LINE TOWER + BOTS [Felito LTW 1.53]

[deepstrasz]

Since this is Felito's or some else's map, do you have permission to upload/edit the map?

The description is a bit short without any particular gameplay info. For instance tell us what's different in this version from the previous or original one.

Awaiting Update.

Hello and thanks for the feedback!

Kind regards

Hey. Thanks for answering. Can you prove that you are the person, somehow?
I have not yet tried the map. First I want to make sure everything is legit.

 

[Herohatcher]

I have been away from mapping for a couple of years. I started again and used the nickname my friends are giving me these days.
My real name is Felix. How can I prove it to you ?

 

[deepstrasz]

Hey, you can edit the post above. We don't need your real name. I thought that you might have some account somewhere like on Battle.net named Felito, as proof.
But don't worry. If it's not really possible to prove it, then we'll let the map stay as long as no one comes to claim authorship of it.

 

[Herohatcher]

Thank you! I just updated the map.
I would be happy if it could be approved

Kind regards

"A refurbished version of the all time classic."

Hey. Is this map based on someone else's? If yes, you should try getting permission to edit if possible. If the author(s) cannot be contacted, at least show you tried.

 

[deepstrasz]

While the gamplay itself is nice and competitive, in terms of uniqueness, originality or creativity, this map is pretty much a copy of others of the genre.

Approved.

Yo yo

I have played this map quite a bit during the weekend and it is a very well made new version of LTW. First of all I am not a LTW veteran and have only played the original map a few times so i cannot compare too much to that one. The gameplay is fun and fast paced as it is in the original map so nothing new there.

Where this map excels compared to LTW reforged which I tried out for comparrison is how easy it is to understand. I really like having the different buildings and the builder on the f1-3 buttons compared to the custom ui in the reforged version as it makes it way faster to go around the menus. The tech system is also easy enough to navigate but i don't really like how the main source of skill points is stealing life from other players, maybe this is a LTW thing but it makes your game heavily dependent on how good the player you are sending to is and leads to excessive snowballing that both make comebacks unlikely and makes the game feel more dependent on your opponents skill than your own.

The AI is really good and feels fun to play against, as I said I am in no ways a veteran and it took me some tries to win against a full lobby of easy AI's. To contribute to my earlier point the game won i was paired up with an extremely income greedy AI which meant I got a ton of early wood (skill points) as the AI could not defend anything which lead my tech to increase way faster in my other games.

All in all this is a very solid map and I found no bugs, it is perhaps a bit too close to other LTW genres but I think it has enough unique features to warrant a try atleast

Fun: 4/5​

Well made: 4/5​

Originality: 2/5​

Overall: 3.5
