Why dont you put it in the replay forum.

[Cisz]

Ah, very nice. Let's see what we have here.

About the first replay (ELE TD---VH-TR-CM-EM.w3g):

I think you suffer from placement problems here. The towers closest to the entrance/exit don't have the time to fire properly on the second pass. Move your towers over to 8, 9 or 6, and see what happens.

And yes, those trees are dangerous.

About the second replay (ELE TD---normal-normal-tourny rndm-norm.w3g):

Maybe you shouldn't place short rage towers on long pass (7, 5, 1), build them at two-pass instead (9, 6, 3). Long range towers (dark for example) do better at 5, right in the middle. And disease is broken, don't use it. Oh, and well gives +25% to 4 towers for the cost of 500. So you need to boost 4 towers with a combined cost of 2000 to get that money to work. If you just boost 2 amped single element towers with it (225 gold each; so you gain 2 x 25% of 225 = 112.5 for the cost of 500), it's better to build amped towers only for the same money (for 500 you get two more amped dark, and not just 1/2).

About the third replay (ELE TD---hard-short-all pick-normal-nor.w3g):

Winning the map is much about damage/gold/second. The more a tower costs, the more you get for your gold. (For example: Amped nature has 3.37 dmg/gold/sec, and focused nature allready does 3.73 dmg/gold/sec.) So upgrading is better than massing. My tip here is: build less, but more expensive. Maybe try to build support triples early on. Corrosion, nova, muck, roots, all those do decent damage, help your other towers a lot, and stay usefull till the end.

Healers are dangerous if you don't kill them fast, so try to place your short range towers at 3 or even 4. It's not that you suck, they own.

About the fourth replay (ELE TD---all normal-all pick.w3g):

Aha, you start to sell and rebuild there, very good. Someone asked me: "When should I sell towers for interest?", and i replied "When you are bored and need something to do." And leaking for money does wonders.

By the way, blablabla towers on two pass (9, 6, 3). Oh, and it's probably better to upgrade the life towers first. I am to lazy to do the math right now, but you get more bang for your buck that way afaik. On wave 39 ("poison did help") your life towers did 200% damage. As i see it, poison didn't help. And it doesn't belong on long pass. Same goes for 43 (dune worms, earth healing); 200% dmg again.

And evil childs = healing = realy hard.

Did any of this make sense to you? Do you have questions? More replays? And why don't you build on two pass?

@WordsWorth - I see this as a request for help, and the strategy section ain't bad for that. But I can move it ofc.

[Guest Shadow_Fang]

this is somehting that took me all day to plan out, and i must say i didnt do too bad at all.

its all thnx to Cisz for the helpful advice^^

I have good and bad news for you:

You finished the map, congratulatons.

..but..

You played on very easy and you stalled for money. (Leaking for money could be considered cheesy or even cheating.. )

You won a victory today, but there is a new goal now:

Win the map without lifetower/leak abuse.

[Guest Shadow_Fang]

I admit that the gold thing was a bit of a cheap shot, but i did way better this time, even if it is still on easy i stilldid better. Every big show has to start small, and i do very easy and easy to get the hang of it, then I plan on skipping normal, and go to hard. After that should be chaos mode. but this is what i got for now

ELE TD---VE-no gold tactic-196 ronalds.w3g

[Cisz]

I think it's much better to post in the same thread each time, and not open a new topic for every replay. So please post here now.

Edit - And now I watched it.

See, it works.

Please build more slowing towers and plz start to build towers on two pass (3, 4, 6, 9) and not on long pass (7, 5, 1). I assume that if you don't do either of those, normal will prove near impossible for you.
