That's not going to work on VH. there was a life/enchatment/nova build somewhere in build project.. ended with 200+ lives.. the build is slow but it can work..

Welcome back.. Game to come back to own the FDS once again? it's ongoing now..

tidal too.. well=increase firing speed and reaching lvl 10 douse. smith=more damage, no change to reaching lvl 10 douse. trickery=clone doesn't stay in play long enough to reach lvl 10 douse. zealot as well.. basically any tower with an ability that charges up based on attacks.. In the early game, if a tower can kill a creep in one shot, which support is more useful? well and trickery. well increases the firing speed, the wave can be cleared faster. trickery adds extra shots, clearing the wave faster. blacksmith does nothing, the extra damage is simply wasted as overkill in this situation..

Having auto-douse would allow some players who are not aware of the ability realise that the tower has that ability.. when they see the spell being cast.. although some may think the casting is random.. but hopefully they would get to reading the spell text.. we've seen players who build tidals and never knew the tower had that ability and never used it.. and dousing at the right time can make or break games.. magic towers cooldown and ability time is very short, so it isn't really wasted, it'll be ready so fast and there is probably 3-4 activations per wave.. tidal at most gives you a lvl10 douse and a lower level douse before the wave passes unless there is heavy slowing.. to charge up to the lvl 10 douse probably takes one wave.. so as above, auto douse lvl 10 but the option must be there to turn it off..

I agree with the rest of your post, but who needs interest? I can allways abuse life towers instead. Agreed.. you don't need interest to complete the game.. in random, interest is often the worst pick to random for most players (most would rather get an element.. even essence isn't as bad as interest for most).. life towers, gold towers,

It's a bug we know and is being fixed for 4.1 ..

the replay is a custom map for the game warcraft 3: the frozen throne.. you must have the game.. it's not a replay that you can watch without the game.. and you must have the same version as the replay and the exact map name in the exact folder.

first almost noleak replay submitted to draft host already..

barely made it.. no slow, no pure and no interest.. WNEF.. as usual, plenty of misplays and BAD interest sells! eletd_4.0_196_WNEF_61_.w3g

If you want the old healing, play in extreme mode.. all creeps are 1% healing..

Forum draft replays are supposed to be secret.. actually, that should be put into the rules text.. it's more like silent competition.. then at the end, you see how well you did.. and if you don't like the result, learn something from the draft and play the next draft.. every draft has something interesting/not really though of before or changes your impression of some towers..

well played.. gl on hitting your target...

It should be 6 for both.. edited. didn't check it when i copied it from beta FDS..

suppose this is doable with light, dark and maybe nature.. doubt the splash elements would make it..

You can PM me your replay or post it after the draft closes.. well.. you can just join the next draft..

Scoring and winning replay Replay with LOWEST score wins. Final score will the sum of each component below. Leaks (least to most) : 1,3,4,6 Time taken (fastest to slowest) : 1,3,4,6 Networth (highest to lowest) : 1,2,2,3 Ronalds killed (most to least) : 1,2,2,3 explaination: eg. for leaks, the replay with the fewest leaks will score one point. the 2nd lowest leaks will score 3 points and so on. therefore, replay with most leaks scores 6 points. in case of ties, all will receive the lower score. Time taken is until victory message appears. This excludes the ronald hunt. Best build design will have 2 points subtracted from the replay's total score. best build design will be picked by me. ( as per draft traditions where best build design is picked by host). This condition may not be used if there is a clear winner. All drafters have 168 hours from the time of this post to PM me your replays. Ensure your map has the correct filename (no underscores please) and is in the correct folder to avoid being DQed.

$$$NLFDDFLWWLED giving $x3 Dx3 Lx3 Wx2 Fx2 Nx1 Ex1 removal summary: duals: Well,Life,Blacksmith,Flame,Magic triples: Impulse,Drowning,Quaker,Tidal,Zealot,Corrosion,Voodoo.

UPDATE: Periodics are allowed..

Well played.. mushroom, well and hydro does work.. seems like 3-ele builds is the way to go now..

6-ele is allowed.. it was just an advise.. (edited to make it clearer) to ensure some possible variety and not every game ending the same using periodics...

there was a time where poison was the overpowered tower even against the weak wave.. in the pre 4pb series. play ice for builds without slow as ice has larger coverage. ice has a tendency to skip some creeps due to the path of the helix.. play poison for builds with slow where a smaller area is covered but the damage is equally spread out..

the picks now: $$$NLFDDFLWW 5-elements without earth.. @sancdar. thanks for the sheet.. would be very useful for all drafters..

In single player, towers such as gold and life are overpowered, where you can cover map-wide.. there was one life tower build even in (beta) build project in a competitive multiplayer game, you'll probably be rushed out if those are your permament damage towers.. it may be useful though as a one-of for leak catching/extra income.. they can be used against their strong waves to gain extra gold/life for selected wave..

Please indicate the version of wc3 you are using if you are not using the latest version, which is 1.23 now.. read the replay rules..

So the first dual is life towers.. which is removed from the pool...
