How it plays
- Creeps walk from each lane's spawn (the dots) to the goal; the lines show the shortest way before anyone builds. Your towers turn that line into a maze.
- Flyers follow a set route on this layout (the dashed lines), not a straight line to the goal. Flight routes are 166–223 tiles long here.
- With fewer than 8 players, the lanes in play are taken from the middle out; empty lanes send no creeps.
- Everyone may build on the shared ground: that is where the team's last line stands.
