Warcraft 3 Tower Defense roots, which mod was first?

[klvb]

Hey guys,

Pretty sure there's lots of oldschool Tower Defense fans here.

I want to delve into history and find out which "MAZE" Tower Defense mod was truly the first one and can be called "original".

Besides, I'm really curious about who stands behind the idea and development. (author)


Any clues?

Appreciate

Wintermaul, Mort's TD and circle td, they were pretty early when it comes to Warcraft 3..

Ofc it all started with Starcraft / Warcraft 2, so Warcraft 3 wasn't the first one making tower defense maps.

I found this while googling some:
Файлы / Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos "Tower Defense Mappack [975 Maps]" / PlayGround.ru

Blizzard released a TD map along with the game didn't they? Isn't that the first one then?
Edit: oh nvm, you mean mazing TD

Yeah, probably it would be correct to find out the first mod ever including SC and earlier Warcraft's.
There's too much mods and it's really hard to determine the first one.

I believe that - no. It was somebody's mod.

I'm interested in MAZING/MAZE Tower Defense specifically, cant find any info on the first Maze mod/map
