I think tower defense was originally a SC custom map? I might be wrong. It got huge with... WC3s Wintermaul?'s version? I think... I'm disappointed most modern versions are pre-pathed instead of build-a-pathed. Build-a-path adds a whole new element to your strat depending on your faction. Zerg-like factions thrive on building ultra-long linear paths, protoss-like factions are good building wrapping paths leading the enemy past expensive cannons multiple times. In desperate times you can block the path and take enemy assault to the towers instead of letting them walk. So much more depth than pre-pathed nonsense
