Short description
Cannon Commander is a turn-based WarCraft III scenario developed by Sourc[e]x (Illidan(evil)x) for
The Hive Workshop's Speed Mapping Contest #1.
Cannon Commander has been designed for two players, but is also playable by just one.
As it's a turn-based game, it is playable by two players using a single computer (Versus Mode) as well.
Gameplay
Both player are each given the control over a cannon, and must, in turns, try to take down the other player's cannon.
A new random terrain is generated every round, or by request from the players.
The wind is here to mess with your projectiles, and especially in "3D Platform Mode" it's quite difficult to hit the target spot-on.
Pay attention to the flags and the blue wind speed indicator, as the wind will be randomized by every turn and can affect the projectile by quite a lot.
