So many monsters, so little ... towers

History of Tower Defense
This is a genre made popular by Warcraft III editor. The tower defense game was included as one of the bonus stages in Warcraft III, and so many defense mods have been created since then. It basically involves creating towers and placing them strategically to prevent waves and waves of monsters from advancing to a particular end point.

Towers have a variety of specialties to help you cope with the advancing monsters like being able to deal Area of Effect (AOE) damage, slow the monsters, or just plain nuke them to their deaths. In many Tower Defense games, the towers are also capable of being upgraded, giving them an extra boost in their power. Strategic placement, opportunistic upgrading of towers are hallmarks of a good tower defense player.
