Battalion Wars v0.9.8
This is a type of tug of war game, like castle wars. You build buildings and they periodically send people towards the enemy. You can also upgrade most of the buildings to send upgraded versions of units. With a unique armor system, 10 upgrades to choose from with up to 7 levels, and units made to counter other units, you'll never get bored of the game! The game also features a balancing system and other little commands you can use for the ultimate gaming experience!
Features:
-Auto Balancing system
-Complete armor system
-lots of upgrades
-Helpful commands (explained below)
-20 different units to send at the enemy
-2 bases per team instead of the normal 1 base
-leader board with information about players kills etc...
-8 special events randomly chosen
-Complete list of stats at the end of each game.
-Restart function
-Gold generators (yay!)
-different looking models
-And more
All of these are explained in detail below!

>>Auto Balancing system:
The Auto balancing system lets you play 1v1, 2v1 or 1v2, and balances the game so that both teams get equal amounts of money, as well was gives control over their allies buildings and units. Seeing as warcraft is being outdated by starcraft, i thought this was necessary.
>>Armor System:
The armor system stops snipers from killing a helicopter in one shot, but allows him to kill footmen easily. Armor Types and stats are listed below.
I purposely made the armor system as simple as possible to keep newer players from having a hard time understanding it.
Armors:...........................................Attacks:
.........................-Normal________-Pierce _________-Siege
-Normal ____________1.00___________1.00_________1.00
-Fortified____________0.80___________0.50_________1.50

>>Restart function:
Restart the game after completing a round instead of having to rehost.
>>Gold generators:
Gold generators help you to increase the income you receive, besides the regular income. However gold generators cost lumber and therefore you can only build a certain amount. the only way of increasing your lumber is by special events.
Gold generators can be upgraded 3 times at the cost of gold, each time, increasing the amount of gold received from them. If one is destroyed, you cannot rebuild it as the lumber used to build it is lost. Always protect them.

Now im going to show you images of the map:
The basic map. Ta da!
This shows the terrain of the middle part of the map.
The bases for each player.
This shows where the towers for each base are
Shows where the spawns from each base move to
Peasants cannot pass this line, they get moved back into their own base. These lines also remove enemy reinforcements and stops them from entering the base.
The research buildings.
