Here is a really good tower-placement guide by Cisz:

Furthermore here are some general tips for playing:

and last but not least - here is another really good guide with everything you need :

Everything to be found in the forums or on the ele-td-main-page

You better read those first and if you have any specific questions afterwards you can ask them here.

..but to answer your question:

No.

You know, we are working so long and hard on this map to make each and every tower usefull for some situation. Arrows are better for some stuff, and cannons are better for other stuff.

the best way to learn is to post a replay of your game of at least normal difficulty.

Just you and yourself; practice makes perfect

where to put the tower

Refer to Cisz's placement guide. Generally place the PBAoE towers in an area where creeps go around the tower (aka long-pass), and the rest should go to an area where creeps pass by the tower twice while giving a significant pause between the 2 passes (aka two-pass)

what element to pick first

Depends on your build, but since you're kind of a beginner go with fire so you can beat wave 9 (nature/undead). The best build is to pick all 6 elements (in 4.0pb only). I made a video on VH without leaks; here's the link if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4FEDEDBB26573F61

is it true that cannon tower>arrow tower?

No, unless you play on Normal difficulty or below, where arrows will be overkill damage most of the time.

here i send replay that i played element td 4.0..

i dunno what element to pick first at lvl 2

[Cisz]

If you don't use the latest version of tft, most people wont be able to watch your replay.

Please let us know which one you use, so the few that are able to switch version don't have to try all of them.

[Guest hipstudenz]

owh sorry...1.21

[dvdlesher]

We ask you politely to use latest version of Warcraft III. Currently is 1.23, so please use it okay?

And... I agree with holepercent, that it's very good way for us to review your gameplay (and also to everyone who needs advice)

@M45T3R : How about VH noleak on this 4.0 official version? Have done it yet?

On PB, we just abuse the game by using periodics

I haven't worked on it yet because I don't really have time now, but it shouldn't be too hard since I managed it quite a few times.
