Oops the replay wasn't posted yet but escpy basically did the old early game steam tower, then fire + storm/Glacier all the way to late game with a couple of corrosives thrown in.

I wish there was a way to win cleanly without having to rely on Glacier/Storm towers >.< And fire clearly hasnt been weakened enough when a lvl2 and lvl3 tower of a single element alone can carry you all the way to the end :|

well, the key in basically almost all TDs is slow, thats nothing uncommon.

You seem quite good at the game, I would appreciate your balance suggestions. Perhaps start doing AR games to test diff combinations? If you choose to do so, credit will be given for your time testing and giving suggestions.

And to the others, being able to win with a certain element doesn't make it imbalanced. He used slow with fire that is a completly legitimate strategy.

could you actually make a random mode without interest rate in it ? getting different elements is one thing, but getting interest doesnt allow you to get any tower combinations at all and seriously can screw up the whole game (*hinthint* at game with 3-4 randomed interest rates).

or at least decrease the chance to get interest rate to half of what it is atm.

ya i agree tat while playing random mode, interest rate shldnt be pick, coz it doesnt help u to win the game if u got 3-4 interest in the process ..

increase difficulty ? i thought it had .. lol

oh btw, i tried with pure darkness, managed to win the game as well but leak 2 in the process
guess i need to tune up my strategy with darkness til no leaking .. zzz

what was about my proposition to have more actuall element damage dealing towers ? atm, apart from the 1 element towers no others use element dmg at all, all the 2-3 element towers consist of different elements, yes, but they only deal composite dmg and thats somehow really boring.

Thats really sexy dude. Let me know when its done, Pendragon_ said he will host it up for free via DA.COM servers. We could have forums and everything there, would be sweet. I'll wait and see how your site design goes though.

Balance suggestions anyone?

As for the elemental atk idea, I will look into it yes.

Well this may sound stupid and not make sense, but currently elemental towers do 200% dmg to one type, and 50% to another type, right? So for everything else, its 100% I guess?
Would it become too complicated if dmg was tweaked for the others, eg. from 100% to 75%, 80%, 65%, etc. for specific types of creeps?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
