A new Start ..

Something has come to my mind. A map...Not a map that'll take months to build just a simple one..

I was thinking a lot about tower war games...And it hit me!

Concept:

Basically there is like a 3 minute timer to build, and each team builds towers until the time limit is up. When it goes away the towers "activate" and start shooting at the other team, and the last tower standing team wins.

Types of Towers:

Arrow Tower:[/size]

21-27 Damage Attack Type Pericing. Speed .7

Armor 7 Stone hitpoints 5555

Abilties[/size]

Multi-Shot: 3 Towers

Cannon Tower:[/size]

Attack Damage 178 - 259 Aoe 666 Attack speed 3.2

Armor 17 metal hitpoints 7k

[size=18]Abilties

Unbreakable Metal:Invul for 5 seconds

Sucide Bomb: Destory itself and explodes shard fly everywhere and do 1.2k dmg in a 666 AoE

r=white]]I will Be adding more stuff so the game isn't just what wow people call "Tank N' Spank" Like I.E Chain Heal and stuff like that Gonna be buyable items you get 2 incomes one before towers fight and one 1:00 before to buy Items with charges and what not.[/spoiler]

r=white]]Thorw me more tower Ideas [/spoiler]

So it would be a more boring version of Peon/Wisp Wars?

wisp wars is pretty sweet(assuming you don't get leavers).

tower wars is fun because there is an element of movement and variety on the playing field. Towers do not move and there for a game designed solely on towers fighting towers and nothing but towers fighting towers would be fairly boring to watch.

You need some sort of creep or army concept somehow.

I'd be more worried about a 3 minute set-up time prior to a single and round-ending spray of fire (if it's a game-ending spray, then no one would ever play it).

Think about noobs trying the game. They'd stand there, "What do I do?" Experienced players scream back "BUILD!", and they go "...". It would be horrible to attempt to create an audience for such a game.

You need some kind of catch or excitement that would be easy for first time players to grasp on to. Otherwise, noobs and experienced players alike will leave out of frustration, and it would be unlikely that the game would ever get played much.

I was read your post at school and i dont know my password can't reply sorry..

But heres how it is..

Option A) 12 builders 12 diffrent towers in total each builder having the same buildings And each builder being a "Priest" or a "warrior" And what not...

Option B) 12 builders each having 7 diffrent types of tower...and 12 diffrent heros with diffrent abilties to help heal towers or help kill.
