What is TGS (The Great Strategy)?
TGS is a brilliant map that went practicly unnoticed by the custom game community in WC3. It was a kind of Dota clone. 5v5, heroes fighting alongside spawned units from each teams base with the sinister goal of destroying the others. Gaining levels,buying items -> becoming unstoppable.
What made it unique was that heroes didn't have abilities by default. They were bought(the ability pool to choose from was about 40) by resources gained by leveling up.Also players could choose to invest their money not into their heroes equipment but to their teams creeps! Players could buy more unit types to spawn,add more of the same and buy upgrades for the units. This resulted into more tactical game play and freedom never seen before or since in a game like this. While still retaining good balance
