DroneBuster - Survival Tower Defense
Work in Progress - Try to survive an onslaught of 50 waves of enemies, including boss fights and escorts. Players have the ability to build towers to defend their base, minerals, and call-in air support and base guardians.
OK...I got to level 51, the...uh...interceptor level, and I'm not sure how that's possible to beat. I had soooo many ghosts ( was over a million minerals soon before the last round...funny to see my mineral count end in "...") but those interceptors just chewed everything up. (There wasn't anything actually launching the interceptors, right?) And they just kept coming; there wasn't anything returning minerals that I could see. Of course, it's really really hard to see anything with all those nukes going off. Also, I got an error at the end of the game for more than 512 concurrent sounds or something like that.
I used a method rather like that other guy, except I was using phoenixes on the brood lord level right before that (with the invisible whatzits) with no detectors on the map, so the phoenixes only saw the brood lords. I had my computer sitting there killing brood lords by themselves for 7 hours and only got to 150,000 minerals. It's only when I built something to shoot broodlings at that I really got a lot of minerals quickly; the broodlings seem to be worth more. So I got up to 200k and made two ghosts, one at the top and one down below. Then late in the game when some rounds starting getting through I made more ghosts. I also made like 16 Ravens which helped a lot on later levels. But anyway a lot of my ghosts died toward the end (though I wonder if the Raven's splash damage killed them, and that interceptor level was insane.
is there a reason some enemies take 10% dmg? its lookin rather unbeatable to me, maybe im bad, maybe my towers doing 10% dmg is holding me back!
gratz dude. It's still pretty basic right now (Beta), still needs lots of work.
Beat all the waves by myself.
After wave 16, sell everything you have. After all the birds run by, build a bunch of vikings right up in the front and put them in air mode.
Kill broodlords until you have about 100k cash.
Then build a missile turret about midway on the map, or wherever. Kills all the birds and the next few waves while you collect a shit ton of interest. (Sell the vikings, of course.)
You're going to need a TON of ghosts. So only build them as you need them because you need to collect interest! At the end I think I had about 20 ghosts behind the mineral line, and 20 ghosts in the middle of the map. With a few missile turrets as well.
This map has a lot of promise, I like the idea of subtly manipulating the direction of the waves with buildings. But right now it's pretty crappy.
I'll try to update this after my 2 weeks vacation :p
Bug is when the tank is in Siege Mode, i will try to fix this. For the meantime, go to tank mode before selling.
As for the difficulty, I will implement a difficulty setting - Beginner and Hard :p
Upgrades are coming soon.
Your cash gets an interest of 10% after each round so you have to save.
Friendly-Fire is OFF.
first time playing map... stalker and pheonix towers sucks. tank dominate...so far - got to round 20. tower life is too low. splash dmg from other towers might kill towers. ultras are wtf hard. atk towers that have low hp to begin with. hot key for turrets and tank are the same.
Found a bug. Shared gold with player A. Player A sold his tanks and didnt get any gold back. Money doesnt refund after selling towers at lvl 21.
More mineral for kills too.
I made it to lvl 31, however this is way too hard. I think it would be nice if we can upgrade our towers. Another possible change is making the hostile units weaker because they are way too strong and fast.
I'll send u an apple pie for that :p
OMG lvl 20 insanity
I need like a bonus for living through 19
ROFLMAO
update1WOOT made it to L29!!! (added an AI to get more units via more kills)
3 seconds later...
HEEELLLLLLLLLPPPP!!!!!
ROFLULTRALISKGENOCIDE
new version 0.9 BETA is out in Battle.net US
We just had a good vibe I guess. It was his first time playing this one too. He had 5 siege tanks i had 3 and 4 hydralisks and plenty of Marauders to slow everything down.. Then once the marines and ultralisks came i just put down some cheap turrets in the front to preoccupy them as they got rained on by siege tanks... I thought those were ruthless.. but damn those Dark Templar
lolz what did u do?
Well me and this one guy just got to 25, so it's possible :)
I guess, but Ultralisks go through everything like hot knife through butter :) Especially when theres like 50 of them cause you didn't kill that many drones
Looking for publishers for SEA and EU servers to publish Dronebuster and keep it updated.
one strategy u can employ is use the photon cannons as barriers for your tanks, i might also add supply depots as a barrier type / sandbag costing only 10 minerals :p
wait for the air support, I'll add that soon so you can buy battlecruisers, banshees, etc on the starport
replacement for those two statues are coming, they are just placeholders for the moment. :p maybe factory for the other one where you can buy mobile thors
It's just 19 and 20 ... like we can get up to there without letting a single drone get back, or atleast a couple at most.. but then 19 comes along with those heavy drones and with everything out there we still only kill like 10 of them before they head back.. lol then the marines come, but we can deal with that.. but the ultralisks hurt so bad lol.. I don't know if that uh $6000 tower.. forgot what it was. protoss thing.. I dont know if that thing would help greatly, I haven't seen anyone get that much to use it, so I don't know its potential. Sure i had enough to get it probably with the 8 siegetanks.. but.. i had to use em on the marines lol.. its quite the challenge right now, so if anyone gets pass 20 they're like godly. Although I can think of one way it might be possible..
More cash might help though..
