Basic Towers are your Guard and Cannon towers.
They are the first towers you can build and is what gets you started!

New Builder Skill:
Judgement Day
Creates a catastrophic reign of chaos that dominates everything in it's path.
What does it do?
You'll have to wait and see !

Evasion Waves
Every 12 waves
Gives the unit a 5% chance to dodge an attack.
If the dodge is successful, the unit gains life equal to the attacking tower's damage.

Armored Waves
Every 3 waves, starting on wave 21
Since units have a base of 522 movement speed after wave 18, I decided to change "Fast" special waves, to "Armored" after this point.
Armored waves have two times the amount of armor of the previous wave.

Is there really only three people that have played/enjoy FTD ?

Anyways;
As Daicos said, and I in my previous post, forums are now up.
It's a basic forum for now, until more people signup and play FTD.

Also;
If you play FTD and didn't like it, could you please leave a comment as to why and how I can improve it to make you want to play it more?
I'm working on v1.1 so now's the time to say something you want added in.

Thanks to you three for the support thus far though!

Keep the thread warm for me TH.net!

 

[Daskunk]

Prod makes them go directly to last point, then back to the second point, and continued on the path, not continue on thier path correctly like it should. (Only some times)

When you select the build menu, the towers are all in random posistions. The cheapest tower should be in the top left corner, sorted by cost from there on.

There should be diffaculty settings, IMO. Also, the creeps should have no collision size, they kept getting stuck on eachother a lot.

The idea of using mana as health is pretty boring, becuase it doesn't really change anything. Its just health instead of normal health. However, the creep paths and shape of the map add to the stratagy, which is nice. You cant just build towers wherever you want. The only problem is that once you find the right spot (which I did on first try) after that there is not stratagy in it really (becuase after that, its to easy).


The towers need some work, they aren't really very interesting or original. Allthough they work together well to kill creeps, they are the same towers I see in alot of cinematics. If you really want to keep them, you could try improving the effects, like the attack projectile, the model file, and the way the spells look and work.

Overall, it wasnt bad and it shows promise, but for right now its not too fun for me to play.

I hope to see a new version soon, and I hope I helped!

EDIT: In case I didn't make it clear: Its WAY to easy!

 

[WolfieeifloW]

If Prod! makes them go to the last point, it's working perfectly.
The towers aren't randomly placed?
Row 1 = Defensive Towers
Row 2 = Offensive Towers
Row 3 = Basic Towers

Difficulty settings will be in either v1.1 or v1.2.
Collision size is 0.50, I haven't had a problem with this size yet.
Did you play all 50 levels?
I only got to level 34 I think before I died?

I'll agree the towers are basic, but it's still v1.0 .
I'll be adding more advanced towers and such in the upcoming versions.
I'm going to make spellbooks to place all the towers in, so I can have more .

Anyways;
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh, and look in the "Special Thanks" quest, you're in it .

 

[Daskunk]

If Prod! makes them go to the last point, it's working perfectly.

Okay, but why wouldn't it just make them continue on the path they should be going?

The towers aren't randomly placed?
Row 1 = Defensive Towers
Row 2 = Offensive Towers
Row 3 = Basic Towers

Ok, I see now. But I still think it should be in the opposite order even still.

Did you play all 50 levels?
I only got to level 34 I think before I died?

Actually im still playing it right now, just swiching between things (Im a multitasker) but I think Im only at level 23 right now.

EDIT: opps, just bymistake blocked, and got 4 towers killed. Still doing perfectly fine though.
EDIT: Now Im at wave 41..

EDIT3: I finished it, only lost one life (Idk when). Ill upload replay later. I had to leave so I saved and loaded later, which might screw up the replay, though..

FINAL edit: Here's the replay, allthough I doubt you want to watch it. It got cut off at the start of the 49th round. I killed the 49th round easy, and by the 50th I had another ultimate tower and a few speed towers I think (I forget, I might have gotten them sooner then that) and I killed the final round. He got farther then the second point where I had a cluster of towers though.

 

[Julian4life]

tell me if this was already posted or something, but something i noticed was that my arrow tower shot an arrow, but nothing was hurt damaged or anything. Then it shot again and something died (at level one) and repeated that pattern. Sorry for the late response, i was snowboarding

 

[WolfieeifloW]

That's because creeps use mana as HP, so it doesn't show when them losing the mana ?
@Daskunk: Thanks for all your feedback, I'll note down everything you said.

 

[dkperson]

[Daicos]

The hex Bug is old and Wolfy is working on it... i should no i experienced it myself so yeah just dont use the Hex tower...

@wolfy: Im bak from holiday!!! haha Was fun but thats completly off topic...

 

[CaptDeath]

ether a mod keeps wiping this or wolfies spamming threads and it looks like its going along well wolfie W00t

 

[Daicos]

well as far as i no wolfie has only made two thread... the one with ideas and crap and when it was going to come out... and this one that has everyone... this one is like a cleaner version to the other

 

[Joker(Div)]

Units sometimes dont die at the center... Please Do something.

Also, do the ivory towers have to last 1 round? Can you change it so that they carry over?

If the units clutter too much, they skip all the checkpoints...

 

[Daicos]

Yeah wolfie and many other people (including me ) have noticed that units get stuck in the middle... Thats why Wolfie included the Prod ability!
If that doesnt work then build a tower near them... most likely tho the unit will attack the tower! but then they continue to the centre!
It happened to Wolfie on the Sammy Level!!! It was funny

 

[Joker(Div)]

The thing is that the units don't die even when they are at the center.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

EDIT: First off, we need more people on the Forums, go join up!

Sorry about not responding guys.
I got banned for, what I and many others think, is an unjust cause.
That aside, I'll answer all your questions.

yeah i have a replay of a bug u shuld fix... because they killed my towers when i hexed a bunch of them.... and one monster got stuck just b4 it took a live from a player...

As far as I know, the Hex bug has been fixed.
Are you sure you have the latest version, v1.0b?

ether a mod keeps wiping this or wolfies spamming threads and it looks like its going along well wolfie W00t

The other thread was for ideas and the ALPHA.
If you look for it, it is now closed by my request.
I made sure to PM Romek about it and this is not spamming.
And for now, it's going quite well, yes.

Units sometimes dont die at the center... Please Do something.

I was pretty sure this was fixed.
I've made a fix in v1.1 if it isn't fixed in v1.0b.
It happens rarely though, so I won't be fixing it until v1.1 is released;
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Also, do the ivory towers have to last 1 round? Can you change it so that they carry over?

That's what the Storage Vault is for.
And they do indeed have to last for one round.

If the units clutter too much, they skip all the checkpoints...

I've never encountered this problem in v1.0b.
If it happens to you again, upload the replay please.
