This way at 1337 waves mana pool should be 144 million. Upgraded with quite a few MANA ORANGE gems the mana pool extends every 2 seconds.

However i do go from grade 12 to 25 on my tower gem as i have 2 much mana and i always remember the first few maps how badly i wanted more powerful gems. With what i said above sometimes my tower gem is grade 12 and my trap gem 19 and from here its auto piolet. So do around 30 if it helps the score which i don’t think it does. Any level gem is fine you get the same results. After 225 waves and if not monsters are getting past the traps go to sleep or go do something else. Press SHIFT + click the MANA EXTEND POOL so it AUTOMATCALLY extends everytime it fills.

Upgrade the trap gem first as it will from 1st wave to 1337th wave kill 90% of all monsters in traps. One tower is fine with the right setting to beat 1337 waves at around X6 to X30+ diffuclity settings with the premiunm version. Have a single gem with no amphliphiers first if nessessary. Do not have your gem to close to the beginning of the map so you lose out on mana. For speed, mana boost and damage which is not nessessary.Ģ) One tower with L/Y (LIME/YELLOW) gem is fine with 8 amphliphiers. Traps should be placed where u can have 6 Ampliphiers placed around the trap. So imagine the mana gain with 100 monsters having there life, mana drained for 3 seconds and more. Lime helps to stop up to 100 monsters with grade gem 22. So you have shocked monsters for 3 seconds and you are stealing mana all the time.

If this summer goes as planned, we will be very close to release, and if not, we’ll still be lots of steps closer.1) Traps should always be O/L/C (ORANGE/LIME/CRYAN). Our kids will have a summer break, so there will be a lot of family days to be spread through the summer (there are some GDC talks on YT about having kids and working as an indie dev, I’m a bit relieved I’m not the only one struggling with time management). But we all know that has to be taken with a pinch of brackets and question marks. At the moment, I have a nice layed out plan for this summer, 40 tasks for the next 12 weeks, including blogposts about the battle traits and the talisman. Some months ago I was pretty sure a June 2019 release would be possible, so I really should not talk about any release date until actually having at least a release candidate build. Wasps now also follow the mouse pointer, so they can be lead to where the action is.Īs we are slooowly getting closer to release, I plan to add more random battle screenshots to give more grip on the general look and feel of the game, until the trailer, and in the end, the game itself finally arrives. Gem wasps are one of my favorite features and I wanted to make them more powerful and not just a nice trick for the first few levels, so the Demolition skill (top right) makes wasps live longer, sting stronger, and have a higher attack range. To bring pylons into the game / have players give them a try, it got its own Pylons skill, while Seeker Sense (bottom right skill) is also a new one giving shadow core and monster kill XP bonuses. One of the new additions is the Orb of Presence skill, which gives banishment bonus, as well as those tiny orblets that can be stolen by the monsters (formerly that feature was a battle trait, but, unlike other traits, it made the game mostly easier while also providing an XP bonus, so it had to switch teams). Most of the skills must be familiar to GCCS veterans. I also made several, mostly successful attempts to make the game run more smoothly. Sorry for always being late – eventually it turned out that “in a month or so” can mean 3 months… at least there has been progress not only with the skill system, but new buildings and creatures were added too, or for example having a mere look at the list of in-game stats lead to changing a ton of things from saved games to achievements to the outcome panel.
