War of the Ancients

Well, I've decided to make a small AoS that will speak about the first encounter between the Burning Legion and the Night Elves - War of the Ancients.
As you know, Sargeras was once a Titan that fought against the evil, however, he fell to the corruption and became the leader of the demonic forces, who he named the Burning Legion. He and his army traveled from world to world destroing it, until he noticed the power of the Well of Eternity, and set his eyes to Azeroth. He then made a pact with Quel'dorei's (Highborne) queen Azshara and promised her greate powers, if she creates a portal that will bring him and his army to Azeroth. Of course there were some that didn't agreed with Azshara and fought against her might, like, Malfurion, Cenarius, Tyrande, Illidan (I'm still gonna say Illidan cause I realy like him)...ect.
I've said that map is not gonna be big, I'm thinking of 64x64, or perhaps 75x75. Tileset is Ashenvile, and there is going to be just one "production" structure. There are also going to be towers and a hero unit that will protect the main building. Hes going to be quite strong, so you can defeat him only in groups, or if you realy pump your hero. Maximum hero level is 10 (standard), becouse the map is small.
Following is a work pattern I have created:
The Burning Legion
Main Hero: Sargeras - The Dark Titan (Rain of Fire, Death Coil, Unholy Aura)
Main Structure: Portal of the Void (Dimensional Gate, 1500 hp, 10 fortified armor)
Tower: Tower of Death (Death Tower, 1000 hp, 90-100 pierce damage, 5 fortified armor)
Choosable Heroes:
- Kil'jaedan (Lord of Deception)
- Archimonde (Eredar Defiler)
- Tichondrius the Darkener (Shadow Weaver)
- Mannoroth (Master of Destruction)
- Queen Azshara (Highborne Maiden)
- Neltharion / Deathwing (Earth-Warden)
Night Elves
Main Hero: Aman'Thul - Highfather of the Pantheon (Blizzard, Holy Light, Devotion Aura)
Main Structure: Halls of Purity (Hunter's Hall, 1500 hp, 10 fortified armor)
Tower: Tower of Light (Arcane Tower, 1000 hp, 90-100 pierce damage, 5 fortified armor)
Choosable Heroes:
- Malfurion Stormrage (Elementalist)
- Illidan Stormrage (Magic Chaser)
- Cenarius (Nature Preserver)
- Tyrande (Sentinel Priestess)
- Maiev Shadowsong (Barrow Prison Keeper)
- Alexstrasza (Life-Binder)
I plan to create custom skills for these heroes. You are welcomed in posting any ideas for items, spawn units, terrain sugestion...anything you can think of. Also I could use some help in hero section. If you can think of some spells for any of the heroes above, then post it here.

FEATURES
CAPTURABLE STRUCTURES
They are the neutral structures whos control you gain by destroying them. There are two tipes of these structures, Spire of Might and Fountain of Eternity. There are two Spires of Might (North-West and South-East), and when your side gains gontrol of both of them, the Fountain of Eternity also becomes yours. Spires give nearby friendly units a bonus to attack damage/armor, and as for the Fountain it gives a bonus spawn unit (i'm thinking of a big treant/voidwalker). Also when controling the Fountain, you periodicaly gain some gold and energy. Once your side has enough energy, aditional wariors will spawn, but only for one wave. This will happen every time you have enough energy. As for these wariors, there will be 2, 3 of them and they will be elementals (water and fire).
QUEST-GIVERS
There will also be some neutral folks that will give you asignments. When compliting them you can get a unique item, or some gold, energy, experience.
RANDOM REINFORSEMENTS
There will also be some points where some wariors from a both sides will be created (at random time) and start moving towards enemy base.

Thanks ahead!!!

Captain Griffen
Nothing seems very origional or grabbing here. The AOS genre is very competitive. Also suggest a name other than ??? of the Ancients.

Or, for that matter, ??? of ???.
