Some important information:
DONT BUILD IN FRONT OF MOBS AS THEY WALK
Farm elementals and make workers for extra income
There are 3 types of ground mobs: medium(countered by arrow tower), heavy (countered by magic tower), fortified (coountered by siege tower)
There are 2 types of air mobs: light (countered by arrow tower), heavy (countered by magic tower)
Each tower has its weaknesses, make sure to diversify and build according to unit counters (e.g siege is weak vs air and medium, arrow is bad against heavy etc)
Bank contracts are essential to boosting your income later on, make sure you get them !
ach level is random and waves spawn every 2 minutes regardless of the creeps left
Some mobs do a lot of damage to your towers later on
Mob bounties double every 5 waves
Ground levels can be: medium (25 each side),heavy (50 each side), fortified (37 each side)
Air levels can be heavy (50 each side) or light (25 each side)
Air levels are: 4, 7, 15, 19, 22, 26, 30
Waves that can have air creeps(1 out of 3): 31, 36, 42, 48
Waves that are likely to have air creeps(2 out of 3): 38, 45

General how to play: try focusing on income early on, bank contracts give more gold than the mine upgrades at about 2.7k.
It's very important to have few strong towers rather than multiple weak ones.
If you fall behind focus on eco (buying bank contracts and gold upgs) and hope that other players can pick up the slack.
The map is very long and hard, you constantly have to adapt to whatever waves the rng gives you, constantly micro and multitask, but it is 100% beatable
Edit 1(20.09.2023): Elementals' levels increased to 7 and 9 from 6 and 8 (this should help heroes level up slightly faster)
Edit 2(02.10.2024): Hero starting str increased by 1, agility and intelligence by 2
Hero attack cooldown reduced from 0.8 to 0.75
Greater soul shard drop rate increased from 2% to 5%
Blessed aura tower attackspeed increased from 10/15/20 to 12/18/25
Blessed aura tower damage increase increased from 3/6/12 to 5/8/15
Edit 3(08.10.2024): Starting gold increased when there is more than one player
Minimum movement speed lowered to 100 from 150
Maximum movement speed increased to 522 from 400 (overall some mobs and the builders move faster)
Poison tower cost increased from 45 to 60
Medium armor mobs and most light armor flyers got a roughly 10% hitpoint buff
Edit 4(11.10.2024): Medim armor mobs and light flyers buffed by about 10% (once again)
Gold coins from hero shop gold increased from 4500 to 5000
Gold coins from hero shop recharge decreased from 360 to 300
Gold coins from the bank gold increased from 1500 to 2500
Communist contract interest increased from 15% to 16% (bank deposit contract stays the same)
Gloves of haste price reduced from 1500 to 750
Greater gloves of haste price reduced from 5000 to 3000
Edit 5(21.11.2024): Medium armor mobs and light flyers buffed by about 10% (yes, again)
Hero acquisition range increased from 500 to 750
Hero str per lv reduced to 2.5 from 3, but starting str increased to 27 from 25
Magic Tower is now a low ground tower and range is reduced from 1200 to 1000 (overall it was too versatile and effective against unintended targets)
Aura tower can now be built by the high ground builder
Cursed aura tower armor reduction nerfed from 20/40/60 to 20/35/50
Added a few more spell immune levels (wave 20 dark fel warlock, wave 28 dark assasin and wave 31 troll batrider are now spell immune)
Single player no longer gets 2 gold mines (the common interest pool being 16% from last patch more than makes up for this)

Old school and quite creative, no custom scripted stuff though. Overall a nice one. Approved.

HW Edit. What does that imply? Is this not originally your map?

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Cursed City TD(HW Edit)
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

Please improve the description as it's severely lacking. Write some details about the gameplay.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Please clarify this:
It is my map, i named it "hw edit" because i had uploaded the final version of it on epicwar back in december Search Results - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com as you can see here. I tought of posting it here as well but i made some minute tweaks (changed the endurance aura item and the droprate for the greater shard i believe), so i changed the name to "HW edit" to clarify that it is slightly different from the final version on epicwar.
