General Information

This towerdefence was starded a long long time ago (more than 2 years) and i decided some weeks ago to finish and optimise it. For the first it looks quite finished but its not exactely and i need feedback and ideas to improve it. Balancing should be quite good now.
It is a Single Tower Defence with chooseable Difficulty (Very Easy , Easy , Normal , Hard , INSANE!) and Lives (25 Lives / 15 Lives / 10 Lives / 5 Lives / 1 Live).

Terrain

Difficulty/Lives

Units will give Bounty and also you will get a Bonus Gold after each Wave
(Gold for Completing the Wave , Gold for having a chain of beeing Leak Free , Interest Rate (3,5%) , Bonus Gold for Secrets )

Multiboards

There are Two Multiboards Ingame
One shows you The current and Next Waves and the other one each players Difficulty and remaining Lives

Ingame Pictures

At the moment there are 8 Commands.

"-air" Displays all air waves and shows how many waves till the next air wave left

"-special" Displays all special waves and shows how many waves till the next special wave left

"-harder" Increases your difficulty (be careful with this command )

"-income" Shows your current Income rate (3,5% , increaseable with Secrets)

"-property" / "-property all" Displays the gold amount you/each player got after completing a wave in total (ranking)

"-secrets" /"-secrets all" Displays the number of found secrets you/each player got (ranking)








Waves

There are 50 Waves in this Tower Defense which are quite various.

Each 7th Wave is Air (Ground Towers deal 100% to Ground units and 25% to air units / Anti Air Towers Deal 200% to air units and 25% to ground units )
Air Waves ( 7 , 14 , 21 , 28 , 35 , 42 , 49 )
Be prepared for them !

Each 5th Waves is a Special Wave. These Waves a really different and you gotta be carefull with them. They can heal eachother , speed up , dodge your attacks or explode on death stunning your towers! You have to be prepared for everything


Towers

All in all there are 54 Towers in this game. At the beginning you got 4 Towers to choose of. (Human Tower , Orc Tower , Undead Tower , Nightelf Tower)
These can be upggraded 4 times each and got its Own advantages (e.g. Humand tower has bouncing attacks , Night Elf is antiair , ....)

With reseaching your Knowledge you can will get 4 new upgradeable Towers (Lightning Towers , Frost Towers , Mechanical Towers , Fire Towers )
Also each has its own Adavntage and each level 4 Tower has a Special Ability

You got two important unique towers to research (Nature Tower and Naga Tower )

Also there is a Secret Tower now

Tips:

- Racoon had no breakfast but sometimes he has to show patience
- Bam ! Stomp that ugly rat to the ground
- Pandas are lazy animals , they wanna be carried
- Your really dont know that Owl ?

I wont give more nformation about the Secrets




So thats all i can say about Snake TD
To get a real Impression you have to test it
Im always happy about Feedback and Critism!

 

[Hanky]

Well this map is exactly how a TD should be. The different diffulties are perfect balanced. And nice to see that you fixed all bugs . This map is perfect for single player and for multiplayer. The secrets and the special waves are full of good ideas. My favorite wave was of course the goblin wave but also the Frenzy DK wave was very funny. I just can recommend this map for everyone who like TDs or who like not TDs because its very well made. I wish you much good ideas and luck for the previous versions. Rate: 10/10

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

Oh yeah, nice to see Snake TD posted on Hive !
How the process, you told me about you add some funky new stuff ?

I'm looking forward for the new version

 

[-JonNny]

Thanks for your interest in my Tower Defense =)

Yes im goint to make some new things like a Race-mode in this map but before i do this i want to get some more feedback
Can you tell me what you dislike ? What could be done better ? Whats about Balancing ? Som new ideas or other suggestions ?

 

[Goldentiger]

i disliked the rabbit its to hard to do and understand that early on you have to time to work it out before its dead. Also i think the orc tower could be a little bit fast but apart from that great map

 

[-JonNny]

I hope the Orc Tower is quite balanced , Its speed is slow but it deals a high value of damage

Yes , the Bunny secret is quite hard but it should not be too obvious - its a secret also there are 5 other ones
And i even saw some people solving it in the first try without any additional hints

 

[Goldentiger]

yea i got 4 of then but i did not realise the bunny was there until i killed it so i did not have time also the orc only attacks 1 unit and is slow while the human atatcks 4 and is fast so i think the orc just needs a little bit more speed

 

[-JonNny]

Thats right , Humand Towers attack more units and have a higher attackspeed but Orc Towers deal way more damage
I calculated each [damage/second]/costs value to balance the whole map

e.g.
Human Tower 1 :
6-7 damage , 1,2 attackrate , 10 gold
hits up to 3 units , 100% + 60% + 36% = 196%
=> 1,07 dps/gold


Orc Tower 1 :
15-19 damage , 1,60 attackrate , 10 gold
=> 1.07 dps/gold

Its exactly the same of course the low attackspeed is a disadvantage but the human tower also does not hit all 3 units each attack

 

[Goldentiger]

okay then but then you get undead which are pretty crap but if its balanced then okay all in all nice map and you should add more race towers like troll or skeleton

 

[-JonNny]

undead which are pretty crap

Undead Tower 1 :
6-7 damage , 0,65 attackrate , 10 gold
=> 1,00 dps/gold
No disadvantage

still i think its balanced...

And i think the existing race Towers are quite enough
But maybe i will add one new ... dunno
i thought the choise of 3 upgradeable ground towers + Antiair Tower at the beginning is ok

 

[Goldentiger]

idn if its the triggers but twice when i got to the very late levels my game has crashed and gone off so please check out also i am playing full games on B-net.

 

[-JonNny]

Hmm... yes , sometimes a critical errors appears - i thought i fixed it with overworking the Sell system but i didnt got many testers or time to test it myself... but the error seems to be random and i have NO idea what could cause it
i gotta check again the whole map

 

[Squiggy]

I could offer help checking the triggers. If you want me to, pm me
