Hex TD addons in the shop?

[Johnydl]

no one's come up with the creeps for black white cyan or brown so i thought i'd take the tower and invent similar creeps. what do you think?

black creeps: have increased sheilding when near other (stronger) creeps 1% per creep in radius
white creeps: give shilding boost to other (weaker) creaps (50/number of elegable creeps)% for each elegable creep in radius (so if there is 1 creep it gets 50% if there are 50 creeps they each get 1%)
this makes black and white towers especially bad when grouped and in swarms but they do not effect creeps that have equal hp (1 hit killing/target strongest no lock)
cyan creeps: don't move but teleport one hex at a time (so can jump past cyan barriers) but if they land in a barrier (so creep is in the middle of a hex and the barrier goes throgh the middle of a hex) the barrier cuts their hp by 20% of their maximum and the barrier vanishes (providing the creep doesnt die)
brown creeps: get a random extra strength without it's assosciated weakness (can cancel it's own weakness or double it's own strength)
giving cyan the ability to open up the road for other creeps and brown added difficulty of not knowing it's extra srtength

as with the rest of the colours same vs same is powerful opposite vs opposite is weak

That's what Masamune said, I think you didn't understand it.

New tower idea

Teal towers create data images of randomly selected towers that follow and attack creeps. The data images created using these towers' effects have 33% attack/effect strength and 50% range, and disappear at the end of each wave. Upgrades for Teal towers also apply to the data images.
Teal 1 - create three data images of rank 1 towers
Teal 2 - create three data images of rank 2 towers
Teal 3 - create three data images of rank 3 towers

That tower can quickly become overpowered on large maps. A lime limit for those towers it spawns would be better.

Healing towers - same type as healthy helixes helps the owners creeps (assult mode/multiplayer only)
level 1 - increase the HP by an amount
level 2 - increase the HP by a factor
level 3 - increase the HP instantly to 80% OR a scale factor if 75% or over

grey towers - (based on HG) has the same attack no matter the creep
level 1 - low attack - mid range
level 2 - mid range attack - good range
level 3 - high level attack - long range

quick towers - (based on fast forward) attacks several different creeps at the same time with the same power rate 1000Hz+
level 1 - attack 1 hp per Hz per level0
level 2 - attack 10 hp per Hz per level
level 3 - attack 100 hp per Hz per level

pep tower - (based on pep) slices the top creep(s) left on the map HP (depending on level), any creep may only be hit by this type of tower once
level 1 - 1/4 current HP lost (1 creep per level)
level 2 - 1/2 current HP lost (3 creeps per level)
level 3 - 1/2 max HP lost (5 creeps per level)

gattling turret - (bassed on sprinting salmon) shoots very quickly for a second or two then doesn't shoot for several seconds (or longer if nothing in range)
level 1 - low dammage, 11 seconds
level 2 - mid dammage, 8 seconds
level 3 - high dammage, 5 seconds

adaptive gun - (based on prp) shoots the weakness of the creep (with its effect)
level 1 - very low dammage
level 2 - mid low dammage
level 3 - good dammage

i don't know what pairing's these should have, i'm tempted to say gattling with either adaptive or pep tower and have the others stand allone (like their associated creep)

thoughts

[Masamune]

I like your tower suggestions Johnydl. I'm guessing healing towers would be pink in colour, grey towers would be just that, quick towers would be the same colour as the Fast Forwards, pep towers could be crimson, gatling towers could be a sort of gunmetal colour, and adaptive towers may be a sort of "omni" colour (using all the colours in the rainbow).

[Johnydl]

I hadn't though about colours but I assumed that they would be similar to the creep they represent but your choice seems adiquite ^_^ i'm not to fussed

as for additions to what creeps could be bought from the shop:

a sandbox/survival mode where there is a set increase in hp (eg. x1.1 for sandbox, x1.5 for survival) and a cycle through all creeps for a given hp, and unlimited cash point scored on a basis of 1 point per creep in level 1, 2 points per in level 2, etc.. and unlimited levels

an extream mode where creeps HP's are doubled and intrest is halved for a given map and at the end points are doubled

Well it has been a while now since I created this topic, and there are some great tower and creep ideas and suggestions for Hex TD. Perhaps there could now be time for consideration as to which ideas and suggestions for Hex TD should be coded into the game, if The Noid is ready to do so once other things concerning the game have been dealt with.

All the while, we could also come up with more ideas for towers and creeps and discuss balancing issues with the ideas we already have, so this thread is still open for more active discussions and sharing of ideas.

Well, we cant just add more and more towers suggestions. We got to wait and see what Noid think about those which was already suggested. And see I mean if he is really doing to add them

Indeed. I think now will be a good time then, to concentrate on fleshing out existing tower and creep ideas, as well as discussing balance issues that may arise.
