There's mainly one concept in this map: You have to research to stay alive.
There's 45 technologies in total to be researched, some with up to 5 levels, and 4 buildings that are required reach certain goals. A low-tech player wont stand the slightest chance against a high-tech player. – But don’t worry, it doesn’t take much to keep up with the progress.

In regular tower wars, you just build a tower defence and summon creeps to run through the opponents' defences.
In this map, there are several important differences:
1. You may hire defender units to back up your towers, but both your towers and your defender units can be destroyed by the attacker units. It’s fully possible to only use defender units for defence, or to use only towers if you want, and survive.
2. When you hire attacker units, they wont attack anyone until the “next attack in: “ timer runs out. When that happens, all attacker units will attack their targets at the same time.
3. You attacker units will attack a random target. All your units will attack the same target, but neither you or the target knows who will be attacked before the attack is launched. This way, you always have to be prepared for any kind of attack at all time. There’s no “oh the guy before me is a noob, I don’t have to build any defence since he wont attack me” like in Line Tower Wars.
4. Instead of 1 leak= -1 life, your life is decided by the health of your castle. The attacker units will try to destroy your castle, and with each hit they do, they will leach health to their own castle.
5. You don’t get any extra income for hiring attackers. All players get an income based on the game time elapsed plus their level of the Castle Expanding technology, with the largest income coming from Castle Expanding. Income will be dealt right after the attackers have been launched.
6. Well, how many technologies are there to be researched in regular tower wars…
At start you only have 1 tower type, 1 attacker type and 1 defender type available, but with researches there will be 3 tower types, 5 defender types and 5 attacker types. Not much compared to other tower wars, but with all the technologies available you won’t need a lot of unit types or tower types.

Quick facts:
- Free For All
- 2 – 10 players
- 45 technologies to research
- 3 tower types
- 5 defender units
- 5 attacker units
- Attacks and income only every 30 seconds
