Emberward Part 1 - I might be the world's most overqualified player for this game. Ten years in the Bloons mines followed by a long stint in the roguelike industry, it's time to make an absolute mockery of this game. However, there are harder difficulties, so let me know if you want to see more!

For those of you who were disappointed with how easy Tyler made this game look, know that he was playing the easiest world on only Normal difficulty, and his starting lineup of towers (he didn’t show the selection process, but you get to choose from 3 sets of 3 random towers out of a pool of at least 10) contains the two best towers in the pool of potential starting towers. This game can and does get much harder than this.

range is pretty solid if you can attack from further away - IF you maze properly. Also the Stun mechanic from enemies lets towers from further away still keep firing which can be very beneficial

I really like that the enemies can affect your towers, I feel like that's something that's really rarely seen! Combod with adjusting the enemy path that makes a really cool mechanic where you want to adjust the path of the enemies in a way that maximizes your towers effectiveness while spreading your towers out enough that those stun attacks don't hinder you as much. Love that, really cool.

2:46 I only half-agree: in a game like this, you probably don't need range for most of the time, because you pretty much create your own map, but for games with set maps, there are often multiple spots that enemies get stuck on for a long time, and when that's the case, range is a really nice way to make sure your towers aren't just sitting there half the round. Sure, if both spots are occupied at the same time it really doesn't matter, but with many layouts and wave patterns you'll find the enemies all group up in some spots early in the wave and other spots later on

@leumas698 Ай бұрын

I have this game myself, so I can answer this. When you first start off, there is nothing that carries between rounds, so there’s no reason to save your resources. Later on, you get a character that keeps a portion of your gold between maps, and a talent that gives you gems for every 50 gold you have left at the end of the map. Tyler completely neglected to show off either of these systems, which disappoints me greatly.

@xaviersavard6343 Ай бұрын

2:42 range actually does matter imo: a troop with more range allows it to attack earlier and later and be more reliable, thus increasing overall dps. That is why troops like tack shooters or snipers in btd 6 are balance, or why the shared vision for its subs is so good. It's not the end all be all, but I've never seen anyone claim that. Its just good to have

@lowkey_Ioki Ай бұрын

He said this in the video. Range is good if you can attack far earlier, but so long as your tower is attacking range is worthless. Though in this game specifically range is used to counter things such as the AoE stun because you get to spread your towers out more.

@OmikronTitan Ай бұрын

Pretty sure his point was that as long as the tower is attacking and doing damage, increasing its range isn't going to help. It's already doing damage.

@VJK102 Ай бұрын

Range its specially good for debuff towers, that affect the wole area they in (usually slowdown towers)

@oli201 Ай бұрын

it depends on the length of the rounds and enemy spacing. If the only point where you actually get to use the longer range is at the start and end of the round then it's not really adding much.

@KuroroSama42 Ай бұрын

2:40 How good range is depends on 3 factors: 1. path length coverage; 2. number of segments reached; and 3. overlapping coverage. Detailed explanation on that: If your range increase doubles how much path you can see, then it's almost like doubling the attack speed. Especially against "single huge unit" waves. Being able to shoot for twice the travel time means twice the shots, same as 2x fire rate. If you're reaching a new segment of path, then you can fire at targets much sooner and keep firing as the wave goes by. Then when they reach the 2nd segment of coverage, the tower goes back to hitting the front-runner again. And for 3: extra range means your damage towers can make more use of the slow-down towers - or any other debuff. And just checking at 4:00 That slowdown tower now reaching before the cannons means it can apply its debuff for the cannons to use. That's huge.

@raisins7777 Ай бұрын

But isolated giant monster waves are not the norm. Once you cover a path longer than the space between enemies, further range is marginal. Slowing or stunning enemies is effectively granting other towers more range (except that it also compresses waves, so it makes AOE damage slightly stronger). Mostly, the towers and upgrades we saw in this video are relatively cheap and independent, which would mean individual tower dps per gold dominates all strategy. Towers that increase DPS for other nearby towers--or other similar positional effects--is what really mixes things up in games like this, by making specific areas of the map much more valuable. Maybe they just didn't appear this run?

Would it? I feel like air enemies in mazing tower defenses don’t add that much to strategies.

@saltyowl3229 Ай бұрын

Upgrade 1: +20 damage Upgrade 2: +25 to percent damage limit, inflicts poison that becomes AOE damage when subject dies, multiplying initial value of damage One is a flat increase and the other is a percentage+multiplicative increase. Upgrade 1 is almost exclusively better for enemies that are too spread out for AOE to work (rare), and with < 200 health (already get deleted by canons). Slowing enemies is an equivalent upgrade to increasing attack range, so as long as it’s backed by fire damage, poison chomper will be significantly better damage

Ok Aliensrock, Have you played Rouge Tower? I haven't played balloons, but watched it. So I could be wrong, but the depth of this tower defense game seems to be far greater than balloons. And after you finally beat the normal it can get more challenging in the way you want. More ways to enter your base; Also more ways ever turn (can be a bit much). Buffs to you and your enemy. Last, April fools which i will let you find out. Give it a try if you haven't its a great tower defense game.
