Quest Log (F9)
Basic Gameplay
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.
Player Resources
As the player, you have four major resources: Life, Income, Gold and Research Points.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of the game you have 25 life, 30 gold, a starting income of 20 gold and 4 Research Points.\r\n\r\nEvery 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).\r\n\r\nResearch Points can be bought for 100000 gold from the Research Center.
Summoning
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.\r\n\r\nSummoning creeps will increase (or decrease!) your income, so plan your summons carefully.
Attackers
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.\r\n\r\nTower attackers are most effective against player mass-producing the weakest towers to create a very long maze.
Technology
Use the Research Center to research different elemental technologies; each with unique twists and abilities.\n\nEach technology research costs 1 Research Point; and some technologies can only be researched when certain criteria are met.\n\nYou can access the Research Center by clicking the bottom left UI-button, next to your builder icon.
About this Map
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.
New Features
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, rating, 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 blocks their lane.
UI-buttons: New on-screen buttons for easy access of technology research and summons.
Added player slots: 7 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.
