Novus Tower Defence

Description
Novus TD is a Tower Defence designed for multiplayer, but will work in singleplayer as well. Note that singleplayer only offers 2 modes while multiplayer offers an extra mode for cooperative play (coop mode is unstable and might crash when defeated). There must be 8 players when you start the game where player 8 must be computer. Player 2 to player 7 can be humans or computers, it doesn't matter.

How to play Tower Defence:
Use villagers to build towers to protect your lane. You get different amount of villagers and starting resources depending on the difficulty level you have chosen.
Use the Kings (for Kings Mode) or the Shopping Guy (For Normal Mode) to buy upgrades. Some upgrades increases your gold income, some increases your villagers working speed and others increases your towers attack.

Scenario immediately ends with a victory every time, unable to play it.

The trigger specifies that if a player owns 298 objects of class "Tower", the player can't buy any tower upgrades. If the player deletes towers until below that limit it should work again.

Are you sure its 290? It felt a lot less.
Bassefrom  [author] 4 Oct, 2019 @ 1:20am 
Yes, the game engine is unfortunately limited to how many buildings/units can be upgraded at once. If the limit is exceeded, the game will crash. To be safe, the AP shops doesn't work when you have 290+ towers in co-op. In single player mode, the lanes are designed to not exceed this limit, but in co-op, it'spossible to exceed that limit.

So we were playing this yesterday and the three of us had a plan to win co-op with three players. One player buys 4 extra builders and goes crazy building towers, the other players sling him wood/stone after getting coinage, banking and caravan, then go all out on getting gold themselves occasionally slinging it along with wood/stone to the player building towers. But when it came to mass buying AP, he had 30k gold and couldn't buy any of the AP upgrades. Perhaps theres a limit to how many towers a single player can have for the upgrades to work?

I was spanish, and yeah I had the get 1 caravan each "X" seconds.

Thank you!

Huns maximum number of trade carts is 150, maybe you were Huns? However, it seems like the automatically generated trade carts sometimes don't have an upper limit.

Just letting you know @bassefrom, that the 100 maximum caravans is broken, I had around 110 - 115 caravans.
Other than that I loved this TD. Goog job.

"Congratulations! You've won all the 14 levels!"

It took quite some time and optimization, but I finally did it. One important thing I had to learn was that you can't just consider how long it takes for something to pay for itself, but also the total income.
