DevourerTDA- Competitive tower defense map for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne

For the last 8 months or so, I've been working on a new permutation of the Tower Defense genre. Over the weekend, I've finally gotten it to a point where I'm proud of my work and am revealing it to the world!

Introducing Devourer Tower Defense Assault! (DevourerTDA for short)

DevourerTDA is a new evolution of the Tower Defense genre that introduces a competitive aspect to gameplay. One side plays The Devourer, an evil force bent on consuming the world. The other side, the Defenders work co-operatively to hold off The Devourer long enough to build their Superweapon that will finally defeat The Devourer once and for all.

The Devourer controls a single hero unit with unique skills and can purchase items. He summons creeps to assault the Defenders, gathers income, purchases tomes to upgrade his stats and takes to the field to attack Defender towers directly. The Devourer wins by reaching the end of each Defender’s playing area, which allows him to reach the Altar of Blasphemies, containing ancient power he needs to claim this world.

The Defenders build towers to hold off the Devourer. Each Defender race has 40 available towers, with each race having unique characteristics and themes. The Defenders need to Interrogate creeps to gain Information, which lets them build the Superweapon, finally defeating the Devourer once and for all.

Work together as the Defenders to hold off the Devourer! Break through the defense lines as the Devourer to claim this world!

More information on the map, including available tower types, Last Stand information, and tips are available in the DevourerTDA Player's Manual document, available at: http://www.filefront.com/16641597/Devourer-TDA-Player-Manual.doc/

DevourerTDA works best with 5 players (1 Devourer and 4 Defenders). There is no single player option, though tutorial text is available in the Quests screen, available in single player modes.
