Green TD Evolution
Created by GenoHacker
01/07/2020 – Map has been updated to v2.05
Discord: Join the HackermansDomain.exe Discord Server!
– I had initially planned for these thing to be done in v2.04 but issues with the 1.31 editor prevented me from doing it, whilst 1 of the issues seem to have stopped the 1.31 editor is still slower than the 1.30 editor so depending on how the 1.32 editor handles the things i want to do may come sometime around reforged or some time later down the line.
– Switch over to LUA scripting, the map is currently entirely made in JASS GUI i want to switch over to LUA GUI to increase the performance of the map.
– LUA Damage Engine, ive been considering added Bribes Damage Engine to the map ever since the work i did on Warcraft Maul Reimagined necessitated the addition of Damage Engine to that map, however the JASS version impacted performance of that map greatly. Since the that map switch over to LUA and the Lua Damage engine performace improved alot and as such i feel like once Green TD is using LUA then i can add the Damage Engine without it affecting performance as much.
– Finish the tower varients i added in v2.04, as of right now the towers are unfinished mostly because of the WE issues i noted above, v2.04 had been in an unfinished state for months and the towers were a big part of it so once the Damage Engine is added i will finish adding the tower varients that dont currently exist in the game as well as expanding the capabilities of the existing tower varients.
– During my time working on Warcraft Maul Reimagined the other developers got me to use github to add my work to the map, what i want to do is experiment with the “Save as a folder” thing added to the WE, i would then have a github page for the map in this folder form, im not yet sure what benefit this could do for the map but its something ive been wanting to do since i started using github.
– Be more active in the wider Warcraft 3 community, over the years ive generally never been very active in the various communitys that have sprung up for WC3 but ever since Promises of MaulBot.com asked me if i would like my map to be hosted by them ive grown to like the small communitys that spring up around different maps, so over the past couple months ive been more active within different communitys and i dont plan on going away anytime soon.
Green TD Evolution is an almost decade long project of mine that started in 2011 with the map Green TD Pros 16.9 VII, the overall goal of the project is too make an enjoyable, replayable map without needless fluff or inconsistent design elements.
A more personal goal to me for the map is to be a constant project for learning and as a project that i can apply things to from my other various projects and experiments, so for some time now the map has been entirely unprotected in anyway and i have made an effort to make the map more readable to those who wish to explore the workings of the map. That said i am not perfect, the map is entirely GUI based and whilst i do make an effort to continually make my own work better their is bound to be better ways to do things that i have created, so i am always open to better ways of doing stuff.

Information about the Map:
The builder for the map is a Hero, this hero can use Skill Points to gain access to various active and passive abilitys. The actives consist of emergency tower varients of the certain standard tower and the passive abilities are an Intelligence Bonus and Income Bonus. The Hero has access to 11 different towers: Siege, Air, Frost, Poison, Aura, Trap Blueprint, Chaos, Bouncing, Bash, Research and Spell.
Their are 5 standard difficulty options you can choose from, each option, excluding Chaos Mode itself, has a Chaos Mode varient.
Each Difficulty has a different base income amount, chaos varients of them give a bonus to income and each difficulty has its own sell percentages for towers rangeing from 100% on easy to 20% on chaos mode, additionally certain towers require 2 clicks to sell them
Easy, Creeps have 50% Health.
Normal, Creeps Have 100% Health.
Hard, Creeps Have 150% Health.
Very Hard, Creeps Have 200% Health.
Chaos Mode, Creeps have between 200% and 400% Health, this will change every wave.
Up to 3 of the 11 towers in the game may be disabled to add further challenge and variety to each game of Green TD Evolution. Disabling towers will increase income by a small amount.
You can activate any number of the gamemodes listed below, Each activated gamemode increases income by 2 Gold
Gold Rush Mode, Whilst above 60% Health creeps have a 10% to enter a gold rush when attacked, it will gain health, armour, movespeed and will also cost you 5 lives if it reachs the end point, however whoever kills it will be rewarded 50 gold.
Swarm Mode, wave spawns are doubled.
Random Waves, every wave can now have a different armour type, there are 301 units divided between 7 armour types, each armour type has 43 different units.
Endless Mode, once you reach wave 60 the game will continuously spawn more waves until you lose the game, creeps gain 20% Health every wave.
Headhunter Mode, lets you spawn random bosses, they will give a gold bonus to all players if killed, if it reachs the end point it will deplete all lives and you will lose.
Speed Mode, time between wave spawns is set to 5 seconds and creep movement speed is maxed.
You have access to various commands and abilities, some of these commands have duel activators for ease of access
This is taken from Information Quests Ingame.
You gain Gold at the end of each wave, the amount of gold gained starts at 200 and slowly increases as you complete more waves by between 10 and 20 gold every wave.
Players that have below average kills they will gain additional gold.
You will lose 10 lives for leaking a boss. Immune Creeps have Divine armour and come every 5 waves.
Some towers are better against some waves than they are against others. Example Chaos tower are good against Immune creeps but are less effective against other creeps.
The spell tower has some useful spells, such as the stasis trap and and roar, that can really help you against some waves.
If a player leaves, his current gold will be split among the remaining players.
Your Builder will auto-blink if the distance to the point your moving him too is greater than 1200.
