LTW 1.67 instead of Team LTW

[xeoMe]

I've seen ENT hosting Team Line Tower Wars and i've always tried to make it start but never works because noone joins.

Most of the time i see other LTW bots hosting LTW 1.67 and i must admit the game is getting full kinda quickly it mostly stops counting cause people join.
I think it's a good moment to turn Team LTW into LTW 1.67.

Hope you guys understand and will accept this.

Edit:
I see your already are hosting a LTW but it's version 2.32 which kinda sucks, maybe try 1.67

@xeoMe

Please explain why LTW 1.67 should be autohosted instead of v2.32

Popularity? Balance? Why is it more fun? etc

@nabo

1.67 is way more populair those versions are filled pretty quick and if you have a 2.32 filled you may speak of luck.
The 2.32 has weird spell towers and only 1 powerfull elemental tower which in 1.67 is unlimited.

Not sure if you could track statics about maps being hosted but i guess the Team LTW and LTW 2.32 isn't played very often.

@xeoMe

Seeing that we have avg of 20 games per week for team ltw, why not?

I couldn't agree more to this. 1.67 is way more fun and offers a variety of different towers with more expandable modes, it also requires more strategy. In 2.32, the tower base models are weird and it's hard to determine where your maze path is, lacks towers, etc. It's a plastic version of 1.67.

We currently have Team LTW and LTW 2.37. Changing Team LTW to LTW 1.67 seems undesirable because we would then have two non-team LTW bots. Do we want to disable the Team LTW bot and change the other to 1.67 from 2.37, or anyway have the two bots on?

We are currently hosting: Ltw-Evolution v2.32 opt.w3x and Team Line Tower Wars 2.8-opt.w3x

Based on these stats, I see that the later versions of 2.xx are not popular for a reason (bad updates).

I would vouch for going with 1.67 or 1.62 version and change our team ltw version to "Team line tower wars next gen 1.2c.w3x.

I found all the maps in cloudgnome's database, so you can probably see how many games played from your side too.

Updated both maps (to 1.67 and the team one above).
