Ex: I was the lumberer. I claimed C20 and used my custom alchemist to lumber. By doing that, my progress in lumbering was faster, and I had a fast speed in doing the level 7's lumber mills.
I completed 2 level 7's before Lt. Stealer and the 3rd one one minute after he spawned.
My final -wps was 75.
Here some pictures of how my progress was:

miavita: I decided to team up with chozidor, because he/she told me that he is a beginner. I have decided to go wall-less, and showed him how to play in a basic setting while the other player who didn't team with us showed chozidor how to build walls. Though I didn't explain the whole game to him, I expected him to explore the rest of the game by himself, and that's the fun part of gaming.
My ultimate goal for the contest is to help beginners survive regardless of difficulty, and all it matters to me is that I love this game, and I'm willing to share my joy. I would love to see players stay for the excitement, chain-base, team-base, play with hero, chatting, or whatever you name it.
It doesn't matter you prefer to call it partnership, friendship, or something else, it must have a beginning. And when I first seeing the title of this contest, I was thinking about the power/attraction of gaming that connects players to play like partner or team rather than to focus on how strong the bonding is among partners that helps overcome a certain difficult part of the game. Whether you can solo Eternia or not, it's more fun when people are watching or playing with you, right?
Teammate: chozidor
He/she spiritually helped me as a good partner of mine. He told me that he couldn't survive Very Easy mode by himself, and I helped him as I didn't want to play alone. He asked about the gaming technique, start items, contests, and the fortress code. And he was basically being an observer. I gave him suggestions as I could feel that he was willing to stay with the Fortress-Survival culture.
p.s. I cannot figure out how to insert pictures in different paragraphs. . . can someone teach me?
Teammates: E.K.2. and Missouri
Modes and Ver: Nightmare / Invisible / Air / No walls / With Endless Waves / Killed Eternia / 6.52
Base: Summer Cottage
Username: E.K.2.
I was the defender. I claimed Security room and used units for ~10 min defense.
I produced melee custom hero, missouri focused my hero's grown.
I had small lumber production and gold mine for produce bodyguard and units upgrade, and towers.
Bodyguard defense was good, so I produced many bodyguards for defense.
With Missouri's support, my hero had great items, so the hero with bodyguard defense killed waves and bosses.
E.K.2.'s progress:
Username: Missouri
He was the lumberer. He claimed Summer Cottage, and gave base's units and elemental stone to me.
He produced great lumber amounts, and support lumber & gold to me.

Username: AzZ

Teammates: Shtroumf
Base: Summer CottageGarden
Shtroumf and I based on the Summer Cottage Garden.
I was in charge of defending the right entrance while he was responsible of the left one.
We played without Hero and based our attack almost completely on towers. We had some supportive units,
but they were mostly Wizards to support against bosses and General for auras.
We choose to make our lumber mill set ups behind the walls. Even though it took some space where we'd have been able
to put towers, it gave us a better management of the walls, and sped up our lumbering a lot.
He claimed the base and ceded me one water protector, so each would have four hat towers.
Claimed protector, Slujj(hat) tower, Shade(hat) tower and water protector(gloves) tower.
Of the towers of the game, we agreed to use Peasant Launchers due to its splash attack. We both mainly had
Launchers and Air turrets.
I claimed the Military base mainly for the Tank and to have a few units to help on the start
Later on the game, I also got Electric Fist for the Captain for the passive ability and a Cursed Larceny for the Tank.
With focus on defense, we slowly upgraded our towers until max and beat the game.
Some prints on my side and how the base looked at the end:

Teammates: Azz
Base: Summer Cottage Garden
I claimed Summer Cottage and ceded a Water Tower to Azz, the 3 units that come with the base helped my in the beggining of the game. each of us had 3 wall entrance. I did a lot of Air Turret, air was coming from bottom left at least Air Boss, Tower are fast to make so losing them to air was not really aproblem but i did lose some times and it affected my wood production a little but nothing serious, i also did a lot of air turret up there to protect the Mill me and Azz had. I also upgraded really fast the life upgrade for my tower so they can resist air boss better
I did some team upgrade for pheng because he can be a pain sometimes, when Azz got both Stealer i helped him with my wizard like i did later in game
He did get most Ground Boss and i got on bottom left most air boss, the air turret did a great job i was really impress. I helped him late game with my tank + Fist and Larceny but he didnt really need it
Overall a great game, it's more hard but fun to play the Old Fortress Style with Tower only
We shared Military Base and defended without walls. I claimed Military Base, and he/she claimed Storage room. I was the defender with unlimited bodyguards, while Takla focused on lumbering for his op customed hero. We lumbered more than we actually needed for Normal mode, and we had to steal bosses from the 2 other players to feel involved. I gold him to reach a full set of items before Trojan, and we slaughtered Trojan, Najort, and Behemoth in seconds. We have reached about endless wave 60 before he had to leave.
We don't need Eternia to prove our partnership with the fact that we both enjoy and finish Fortress Survival games. And it touches my heart to know that we are not alone when we enjoy what we dedicate ourselves to.
I'm coming back new to this game again, as I played a little bit over a year ago. Miavita wanted to play so we threw it on nightmare to see what would happen, something I haven't done! Miavita, a more experienced player, helped me complete the mode with helpful advice, and tons of lumber of course.
I made the walls/repairs/towers, but hardly lumbered throughout the game.
I began right away. Barricades --> Repair Units ---> and lots of towers.
I leave a gap for later. I intend to put marines there to stun bosses and give repairs more time to heal walls. Around 43 minutes I get the repair bots in.
I begin making my own buildings after I finish towering. Command centers, shop, merc, and factories to make some lumber. The first picture shows the setup I built, the other show the tower filling.
Pheng gave us a good scare, but we were just able to hold off there.
Level 7 Mill plan for me (later is a lvl 7).
We lose a wall around 24 minutes remaining. I thought we lost here!
Here is the setup of the base. The first picture shows the top, the other the bottom. Repair units --> 1 space gap for mercs ---> assassins ----> launchers --> rocks ----> gravity.
At about 17 minutes remaining, I remember I need to put marines in the gap. This is also the time the towers attack speed was maxed out.
Here's a picture of the final base.
Teammate: Miavita
Miavita provided the lumber and the books to get the final upgrades. Miavita also gave the reminders for me on certain things to make up for my lack of experience (for example, use the shop to buy gold with lumber).
He began by claiming fort harbor. The units gathered there were ceded to me and were placed in the gap between towers and repair units.
Repair units and an advanced repair factory were used to produce lumber at a very fast rate. Lvl 7 Plan by 43 minutes.
Bookshelfs were built early to save money later in the game.
12 Minutes remaining setup. Efficient use of space.... and what is the spawning pool thing..
Final picture of Miavita's lumber at 3 minutes remaining. I think the wps was around 80.
There you guys have it! Thanks to Miavita for helping me with my first nightmare run as well as my first contest entry.
Earlier in the day, I tried to join a custom game to try to participate in this contest. He/She tried to make a game in BNet, but I was never able to find it. I tried for 5-10 mins, but I never found it.
Later, I came back for another round still looking to compete in the contest. Originally i had just planned to play a practice round with some new players who weren't ready for the mad leagues but it started very differently. We started on very easy (no air, no invis) and had a very interesting round.
I ended up basing with hki after an interesting start. His builder was killed while he was AFK. (BTW I think there should be some sort of builder protection at the start of each round). Anyway, his builder was killed. We then pooled resources and and were able to get the soul reviving. So it began. After a short conversation I ceded all my mills to hki and he began to build lumber mills like crazy.
I had already built a nice set of walls and defenses so I continued doing that. He, way late in the game, began pooling me nice amounts of wood which were very helpful for upgrading. He also helped greatly with his hero for repairs when heroes came in the game. The bosses were all fairly simple with two good heroes in the base. Again, it was on easy....
We also had a couple of other players in the game, but they didn't last very long.
It was a fun experience working together on the fly.
*NOTE: I am unable to take screenshots during replays. I am still working on that. I seem to get carried away while playing and forget about them. If you are able to help me with this, please message me. I have uploaded the video to this post. I also figured out what you can edit posts.*
*UPDATE: I was unable to take screenshots from the WC3 editor which opens when you click on WC3 Replays (they might have just been saving elsewhere) from the desktop . They did work after opening the replay in single player mode from inside WC3.*

Base: Military Base
Username: Starwolfff
I was the lumberer. I claimed the Military Base ,shared it to my teammate, ceded the units and used my alchemist and tinker to lumber. I rapidly obtained my first level 7 lumber mill and snowballed to 4. Even though I didn't send a lot of lumber in the beginning, it made me upgrade my mills way faster to then give a lot of ressources to my teamate.
My final -wps was around 70-80.
Username: ant1000123
He was the defender. He used the Military Base units and tower to protect us, he also used his Silver Coin to gain some time. He made some wood to make me able to rush the gold mine. He mostly used Heavy Marines to defend the base. He used his custom dragon hero to help the units and kill the bosses.
His final -wps was around 25-30.
His units kill count was around 666.
Here some pictures of how our progress was (Screenshots for me and him):
P.S. :
We played on the 6.56 because ant1000123 was unable to play on the 6.55 due to a known issue, same for me on the 6.53 where I had another issue and the 6.54 had troubles with save compatibility. Apologies for the out of context Screenshots down there, upload error, I can't remove them, ant1000123 will post the replay.
