Cisz Posted April 28, 2008 So pick is harder now, eh? Luckily I have an elderly replay from the training times for the double no leak, 44 ronnies: 1308 Eletd (4pb all vh) lwfn nl 44 ####.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post
Guest gahafa Posted April 29, 2008 Hmm, I couldn't find parts of short mode. But is that OK? I mean, after a while, short mode is a primary step. Without it, its kind of boring, so if it is ok to enter with short mode. Then accept me. Random chaos mode. 28 Ronaolds VHSRSMCM.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post

DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted May 2, 2008 VH SR CM 4.0 pb 2262+ RONALDS can't attach replay since it's 3 MB. the link is here: http://ddrkirby.googlepages.com/5-1-08-DDR...naldseleTD3.w3g Would have been much much more than 2262, but I had to alt+tab to check what my homework was and warcraft 3 CRASHED. luckily my friend was watching and managed to save the replay up to that point. Didn't even get ice age towers. Had more than 150k gold left over at end, couldn't find any way to spend it. End setup involved lots and lots of polar+voodoo, lots and lots of JINX (hehee, my favorite tower, better than hydro if you have the money), standard slow+debuff towers, and 2 periodics. Also there were eternal towers at - so that every so often I would actually gain a life or two. Enjoy. I would have liked to topple Cisz's old record of ~4000 ronalds but that was on ap normal anyways so I still feel accomplished. You can judge for yourself how many ronalds it would have stopped at if not for the unfortunate crash. I'm probably much better at random than pick, simply because my build speed is so fast... obviously, ronald needs to increase hp at more regular intervals, otherwise ronald hunting eats away hours and hours...xD Go to top Share this post Link to post
Guest Justkidz Posted May 17, 2008 This replays is on VHSR mode with only 43 ronalds kills.. My computer is suck at the end of level 60 T___T It is lagging and i can't use all of my money to build more and more tower ( 30k gold left).. mouse cursor can't move.. hiks Element TD4.0-VHSR 43ronaldkills.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post

DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted May 18, 2008 4 picks is really hard...almost all the builds don't have enough slowing to be effective. I'm not a huge fan of FLNW since I don't really like Tidal that much and I don't feel like impulse really synergizes that well with nova and windstorm. But I can see why it works. I've tried FLEW but without too much success... Go to top Share this post Link to post

Twilice Posted May 19, 2008 Yes that could be an option BUT PEOPLE please this is not the forum to discuss, it is already spammed ALOT. It will be 6 pages in no time with not much records. I think the old topic is still here, if not start a new one please. Go to top Share this post Link to post
DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted May 29, 2008 4.0pb VH AP normal, 4 element picks 255 ronalds hooray! Went standard FLNW, although ended up trying to take interest first. looks like it paid off, i had a lot of extra money at the end. end tower setup wasn't as well planned as it could have been. needed more supernova and especially more monsoon, and switch refined water placement with eternals. main mistake was leaking a lot on the way up to round 61 though. those shredders got me again =P It's surprising how much more difficult it was with one less pick at each point. 5-29-08 eletd(4pb vh ap)4ele255ronalds.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post

Cisz Posted May 31, 2008 Hi MiracleRuby, Welcome to the forums. You should check out the rules for replays, because you used a bad map folder, and now we all have to copy maps.. Go to top Share this post Link to post
DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted May 31, 2008 yes, it would help us all if you'd follow those guidelines if you post any more replays in the future (b^^)b also, 4.0pb VH AP CM 163 Ronalds not too bad. interestingly enough I did worse than I did with 4 element picks, even though I went into the ronald round with more lives IIRC (eternal towers were gaining lives throughout the latter part of the game). I guess my end tower setup wasn't exactly ideal. Either that or my networth wasn't high enough. Getting interest first really helped me when I did my 4-element build but here i can't really believe it's worth it to sacrifice lvl 2 duals. then again, when you think about it, maybe i didn't really make that effective use of having a 5th element. zealot and quaker are real nice for getting through the game, but on ronalds the effectiveness is not that great. I do gain enchantment, and polar/ice age, and hydro, which is good. but perhaps something like FLNWD would work better since you have muck and roots for slowing and voodoo can still give damage amp (and synergizes quite well with tidal). maybe i was just counting on the fact that blacksmith would really boost my main source of damage (pures) and hydro would serve as an alternative form of slowing. I needed more net worth so I could build more hydro, i guess. 5-31-08 eletd(4pb vh ap cm)5ele163ronal.w3g Go to top Share this post Link to post

Twilice Posted June 19, 2008 Disqualified, you must play at very hard to enter. And a warning, next time have the map at the right folder, place you eletd 4.0 in this folder: Maps\Download\(name of map) Instead of this folder:Maps\(name of map) And attach the file on this site, you can uppload it at this site instead of using a third party upploader.

jolin012 Posted June 19, 2008 with "Normal mode" I think hea meant that it's not chaos or extreme or shortmode chosen. at least on the screenshot the color seems to be red, for VH Edit: Nevermind what I said, he did use VeryEasy mode (after I checked the replay). I just didn't know that Ronald count numbers turned into the colour of the player rather thatn his difficulty. Go to top Share this post Link to post
