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 three major resources: Life, Income and Gold.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of the game you have 25 to 50 life (depending on players playing), 30 gold and a starting income of 20 gold.\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).
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
You can access the Technology Research Center by clicking the bottom left UI-button, next to your builder icon. Use the Research Center to research different technologies; each with unique twists and abilities. You start with 4 free Technology Researches and after that the base cost is 50,000 gold, increased by an additional 50,000 gold after every research. Advanced Technologies can only be researched when the Basic Technology from the same path is researched. It's possible to combine different technologies and unlock their Ultimate upgrade. You can view all Ultimate Towers if you click the checkbox in the Research Center.

History
Line Tower Wars have had an incredible amount of reworks by various developers with their own touches. Crediting all is unfortunately difficult. 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 and the gameplay balance that's 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.
