General Information

This is a remake of the Classic Peon Wars map. You start out with a lonely Peon and a base and you must destroy the opponent's bases. You do this by building towers in an offensive manner.


Gameplay

226832-albums7451-picture86270.png

Old map overview (1.0)
226832-albums7451-picture86827.png

New terrain (as of 1.2)

There are two teams of 5 players each along with an AI. The AI is simply a main tower which, if destroyed, makes that team lose the game. Several items for the Peons to carry can be purchased at the tower. Peon Wars games are meant to take about 10-25 minutes.

Each player picks a Peon (Mighty, Nimble or Wise) and tries to take control of the middle. There are 3 beacons (called Control Points - CPs) which the Peons can take over to provide two bonuses for the team.

-Each CP provides the team of the owning player 3 gold per minute.
-Each CP provides a special aura to Peons around it: The top CP provides health regeneration, the one in the middle provides speed, and the bottom one provides mana regeneration. Several tomes can be found at each of the CPs at the start of the game, so get there quickly!

Gold and Lumber are used to purchase items for Peons to carry, buy upgrades for towers, research the Death Tower, and to train special units that produce food and can scout. Gold is gained by killing towers and Peons and by controlling the middle of the map. Lumber is supplied from Ashenvale, granting all players a lumber income of 1 per second. (Pooling gold and lumber to friendly players is necessary to unlock the more expensive upgrades.)

Five minutes in the game, all players receive 25 gold. After ten and fifteen minutes, they all receive an additional 50 gold. After 20 minutes, they all receive 75 gold and have Death Towers available free of charge.

Once one team has the middle part held down for long enough, they will gain enough of an upgrade advantage to begin a final push towards either each of the players' individual bases, taking each player down separately, or by destroying the main tower, which is harder to do, but immediately wins them the game. The player's Altars, however, can retaliate, and can use a Wrath of Storms ability to halt large assaults instantly:

Tower List
There are six towers to choose from:

-Four Basic Towers, which are available immediately:
