Tropical Tower Wars [TTW] is a custom map made for Warcarft III: The Frozen Throne. It is based on the idea of being a Tower Defense (Stop creeps from getting to a point, by building towers to kill them), but with a twist, creeps do not automatically spawn as in normal TD games. Creeps are spawned at the cost of each player in the game, and are done so by summoning them from a shrine.
A TTW game consists of 2 teams, with 3 players each - 3v3.
The host will be required to choose the game mode once the map has loaded: -ap (players can pick their builders), -ar (players are given random builders), -arm (players are given random builders, but teams are mirrored), -fs (players can view the entire screen, not only their half)
Once the game has begun players need to begin placing towers in a way that will best prevent creeps passing through their area, generally done by making a maze. Place a few towers, and begin sending creeps to attack the opposing team.
The map is a tower defense where you have to work with your team mates to destroy the monsters. The tileset is Sunken Ruins and the size of the map is 96x96 of which 84x89 playable. We recommend that you play the map 3 on 3.
