Hi!

How does you calculate life on mobs and your towers damage?
Is there some sort of table?

In the object editor you can edit the towers damage and mobs life. There isn't any universal chart of values to base damage/hp. Most of it is logic... You won't create towers dealing 999999999 damage and mobs having 600. You have to calcule

· The amount of waves
· The amount of spawns per wave
· The creeps hp
· The creep speed
· The buildable area
· If it's maze-able or free-road
· Your tower types/upgrades over Creeps resistance
· The amount of time the creeps are "under fire"
· If there is any kind of team-support
· If you loose when lives reaches 0 or when there are too many mobs at the same time
· You have to mix all this to think about some sort of strategy that allows players to beat the game not by just building a lot.

etc... Basically: Game design.
