a robust, basic and fun tower defense
v1.20 release
Worked on this map for a couple of weeks. It's a tower defense map, quite like others but very solid and fun. I would like to have some feedback on it. Its pretty balanced if I say so myself, so check it out!
The objective of the map is to prevent waves of creeps from running to the portal. You can use towers to kill, slow, stun or in any other way stop them.
The main thing you'll be doing is building towers and upgrading them to keep them good enough to survive the next wave.

I want to translate it into Chinese.
But,it seem like be optimized.
Because I can't find any Trigger.
Could you give the maps without optimization?
Thanks.

Is there a work-around for this?

Never heard of this bug before. Can't reproduce it myself.
It's a tower you can build with arcane : ) You'll need it to further upgrade in the arcane tree.

I played your map and I'm really impressed.
But I noticed that map miss game modes.
Also I checked script, it's more or less ok, leakless, bugless, some GUI/Jass mix.
Terrain sucks completely (my opinion), maze shape is really bad, players can fight for some spots because they allow player to cover larger area.
It deserve 5/5 but if you improve this with things I suggested above and some more unique things we can discus about DC then.
Oh I would like to help, terrain/code, I'm lazy with object editor and shits. So if you need something contact me.

drol's TD v1.20 Review
Map Infodrol's TD is a Tower Defense or for short TD created by drol. There are quite thousands of this but through playing it, I must say this iss very dfferent and better than those of I have played.ReviewIdea/Concept:
The idea of creating a TD map is quite good though there are thousands of them in different Warcraft Modding Sites though this is different from those that have played it has some little new features that made it interesting such as changeable terrain and lots of Towers to build and carefully thought Tower Techtrees which bestly fits each upgrades for each Towers. Items for Tower is also an original and unique idea for no one yet implemented that in a TD I have played. This map is sure creatvity and is really good to see it from this TD. I am willing to give this a 5/5.
Terrain:
The Terrain looks good and the command in changing terrain type is a great addition on this kind of TD though I do suggest that you should also change the doodads to the corresponding chosen terrain type because those Sunken Ruins Pillar remains even with countless changes in terrain type which looks weird. I would give this a rating of 4/5 for that is just a minor problem and a TD doesnt require much of a beautiful and complex terrain.
Gameplay:
The game is what I judge the most and I must say this is really fun as we speak. Lots of towers to build and through that it gives players to formulate their own Tower Build, meaning on what to build for this kind of situations and such. The items for Towers are also a great addition here for it gives Towers some advantages even with their low damage.The creeps were balanced though I don't like the fact that on Wave 66 that Corrupted Ancient Protector are quite imbalance. They can turn quite invisible fast and together with that, they come in a large group and has chunks of HP that makes them quite hard to take down. I suggest either lowering one of them: HP, Armor or removing Invisibility. I would give this a rating of 4/5CommentsOverall, this TD kind of map is much more fun than those I have played in the past and salute you for making such a map. You've really worked hard for this and for that, it also deserves a corresponding high rating. To sum up the scores you received in each category, you got 13/15 or 5/5. Congratulation and take this +4 REP as a reward for reaching such a high rating and making a great TD.

Good TD, once played with 2024 score xD (2 player with 2 computer [because my friend dont know it scales with amount of player] at easy mode), no screenies though since the text fade pretty fast
Tried again today, 2 player, beginner diff, no computer, Fatal error, i had all tower of metal (tier 10 metal), and my friend uses arcane (i dont know the tiers since i never used them), probably the one crashed is arcane random skill, since the first game i played with has no error with max metal.
http://prntscr.com/1rtn25 incase this will help in any way.
