Gameplay
I like the idea that the protectors heroes is all rangers, but each with a different aura, so that their prescence is valuable to eachother.
I would have liked to see the north-eastern and south-western forces come and aid the base at the main gate. It doesn't really make sense that hey would leave their allies to their fate.
I think you should add a trigger to determine when there are no enemy units left, and then launch the next wave of enemies. Now they stack on top each other if you are not killing them fast enough.
It might be a blittle too hard in its current stage. For example the first wave of zombies killed both of the outer turrets in the first wave, before I had the option to train enough units to defend it. The first base was gone after the second wave of ghouls. This could use some more balance.

Aesthetics
The elven workers are currently called "peasants". You could change this to something more fitting.
The terrain is not very appealing. I like the layout of the bases and the map in general, but there are very few details, doodads and variety. More doodads in general wouldn't hurt.

Details that doesn't need to be changed:
I find it strange that undead forces have trolls in their hordes?
Perhaps you could add an undead base or something that the waves of enemies come from?

Bugs
Your triggers leak position and group handles. However, this doesn't matter very much as the events are not repeating themselves frequently and they are too few to really cause lag. You could search for tutorials in order to fix this though.

Summary
I can see from looking at the triggers and the map in general that you still have much to learn, and that is what I hope to help you with by posting this review. There are probably more things to be fixed, but this is all I found right now. If you update the map with the changes I mentioned, I will play it again and give a new review.

Status set to Awaiting Update.

Well screenshots looks nice.

Thank you, i have updated the map, old version contained old bug which didnt show the victory at the end of the game.

Btw does anyone know the trigger.. like after you kill 2-3 units, you win the game. I currently cant find what it looks like. Just know the trigger for 1 unit..

Right now, there are too many issues to be fixed in order for this map to be approved, so I would set it to Needs Fix for the moment.

Thank you for your review Rufus!

I agree with almost everything..
But apologize me, i am very bad at doing triggers, my terrain skills are bad and i have no idea how to do cinematic either. Need to look for tutorials and so on certainly.. hopefuly i will find the time, because doing maps is just my hobby when i am sick at home..

Perhaps right now, But your skill will grow as you develop your maps!.
Best of luck, and I hope you get sick a lot more often so you can work on this...

I have updated the map (28.3.2018)
