Burbenog TD v2.3 with tower upgrades

General Information about the Elements and How to Play Select a Governor. Each has the ability to commission four types of builders. When you elect a governor, the primary builder is always immediately summoned. Every subsequent builder requires a piece of lumber, which you obtain after every 5th level. Here is a list of the 10 elements and their primary functions: Human - Cheap towers that take very little time to build Magic - Offers various special abilities including Stun and Dispel Magic Fire - Has a focus on splash damage Ice - Slows enemies down with ice attacks Thunder - Has the longest range of all towers Poison - Primary abilities include Slow Poison and Disease Cloud, also focuses on Chaos damage Death - Has numerous special abilities such as Hex and negative auras Holy - Buildings are twice as resistant to attackers, gain bonuses against the Undead, and have special defensive abilities Earth - Very powerful against land units and has a focus on Siege damage Wind - Has the best anti-air towers and the fastest firing towers Heroes: Each element has one Hero that can be trained at its technology building. You can only get one Hero, but their skills can be very useful.

Commands: -sell - Sells all selected units for 50% of their cost. Governors, Technology buildings, Hybrid base structures, and Burbenog Outposts may not be sold. -give - Transfers money in amounts less than 100 to your allies. The correct usage is "-give xx yy". xx is the number of the player you are giving the money. yy is the amount of gold you wish to transfer. -cede - Transfers control of a tower or group of towers. The correct usage is "-cede xx." Towers that can't be sold can't be ceded either. xx is the number of the player to whom you are transfering your towers. -lumber - Use this to give one piece of lumber to an ally. The usage is identical to -cede, "-lumber xx". This is useful if you have more than one piece of lumber but don't want to give it all away. -off - This command is used to turn off the autocasting of the spells of certain towers, like the Firestorm Caster and the Quake Tower. This works like -sell in that only selected towers are affected. Also, this only affects towers that have spells that are automatically cast with a trigger (but not towers' special trigger effects like the Phase Disruptor) Use this if you would like to manually cast spells. -on - Use this command to turn back on any towers that were set to off. -tip - Disables/Enables the tips that appear every other level. There are 40 tips in all.

Master List of Secret Commands: -random - Randomly elects a governor. Only works at the start of a game. -smack - Smacks someone who is pissing you off. The syntax is "-smack xx", where xx is the number of the player you wish to smack. -night - Sets the time to midnight (0:00). -dusk - Sets the time to dusk (18:00). -day - Sets the time to dawn (6:00). -cycle - Initiates the natural day/night cycle (at 2x speed). A player may change the time of day only once every 20 minutes. -blood - Changes the outer rivers to flow with red blood instead of water. Type -water to change it back. -die villagers - Try this as an alternate ending after you win the game. -die infernals - Try this as an alternate ending after you lose the game. -paint - Alters the color of a selected creep. The syntax is "-paint xxx yyy zzz", with xxx representing the red value, yyy the green value, and zzz the blue value. Values range from 000 to 255. -psave - Saves a color combination for easy usage. The syntax is "-psave xxx yyy zzz #", with xxx, yyy, and zzz representing exactly what they represent in -paint, and the # (from 0 to 9) representing a slot to save the color combination. -p - Paints a creep using a color combo saved with -psave. The syntax is "-p#", with the # representing the slot from which to load the color combo. -commandsall - Allows this quest log entry to be viewed!

This section contains the equations for the Temple of Death and Phase Disruptor, in case you want to know how effective they really are down the road. There is also a small bit of information about the Gold Mine. Temple of Death Chance of Death = (45 - Level)% So at Level 20, it has a 25% chance of killing the target, and at Level 40, it has a 5% chance. Phase Disruptor If Level <= 20 Enemy's life reduced by 50% of its current life. If Level > 20 Enemy's life reduced by (90 - 2*Level)% So at Level 20, it reduces the target's life by 50%, and at Level 40, it reduces it by 10%. Gold Mine Bonus Gold = 2 * Level Net Profit* = 2 * (Sum of Levels from current to 39) - 500 LoP = Level of Purchase LoP Profit (after round 39) 36 -200 31 130 26 410 21 640 16 820 *Assumes that the Gold Mine will not be sold. Including round 40 and sell price, add 330 to the values in the table. You can still make a profit from a gold mine bought at level 36.

Notes on the Hybrid element: Hybrid base towers cannot be ceded nor sold. Selling upgraded Hybrid towers will only give you the gold for the cost of that tower normally, not the total amount you paid to build it. You do not have enough food to summon even one hero. Yes, this is intentional. All Hybrid base towers, including the Technology Structure, are made of very cheap materials and will easily crumble when attacked. The Hybridizer is necessary in order to construct cross-tech towers and is an upgrade to the Technology Structure. There's no reason to get an Intermediate or Advanced Tower until you have at least one of the technology structures. Even though you are allowed to construct them before you have one, you won't be able to upgrade them until you have the necessary technology. Don't use hotkeys for upgrading Hybrid towers because many of them overlap. All Transmuters morph at the same time, every 40 seconds, so it may take anywhere from 1 to 39 seconds after building one for it to become another tower. It is best to familiarize yourself with the elements and towers before trying Hybrid. Oftentimes it is better to revert your towers to their base form rather than to sell them. Not only do you retain the base tower, but also you receive more gold than if you sell it. This does, however, require you to research the Revert Tower at the Hybridizer. Use the -revert command or Rever button to revert towers. Revert also works on Technology structures except the Hybridizer.

Notes on the Hero element: There's no reason to construct a Paladins' Guild until you have at least 1 Hero. Altars cannot be ceded nor sold. Heroes will gain slightly more than twice as much experience as normal. This allows you to get higher level Heroes much earlier in the game. Hero's main form of True Sight is the Gem of True Seeing sold at the Paladins' Guild. Also, the Keeper of the Grove and Priestess of the Sky have abilities that enable them to see invisible units. The Morale Booster can only cast spells on nearby Heroes when it is attacking enemies. Corpses for the Death Knight's Raise Dead are generated at the Altar of Destruction. Be careful with Death and Decay as it may kill your Heroes!

The 2.27 expert difficulty hall of fame is so large that it must be split into two quests. Congratulations! Here are the more recent victors: Adune, Nasren, BlueNewbie, Lord_Spam (7/13/04) Zilla, Samara[LoN], LoserCraft, Her. (7/14/04) HK_47, Milkman, Dumpling_king, Madd. (7/15/04) DurinIV, ElderBrE, HamsterGoD, Millennium (8/2/04) Red_Shift, GardenCentre (8/7/04) Shaq, kevin_garnett, and others (8/12/04) NVP-Kibiz0r, Magi_Charger, The_Quebeker (8/23/04) Think you should be included in this list but aren't? Several entries had to be disqualified for one reason or another. Playing an unofficial version such as "high bounty", not answering follow-up e-mails, the usage of exploits caused by patch bugs (such as Stinko Man's Acid Vomit perma-stun), and insufficient evidence that victory was achieved fairly all can disqualify an entry. There's also the possibility that I lost an entry or it never made it to my inbox. In those cases, I am sorry. This will be my last update to the hall of fame. Thanks everyone for participating :)

Editor's Version This version is unlocked so that you can see the triggers and edit the map. I have also added comments to many of the triggers so that you can better understand them. One thing you may want to do is put Hero and Hybrid back into the map, and this I have made very easy to do. Simply open the Object Editor, look for Human - Melee - Structures - Governor Chooser. Then, go all the way down to "Techtree - Upgrades to". Add Lisk and Uther to this list (They can be found in Human - Custom). The rest is taken care of already. All triggers for these races are in place. Please note that there are 2 secrets that I removed from v2.32. The reason for this should be obvious... they are secrets! Of course I have left all of the secret commands from v2.27 and previous available. Feel free to add your own secret commands :)

Version 2.32 (7/11/05) This will likely be my last version of Burbenog TD. Thank you everyone for the support, comments, suggestions, and e-mails over the past 2+ years. They really meant a lot! General Changes: Removed Hero and Hybrid governors. They are nearly impossible to balance with the rest of the map. You are now limited to 1 builder of each type. This is so you don't accidentally waste a lumber. Slightly modified the victory and defeat endings. Fixed the shadows of many towers to somewhat more accurately reflect the size and shape of the towers. Added a new secret found by completing expert difficulty... Balance Chances: Aerial Shackler damage doubled and mana regeneration fixed. Some expert difficulty creeps life increased. Ancient of Lore damage increased. Several minor changes dealing with Heroes. Several minor other tower balance changes. See 2.3 and 2.31 logs for more changes. Bug Fixes: Fixed a pathing bug with the Winter Witch's Freezing Breath. Other minor fixes. (See 2.3 and 2.31 logs for more bug fixes.)

Version 2.31 (6/15/05) General Changes: Added a button on towers for ceding them. It opens up a submenu from which you can choose what player to transfer towers to. Towers and Heroes now have range and attack type information in their tooltips for easy reference. Towers with special triggered abilities (i.e. Phase Disruptor) now have passive abilities on them that show what abilities each tower has. You no longer need to unlock expert difficulty to vote for it. Changed the Ctrl+Click give increment to 1 to make it easier to exchange small amounts the standard way. Heroes are now invulnerable... until you lose ;) Added a couple of new secret commands... Bug Fixes: Fixed an exploit dealing with certain towers with special effects that occurred whenever they initiated an attack. Balance Changes: Archmage's ultimate changed to Negate Resistance, which removes spell immunity (permanently) from units in a target area. Axe Tower damage up slightly, speed up slightly. Enchanted Arrow Turret damage up slightly. Added some splash to the Sky Dominator's attack. Altar of Heavens cost reduced to 145 from 165. Quake Tower Slam effect radius increased slightly. Magic Dampener Dispel Magic area of effect increased. Various other small changes.

Version 2.3 (11/6/04) Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug caused by 1.17 that allowed frost attacks to affect units immune to magic. Fixed a bug caused by 1.17 that made Frost Armor permanently slow melee Heroes. Fixed a bug caused by 1.15 that made Stinko Man's Acid Vomit permanently stun its target. Fixed the bug that sometimes caused a flying attacking unit to remain invulnerable, ending in inevitable defeat. Now, any unit that remains invulnerable will be made vulnerable 20 seconds into a siege round. Fixed an issue with Celestial Winds that allowed units to get trapped in the water surrounding the edge of the map. Fixed an issue with the Frost Arrow Turret that caused it to not deal damage a large portion of the time. Fixed some minor tooltip errors.

Version 2.27 (2/21/04) General Changes: All levels, not just air ones, are now invulnerable for 3 seconds before starting to move. Added a secret difficulty level. It becomes accessible once you beat the game on hard difficulty. Added several additional secrets, as well. Sniper's Flak Shells replaced with Flash Grenade, which temporarily slows organic units and gives them a chance to miss. Bug Fixes: Stasis Tower now correctly has a 25% chance to stun on an attack. Balance Changes: Chilling Towers' bonus damage removed. Stasis Tower can now also stun air units. Priest of Quel'Thalas' Dispel Magic damage and radii reduced, and its cooldown is now constant at 8 seconds. Priest of Quel'Thalas' Spirit Form splash radii decreased to 25/50/75 from 50/150/250. Rotting Flesh's Slow Poison speed reduction is now a constant 50%/25% and its duration has been reduced slightly. Some Heroes' damage reduced. Some spells' mana cost increased. Slightly reduced the effectiveness of Blade Guardians, Disease Wagons, Arrow Turrets, Cannon Towers, SAM Batteries, Ballistae, Sheep Launchers, and Holy Hand Grenadiers. See previous update logs for more recent updates.

Version 2.23 (2/7/04) Improvements: Changed a couple of attack arts. Bug Fixes: Aerial Shackler can now target Goblin Zeppelins. Balance Changes: Enchanted Arrow Turret's Searing Arrows now cost 10 mana, up from 8. Arrow Turret, Thunder Cloud Creator, Firebomb Tower, Rock Hurler attack speed reduced. Cannon Tower, SAM Battery, Sheep Launcher, Poison Arrow Turret, Holy Hand Grenadier, Seal Cannon, Disease Wagon, Acid Spitter, Blade Guardian, Gale Blaster damage decreased slightly.

Version 1.2 (4/27/03) General Changes: Eliminated the second vote. There is now only the "full" version. I had numerous reason to enact this measure, and the vote wasn't all that necessary anyway. If you want it to end at level 20 or 30 instead, simply leave the game as if you have completed it. There will still be the same total time before Level 1 (60 seconds).

Version 1.0 (4/19/03) This map is now fully playable. Still, it is the first release, and there are bound to be some problems. Balancing needs to be done, definitely. If you come across any ideas or suggestions you may have (bugs too) email me at shvegait@hotmail.com I can't emphasize this enough... teamwork is essential!!

Several undocumented changes were made between 0.9 and 1.0. (Since the update log was completely wiped after the beta, there was no reason to add more beta changes.)

Beta Version 0.8 Added Siege levels. They are levels 19, 27, 34, and 37. Beware, they will attack your towers! One of your best defenses against Siege attackers is the Holy element, which can build towers resistant to enemy attackers. Also, any ability that slows attack rate or lowers damage can be very beneficial. In the case that they attack your Hero, abilities like Inner Fire, Frost Armor, etc. could find some use here. Still, the best way to deal with these enemies is just to kill them and kill them quickly. Sorry, there is no way to sell, cede, or repair damage buildings in the middle of a level. If a building survives to the end of a level and is a completed structure, it will be fully repaired and can then be sold/ceded. In the unlikely that all of your towers in an area will be wiped out, know that Siege attackers turn inward at their first opportunity; they do not travel to all players' starting locations. Keep this in mind when deciding where to build your towers. Also, towers built on elevated cliffs are immune to attackers, but need to have long range to be effective. Attackers will not go after very out of the way towers. Siege attackers only spawn in areas where a governor is alive. So if you start at teal and decide to build at blue, the attackers will still originate at teal and will turn inward before they get to blue's area. Sorry about the inconvenience if this situation ever comes up. I'll try to think of some way around it, but for now, that is how it is, so deal with it! Modified some hero abilities slightly. Fixed a glaring bug with Celestial Winds. Priest of Quel'Thalas' Spirit Form much faster and stronger now. SAM Battery damage increased. Crystal Shrine attack speed slightly increased.
