5/5, fantastic addition to the series. also, great job adding references throughout - it gives the game that much more character.

I just finished all storyline quests, and I found that mages are really good. Whereas you have to split your skill points when you use meele and ranged units, you only have to concentrate one skill(magic use) when you use mages. However, you will suffer shortage of heroes in the early and middle game

Having trouble? Remember, it's quantity, not quality so much that matters.
What works for me, is I buy one, and then only upgrade its damage. And then buy more units. Until I've got my quantity, then I choose my quality.
Hope this helps. ;)

Top quality game. Good luck on the $1500 prize for June, you definately deserve it (although The Enchanted Cave is an amazing game).
Observations: -melee units need to get buffed
-side quests border on impossible to complete (some of the storyline quests would be too except you can repeat them until you get a winning formula)
-the [absorb] ability seems bugged (ex. Lich boss on one of the storyline quests absorbs magical fire dmg, but takes dmg from crossbow fire elemental)

Once I gave up on melee units and only used champions with two ranged units did the game go from hard to really easy. Focus on two heroes with different elements. My trainee with no upgrades does 49 damage - that's enough so I don't have to worry if enemies' strength matches my element type or if they are strong ground units. Just have a backup element for the absorption guys.

Another minor complaint: since armor is flat damage reduction, armor penetration is a flat damage increase against units that have armor. But the units that can get armor penetration typically have high damage per hit already, meaning that the regular % damage increase skills increase damage more even against armored targets (and of course work on unarmored targets also) so that it's really only useful for filling prerequisites for more damage. On the other hand, units that have low damage and therefore most desperately need armor penetration can't get it, meaning that no matter how you build them they're nearly useless against anything with more than 4-5 armor.

my only problem is that there's a lot of guess work when it comes to choosing the right heroes for the job. After choosing a hero whose element corresponds to the recommended element, you only have 2 spots open. Many times I've had to end a mission just because the other two heroes I picked were the wrong element. In the old games, this didn't matter because you could put units of any element on the field. Perhaps next time you could give us either a way to change heroes in the middle of a battle or a way to learn more about what elements we'll be facing.

I think that there should be an item, talent, or unit skill to enable melee units to attack flying units, even at reduced damage is fine as long as they aren't useless. Please vote up if you agree :)

Haha, best quest ever: "World Dominator"
The villagers reported no signs of evil up to two days prior, when several of them turned into lumbering monstrosities!
Shame there were no Michael Jackson or Ronald McDonald zombies, though.

Great game! My only criticism at this point is the 'fire hero' button, which I interpreted as being a glitch, telling me that all my heroes were of fire element. Maybe changing it to 'disband hero' would be more clear. 5/5

The trouble with that is that it's very easy to get screwed on normal quests because you guessed wrong about what heroes to take.

Does it make me a bad person to wish there were reputation and maybe even gold penalties for losing? Just makes the game far too risk free, in my opinion.

This game seems to complicated. You have an rpg here, a tower defence there. It might just be me though. I'll give it a 4/5 :)

As a start i wanna say, i really love your games (:
Now I wanna say; You really got to do something about the leveling og units on a map. Right now, I can't spot who leveled after just a few rounds, since they all got the level up effect on them :/

@deepvoid - I guess I am a silly goose then. =P Will check it out should I come across it again.
But there seems to be bugs with consumable items pertaining to heroes and not yourself. The ones that allow you to learn a new skills work just fine, but the others end up as something undefined and stays that way even after you refresh. =X Lost some items I had in my inv and a hero with all his xp gone.

Never-ever wipe a hero's memory, not only you might lose several items to a bug but the hero will have far, far, far less skill points than before (especially if you have the construct which has +1 in every skill normally)

maybe it's just my character set up, but every single flying enemy in this game seems ridiculously overpowered! I can barely pass the second quest in the game because they all have flying waves!

There's a small glitch in your design that causes problems when running other flash applications in other tabs. When a map is finished, it stops all other flash applications (pandora etc) from running.

no idea what the skill tree is doing, please please please set it back to the old protectors or at least more mouse over text

Forgotten Cavern is by far the toughest storyline area to beat in relation to when you come across it, which is not far in. To beat the swarms of enemies, you will need quantity of units over quality, although you should have the money for some advanced units as well. Put a lot of fire units in the back of the map to deal with the many fire-weak enemies. Then later load up the entryways with energy units so you can kill the boss off quickly before he gets to your fire units which he will absorb. Hope that helps a little.

I honestly believe that this td ran its coures after the second one. No rating for me. Rehashes with a few new tweaks is not my idea of fun. Your on the 4th gen of a td. Not only that, but a fairly young one as well. Why don't you go outside the box and actually try something new? Its a decent game. I give it that. But so were the allll the others.

also some shortcuts might be nice, like space bar to accept on info and send next wave, so that i don't have to manually click the buttons each time
