Basically, the main idea of all games of this series is the traditional tower defense mood: gather money, build up your defenses and survive by not letting many wave units to leak. I want to give a reason to all this by making a plot.
I am thinking about making the maps in ascending order of num. of players. This way there would be a single-player map to be the beginning of everything, then (2)Snow Defense as the second part of the story, then a 3-player-map and so on.
I would really love if you leave suggestions below to help me construct an at least tolerable story.
Thanks!
Current plot (very nebulous and incomplete, may be submitted to major changes):
Quote
Due to a powerful, authoritarian and opressive regime, a large group of citizens (composed by Zergs, Terrans and Protoss) plans an exodus. Many of them steal the military weapons and prepare themselves for the worst. Meanwhile, there's a small independent Terran nation called <terran nation name> nearby. The group contacts its government begging for help and the counselor[1] agrees on hosting them in the city.
The <terran nation name> has its military force divided into clans. Each clan has its own commander (the players), and every commander is submitted to <military leader name>, a higher supervisor. With the news, <military leader name> fears the attention the exodus could call towards his own nation and disobeys the government by ordering the clan commanders to construct defenses against the horde of foreigners and annihilate them.

Current issues:
- How has the regime became powerful among three races in conflict and for what reason are they part of the same society? (This reminds me of apartheid)
- It's needed to highlight the conflict between the races of this society in the story.
- ... and all the rest.
