[Beta 4] I continue my Trickery Tower Tests

[Guest 1mpulse]

first off , this bug originated from trickery being able to make copies of the Periodic Tower of the Elements

now, i had randomed all elements, built a periodic and began microing trickery towers cause they pawn end game when you can mass them.

now i made eight images of periodic, pawned everything, but then i noticed creeps were running BACK and staying in the spawn area. then i noticed that one of the periodic towers images was in the MIDDLE of the CREEP path. blocking their way. replay coming later.

i was playing on easy i think, sue me im not that good on this new version. and ignore my playing plskthx

this bug is fixed by not allowing images of periodic and the trickery tower would work out a lot better if the tower itself became the replicate then reverted when time was up.

Interesting idea. But what about one replicating tower creating multiple images? How can a maxed trickery (lv3) be better than a lv1 then?

but you see, i never upgrade trickeries anyway, cause at end game when i actually use them , i can mass and create enough images with two groups.

the upgrading of a trickery tower is a tough one, but images are usually weaker in a game, so turning trickery into a more late game tower by making level one make an image that has 60% damage, with the final one actually doing full damage and being an EXACT replicate. most images i make are of my stronger three elements or level three duals.

another idea i had floating in my mind, not sure how easy it is to implement is to only allow replications on towers of equal value.

so a lvl 1 trickery can only image a level one dual,

lvl 2 can replicate a level two dual or a level one triple and

lvl 3 a level three dual or level 2 triple

with this idea though, the original trickery tower should be kept instead of becoming the image.

i also forgot to add, if you watch the replay and look at the two ice towers (the ones that slow to min and then double damage when ice breaks?) you will notice the tower model came out in two different sizes. dont know why

I thought the whole point of the tower was that it WAS replaced temporarily.

The benefit of upgrading can either be increased duration OR allowing for higher level copying. Since It could be as simple as a HP check. LV1 can only copy towers with HP less than 1500, LV2 towers with HP less than 4000, something to that effect.
