You know I am bored due to my many posts!! LOL

update:

I just got 9

I think it was beginners luck but I got a score of 12. Def. a fun little game!

nope, you did well. i had a huge breakthrough and just got 49

it gets absolutely insane. i'm actually tempted right now to load up starcraft and just play defense until all the resources are gone.

hmmmm

I got a 9 also...damn tough round!

62 man am i frigging bored...btw those water towers rock. hehe

39 here.

jay were you able to get the huge tower 3000g? i can't seem to save enough money to do it

btw, grats on your high score

didn't bother was too busy upgrading all the other crap...that probably would have helped though at the end...

I just installed Starcraft & Brood War.

Must....build.....towers.

btw, i hope i satisfy the system requirements:

Pentium 90 MHz or better processor.
16MB RAM
Windows 95 or later.
Keyboard and Mouse.
80 MB Hard Drive Space
DirectX 2.0

50! still can't get 62 hehe

For some odd reason I am not downloading the path...so i have these random balls just flying at me (okay that was a set up)...anyways i can not get past 15...lol

Well my high score is a 69, and no i didn't intentionally suicide or anything. For the record the Server's got delayed again until 10est, i think - depending on my memory of time zones.

Ok, i'm addicted...63!

Well, on my first try without knowing what the heck was going on, I got 64. I really expected more of you people. I've gotten up to 76, and later tonight I'll get even higher than that.

As for the flower tower, it's retarded. You get 9000 dmg at 150 range for 3000gp, but the next upgrade is 5000gp and it gets you to 15000 dmg, which doesn't seem worth it to me. Just so you know.

61 is the highest I have gotten so far. this is great way to kill some time

41 before i had to go to work...i think i could have gotten well passed that though...i'm going to play again when i get home...i forsee this game being very addicting =p

Well, I sucked it up big-time at first, but then I changed my strategy and hit 70. Now let's see if I can break it.

60, water and nature towers, although water towers seem better.

I think i need to work more on better tower placement.

I have run 2 games so far. Seems like placing the towers up front close to entry so they have the run the gauntlet of fire 2+ times works best.

I am wondering if the 1K+ upgrades would help on the range.

i'm so jealous. I haven't cracked 60 But on the plus side I pwnd the Zerg for a couple hours last night with all my bunkers and turrets felt great!

How's this for sad? Frustrated that I could never beat my top score of 70, I decided to do marginal benefit and cost-benefit analyses for each tower at each level of development. My results confirmed most of my initial feelings, but it also shed some new light that let me revise my strategy somewhat.

Here's the result:

This was taken just moments before I died at level 73. I couldn't quite upgrade the last tower, but all the other Nature towers are fully upgraded, and the water tower is upgraded to the second-to-last level.

While I'm pleased with my upgrade choices, I'd still like to experiment with tower placement. Does anyone have any useful ideas and strategies that have proven helpful to them?

68 on my first try.

... and I had NO idea what was going on for about 20 levels. Then I caught on.

77

Very good, young grasshopper. It was rather apparent to me after my first game that nature towers were the way to go. The range is really good at higher levels, 2nd only to fully upgraded water towers, and they cost less than 3000 to fully upgrade. Water towers get expensive for the last 2 upgrades and only do about 80% of the damage a fully upgraded nature tower does. The fire tower range is just too sucky to be very useful higher up. The air tower is a joke (don't worry, I found this out from experience, too). And, as I've said before, the cost of a flower tower is to great to make it good. 2 fully upgraded nature towers will do more damage at a cost of 6000ish than a once-upgraded flower tower at a cost of 18000, and the range sucks.

So now that we've decided what the towers are good for, where can you place them to be most effective? I'm still sitting at 77. I worked out how much harder the guys are at level 70 than level 1, and it's like 5 million times as tough. I have no idea how to get any higher than 77, but I'll keep trying. And as for earning more moolah for killing them earlier, I'm pretty sure that's not true, but I'm not positive.

And heck if I'm gonna let Gyst walk away with the Bored Geek of the Year award! Throw my name in, and until he gets past 77, I'm declaring myself the frontrunner!
