The mechanics that define the modern tower rush genre were not invented overnight by a single massive studio.

Custom maps allowed for rapid prototyping of mechanics.The 'tug-of-war' map style was incredibly popular.The talent pool grew from these passionate communities. The Smartphone Era

This fusion of real-time strategy deployment with CCG deck-building was the masterstroke that defined the modern tower rush.
