Line Tower Wars: Reforged | 2.6a

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.
