Welcome
i tested your map with you and i have few advice to you:
Delete that mines at left top of the map or simply upgrade, giving them new option.
Heroes are too much powerful at beginning (half life will solved a problem).
Potion in shop have cooldown, I dont know why. Change potion time cooldown (shorter).
Change number of defender's unit (too much), give them power for every wave.
The better for tank will be if you give him some simply aggresive spell, not only defence skills.
Info of skill are little bit poor, i don't know how strong skill are (cleave).
Good idea are changing time between wave (longer) and reduce the path length (optional).
Do leader board and places for more players (not only 4)
Do one tawern for all.
Give some skills for enemy like spells or passive thing.

Discovered bug:
Enemy fall back to the start point and they don't walk on middle path (on general way).

Advantage:
Nice models.

I will ofc make some special upgrades u can take advantage to the house. check back here in 8 hours and i will put up the new patch for the map. (whould be great if u made some feedback from that to =P)

Increase time between wave (20 second more)
Replace tavern and shops, people don't want walk too much (shops closer, tawern further).
Hero selector can be killed, make him indestructible and hide him after selected hero.
Hard to select Argos(this archer), also his pain skill need too much time to cast.
His summons have rest of older skills, like power of ...(elf), hippogryph.
All skills need better description, healer have very poor.
Number of defender are good, but you can strengthen them(for every level give them few damage and more hit points).
When i want host it, i never know what player is defender (units) and why i can choose to play enemy? fix that.
Models are good, but their weight is to big. You map is small, people will not want download your map when weight is 8-9 MB. Only thing about this.

whats wrong whit healer ??
and i dont get it what u mean the map is only 1.7 mb when i check?
the problem whit the comp when host is u need to host it whit a bot like everyone else is doing. like ghost ++ then the computer is selected auto. but will fix it for normal host as well.
What exactly do u mean bad description. Do u mean to bad info what the spells do, or what increases per level ?

Will try to fix the rest of that tonight ty for feedback.

well here is my feedback :
the heroes are ok , nice models the only thing is they dont have a fitting icon,and some of the heroes will only obtain a skill at lvl 3 , like the argon, and when i am about to create a map, the 2 other forces, you have to put the computer before you start,go to world editor then scenario > player properties then set player 5,6,7 as computer instead of None or players then go to forces check the custom forces and fixed player settings,
At the beginning there was a lot of heroes, I dont know but I suggest that you should only have 1 hero per player
heroes.png

then again there was this creep that was like a boss at the beginning at the spawn point, I killed it and it gave me small exp and a little amount of gold,is this an error or something ? I Suggest you remove that mini boss at the spawning point
boss.png

and then when I defended some waves and leveled up, I started learning skills and I stumbled onto an error which I also stumbled upon before
skill.png

THE GREEN ICON OF DOOM !
you should import BTN and DISBTN icons to ensure no green icons would show up
here are some links
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/icons.php
and you better make the skills have better details here i s another link
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/polishing-your-game-168019/ (Give rep to nighthawk if you followed this ;D)
hoping for fixes on these map xD

Ok tested it and here is my feedback:

Good job with the skill description xD, yeah the skills are now good ;D only thing i see now is the cooldown of the items and the hero selections
at the beginning of the game the potions are at cooldown, better remove the cooldown so that we could prepare on the waves
items.png

next the hero selection I would prefer it this way xD
Yeah.png

heroselection.png

and finally the waves , I Think its a bit too fast , even on easy mode were going to have a hard time there because of the quick intervals between waves maybe put it somewhere to 60 seconds after the previous wave cause it will take 30 seconds to kill the previous wave and the other 30 seconds for preparation
other than that you made the description clear now its better xD
keep up the work and hoping for more updates

ty saif again for feedback. lets get right to business ^^

1 Will fix so no cd intervall in begining on potions

2 yes i made the first 7 levels, i think about 40 seconds interval , maby to little. Levels after 7 are 100 seconds interval i will make it 100 sec on seven levels to then. Its a good ide to do it, will give players more time to prepare hero selections and look at store what is there and so on.

3 And why not i can make it like ur selection on picture, looks good tbh mine is a bit hasty ^^

give me 20 mins and its done


""EDIT""

Done its up on first page at top called invasion 0.9.8b

will test it later ;D

Edit :
Tested it, the waves are now ok it makes it now playable for 1 player ;D
IOA.png

you can now change the 2- 6 to 1 - 6 and is the minimap preview right ? a blank white screen :\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
go here http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/minimap.php
read the tut then download the tools that are found here
here is your blp converter
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/blpaletter-1-5b-66425/
then save the blp as tga with this program
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-image-extractor-62877/
Instructions :
get the image you want
resize it to 128x128 in any editing program
save it then drag the picture into the blpallter icon / program
open wc3 image extracor file > image open the file then save as TGA
and then save it at 75% quality , import the file to the world editor as
war3mapPreview.tga by using custom path, restart the world editor and BOOM ! xD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there is an error in one item though, The helmet of 10 knights
no matter how many seconds passed the stock wont change xD
HEL.png

the items are way too overpriced , you could get an item maybe when 5 waves are done, I suggest you lower the item prices
potion.png

the potions make it stack more instead of 10 as the maximum stack
and here is another one I suddenly noticed the name of the spawned creeps
TBO.png

refrain from using exclamation points to put as units names
and I used the son of algoria the skills have 3 level skips , change that to 2 and his devotion aura when you learn it it starts with a bonus of + 1 armor , make the base +5 armor and then +2 for every level
and his 2nd skill scream , make a graphic when the hero does it something like warcry , or warstomp
and the other skill his 1st skill , it doesnt make too much graphic , like when the aoe damage go to effect , make it a chain lightning
Skill-1.png

and then again you havent fixed the other force change player 7 to computer then check the fixed player settings
waiting for fixes ;) and if you would like I could check the grammar in your spells and change the descriptions in your items to make it look better just PM me if you want xD

k, ill test it xD

Edit: Tested it ok here is what I got
good job with the forces and your minimap preview, but theres something wrong with your loading screen
7.png

and heres a link again for this
and
6.png

why is my name not there ? ( Just joking xD )
ok thats for the opening next in gameplay, nice, improved hero selection , thats good
5.png

but make sure not to leave something like this here xD, or is their a purpose thats why its there ? anyway moving on
good job on the support system, thats a good idea xD
4.png

after a couple of minutes , this came out
3.png

make sure you fix every pop up messages, the tip # and your grammar , fix that and then another couple of few minutes
2.png

I maxed the skill of the 1st skill, when I look at the skill button, the 2nd skill moved to the 1st skill icon bar, fix that
skills should have a stable icon bar and then
1.png

the waves are still moving back, better fix that,and next
the items, yeah the variety of items got a little wider, but still we need more items to satisfy us for the 25 waves that are supposed to be coming and the potion, maybe add a 5s cooldown for the usage, its a little bit imbalanced , other than that GOOD JOB !
just continue on improving your map xD

going to test it now :)

Edit:
ok heres what i got
nice minimap preview but fix this
1-1.png
it should be Algorian Soldiers
and then
2-1.png

fix it like this
Choose from 8 Unique Heroes and defend against 25 waves with different kinds of spawned creeps and 5 difficulties to choose from.
(thats it no need to include suggested 2 - 6 cause its already there on the Suggested Players thingy )
ok and then next
3-1.png
4-1.png

they still dont have stable icon bars ok heres for you and fix it xD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the world editor do this
5-1.png
this is for the 1st Skill
6-1.png
2nd Skill
7-1.png
3rd Skill
8.png
and the 4th Skill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.png

and fix the tooltips of your skills, the players would appreciate that xD
next for the waves, it got better all waves had custom models thats great, but the support team was moving to fast
it was on the boss
10.png

I thought that there was no more creeps spawning but when i looked the support team was fighting the boss, and that wasted my time so I had to fight the boss with the creeps, fix that maybe put the support team farther away so they would exactly be at the 3 spawn intervals
next for the items
yes ! MORE ITEMS ! AND RECIPES ! Thats NICE !
but again fix the description of your item
11.png


but it was way a lot better than before so i give you a thumbs up xD

nope i havent tried any other heroes, i like being the tank type in these kind of stuff but if you require me to test some of the other heroes sure xD
oh and forgot to mention
maybe shorten the 1st skill cooldown for the tank ? i think its too long but he is a tank, so its ok just a suggestion xD

I cannot test your map because I don't have Warcraft 3 installed (and I won't have it installed soon), but I can give you some advice about concept.

- I know story isn't important at all, but if you want a good map, you have to improve it. Evil awakening and destroying everything is just too...unoriginal.
- Also, improve terrain. In these maps, terrain has to be practical, without too much detail, but it would be nice if you could make it "cooler".
- Make your map original. There are tons of maps like this, and many of them are better than this one. So you should implement something that makes basic player want to play this map instead of something else.

I'll write down more things if I see something that needs improvement.
