by hurt our grade, do you mean if the upgrade makes no sense, or if its over powered?

> by hurt our grade, do you mean if the upgrade makes no sense, or if its over powered?

Yes. If the upgrade doesn't fit, takes away from your tower, doesn't make sense, etc.

well i'm making sheep school 101 the upgrades would be:

Recruit Sheep, increases damage and projectile speed/numbers
Enlarge school, increases the schools size, accomadating more sheep, works with upgrade no.1
Finalize Teaching, finalizes the students teaching, allowing the school to have the most advanced tools and tips, increasing damage,speed, and again, student count

would those fit (p.s. i call dibs on these upgrades ><)

 

[Ghan]

> would those fit

Sounds like an interesting tower....

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

meh, i hope someone will use it .

It's a tower with a farm as the model. It shoots out flying sheep (those damn speeders ) And the upgrades im making will accommodate the school. I should add some more upgrdes... cafeteria any one?

Ghan_04, I just want to confirm that this is OK. For this contest, the definition of "Tower" includes trap-like things too, right? I.e. units are created in the path of the creeps and the effects happen when the creeps walk on or through the traps.

> For this contest, the definition of "Tower" includes trap-like things too, right?

I would say yes and no. I don't think it would be much of a tower if you just build it, it goes off, then it's gone. It should AT LEAST be permanent to qualify as anything remotely close to a tower.

> Balance: Does your tower have the right amount of power? Is it not just an "ownage device"? Is it actually viable in a TD map?

I find this cateragory to be very, um, stupid.

How can a tower be balanced when it is all by its lonesome? Balance requires something on the other side of the equation.

What type of unit am I attacking? Hp? Armor? When in the game can i build this tower? Where can i build it? How many can i have? Etc. Etc.

 

[Ghan]

> I find this cateragory to be very, um, stupid.

I mean that very loosely. Of course, I know that your tower will different in power and tier than another person's. But, if you read previous posts, you'll find that question was talked about before.

not a tower with 2.000.000k dmg and 2k radius splash.

That's basically all I mean. Keep it within reason.

Ah k, I follow. Thanks.

I hoped you wouldn't mind. It just seemed the best thing at the time. I didn't know when you'd be back online.

Tower. I want a tower that could possibly be used in a TD. That's about it.

> The upgradeable or non-upgradeable wont affect the grading?

It might. But it depends on how well it's done to determine whether it will help or hurt your grade.

If my tower has no triggers involved, would it affect my grade?

 

[Ghan]

> If my tower has no triggers involved, would it affect my grade?

Probably. You wouldn't have anything for the Coding section of the grading.

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

[Black Hawk]
