You are right, 16k is much in non-random. But in this mode you must not play towers at a slower position than 3, I think there is a strong long range tower at 5 a nice workaround.
No, but I am looking for a replay. I play more... composed. (I really like LEO )
I took T3 because holepercent sayed in the beginning higher is better. He is right, if nobody pick T1 (but someone T2 or nobody T2 but somebody T1) we'll all get T1 and T2.
I have to ask again: Why not? If nobody pick the two darkness left we won't get Darkness 3
