1.) Why are there no Tower War maps? Anyone know? 2.) Are you guys (and gals) interested in a well done Tower Wars map? a) If yes, is there anything specifically that would make it interesting, unique or simply something that is desirable. b) If no, why not? The reason why I'm so curious is my friend and I are wondering the same things and we have a high chance in creating such a map. So please send some ideas or suggestions with the answer for the questions above. | ||

Is it like Tower Defence ? I think it would be a great help to explain what you mean because I'm pretty clueless at this point, and I like to think I know most popular custom games. If you think Tower War maps are fun, make one with your friend. | ||

What is a Tower Wars map ? Is it like Tower Defence ? I think it would be a great help to explain what you mean because I'm pretty clueless at this point, and I like to think I know most popular custom games. If you think Tower War maps are fun, make one with your friend. Oh, I am really sorry. Tower Wars I believe started becoming popular in Warcraft 3 (may just have been in Warcraft 3). It is similar in a way like a Tower Defense map in which you build a maze and you prevent monsters or waves from getting to the end. The key difference is though, that you, the player, make units of your own that will spawn on the opponents side of the map to run through their maze and try to reach the end. If any monster reaches the end of the maze that person loses 1 life. Winning would conclude the opponents lives = 0 and you, of course, still have lives left. Maybe that answered one of my own questions why it is not so popular, because people don't know about it in the starcraft scene? | ||

The layout was just a straight line from top to bottom where players could build their maze in, do you remember? | ||

Monster waves spawn at both top and bottom at the same time, so that the monsters that made it through player1's maze are going to player2's maze. You could upgrade your towers, there is also monsters that attack your shit later on, flyers etc. It was soo fun in WC3. I miss it. The layout was just a straight line from top to bottom where players could build their maze in, do you remember? Yes, I remember a bunch of different styles. There was the one with a bunch of vertical lanes could have 8-12 people playing. Others were team based, 2 or 3 on a team. To be honest, my friend and I started making a map four months ago. With complications such as school and some other things we had to postpone the development. I was trying to get an understanding if people actually wanted such a map before we started working on it again. I'm not sure if I should reveal it quite yet, because it is in the very starting phases of development as far as what we want to do with it. This is why I made this post, to see what people want out of such a map. So we can improve our ideas and probably release some information soon. | ||

So it's kinda like a cross between nexus wars and tower defence ?  You can make your own maze bigger, or send more units to attack the opponent. | ||

Generally, you have a limited amount of space that you would have to maximize (strategy) to make your maze bigger. But later and later in the game you can send stronger and stronger units at your opponents (maybe ones that attack their maze or fly or ________ here for someone else that has an idea). | ||

Id love to have a tower wars designed as Shango tower wars (wc3). you can build really sick and uniquie mazes. Even if you do not want to make shango you should seriously make a tower war map :d | ||

Surprisingly we have some of the same design elements going on. Anybody have any other ideas that would be interesting in a map? Or have a past tower wars design that was fun/interesting. | ||

Suggestions: Have the creeps run along a low ground path with defense on the high ground. Then place 1 hero for each player on the low ground to defend. Creeps would have to kill the heros to get to the finish. It would add a new dynamic and give players something to micro in between creep spawns. Please make this map! | ||
