TD map

[matin45]

Hello, I want to start a TD map with the name ToD: Tower Dwellers, based on "Tower Dwellers" android game, but I haven't any idea for it's terrain shape. I need suggestions. Note I can't use terrain hight change, because in this TD, towers spawn units to attack invaders.

so i quickly jumped into youtube to see what it looks like.
i think it's basically up to what you want to have as an end result.

Is it supposed to be a single player TD? Multi Player? PvE? Tower Wars?
Do you want just one level or split up the map and make several small levels with "simpler" terrain, or go for one larger level?
Height change is still an option as long as you put ramps or just use normal terrain deformation.

As it's a tower defense, terrain is not the most important part in my opinion, just make it obvious how creep routes work and fill only the outer areas with some details
If you want to keep the appearance similiar to the game, i think the lordaeron summer tileset as base works best, add and delete special tiles as necessary


PS: Also note that with the recent change in copyright for maps, you have to be careful when copying existing games into wc3.

A 4-9 multi player TD map, with large map.

I do all my works (at least now) with dalaran theme, and put a ToD on it, that means: Throne of Dalaran

Can you tell me more about that? I just copied two games to warcraft (but with changes) but nothing happend.
1.Trench Assault (ToD: Battle Lines)
2.Clash of Clans (ToD: Battlefield)

Blizzard changed their EULA for custom games, check this thread: Reforged - Dont make mods, boycott Reforged [EULA Update] for details, it's not guaranteed to happen, but it can happen that maps with copyright material will be removed/banned

So, why I should be careful? What I have to lose? I even haven't Blizzard account. (and I think I never have, you must work 1 month to buy it in our country how ever Blizzard does banned our country.) Also, nothing is said you can't create mods for warcraft, and if said, I don't create them for Blizzard, they are for the people.
Also, I'm going to sleep, so I will speak with you tommorow when I back.
