before. No matter what mode you choose, you start with the same HP on the undead units, but the mode you choose will affect the handicap+ The Lich King's units get every minute. Mode also affect the amount of gold you get each fourth second. Mode does not affect gold bounty from units!
Not directly a mode, but in v1.28 I added the chance to play as Undead VS Computer. This mode is very simple compared to if you play as a Stormwind Defender, but I had a lot of fun with it. The more undead players against the Stormwind Army, the more damage the Stormwind Army get, and the lesser undead players' units get, so the difficulty is mostly the same. Enjoy!
-easy/-normal/-hard/-veryhard is the four difficulty modes in DoS.
-si | Shared Income. This command shares all your gold income by 15% for each player ally you have.
-roll | Roll. The roll command can be typed by all players. It allows for rolling on items or other things that can't be agreed upon.
-pizza | Pizza Timer. Type this command to start a timer that will alert you in 15min, with the text: Your pizza is finished!.
-elit | Extended Life Increase Timer. This command extend the time before the undead units get HP bonus from 1min to 1min and 30 seconds.
-helper | Helper. Only avaible in SinglePlayer for Stormwind. This command activates a periodic trigger that creates a Stormwind Elite Guard to aid you every third minute. The guard has a high amount of HP armor.
Author's notes: This is my first time with WC3 editor, under two months ago I didnt even know what was possible with the editor, so I still have a lot to learn. Criticism on the project generally is most welcome!
You like the DoS Description I made? Check out a template I made for people who would like to copy it: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/defense-stormwind-v1-24-a-184213/index3.html#post1804052 Enjoy!

Main objective: The Stormwind heroes have been summoned to defend the Stormwind Gate, which is the only defense for the city. Use your gold to enhance your Hero, Army or Towers, or all of them. The undead units grow stronger every minute, so its important to find the source of this invasion quickly, move out!
There are four paths leading towards the Stormwind defenses (one for each player active). And there are total 5 undead bases pumping out units. But one base at a time, when you destroy the first base in your path, the next undead base gets activated, with even harder units, so you have to pull back to the main base to level and gear further up, in order to get to the next base.
Each tier base has one boss spawning every 6 minutes. When Stormwind players kill this boss (which is very annoying), the boss respawns in the main base when the 6 minute timer is over again, for each time the boss spawns it gets more HP! So the Stormwind Heroes has to progress to the next tier base, to stop this boss getting too strong.
In order to destroy a base, the Stormwind Heroes have to destroy these Mystic Energy Forces (looks like a huge Whisps). The Energy Forces protect the surrounding spawning buildings (making them invulnerable).
Loss condition: The Stormwind Gate gets destroyed!
Optional:
-The undeads have infested the mountains elite units in the south. They have been crazed by the undead invasion. Sooner or later, they have to be freed. Go into the mountains and destroy these mighty creatures of the nature, to get a high bounty.
-Gather Titan Essences and get access to the Legendary items. Titan Essences has a small drop chance from Rock Chunks around the map. They can also drop with a higher drop chance, from the two last undead bosses; Deadeye and the Icecrown Overlord.

The Lich King's special units is the kind of units players can controll. They are UNITS you can buy at a building in the main undead base. You choose between Death Mage, Charger, Infestor, Sneaker, Chiller and Remaker. One of these units will be avaible for 1 Food, and when you loose it, you can choose one of them again. (Undead players have max 1 Food).
The Lich King's SWAT unit, the undead players, is not here to only hunt down Stormwind Heroes. They need to help the undead forces damage and destroy the Stormwind Gate. Also, its the SWAT unit's task to defend the Mystic Energy Sources from Stormwind attacks. Your main task, as an undead player, is to make the Stormwind heroes isolate themself near the Stormwind Gate!
The undead players can also buy power ups for the whole Lich King army, buy own units and mass up and buy for example Endurance which increase HP of their own units by 10%.
Loss condition: The Lich King dies.

These are some of the bosses that will appear in the map! Deadeye and the Icecrown Overlord can be rescued by the undead players, so you can controll the bosses!
-Meatball - Huge abbonimation with alot of HP and Armor. Have nasty abilities, but only have his attack available for The Stormwind Gate (charger boss). Every time he spawns, he increases HP a lot.

-Icecrown Overlord - What makes this boss challenging is that when he reach 75% HP, he summons Icecrown Minions, which make the Icecrown Overlord invulnerable. The Minions has to be killed in order to make him vulnerable again, but they have to die within 4 seconds of eachother, or the one living will respawn the two dead, and so on.
-Meatball - Huge abbonimation with alot of HP and Armor. Have nasty abilities, but only have his attack available for The Stormwind Gate (charger boss). Every time he spawns, he increases HP a lot.
-Deadeye - This boss have a HUGE range, so he is able to shoot at the Stormwind Heroes far behind all the undead forces. Stormwind heroes have to push out of the undead masses and reach the merciless Deadeye!
-Icecrown Overlord - What makes this boss challenging is that when he reach 75% HP, he summons Icecrown Minions, which make the Icecrown Overlord invulnerable. The Minions has to be killed in order to make him vulnerable again, but they have to die within 4 seconds of eachother, or the one living will respawn the two dead, and so on.

Modes and Commands:
I have chosen to try out a different difficulty system than what I've seen before. No matter what mode you choose, you start with the same HP on the undead units, but the mode you choose will affect the handicap+ The Lich King's units get every minute. Mode also affect the amount of gold you get each fourth second. Mode does not affect gold bounty from units!
Not directly a mode, but in v1.28 I added the chance to play as Undead VS Computer. This mode is very simple compared to if you play as a Stormwind Defender, but I had a lot of fun with it. The more undead players against the Stormwind Army, the more damage the Stormwind Army get, and the lesser undead players' units get, so the difficulty is mostly the same. Enjoy!
Gold income:
The Stormwind players get gold from killing undead units owned by any of the undead players. They also get gold each fourth second depending on the mode set.
The Lich King players get 2 gold each fourth second (+1 for each Stormwind player active). The Stormwind heroes also award 200 gold if killed.
Use your gold:
The Stormwind heroes can use their gold to buy Offensive Units/Towers, Upgrades for their units or buy several of the 58 items ingame, including 3 Legendary Items (Which also need Titan Essence).
The Lich King players can use their gold to buy units they can controll and upgrades for their units. But remember, the undead Special Units can alone cause much trouble for Stormwind if used properly.

Hostile elite units can be found in the mountains south of The Stormwind Gate. These units give a high amount of gold when killed. They can be hard to kill, so only go for it if your base is defended properly. The undead players can also sneak in and try to defeat them for the gold.
The Lich King has built lumber camps in the woods to the north. The ghouls will at some point harvest all the trees, opening a new path for the undead forces into the farming village. Keep your eyes open!
Boulder the Mountain King have been trapped under the ground by the Lich King, behind the Stormwind Guardian. Bring three heroes to the magical runes and set him free.
The cave next to the spawning spot of Undead Players can be used to move fast to one of the two cave outputs, take a chance!

Q: I can't keep the undeads off the gate! When they are near the gate, they ignore me and attack the gate ONLY. wtf?
A: That's how it works
Right before the gate, there is a Region called Undead Units Last Charge. When they enter this region, they go all in, and focus-attack the gate only. Some of the challenge is to keep them away from that region. You can also slay the undeads further away from the gate, at the entrances of each player
Q: What is and how do I get Titan Essence?
A: Titan Essences is immensely strong materials, which can be combined with magic of Mother Earth to create mighty weapons. Titan Essences has a small drop chance from Rock Chunks or the two last bosses from the Lich King; Deadeye and the Icecrown Overlord.
Q: What does the different colors on all the items mean?
A: Green colored items means that they are uncommon and a little better than white items.
Blue colored items means that they are superior compared to white items.
Purple colored items means that they are epic compared to white items.
Orange colored items are the strongest items in Azeroth and is called Legendary items.
Q: Why doesn't the undead players have Heroes?
A: Because they have the chance to buy a lot of undead units in the Slaughterhouse, a hero plus all these unit would've been overkill.

After a lot of games I have noticed that there is just too many undead units. For example, I watched a game with 4 Stormwind players VS 1 undead player and 1 undead wave for each Stormwind player. In these matches, if a player's hero got undeads from one of the other players waves he easily became overrun. They also tried push, but when the Skeleton Lords came it was just too much, these matches didnt even see the third boss.. So now I have done changes like halving most waves of undead units, increasing HP of each undead instead. I have also doubled CD for abilities like Raise Dead. Less undeads, and a little more HP will also make DoS more friendly for heroes with little AoE spells.
I have also done some testing, and the results have been pleasing; We could'nt do 4vsComp on -Easy before the changes in 1.23, now its possible to do it on -Hard! But don't cry if you like masses of undead, there is still a lot of undeads pushing the gate Enjoy!

Hi, i tested your map but i was only able to play for like 10 minutes then the game was over. I played solo on easy mode.
I picked to defend Stormwind, picked a hero and bought some items and then i saw units hitting the gate.
There was like nothing i could do cuz the undead units ignored me and slaughtered my gate and then i lost. (Tho it took some time for them to destroy it)
I picked the big bloodelf dude (don't remember the name), i think his attack animations are a little wrong cuz when he swinged his sword it took like 0.6 seconds until the unit i attacked was actually damaged.
I didn't have time to test all abilitys but i think he could need some improvements to give him a fun gameplay.
Last thing is that the terrain could use some big improvements in my opinion
Looking forward to see some progress

Thanks for replying!
The undead units get ordered right before the gate to focus-attack the gate only. So some of the challenge is to keep them from reaching the gate. I've played all the heroes on Hard difficulty and barely made it. It's easier to push with Offensive units, but the last events like The Lich King is easier if you went with towers and items for your hero.
*The region that orders undead units to make the Last Charge has been made smaller in 1.11
The time from attack animation for Brute Lord (blood elf guy) and Thulin is a little messed up I see. I will do one more test tomorrow and fix the things getting mentioned in this thread. The only thing is... Cataclysm have release tomorrow night..

Astonishing....One of the best, or maybe the best description I've ever seen. This should be an example description Testing the map later cuz im at school now.
Btw, how long did it take to write this description?

Thank you! Well, its hard to say exactly how long I've used on the description, because I have been writing since I started 2months ago and until now. So my advice is to write while you're working with the things you are going to describe and deepen.
And have some perspective of what you're writing, for example that "DoS Description" is a completely mess when you're writing it, color codes, (hidden="")(/hidden) on top of eachother, [box]es, spaces etc. etc.

Memory leaks detected!
Here's a tip of what you should do
I don't know if you fix it in protected version but unprotected version is full of leaks.
Just for example all triggers in "LK unit paths" should be made like this:
-
Gold Each Second
-
Events
-
Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
-
Conditions
-
Actions
-
Player Group - Pick every player in (All enemies of Player 10 (Light Blue)) and do (Actions)
-
Loop - Actions
-
Player - Add ((StormwindPlayersActive + 2) - UndeadPlayersActive) to (Picked player) Current gold
-
Player Group - Pick every player in (All enemies of Player 11 (Dark Green)) and do (Actions)
-
Loop - Actions
-
Player - Add (Mode x 1) to (Picked player) Current gold
Here's a tip of what you should do
-
trigger
-
Events
-
Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
-
-
Conditions
-
Actions
-
Set tempPlayerGroup = (All enemies of Player 10 (Light Blue))
-
-------- your actions with the the picked player --------
-
Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_tempPlayerGroup)

Yes the Unprotected map in the old development thread is a little old, so all the "Order unit to random point in region" have been fixed to be leakless in the new protected versions, but the "Gold" trigger is something I still need to fix, thanks for pointing it out! So I will release a more updated unprotected tomorrow as I'm not near my PC todayeach 4 seconds you leak 2 player groups. Try avoiding any periodic leaks.

I played with the hero whos has Thunder Clap, Cleave and the ability that does more damage is the target has Thunder Clap buff.
His animation damage point is too high, lower the value abit.
It was quite fun, but there's no time to explore when playing single player. That is understandable.

[+] Difficulties.
[+] Good choice of heroes.
[=] You should think about fixing the gate problem, in the start it was hard to keep them off the gate.

[-] As i said before the cooldowns are awfully big.
[-] Starts to lag after some time on shitty computers (such as my).
[-] Game is short on levels, but that could be a good part also!
[-] There is some bugs with the score board, picture below!
[?] N/A
[!] N/A
I give it a 3.9/5
Great gameplay and can be played over and over to search for better tactics, anyways, a good timekiller!

Thank you for the great review!
Anyways for the [-], I have also been thinnking of the cooldowns, and most likely before the next update I will reduce cooldown and mana on almost every ability, but reduce the amount of dmg/healing they do etc.
The lag that affect you after some time could be the leaks that have been fixed in the newest version; 1.11(?)
As for the score board...
I have absoloutly no clue where all the zeroes after amount of kills come from; 1.0000. I have made the area where names are shown in the multiboard bigger. But the main issue is all those zeroes! Anyone know?I have also been thinking of adding tower building for Undead Players, so they can choose to use their gold on units or towers, what do you guys think? Also, if this gets popular, I want a skilled terrainer to do some magic to the map ;P
I've also uploaded an updated version of the unprotected version in the old thread. Please tell me if you find more leaks etc!

Are you using reals when storing the kills? Integers should be used.

It worked!
I changed the variables to be Integer Arrays instead of Real arrays. Thanks for helping me out.As for the names.. I checked where my name "aiDer" showed up in the multiboard, playing as all colors in singleplayer and LAN. But I didnt see any problems. I don't know what to fix

It seems to happen when a player leaves the game...
EDIT: I think I've found it:
This is the old trigger, its missing the +1 in which row it's supposed to change.
I hope this is the source of the problem

checked out new unprotected version. Didn't look all the triggers(as they mostly seemed good) but you should know that creating more that 1 unit at once using Create unit action also makes unit group leak.
One way I did to avoid such leaks it is to create units one by one using loop.
Maybe custom script can also destroy last created unit group by I'm not shore, never done that.

Lich King IS Lich King. Not anything else. He WAS a Death Knight.
I'm a bit taken aback by the terrain. You obviously need some tutorials. Although the best advice that I can offer is to not overuse BlizzCliffs since they look ugly most of the time anyway.
Lordaeron Summer isn't the best tileset to use, to begin with. I suggest you change the tileset to Cityscape or Dalaran.
Rune Armor's maximum level is a bit too high IMO. Not many would actually get to it, but still a bit too high.
That's all for now. My vote still stands at Pending. It can still be improved greatly, TBH.
EDIT: Whoops. Nearly forgot something. Chaos Tower's damage range is a bit buggy (5001 - 5000). Might wanna fix that.

Thanks for replying!
@dead-man-walking
I think "Runed Armor" have a max upgrade on 100, which is doable if you got 12500 gold
I could reduce the maximum upgrade amount to a more realistic amount. But when I made it I thought the increment, 25gold, would stop many from upgrading further because it got so expensive.
The Chaos Tower is there to keep Stormwind players and units out of Undead Players' zone. But I could reduce the attack speed/dmg so players have a chance to survive the retreat, because right now its one-shotting most units.
As for the terrain, it would be nice to get a skilled terrainer to do some changes, because I don't have much spare time in December. I have a feeling that it could take a lot of hours to learn everything concering terraining.
@william8899
Thanks! The boss Deadeye has a huge firing range, and the only challenge is to pull out quickly and nuke him, because of his high damage. If an Undead Player controlls him, he got the "Blink" ability.
When the Icecrown Overlord reach 75% HP he gets invulnerable and spawns 3 Icecrown Minions, which all have to die to make him vulnerable again. Also, if you kill only 1 Icecrown Minion and it takes more than 5 seconds before you kill one more, the first Minion you killed will respawn. All of them have to die withing 5 seconds of eachother.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I have written about the bossfights in the in-game info "Quests". I will later today

i always love maps that let you play as scourge, (not DotA though, other games pull of the dota style better) I gave it a whirl, and it is slow in single player, it took 30 minutes until i could stop turtling and go hunting, I expect it would be alot faster in multiplayer though
could you add some automatic spawns for computer players? To make playing scourge vs computers an option? (or to flesh out stormwind vs ai scourge)
killing all the minions withing 5 seconds of each other is tricky, probably nigh impossible on some of the heroes, especially if your using the helpers, riflemen don't follow orders very well. Also, could you limit the raise dead on the skeleton lords to 1 skeleton, giant armies are good for heros with strong aoe, but others.... not so much

I understand your point, I have also been concerned for the Icecrown Overlord's minions VS. some heroes. I could reduce the minion's base HP a lot, and make the increment per player active higher, so the Icecrown Overlord is more singleplayer-friendly. Or maybe increase base damage of the heroes with few or no AoE spells.
My first thoughts for the Skeleton Lords was to make them units with a deadly potential, and you had to focus fire them to stop masses of skeletons from spawning. I could increase the cooldown for Raise Dead or as you say, spawning only 1 skeleton.
About the UndeadVScomputer! It's a good idea and possible to do, but I have to give it some thought. What kind of units to spawn, bosses, guardians of the gate (so you can't sneak in and bang the gate unchallenged) etc. As I see it now, it won't be as interesting as StormwindVScomputer, but it's doable

do you know where/when people are testing the map? I figure it'll be alot more interesting in multiplayer.

ofc, everything is more fun when you play with other people.
I don't know when people from hiveworkshop is playing. I'm going to a LAN in 12 days where I hopefully get some 4v4 matches up

Hero Balance (the ones i've tried)
These are just suggestions, not really Bugs per-say
I was just playing with Zerathul (reminds me of zeratul for some reason..) and he's a bit passive, maybe replace his evasion with fan of knives? His small manapool will prevent spamming it.
- And can you make his ultimate a little.. tighter? i don't know, using it on anything other than a "tank" mob makes that last swing take ages, usually it gets kill stolen by a rifleman or tower.
I also used the Angel hero, forget his name, was the first hero i used, could you mention on his ultimate tool tip that it is a channeled ability? or better yet, add triggers so that it's a "cast and forget" kind of spell. otherwise he was just very defensive but I assume thats the point.
The sniper hero was good.
The beast master hero... Ah... His mana pool was rather low, made re-summoning your companions taxing i started stacking mana, also, one of the best things about the original beast master was that your minions duration was longer than the cooldown, meaning you could have several quillboar up at a time. (obviously with splash damage 3 quillboar would be a bit overpowered at low levels)
I think either reduce the mana cost of one of the summons or replace his wolf summon with a slightly buffed "bite" and replace bite with a passive.
The (bloodelf?) brute was fairly good too.
!>!<>Nitpick Grammar<>!<!
In the intro screen you should say "Rienforcements have to be called, extra defenses have to be built, heroes need to be summoned" it bugged me, reinforcements defenses etc are plural already.
E.g.
Lich King has marched into
Lich King's Armies have marched into
both work
If you plan on a battle.net beta, count me in, same name as my hive account
mdaniel on Lordaeron (US W) or Azeroth (US E) actually i think i coined mdaniel on every server.

Thanks for your help! This is the kind of help I'm looking for. I will fix the grammar and heroes for the next update, though I will probably keep the 3 summoning abilites for Griffin the druid, he is after all a summoning hero
Just changing the mana cost etc.

Awesome! That's the kind of help that's the easiest for me to give
I also tested the Elementalist elf when i wrote that, he was good too, he's an int hero so stacking mana is fine for him.
I gave the dwarf priest a brief test and he seems simple/easy enough, a bit weak on the aoe, but they can't all have it. He's labelled as a support hero anyways.
I've been wondering, what's up with the gargoyles up near the top? i tried destroying their roosts and killing them, but they just seem to be decoration.
Since towers and troopers KS alot, could you add a bounty payback? like every time an undead is killed by the stormwind npcs every stormwind hero gets 2g or so?
When can you get the legendaries? The shop is that merchant tree near the bottom middle of the map, but i think you need a titan essence right?
This just in, Blood mage is now Emo-est Emo Ever. Cuts open an artery? BTW add an int modifer to that, 60% for 100 dmg on hit with a 35 dps dot on yourself isn't nice
Blood orb does not give bounty on units, meatball why no 221 bounty D: *sometimes*
could Bloodorb affect multiple targets in a line?
I also think that maybe the heros should scale a bit better, it's hard to push out without going offensive and massing, and if you do that then you get hit with major backlash.

defensive heros accumilate too much gold
I have 6 epic items, fully upgraded fire and frost towers and 14000 gold, i wish i could spend it, maybe on the towers but defense isn't the issue, here's what i'm thinking, stretch out the upgrades, or maybe offer +range and +speed for towers. it's also 96 minutes into the game, but i can't push without skipping the undead waves or they'll walk past my towers to the gate.
The stormwind side needs waves, at least for solo. 1 hero can fight waves or it can ignore the waves and destroy the spawners, can't really do both.
Base patrollers that respawn if you feel waves are too generic

What difficulty are you playing? Because at Hard difficulty after 96minutes the units should have an HP increase of 288%, Very Hard 392%, which is a lot The boss you currently are fighting should have a deadly bunch of HP aswell. I didnt plan in the first place matches that long.
And after 96 minutes it's probably hard to push because the units have so much HP, but you are supposed to fight your way to the Energy Sources, killing undeads on your way. Very Hard gives over 1400gold while easy gives over 7000 gold after the time you've played.
Something I will add, is your suggestion for more tower upgrades. I don't want to add so many tower types, since towers is not supposed to dominate the game. +DMG, +Range, +AttackSpeed, +AoE, Crit Chance for Fire, Stun Chance for Frost etc.
The towers defending Stormwind Gate is supposed to be "the last defense", and if you let undeads get past your entrance they will go to the gate, you will get help from Stormwind towers, but the downside is that they will take the bounty from you, so keep them at your entrance if you want all the gold. Ofc, there is a lot of gold from bounties, so I could give every stormwind player 1g for each kill, but not much more ;P
Also, if you pick Offensive Headquarters, you get an additional 1g each fourth second because of all the kills the units might get, this could be increased to 2g maybe.
But when I started the map, I planned a timed attack from the Gargoyles. To stop them you had to buy a Steam Tank, the Steam Tank would then start driving towards the cliffs overlooking the forest in front of the Gargoyle nests and undead lumbercamps, as it drove you had to protect it against masses of undeads, which were ordered to attack the Tank only. This was a 3-4 player event. Maybe I add some gargoyles attacking when the forest is cut down, and you have to destroy the nests to stop it, but I don't really know.
I'm also going to add some STAT modifiers to Tiara the Blood Mage as you said. Especially Blood Orb which is currently hard to use and low damage.
Thanks!

I could, but then you would have even more gold

I also described this in the description and under "FAQ" in the in-game "Quests".

I've been playing normal, as normal is usually the recommended difficulty?
I run out of gold as offensive and i get too much gold as defensive.
I'll have little or no items on offense, but defense i'll have lots.

u should make more things to spend the gold on (maybe better and expensive units because when you got to many units the dont even fit on the road), specially when playing defensive gold starts to be usseles. and the support hero ultimate (the one that heals and charges mana for every kill) makes the game run slow, specially when there are lots of units. The buff tower that increases damage should say that is 15% and not just 15 (fist time y upgrade it i thought it would increase 15dmg) I really like this map so i just want to help with some ideas =) Sorry for my bad english
maybe it would be good idea an upgrade for more damage for the offensive units so that battles arent so long when they have so much armor and so little damage

Thanks for replying! Always appreciate when people tell me of incorrect tooltips etc, cus they are easy to fix
I have already been thinking of dmg+ upgrade for offensive units, but were afraid they would get too overpowered, the dmg+ can be minimal ofc.
I have also been thinking of reducing the bounties from all units, because I hear the "too much gold for defensive" a lot Reducing the total gold achieved.
I will think more about adding 2 Ultimate Units for Offensive Headquarters.

This is Version 1.20 with My AI so far. Only players 3(Teal) and 4(Purple) have AI's right now. The AI's can only Defend right now and they do not use the HQ's yet. They use all abilities and they Heal. They Choose Random Heroes.

Now that there are less undead, remember to increase the bounty on each undead unit, since now that there are less undead, there is less total gold to be gained per wave.

Yes, I think it should be OK right now after some tests, but I will consider changing the bounty later if people tell me
I have also made a template from the description of Defense of Stormwind, for all of the people who liked it Enjoy!

troops don't correctly patrol to the fourth mystic energy source or the fifth.
I was also thinking, maybe you could rename them? mystic energy source doesn't really feel scourge.
How about Fount of the Damned?
(yes fount is a word, google it)

The Lich King is handing me my ass on a plater, maybe give some warning as to when he will use that deathcoil nova? it's oneshotting me
i got hunted some more legendaries and got spell immune from staff, then killed LK, noticed some bugs though
Zombies keep spawning after the lich king appears, but go to him instead of to the gate; as the zombies can't attack anything but the gate, they are just a source of income, intentional?
skeletons keep spawning after you kill the lich king
neutral hostile mobs gain hp with the lich king's forces
gargoyle boss can't attack ground units, easiest boss ever? maybe
Bolvar is a nicely balanced hero

1. It was a bug where they spawned every 20sec, even after Icecrown Overlord was dead. I fixed this in 1.23, and I havent seen that problem after 1.23. Dont know if thats the same bug as you found.
2. No it shouldnt, so its very strange if it did
3. The spell he cast has the lowest movement speed possible, so you should be able to see it coming and dodge it, I have managed to do so with all heroes.
4. These zombies are spawning for income after waves have stopped spawning, and make some chaos in the fight aswell.
5. Well, this isnt a problem, since the game is over
I can Turn Off the trigger ofc 6. Thats good to hear, since this is intentional.
7. The Gargoyle Lord is more of a gold bonus if you get into the forest and find him.
Thanks!

1 maybe it was an individual thing
2 was a suggestion XD
3 i did notice later that there was a slow moving skull ability, i had been standing close in his hit box so the distance was almost 0
4 ok, i figured as much
5 yea easy fix
6 well a spell immune Gruul is annoying, D: takes forever to kill
7 i would have prefered had he just hit me, instead he rushed the gate D:, i spawned a bunch of riflemen, and they handled him, melee heros can't hit him without orb effects though.

Defense of Stormwind is kinda in pause-modus right now. Im back at school after the holidays and getting into the cycle of knowledge again
So, DoS will stay at version 1.23 for maybe 3-4 weeks before I start updating again. It's also depending on how SgtBob's progress on the AI system is going.
Anyway, anyone know how to get the map approved? Should I contact a moderator myself, or just wait?

If you want to look at the unprotected map in the editor, you should go to the old development thread for DoS; http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/defense-stormwind-180685/#post1730215 and click the file there.
As for the "it says file size to big to process command", its probably because you have an old version of Warcraft III. This map is only compatible with WC3 1.24 or higher.
A lot of maps on hiveworkshop.com is only working with 1.24, so you should really just buy the game and update to latest version, if you are using a cracked version of WC3
