Line Tower Wars: Reforged | 2.3a

Line Tower Wars is a tower defence game, the object of which is twofold -- Summon creeps to steal lives from the player(s) to your right, while building towers to defend yourself from the player(s) to your left. Summoned creeps which make it to the bottom of your lane steals one life from you, while all of your creeps which makes it to the bottom of your enemies lanes gives you one life.

As the player, you have four major resources: Life, Income, Gold and Research Points. At the beginning of the game you have 25 life, 30 gold, a starting income of 20 gold and 4 Research Points. Every 10 seconds of game time your income is added to your total gold (there is a timer that displays the time remaining to the next income cycle at the top right). Research Points can be bought for 100000 gold from the Research Center.

In the center of your screen you have three icon buttons, which can be used to summon creeps against the nearest player to your right. Each icon button allows you to summon progressively more powerful units, with a range of abilities, ranging from flying units to invisible units, or units that will attack the enemy lane. Summoning creeps will increase (or decrease!) your income, so plan your summons carefully.

Most of the units summoned in the game are simple maze running creeps, however a few of the units are different. Demolition Machines, Siege Engines, Phoenixes, Ghouls and Mountain Giants are all tower attackers which attempt to destroy your opponents towers. Tower attackers are most effective against player mass-producing the weakest towers to create a very long maze.

Use the Research Center to research different elemental technologies; each with unique twists and abilities. Each technology research costs 1 Research Point; and some technologies can only be researched when certain criteria are met. You can access the Research Center by clicking the bottom left UI-button, next to your builder icon.

Line Tower Wars have had an incredible amount of reworks by various developers with their own touches. Crediting all is unfortunately difficult. Most recent and notably developers are NOB, LOSS05, HolyKannibal., Hawking, Xcarrez, Mechwarrior, maudlin27 and Alfred_Pokuson. The main issue with most Line Tower Defense maps is the plagued map script that's riddled with bugs, issues and several performance issues. The goal of the Reforged version is to remove all of these issues and (when ready) bring an easily modifiable version for others and also bring new life into Line Tower Wars.

Several new features have been added for Line Tower Wars: Reforged. Towers, creeps, technology and tooltips all reworked for new exciting gameplay and quality of life changes. Player Stats - Your stats are saved between games, such as total wins/losses and other miscellaneous stats. Anti-Block - No more inefficient and annoying Referee-units running from top to bottom. A system is in place that automatically checks if a player block their lane. UI-buttons: New on-screen buttons for easy access of technology research and summons. Added player slots: 3 new player slots added and there's room for even more! Player lane improvements: All player lanes are balanced to be 100% equal and a grid feature has been added for an easier lane building.

If atleast 7 players are present at the start of the game, player stats will be recorded and saved/loaded automatically with the game session. Warning: Player stats are account name unique and limited to 1 account; playing with a different account may override the stats of your other account(s)! Player Wins/Losses can be seen in the multiboard and you can see all of your recorded stats by typing the "-stats" command. Your game session stats are ONLY saved when you're defeated or win the game, so make sure you don't leave prematurely. As of version 2.0a player stats will not be reset between versions unless major changes and bug fixes are implemented.

-- 2020-02-03 | 2.3a GENERAL Player Stats will no longer load at the start of the game as the recent Warcraft 3 patch broke the functionality and could cause a game crash. Player Stats are still saved at the moment, but all Player Stats are reset this version due to a couple of changes.
