• Pathing attempts to understand when a player is juggling, and will react immediately to detect the shortest route

*New Selling System

• Tower selling now has a set timer per each player in the game
• Each time a tower is sold this timer increases
• When a tower is sold, an animation can be seen indicating that it is in the selling process
• Selling a group of towers will increase the timer in the same fashion as selling each tower in the group one by one
• The sell timer will only decrease to its default value if a player has not sold a tower over a certain period of time
• This system has been implemented to prevent players trying to abuse the juggling of creeps

Version Releases

With the rushed release of the Warcraft III 1.24 path, Blizzard have managed to render many custom maps useless. One of which being ours. We have spoken to them, and testing for 1.24b is already under way. This will fix all the current issues we are experiencing. Until then TTW will not work on the 1.24.* patch.
