TFT Starship Troopers
Players: 8 (Full house recommended.)
Genre: Hero defense, survival.
Synopsis: Having been stranded on an hostile alien planet, your crew must survive a relentless crush of Zerg for 15 minutes until the evac ship arrives. Based upon NuclearAss's RoC version of Starship Troopers, this is a made from scratch TFT version. This is one of the more intense maps I have ever played. It takes team work and a bit of coordination to win.

Update List:
BETA: -creation- (Zurg)
1.00: fixed hydras, balance changes. (Zurg)
1.01: heavy balancing changes, edited abilities. (Zurg)
1.02: touched up a few bugs. (Zurg)
1.03: added difficulty levels, bug fixes, added instant kill, visual improvements (Zurg)

Future Plans:
-change item names to fit world
-improve balancing, especially of later levels
-fill out quest menu

I first created this map a couple years ago but recently returned to it in the hopes of polishing it up a bit more. I need help testing the map to give it the extra polish it needs to look better and be more fun. I want to have a map that is fairly simple but incredibly intense. Above all, I want this to be a fun map even if it is repetitive. Please try it out and tell me what you think. Don't hold back, I want to hear criticism.

Not bad.. introduction was pretty good as well, though my computer crashed after the beeping sounds!
Are you the same author as Starship Troopers Annihilation? (Original Warcraft 3) I still play that map today, mainly because it has AI support.. which brings me to, any chance of AI being added? Doesn't have to be advanced, but just a basic AI where you can fill in any open slots with computer players who will automatically take posistions.
Right now the AI works, but they just stay there in the middle. Would be nice to see it expanded just a little bit so they do something.. ;)

In any case looking forward to the next version!

You're the creator of that too? Man, are you sure you didn't invent the world?

I'll test it if I can get some mates over here. Doubt it, but I might.
