Artifact TD v.1.23

Q: Why does my wave not spawn? A: In this TD, your Builder spawns your wave. Use the "Spawn"-Ability and the creeps will appear in the top left corner. Q: Is there a hotkey for Spawn!? A: Just press ESC to spawn the next wave. You can disable this function by typing -disable Q: I have 0 lifes or less. Why can i still play on? A: In Artifact-TD, you can not "die". But if you have less then 1 life, you will not earn any extra-money at the end of each wave. So "Play on" does only make sense if you can buy enough lives within the next few waves to get income again. Q: How do my Artifacts get Mana? A: Whenever an Artifact attacks, it gets 1 Mana. In addition to that, it gets the Mana of each unit it kills. Q: Why do my Artifacts not attack? A: The basic Artifacts do not have any attacks. You have to upgrade them first. But some Artifacts attack flying units only, which also may be a reason for a non-attacking Artifact. Q: What is "Score" for? A: Read the Quest Score to learn more about the Score System. Q: Where do you get all the cool models and Icons? A: Many Icons and the Loadscreen were made by Kirb (@Northrend), but I also download from HiveWorkshop a lot. Browse there and you will find many of the models I used. Credits to the Hive and all Members!

Commands for all players: -enable : enables ESC as Hotkey for Spawn! (default) -disable : disables ESC as Hotkey for Spawn! -air : will tell you that air is every 5th level -go / -spawn : will tell you to use your Builder's Spawn!-Spell to start the next wave -floatings off / -fo : Removes the floating-texts above the checkpoints -menu : Displays the Menu to you. You can choose to Remake, Leave or Play on. Number of Remakes is still limited to one. You can use this command only when no creeps are on the field. -zoom xxxx : Zooms the Camera In or out. Works for values between 100 and 4000. Other values set the camera to 3000. -range xxxx : Sets the last Button of the Range-Checker Dialog to xxxx. Works for values between 50 and 1500. -clear : Removes Range-Checker-Effects. Commands for Player Red: -kick (color) : kicks the player with the written color (for example: -kick blue to kick blue) Commands for all Admins: Abuse of Admin-Commands in Public Games is FORBIDDEN! If any admin uses Admincommands without giving a reason, please report to clevercat88@hotmail.com!

At the end of the game, there will be a Damage-Test.\nAfter the Damage-Test, you will revieve points depending on how much damage you dealt to the damage test.\nSave and load your Score to unlock special Artifacts!\n\nIf you have negative lives, you will get less points, however, you will always get at least 1 point!

I added this chapter as a kind of Introduction for new players.\n\nMaybe you wonder how it is possible that you only get 12 or 13 Score-Points in your first game and then you see Artifacts that cost like 2000 Score-Points.\n\nThe high amounts do not mean that you have to play this game hundreds of times to unlock them. The Score you get depends on the difficulty. After unlocking the first few Artifacts (at about 250 Score) and finding out a proper maze, you can try to beat "Hard" difficulty. You will get triple (!) Score on that! "Godlike" and "Aritfact Master" give even more Score, but you need to unlock stronger Artifacts to beat that difficulties.\n\nSo, do not give up that fast!

This list shows how many Points you need to unlock new features. (^Name^) means that the unlocked Artifact is an Upgrade for the Artifact "Name"! 25 Points - The basic elemental Techtree will be fully available 50 Points - "Darksteel Artifact" becomes available to your builder 100 Points - "Darksteel Ingot" (^Darksteel Artifact^) 250 Points - "Darksteel Forge" (^Darksteel Ingot^) 400 Points - "Darksteel Citadel" (^Darksteel Forge^) 600 Points - "Darksteel Chest" (^Darksteel Forge^) 850 Points - "Darksteel Brute" (^Darksteel Forge^) 1000 Points - "Darksteel Pit" (^Darksteel Forge^) 1150 Points - "Corrupted Citadel" (^Darksteel Citadel^) 1300 Points - "Dark Chest of Wonders" (^Darksteel Chest^) 1500 Points - "Darksteel Colossus" (^Darksteel Brute^) 2000 Points - "Necrogen Pool" (^Darksteel Pit^) 2500 Points - "Elemental Altar" becomes available to your builder 2850 Points - All your "Elemental Altars" gain the "Elemental Force"-Ability 3000 Points - "Earth-Portal" (^Elemental Altar^) 3000 Points - "Water-Portal" (^Elemental Altar^) 3000 Points - "Fire-Portal" (^Elemental Altar^) 3000 Points - "Sky-Portal" (^Elemental Altar^) 4000 Points - "Nerox' Waygate" (^Earth-Portal^) 4000 Points - "Portal to Atlantis" (^Water-Portal^) 4000 Points - "Rorix' Path" (^Fire-Portal^) 4000 Points - "Gate to the Aether" (^Sky-Portal^) 4500 Points - "Adapter Artifact" becomes available to your builder 5000 Points - "Random Masterful Artifact" (^Adapter Artifact^) 15000 Points - "Build Random Nephilim Artifact" becomes available to your builder
