For instance, every AoE tower is useless. Maybe this is what the zones feature is for.

The problem was once you understand the basics maze to cut every second waypoint, spend all minerals on gem chance, dont upgrade towers until very late and keeping correct gems it feels like there is only one way to win. Hard requires a good maze and extreme requires a good maze, good towers and a little luck. Took a few tries to understand the best way to battle this map which i liked. Simply designed to give people an option to not build the same generic optimised maze every time? Great that it can be turned on or off but unsure whether turning it on gives you any advantage or an increase in difficulty. Not sure about the addition of the zones. I like that you cannot be carried by massing beginning/starter tower combines and you need the late game combines to beat the game. Increasing the gem chance was better every time. I tried the game with and without increasing the gem chance. It is strangely not OP to just stack the Lucky China Jade (3-4) though because if you do, you do almost no damage to the final damage test because you wasted so many rounds of gems on this tower. I dont think you should get a return from the Thor. Also, when you have the Jade even before level 30, it hits the Thor A LOT and gives quite a few minerals. I think i did lucky chance every level from 31-48. You can dump so much money into maxed lucky chance and still afford all upgrades on towers towards the end. No idea whether it is intended or not but it appears as though there is a slow speed stacking effect from the Yellow Sapphire/Silver and Uranium.īeen getting Lucky China Jade by about level 18 or 19 (very easy) in my build and the 1% chance mineral return pays massive dividends throughout the whole game. Also killing the Thor with my Red Facet and other air towers was very fun while it lasted but was too imbalanced.

Great update to the terrain and also a speedy fix on that annoying 'make-a-great-gem-and-your-waves-stop-spawning' bug. Loved GemTD in WC3, one of my favourite custom maps and have been waiting for it to make an SC2 appearance! My goal has been to defeat the Extreme damage test, which i have done and found it a fun challenge! It looks a little dead here so i just came to give some feedback. JademusSreg for helping me test at all hours of the night even though he claims to hate all TDs (hes even making one too! Who would have known?) This map is currently published on NA under the Tower Defense category Dustin for helping test and picking out some awesome models for the special towers (lives and waves, player stats, combos & paths, tower damage, tower kills)

5(!) different leaderboards to look at while your maze does its business 50 Waves of enemies each with its own separate model 32 Combination Gems, each with its own model and abilities 48 Basic Gems, 8 types of gems each with different abilities (6 quality levels each) The challenge is to survive the longest! Polish / Features Survival Mode, where all gems do half damage. Race Mode, where each player's spawns are independent, and it is a race to finish wave 50 in the shortest amount of time. Game ModesĬlassic Mode, where all players encounter each wave at the same time, and there are boss levels after waves 15, 30, and 50 The final gem will appear in place of the gem that used the "Special Combine" ability. When you build all the parts of a combination, whether by chance during the build phase, or by saving each part one at a time during seperate waves, they will show a special animation and you can initiate the combine using any of the parts. Special CombinationsĮvery basic gem can be combined with two or three other specific gems to create a powerful combination gem. The key is to maximize the amount of time your high-level combination gems spend attacking the enemies. Over time you can come up with your own methods of creating an effective maze. Start by building a spiral of gems around one of the waypoints, and replacing the mazing rocks close to the center to get more powerful gems near the center of the maze. Mazing is highly advised to do well in this game. Eventually you will even be able to build Perfect gems during the build phase! Mazing

By spending an increasing amount of minerals, you can increase this chance at your builder. The quality levels are: Chipped -> Flawed -> Normal -> Flawless -> Perfect -> Great Gem ChancesĪt the beginning of the game, every gem you build will be a Chipped gem. If you manage to build four of the same gems, you can combine them to get a gem two quality levels higher.

If you build two of the same gems in one round, you can combine them to get a gem one quality level higher than the component gems. Start by building 5 random gems near the track and picking a gem to keep for the round. In Gem TD, the towers you get are completely random.
