Line Tower Wars - Evolution v1.67 -> v2.34

[Robbepop]

Hiho,

I am happy that you host the map LTW - Evolution v1.67.
However, the version you are hosting is quite old and thus I am suggesting an update to v2.34 which is far superior and many people want this update of this bot to happen.

Thanks in advance!

How is this different?

Hiho,

since I am the maintainer of both versions I can explain this in detail:

The v1.x versions of LTW-Evolution stick more to their origins and are more similar to the original Line Tower Wars maps, however, far more advanced than every other LTW map I have seen.

The v2.x versions of LTW-Evolution have gone a step further and introduced a completely new set of towers.
Besides the huge tower set revamp there are also new cool features like the mode selection via multiboard and a uniformly aligned playing field etc.
Also all creep types got updated in order to balance out the new towers.
The new tower set also fixes some old bugs related to abilities of old tower types.
The newer versions v2.x also feature A.I. so that new players can learn the game by playing against the computer.
In v2.x the whole map code got a revamp, so it is technically a new map.

So the greatest difference, yet a huge one, is the complete exchange of all tower types.

However, since many players are conservative in their feelings about LTW I still maintain both versions with the favor to the v2.x ones of course.
The best thing would be to host both versions to satisfy all players but I think there is no capacity for that to happen.

I am currently working on v1.68 and v2.34 and will very soon release them.

We currently have 150 games per week for ltw autohosted, not including priv hosted ltw games.

We can try the 2.33 version.

Thx for still working on the map.

Nice to see that statistic - I have always wondered how many games are still played.^^

I have uploaded the finished v1.68 of the old version set:

So in any case an update for the v1.67 to either v1.68 or v2.33 would be awesome - and as you already know I favor v2.33. =)
I have already collected some cool features which I would like to implement in an upcoming v2.34.

I am still working on my maps and you are working hard for ENT - thanks for that!
