Another tower Defense flash game

[FoBoT]

the water towers really help on bonus level 4 and 5 and don't cost much. you just need about 5-6 of them to cover the whole pathway so the creeps get slowed down, then your guns can get extra shots at them

i don't think you can do both
it needs a leader board for completed games (finishing all levels)

I just had a thought. By level 28, you can have a 30% interest rate, right? And selling off a tower nets you back 75% of your orginal price. Why not sell off all the towers you can before the end of 29 and 30 and then by them back? It's a 5% profit each time.

Ive done that with some expensive towers, but with 100 cannons that is tricky as you have to time it before you kill them all

I'm halfway through a level by level guide for this game... I wonder if anyone can improve on it...

Level 1, one cannon, just left of the upper inside right corner
Level 2, add a cannon to the right of the lower inside right corner
and a cannon in the bottom left loop. An arrow thing isn't enough extra to add.
Level 3, add a cannon to the bottom right of upper left loop; not quite enough to make it through the level, so upgrade the cannon at the upper right.
Level 4, nothing needed.
Level 5, Add cannon below center top green area
Level 6, upgrade bottom right cannon 2 got through; so added a cannon slightly to the left of the 1st cannon . BARELY survived!
Level 7: nothing
Level 8, get the fire tower, sell the cannons, place 1 fire tower in the same place the 1st cannon was.
Level 9, 2nd fire tower to the right of the lower inside right corner
Level 10, nothing
level 11, nothing
Level 12, add fire tower kitty corner (down and to the right) to the first fire tower.
level 13: nothing
level 14: nothing Don't forget to add interest at the end of this level
level 15 nothing
level 16 nothing (lost 3 lives though; will fix next time through)
level 17 add fire tower dead center vertically in the right green area
level 18 add fire tower just above previous fire tower OOOOPS, forgot they were fast on this level... Figuring out what the minimum requirement is...

Darn it, I forgot how many gold and my score at the end of 17... Maybe someone else can compare scores at that point, then we'll know who's on the right track (best strategy)

if you guys have WC3 and the expansion, this is the Element TD pathway. Element TD also has a really interesting element armor system and tons of towers. You can play it solo or against 7 others.

What is WC3? Oh, Warcraft 3. That's right. So they do have a full fledged game like this?

Yeah, there are tons of Tower Defense custom maps that people play online quite a bit. The custom maps really make WC3 worth buying again.

Wow. I didn't know there was an actual TD game. What expansion is it for Warcraft 3 that I'm going to need?

Even if you had the original War 3, you would be able to play tons of custom maps. The expansion is even better (Frozen Throne). If you enjoy tower defense games, all the TD games in War 3 make it KICK ASS. You think Starcraft had fun tower defense? Hahahaha just wait till you get to Warcraft.

I appreciate the effort, but a screenshot with numbers listed for where each cannon is placed would make more sense, i cant figure out how a cannon right of the lower right inside works

my best score at the end of lvl 14 is 488 i usually stop at 14 to see if i am ahead or behind

edit: up to 543 now

 

[Praxis1452]

bonus lvl two with mainly arrow towers unupgraded and a few fire. You just really need to get the combo towers in order to beat it right? 2,000dmg per hit... for only 200 gold.

okay, I simplified it a bit... all the cannons and fire towers are in the right vertical green area, on the left side of the green, bordering the path of the monsters; starting at the vertical center and working your way up. Just finished the 5th bonus level, I blundered on level 24 and lost almost all my guys. If it wasn't for that, my score would be quite a bit higher; ended up with 19838 points.

Here's the progression until level 24. During the bonus levels, I just went nuts upgrading. I over-upgraded; all the monsters were killed before they made it half a lap around (thus, I wasted a LOT of gold, and 25% interest on that gold really would have added up. So, here it is:

Level 1, one cannon (note, all cannons on the right side, beginning half way up and working up vertically)
Level 2, add 2 cannons
Level 3, add a cannon, upgrade 2nd one down
Level 4, nothing needed.
Level 5, Add cannon
Level 6, upgrade another cannon (top one) 1 got through...
Level 7: nothing
Level 8, get the fire tower, sell the cannons, place 1 fire tower in the right column at the top left edge.
Level 9, 2nd fire tower just below the 1st fire tower
Level 10, nothing
level 11, nothing
Level 12, add fire tower kitty corner (up and to the left) first fire tower.
level 13: nothing
level 14: nothing Don't forget to add interest at the end of this level
(at the end of level 14, I have 548 gold, 649 points)
level 15 nothing
level 16 nothing
level 17 nothing
level 18 add 2 fire towers; total of 6 now.
level 19 nothing
level 20 nothing. 1450 gold, 1561 points
level 21 nothing INCREASE THE INTEREST RATE AFTER THIS LEVEL
level 22 1 fire tower
level 23 1 more fire tower
level 24 added 1 fire tower OOoops (fast level) Got my butt kicked... down to 7 people.

At the end of level 29, I have 15 fire towers, 8296 gold, (earning 25% interest), and 7387 points.

Added 5 towers for level 30 ick, added 2 more during the level, down to 2 guys...
Finished level 9967 gold, 9074 points. Oh crap. Upgrading during the 1st bonus level; finished bonus level 1 with 9990 gold, 1126 points

Game ended with (as above) 19838 points.

39th in the rankings!

Nah you can beat it beat it with just fire and ice

but to get a high score... I got rank 18 without any elemental upgrades

 

[dxkj]

Update with popup letting you know the next level and rocket tower is supposedly faster

 

[ElFenix]

i suspect that fire towers are better than the even the upgraded combo towers due to the splash damage. but the range on the combos is really nice.

 

[Babbles]

I finally beat all five bonus levels, however my highest score is ~7600. I am usually broke at the end of the game; spending is a big problem for me.

 

[lykaon78]

107 on my 2nd try - and I way over did it on the last bonus level.

A little over a 11,000. How do you get a good score? I had tons of gold until the last level. I basically cashed out on the last one.

 

[lizardboy]

kitty corner?

 

[dxkj]

Score: 39054
Rank: 6

but looks like there is one fake rank in there too

No elemental upgrades, just all interest

Well, I managed to beat the game without using water towers. I just did the same thing I've done before (took the fire upgrade first, and then all interest) but I tried to be very frugal, even letting a few creeps through here and there instead of spending more.

I used only Level 3 (not fully upgraded) fire towers. For the last few levels especially I just started stacking them as closely as I could in various locations. I managed to beat bonus level 5 pretty easily as you can see.

Website is down. The game is no more, except that I did save it to my hard drive. If anyone wants the .SWF file or has a site to host the game on their own site, please private message me

You needed a few combo towers, six of them have the same power as all those fire units you have on your map. Combo towers also have a better damage to cost ratio.
