On one hand, I feel sorry for the ninjas. They turn visible again right in my center of traps and end up having 20 arrows/missles/charges going straight at them at once, which I've already prepared because of experience killing their dads, moms, uncles, cousins, and grandparents a few levels before. On the other hand, DON'T TOUCH MY GEMS!

If you efficiently play the game through without grinding for XP, you will end up with about 20-25% of the XP you need to max out the skills tree. That number should be closer to 65%.

Question. The Tower Fire Rate in the Orc's, The Range on the Undead, and Attack Damage on the Demon. Now Are those For only those Tower's? Meaning The Fire Rate only for the Orc towers, or is it for all 3 Tower type's?

all brilliant on character level 22 :P. Love to see abilities trees have different skills to master in the next version.

The best weapon against ninjas are burning temples. They do area damage and will hit invisible ninjas, they need to be triggered by another enemy though. At full level, they will even slow down ninjas.
Place two at the entrance and make sure they are the first to hit opponents.

YEAH! What they said about skill points. That's right Mr. Programmer, I'm talking to you! Nevertheless, I did enjoy the game.

what the hell! once towers lock on to an enemy they ignore everything else even the almost dead units carying gems or close to taking one?? wtf really

This suffers from the same problem as the previous one. Everything you work for in an entire level (such as clearing land, building towers, and upgrading towers) is negated because of the ninjas. Their cloak is perfectly timed to stay hidden until either right before it gets to the gems, or in the case of the bosses, right after they get it. This basically becomes a race as to how many meteor strikes you can get off before it reaches the gym (in order to get a brilliant). Maybe if there was a final skill to unlock after all of the other skills are maxed out that uncloaks the ninjas. Except for this one issue, this is an extremely solid game and very fun to play.

IriySoft : have you ckecked the dread lord achievcement since converting to HTML5? For me it only counts the last level I completed and since there is no level with 1K enemies I can not complete it.

I just completed lvl 15 on brilliant, and ive got some good advice for you all.
1) I used the two highgrounds to build two orc dens, upgraded, these can kill ninjas in one hit AND kill ninjas that are just about to enter your gem area.
2)On lvl 15, Your biggest problem is the ninja champion and the several ninjas you get before them on waves 34 to 40. My tactic, using fully upgarded meteors, you can launch 5 meteors, and do a total 2000 damage, killing the champion. However, you will need full mana for this. Any less, and you risk letting this guy touch your gem, he is a fast one. Again, however, the ninjas before the champion will tempt/force you to use the meteor spell before they touch your gems, but, if you followed 1), that shouldnt be a problem. Dont worry if you have something 450 mana, theres a chance the Den will hit crictical on the Champion, and you will need to only use 4 meteors. Vote up so people can see. :P

Quick guide to BOTD. Play the first level. Don't worry about how well you'll do. Keep playing until you get your first three skill points. Put at least one of these points in basic training. Play the first level again and put the Ice Tower on the gray extra-range spot. The tower should get enough experience where you can upgrade it to one of two towers. Choose the right tower that has the "FEAR" stat. If you're doing okay, then you should have the tower ready for the ninth wave. If you're having trouble, then put more points into Basic Training. You'll eventually have one of your enemies running the other way screaming, which is how you'll get the badge.

i've been wondering since the first game what the point of the return portal skill is. if it's only to still keep an "excellent" rating on a particular level then it seems very redundant. it seems like it would be more useful in giving you a "brilliant" rating on a level if at the end all your gems are in the cave.

Woo! Got brilliant defense! The trick is to be careful on the last level, cut wood sparingly, max out your mana regen/max mana and build a bunch of mana regen crypts then try to hit as many thieves as possible with your meteor. Remember to use SHIFT when casting!

The achievement 'Overlord' (mastering all skills) is just too hard to get.. You don't even need the half of all 120 skill points (60/120) to beat all the levels to brilliant.
Nice game series, though. I love Cursed Treasure Tower Defense Game!!

Actually, it's +29% thats missing for some reason; You get no increase on your 29th skillpoint in a tree, but the next one takes it from 28 to 30.

Mana Pool, Meteor Study and Meteor Mastery must be maxed if you want to stop the last Ninja champion for sure. Otherwise try your luck with Crypts.

IF you manage to take all skills, hard badge gets really really easy

@biglite351 this isn't even Cursed Treasure 2. It's Cursed Treasure level pack, an add-on to the the original game. But I agree, we do need a sequel. Cursed Treasure 2!!!

Return Portal would be way more useful if gems returned by the portal weren't counted as "touched". As is, I only dump 1 point into it and Scorching Treasure because they're both useless for getting Brilliants. Scorching is only useful to get Adoration and advance the Demon line, and 1 point of Return Portal helps mildly with just finishing. I'd probably put 5 into both if Return Portal would completely reset the gem's status.

I am truly evil... I mow down entire forests for pure profit, not at all caring about the consequences, and use it all to build cities of towers...

I HATE that there's nothing reliable to take down a fast ninja on certain maps before he gets the gems, short of meteor. For champion ninjas in most cases, you can't ever have enough mana to take him down with meteors alone. Couldn't we at least have something that would give chip damage to invisible enemies, or at least slow them down? This is a gross imbalance in an otherwise great game.

the only real challenge of this game are the ninja bosses. and for those you either 1) get lucky and get a fear or freeze proc Or 2) have enough mana to meteor the hell out of them

The moment where you're on the way ot completing level 15 on brilliant, and 1 ninja gets to barely touch a gem before being destroyed and you have to start all over
