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.
At the beginning of the game you have 25 to 50 life (depending on players playing), 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 50,000 gold from the Research Center; each purschase will increase the cost by an additional 50,000.
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, Ravaging Ghouls, Mountain Giants and Phoenixes 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.

History
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 very old map script they're based on; riddled with bugs and performance issues, in terms of leaks and bad code. The balance is also all over the place with the all the different versions.
The goal of the Reforged version is to fix all this issues and bring a new and better experience for Line Tower Wars players.
