I've been looking at the most popular custom maps for a bit now (not too recently at the time being) and have noticed that I have yet to see a Tower Wars map anywhere. So in that regard, I just have a couple of questions about Tower War maps (don't know what Tower Wars is? Go to bottom).
1.) Why are there no Tower War maps? Anyone know?
2.) Are you guys (and gals) interested in a well done Tower Wars map?
a) If yes, is there anything specifically that would make it interesting, unique or simply something that is desirable.
b) If no, why not?
The reason why I'm so curious is my friend and I are wondering the same things and we have a high chance in creating such a map. So please send some ideas or suggestions with the answer for the questions above.

Tower Wars I believe started becoming popular in Warcraft 3 (may just have been in Warcraft 3). It is similar in a way like a Tower Defense map in which you build a maze and you prevent monsters or waves from getting to the end. The key difference is though, that you, the player, make units of your own that will spawn on the opponents side of the map to run through their maze and try to reach the end. If any monster reaches the end of the maze that person loses 1 life. Winning would conclude the opponents lives = 0 and you, of course, still have lives left.
1. There are actually a couple of decent Tower War style TD's.
Line Tower Wars (I don't really like the style, but its still good)
Mercy TD (Very good IMO, one of the few maps I would log into SC specifically to play)
There are more, but those are the only two that I can remember.
2. I'll be like everyone else in this thread (besides Karawasa) and mention my map haha. I'm currently making a 2v2 TD, 9 creeps to choose from, Mazing, and creeps fight each other.
3. I think you should go for it.
Some Ideas:
Players interfering with each other aside from sending creeps.
When you kill an opponents creep it spawns a creep for the opposing team / player.
Rewards for finishing a wave before your opponent.
Good terrain (ex. Elemental TD . . . too many maps disregard aesthetics)

Freax Tower Defence is a really good remake of Tropical Tower Wars from WC3 and you can play with 2 or 4 teams. Gets a bit laggy at the end though.
I suppose what i'm working on now constitutes Tower Wars, though i always thought it was just a competitive TD game :P
I have tower war like map. (split td Its more like the dixel td, than the traditional tower wars.
I have a UNIQUE tower war map up on B-net US , check it out!!!
ASTRO WARS!!
Tower Wars is an example of a competitive TD game. A competitive TD game is not necessarily a Tower Wars.
