Any proof of permission or at least trying to get it from the original author(s)?

I'm not sure who's the original author, the map has been passed around from person to person for like two decades.
I've tried to list most names I could find in Special Thanks, that I think has some impact to the LTW history.

Most Line Tower Wars versions I have is of a different author, and it's hundreds.
The oldest versions I can find as of now from my disks are from 2005 and some are even modified by me back then. But even these versions are based on other, older, versions.

Who would you say is an original author in this case?

As it is now I think with all the unique features of Line Tower Wars: Reforged, it's a completely different map from the other Line Tower Wars, except the name and basic gameplay loop. Everything in the map is new and from scratch. It's also pretty much the only Line Tower Wars version played.

Line Wars Reforged STD is a contemporary remake of a well known multiplayer tower defense series of maps. This one comes with super variety and conversion to modern UI customized elements.
Not entirely sure if the tower gameplay mechanics remain loyal or are enhanced.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

It is the best map I was given the chance to play on Bnet.

Hats down to lolreported for this amazing job

A timeless classic, combined with lolreported's commitment to enhancing the map and responsiveness to feedback, has evolved this map what it is today.


Line Tower Wars Reforged is an addictive map that caters to both casual and competitive players, appealing especially to players that like to engage in a quick (10~30 min) session of action packed tower wars, where one strives to be the last man standing by having the toughest maze or the deadliest sends.


The gameplay of the map is simple and quick to grasp, allowing for new players to be able to immerse themselves in fun without the frustration of not knowing what is going on. On the flip side, the map provides several layers of complexities and mechanical challenges for players who play to improve and strive to become the winner every game. Players will be able to find themselves improving after each and every game, learning new ways to become more efficient (in means of both defense and offense), and ways to become more scrupulous in taking down other players to become the last man standing.

From my personal experience, the game opens up a whole new world for you once you've gotten the hang of mastering one strategy (Starting Technology), and becomes extremely fun (yet frustrating) when you're slowly moving towards mastering all 16 Technologies and finding more ways to optimize your maze and sends.

Would definitely recommend players to try out!

I saw someone play TD game on youtube, and it brought back memories of playing this custom in WC3 --- is the custom community still active? Do I need to buy the reforged edition to play?

You can still play the latest patch of the game if you have an account with the old Reign of Chaos key.

But seriously, I don't really like the latest patch (2.0.1) because it has an aggravating circumstance of having a big bug in the gameplay, most notably the missing models and terrain textures.

Most LTW player are playing with Classic graphics, so there should not be any issue with missing model or terrain textures
