Who would have thought that a Warhammer 40k style map would be fun? I sure didn’t! This map proved me wrong. The game is really fun and i love the tower system. Every race plays very differently. Demon swears by Choas/Space Marines. In this version the Tau fire warriors have a 20% stun chance which is amazing! However air waves are difficulty with them. The Elder towers can upgrade into a lot of diverse towers making them really fun to play with. Basically this map is very made very well and is nice and addictive.

Facts:
Warhammer 40 TD 346
Absolute minimal required players: 1
Maximum amount of players: 8
Difficulty rating: 8

Modes:
Plain old TD.. There are 8 races, and the Chaos space marines have 4 different sub races.

Air levels: every 5 levels?
Boss levels: forgot, make sure u kill them though, bosses give HUGE amounts of cash!

Known bugs:
none so far

Information:

In this map it is important to maze the creeps or you will not have enough time to kill them. The best method found so far is to make them zigzag from left to right. It must be noted that you can not build enough towers to maze your entire zone. Here are a couple of examples of defenses:

Hints:

  • Type -autowithdraw and -autodeposit before the end of the first round.. the bonus system is amazing!
  • I suggest giving Tau a try, the firewarriors have a 20% stun chance which is amazing. Build the top right tower which is cheap and deals out pain.
  • The grey player gets no spawn, meaning if you play with two players you should be able to make the game even easier by having someone play grey!
  • Grey should give the Necrons a try, the final tower is fatal! Especially considering necrons have the +25% bonus damage towers.
  • Blocking will make creeps angry so dont bother trying it.
  • For the first level 5 air wave you should have 1 anti-air unit, this differs per race:
Race Unit Upgrade from
Necrons Pariahs none
Tau Kroot Shapers Kroot Warrior
Ork Shoota Boyz Boyz (2nd unit)
Chaos Raptors none
Imperial G. Rocket Launcher ?
Elder Swooping Hawks Guardian
Dark Elder Hellions ?
Tyranids Venators ?

The bonus income system is interesting since you can pool money to the last defender for an extra income boost. I’d only recommend sending money to the grey player if you trust the defender to send the money back after each round.

While my memory of the Warhammer 40,000 TD has been not updated in years, I believe that you can build an “ultimate tower” for your race, but I am confused about the “Elder towers” that you noted above. Were they modified in the new release to allow upgrades?
I always considered them to be Over-Powered (OP) since most races with medium strength anti-air (chaos dmg) towers end up owning air in the late-game phase.

Additional Notes
————————————————————————–
When a player leaves, you have the option of opening or closing their spawner.
Anyone who enjoyed playing this TD might like to try WhiteTD and YouTD. Both custom WC3 TD maps have unique game-play mechanisms that has an income bonus system, risk-taking opportunities, and randomised functions for an unparalleled fun experience!

I noticed that Heroin posted an outdated version of the TD map. A newer posted (3 years later) by the same mapmaker, Ralle, has updated the TD to v5.06c.

Here is the mirror to the map above:-
