A Fortress

I want to start on a new map that i thought up when i had a 5 hr class, i thought pretty much about it....
I think i'll make up the storyline as i go about but the basic story is that 5 nations are at war during the middle ages and then an evil enemy appeared and forced the 5 nations to become allies. The 5 nations couldnt resist the enemy so they retreated to a fortress build in a mountain. There are 4 entrances, north,south,east,and west. The middle is a big fortress that oversees the 4 gates at the entrances. I am currently making a terrain for the map and trying to perfect it, if you want to help me make this workable please, cause i need some new wall models that would fit into the map.

Well, it is a defense map, but it's kind of bigger than a normal defense map. FIrst, 5 players has their own castle surronding the the fortress and they get attacked by triggered creeps that are smart enough to attack the castles weakpoint. When all 5 player's castle die, they spawn in the middle one. The 5 nations are also unallied when they fight the creeps themselves be4 spawning in the middle one so they could attack each other too. I made a terrain for the middle fortress without the mountain gates and the terrain will be replaced with wall models.

EDIT - Storyline
In the ages of a forgotten time, the land was controlled by a presence no one could harm. This presence could only be seen by standing on one of the four mountains of Starv Mountains. It has no shape or form but yet people can see it. Adventurers and kings of the land would go up to the mountain to ask for guildance, but one day, the presence was gone. As when the presence was gone, strange dark holes has been appeared all over the kingdom. Many villages has been swallowed by these holes and people who were in the village was never heard of again. The five kingdoms had sent their messengers to their enemies about the strange activities and one especially to the Middle Kingdom, the neutral ones. A few days later the message was sent, strange monsters has been sighted outside the castle walls during the night but in the day, no traces were found. Evacuation of the land had begun. Everyone fled to the castles of each nation hoping to find safety. These castles were attacked and all the people in it had been killed in one night. The five main fortresses of the nations were left. These places held the longest but they had to retreat and this was when the messengers had came back. The messengers had came back and reported that what happened in their places, had been happening all over. The order to retreat to the Fortress of Haven (Middle Kingdom). As the dawn appeared, the monsters that were killing the last defenders disappeared. The Kings took advantage of this and had everything sent to the last fortress. The journey was long and hard, but they all made it just before nightfall. As each of the king's men settled down, they have know that the attack was just beginning....

Yeah this sounds kind of bad....i'll fix a crapload later cause im busy-ish. Need king names....

Add more info.

This also sounds exactly like Castle Defence maps.

I need a Modeler, a story developer, and a terrainer to help work on my map. The modeler would help me make a fortress model or just wall models. A story developer would help me alternate the story i came up with so it would fit better and the terrainer would see if the terrains would work.

Doesnt fit a mountain fortress, it's good, but not suitable. I also forgot to mention that the 5 nations are 5 different races so i need 5 different wall models/skins and 1 fortress wall model/skin. The races are human, elves, warlocks, orcs, and spirits of the woods.I also think u spelled the name wrong.
