Only the best TD game I've ever played. This should be the model for future TD games. I liked the idea of being able to build a castle, but eventually actually just made stand alone 2x2 towers with an open path to my garrison, that they never made it to. It also prevented the enemy from posting just out of range and shooting at my castle wall.
I'd like to see a longer storied mode, where the first battle was at the border and the last battle was defending your capital. The strength of the final army against you influenced by how well, or how poorly you defending the outlying keeps.
As for balance, yeah, units do become over powered soon. Necessary for the marathon round, but these unit bonuses could be adjusted to provide multiple difficulty levels.
Other than that, the development of some different defensive artillery and siege equipment.
And finally a random map generator for endless, every changing fun.

Nice concept, but units are not balanced -- no point in ever building cannon, game gets progressively less interesting as achievements make it even easier to win.

i think the game should let you build mobile units to fight as well as defense or just plain place troops on the ground atleast

it would be nice to have a way to upgrade or place a lot of structures and soldiers quickly, instead of plonking them down one by one

And if you have one of the repair cheeves you can get stuck in an infinite fight where you can't kill the last enemies and they can't kill you.

This game is great, I love building fortresses with lots of angles so you can maximize fire on the enemy.
I will say, playing as the British just isn't fair sometimes, Greenjackets make it so the enemy can't touch your walls. Maybe for Master of Fortresses II, make ranges similar for all factions, but give Greenjackets a chance for headshots (crits)?

early on prussion 3rd tier troops suck due to extremely low range and problems with the icon next to your gold not working well when the entire army is left.

Used to be good, now Too many glitches.....now unplayable. After 5-6 levels some enemies with limitless range show up and destroy everything

so many bugs, this was lucky to get a badge. technically, an elevated unit should never be out-ranged by those on ground level.

I realised the best basic stratagy is to not even build cannons...They are expensive and far less effective then a massive amount of greenjackets. Such a narrow firing arc and slow fire rate, the fact enemies get squashed like bugs just doesn't make up for it...

It would be nice if you could place soldiers on the blockhouse wall. Also like gota7poop said, playable soldiers and men to place in front of the walls. Also The playable guy could possibly send your screen to first person, WITH, HOWEVER, THE REQUIREMENT OF UNITY 3D WEBPLAYER. It should only be needed for this purpose, and not needed to play the game.

needs a playeble soldier and men to place in front of your wall. and you should get to pick your soldiers class but still love it.

I love the game and look forward to seeing a second. I think a second game could open up a world of possibilities. making user levels, cavalry, more effective cannons, less effective greenjackets, more nations, more maps, speed toggle, barricade upgrades and unit strategy like go for closest/farthest/fastest. the idea of the game is great though.

Also, on first level I start with 4.5k but on EVERY OTHER LEVEL I have 2.5k. Why is this? I have all the achievements for extra starting gold too.

the difference in the cannons is not in range but rather in attack speed, with a 4 point difference in between the culverin and grand cannon

Pros: Great game concept, the freeform fotress building is much more exciting than a typical tower defense.
Cons: Uninspired units that differ very little from each other, which causes the game to become very repetitive once you have laid out the general defense plans. Planning is fun, playing the levels is quite dull (lack of new options, just simple upgrades and repairs).
Overall 3/5 - it could've been great if it had more diverse options, though.
