[R] Tower War maps

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.

DaGreenBean if you are going to create a tower wars map, plz also make one where 2 Players play together, one spawns at the bottom and one at the top. 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?

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?

O that sounds like alot of fun.
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.

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.
