This is a pretty cool map with a nice RPG element in it. It is not based on the usual “life system” meaning your towers can leak as much as you want. All creeps that pass the tower defense enter the town. Each player has a hero which they then have to use to kill the creeps. If all Hero’s have died then the game is over and the players have lost. If your hero dies he is revived after two turns. During these two turns you do not gain any resources. This basically means that when someone’s hero dies he is out of the game.

Map description:

The first few rounds are important because if you do not place your towers correctly you will get small leaks. Most of the times maxing out your cash on the cheapest tower will ensure a decent first wave. It is important to at least build one or two of the more expensive building because some waves are more resistant to certain towers. Upgrading one of your level one towers should be a priority, i would advice to upgrade a level one tower before constructing a level four tower.  It is hard to define a basic setup and it depends per race here are some of our setups::

Creep movement:
The creeps spawn at the red dots and move toward the blue-red dot. When the creeps pass the gate they are spawned inside the town at roughly the blue points. The first boss spawns exactly at the blue-red dot. As you can see 1 player could, in theory, cover all the waves but we fond that with three players the game is still pretty difficult.

Hints – Towers

• To play on something other then insane mode you need at least 6 players.
• If you play with three players you require a red + teal + purple. If you have a fourth player place him as a blue. All the other player can  just pick what they want.
• Air waves are horrible, most of the time they will bypass your tower defense in huge numbers. The best solution we found was the undead anti air tower costing 210wood. (i mean the second tower). The humans also have a decent air tower but its a “level 2″ tower.
• To unlock the “level 2″ towers (the towers on the second row of your builder) you need to build one of every top layer tower (“level 1 towers”) This will enable you to build 2 of the level 2 towers, you then have to upgrade these to unlock  the other two level 2 towers.
• Human archers are pretty good and cheap.. Upgrading one can be devastating for the enemy. Their splash units are also pretty good but we found the machine gunning dwarf to be a bit underpowered for the price.
• If you manage to stop all creeps in a wave you get a nice gold bonus.

Hints – Hero’s

• Picking the hero affects which type of builder you get. We found that Neo is the BEST hero. His area damage power blood moon(!update its not his blood moon its the skill on the left, the sword thing) skills are just lethal. It is very difficult to say which hero is the best tanker but some of the nagara (water) look like pretty slick tankers.
• The healing water fall is your best friend! Make sure to have full HP before you start attacking.
• There are a lot of items, first round you should spend every cent on extra HP no matter which hero you are. Demon (other admin) likes to buy 2x500xp.
• The best weapon seems to be the DemonSlayer with its +60dmg. You should also get a Killmaim and the shield offering +30armor. Depending on your main attribute the +20agility staff can also be a contestant for a itemslot.

• Strength = Health Points
• Agility = Damage
• Intelligence = more mana
