Created by me, based off a previous map (with permission from the author), and some skins/models taken from the Hive (all of which are credited in the quest section).
This map employs strategy and skill. You need to plan your movements carefully if you are expectant to win. Critical choices must be made at the right moments.
Game is played with two teams of up to six players each. Recommended two teams of three to six players on each.
Initially, each player is given enough gold to hire a hero or upgrade their base. Later, a player who chooses to hire a hero can upgrade their base and a player who upgrades their base can instead hire a hero. Heroes are limited to one per player.
Bases
Bases spawn army units which form the crust of your forces. Excluding your initial tier, army units are divided into three different types and you can switch between types at a nominal fee:
Melee Army Units - Trump ranged army units.
Ranged Army Units - Trump flying army units.
Flying Army Units - Trump melee army units.
Additionally, bases are split into six tiers. Higher tiers produce stronger units but at slightly longer rates. Everyone starts at Tier Zero and can upgrade to Tier One at the cost of 1500 gold. After that, you can continue to upgrade to the next tier at an accumulative rate of +1500 more gold. To summarize:
Tier 0 - 0000 - 10 second spawn rate
Tier 1 - 1500 - 11 second spawn rate
Tier 2 - 3000 - 12 second spawn rate
Tier 3 - 4500 - 13 second spawn rate
Tier 4 - 6000 - 14 second spawn rate
Tier 5 - 7500 - 15 second spawn rate
Your base also provide army also has three upgrade to improve health, damage, and movement speed respectively. These upgrades cost lumber which is not initially available.
Altars
After you buy a hero, you get an altar. Altars serve as defensive towers, revive heroes, train Repairmen, and provide the Tower Upgrade which increases the hit points and armor of your towers. The Tower Upgrade also costs lumber.
Repairmen are useful as they repair link towers and can carry up to two items.
Support Camp
The Support Camp is divided into two buildings - Spellcasters and Fighters. Support units supplement and aid your army units and harass the enemy.

Heroes
There are twelve heroes each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each of them have one innate ability, four hero abilities, and one ultimate hero ability. Heroes play a vital role in winning the game.
This section will be updated later.
Items
Items improve the effectiveness of heroes and offer unique options for enhanced gameplay. There are three shops for both sides and two in the middle of the map.

Object of the Game
To win, you must form a chain of three link towers across the map. To do this, you must move your heroes onto the chain link circles in adjacent order. When a chain of such towers is formed, the enemy idol must be destroyed. The side who destroys their enemy's idol first wins the game.
