Beat Down TD v0.62.9

Beat Down TD

by Lazerus
A Battle type TD. Be the last one standing in a race to win. Build close to the spawn to send more or build at your Crystal Shard as defense. The more you kill, the more you send.

There is a Crystal Shard that you will be protecting from your spawn and the units being sent to you from your opponents. You start by killing one grey unit. That unit-type is then sent to all the players on the map but you. After killing 4 grey units you move to the next round sending that round to the other players and getting +1 income. The person in first place having the most grey units killed, receives a Beat Down Hammer. The wielder of the Beat Down Hammer sends two more units then everyone else. The wielder also has an aura that gives his spawn +15% speed increase making it harder for the wielder to kill but easier to clear levels.


Tower List: (adapted from Lazerus TD)
Normal tower - Normal damage 700 range 8 upgrades.
Spear Tower - Pierce Damage 700 range 8 upgrades.
Arcane - Magic Damage 800 range 8 upgrades.
Cannon - Seige Damage with Splash, 800 range 6 upgrades.
Ice Cube - Frost Slow Normal Damage Splash, slow speed and low damage. 4 upgrades.
Poison - Slow Killing Poison with pierce damage. 700 range 5 upgrades.
Fire Blaster - Magic Splash. High damage 300 range 5 upgrades.
Trent - Faster Siege Small Splash. 800 range 5 upgrades.
Rapid Fire - Normal damage. Really fast attack 700 range 4 upgrades.
Multi-Shot - Pierce damage up to 8 targets. 700 range 4 upgrades.
Skull Cannon - Siege Full Damage Splash to 300 area. 800 Range 4 upgrades.
Chaos - 100% to all armor types with Huge damage and 800 range.

Wow that's a good glitch find. Somehow your frost tower got killed and spawned at the top of 11's base. The units up there are not given the order to move yet and so were attacking that frost tower. Because it was in his area it blew up way too many of his maze blocks. It is made to blow up 2 random blocks. Anyway great find. Thank you very much.

EDIT: I recreated it with blue, blues poison tower ported up to his spawn. After also looking at your replay again and noticing it was His tower that moved.

EDIT 2: Found it, shouldn't happen again. By the way your blocking did not cause his glitch to happen, I think the wc engine messed up. His unit attacked his own unit, do not know how but a simple check should do the trick.
Thanks Again!

EDIT 3: Apology to WC. The engine works good. The trigger below has been updated but will not be posted to reduce cheating.

v@oldmilk - Oh yes I did. At one point I was calling it Lazerus Solo TD but it has changed so much balance wise it became a new game all together. I had in my description at one point that I had done that, better put it back.

Looks nice, I like it, especially the idea.
Idea: Very creative 5/5
Terrain:Awesome 5/5
Description: Very nice, neat, tell players what to do 5/5
Gameplay: What to say for the gameplay? Well, I think it is good, but not too much good. I get bored cause of not many towers, too bit 4/5
Bug: Oh yeah, the latest bug is fixed. So far i've not seen bugs 5/5
Suggestions:
-More towers, or even players can select variety of different builders/races?
-Oh yes, there are Crystal Shard's name that is...well... Witch Tit?
-Some events? Like meteors fall from the sky, damaging player's towers
Hope next version will be better! :grin:
Good luck in your project! :plol:

Thanks -BLOOD BATH-

I hope to have all new towers for ver 1.0, replacing all the Lazerus TD towers.
This new ver .54.7 has some new stuff and is working really nicely.

I took Witch Tit out.

Okay, I've got some new issues
-Skull Tower is hitting my own tower, I can't imagine what if i built 3-4 of them
Anyway, these towers have super-regen, but still, I strongly recommend you fix this @_@
-This game takes very long to end(until someone gets bugged blocking...)
-My tower's attack speed get slowed(treant) sometime, I don't know the causes as there is no status displayed
-Im hitting my own tower with another tower, but the attacking tower gets destroyed, why put this trigger?....
-BLOCKING issue again, my opponent isn't blocking & neither I am, but my tower gets destroyed...awll=.= (happened at last few minutes)

Watch the replay =]

just wanted to say that i have been looking for a good td with player interaction and this one is quite good. if u tune it a bit more with some tower balancing and a few more features, it certainly belongs to one of the better td maps out there.

is there a reason why the crystal shard has such a huge damage range (luck factor involved)?

Official Basic Review of V3H -


Terrain 0/10 - Just another TD
Concept & Idea 2/10 - Above*
Triggers 4/10 - Need work.
Object Data 3/10 - More towers could be useful as well try to make it unique?
Overall Map Data 4/10 - Imports would be nice.
Estimated effort spent into this 4/10 - As above you copied from your other map...
Playability & Improveable 3/10 - Add an Ai option to enable singleplayer.

Overall Mark - 20/70 =(

Any questions about the review, just ask and I will answer.

Suggestions -
Put your changelog in hidden tags.
Fix and improve description.
More data in all categories...

*IMPORTANT* ; Once updated the review will change, make sure to notify me when you update it. (mainly because my review could be unfair currently since TD's should be reviewed differently however I do not know if your still working on this.)

Vehster, I believe that many points in your review above were not necessary. Plenty of decent maps would be getting his poor overall rating of the equivalent of a 1.4/5 with those categories. Most of what he rated it poorly on: Terrain, Lack of Imports, "Estimated Effort", and "lack of AI" are things that have very little significance in TD maps. In fact, I'd say about 99% of TD maps have none of the above, except sometimes effort, but you can't really judge somebody's hard work based on how much work you think they put into it. Sure, all of those things can be neat to have, but they don't really matter that much.

I say this is about a 3/5, on par with other FFA TD's out there, but nothing groundbreaking either.

Lazerus, I can only hope that you don't rage here as much as you did in-game when I'd tested it a couple of years ago and told you what I thought.

I have grown quit a bit as a player in the last 5 years so yes thanks for the better review and I won't rage lol. I lost all my work but I am pretty sure this version is pretty clean. Thanks everyone for playing. I do want to mention that the terrain is unique for TD terrain, that's all I wanted with that. About the imports, most of my maps are loaded with imports but people leave on a slow dl in the B.net lobby so my intention was the fastest load time I could possibly get. Please excuse my description still haven't worked on that..
