Too slow, what do purple mages do? Does poison stack? What's the splash range of red mages? Why does 95% slow not slow them by 95%? So many questions that have no apparent answers

Road Scholar Badge needs to be changed to hard for endurance...seriously a bit ridiculous sitting here attempting the fifth "easy" level for about the eighth time, not even worth it this BoTD has been skipped

Not sure if this will work but, Map 5(Easy Marathon): cost reduction on dexer,fire mage,cold mage,energy mage, basically get 2 dexers then, 2 energy mages then, 2 fire mages then, 2 cold mages. have fun with your badge.(If it works, not sure on the element of the boss...)

(First of all, let me fix something from my first tips, instead of archer and persuader1, get reduce dexer cost, reduce poison mage cost and reduce fire mage cost) Map 4: Start with 3 dexers, SAVE UP, just before the bat wave get 3 poison mages, on wave 6 save up, then get 3 fire mages before the rat wave. After that just upgrade, and place random units if you have alot of spare money =D. You should end with 25 or more lives remaining. Map 5(The Easy Marathon, which happens to be quite hard): I'll put it up in the next post.

for a badge of the day, this was quite tedious. to get a balanced map composition you need the 'back' of your map to level early (protip, get hte +xp skills asap) and with no FF button, this just elongates the process. I did work/facebook/post this comment in between waves it was so non-engaging.

Guide for the light house (+) to share.
You want cold the cold path. I went 3 down the cold path but 2 cold plus exceptional teacher could work also.
1) Start at the very last tiles, place two cold mages kill the first wave and upgrade them if possible (always generalist).
2) Two more cold mages on the nearest two tiles. (IMPORTANT: don’t upgrade the mages that see the enemies first until the back pair are level three or close)

I used to play this game many years ago, probably around the time when it was new. Thank you, Kongregate BOTD, for bringing back this brilliant nostalgia.

Going by a comment from 2012, less than 2000 people got the hard badge in the last two years. Probably says something about the game...

The stage took so long that my laptop went to sleep before I could finish. The flash crashed and I had to start over again.
This game is missing a lot of essential tower defense basics such as FAST forward, SELLING units (or at least DELETE), or maybe even a SAVE in the middle of a level so I don't have to spend a consecutive hour (or 2) playing one stage.

This medium is the only one i need to complete the Best of 2008 quest. I have completed all the other quests... but still i'm posponing this game...

3) On the next tiles on the way back to the start (the corners) place 2 dexters. An in the block in the middle place 1 cold mage and over the next few rounds place two more as required. (IMPORTANT: Don’t just fill the map from here, you have to try and balance the front so some leak to the back but with low enough health so the back guys can kill them)
4) Wait till your back 4 mages are level 4 or very close (Upgraded 3 times the last costing 50g) form here fill the middle with more generalist cold mages and put 2 purple mages on the blocks before the center section (UPGRADE THESE SPECILIST) and upgrade them as soon as you can.
5) At the very start place 2 cold mages (SPECILIST) and upgrade them as soon as possible
6) Congrats you have now filled all tiles.

One of the most boring, tedious, nerve racking TD game ever made. Only did this for the bonus points and for Kongpanion. Huge lag issues, no fast forward, ongoing waves even at early stages, same lame character icons for minions even with bosses and upgraded units, unit seem to be lame even as they are leveled. Waste 3 hours just to get through the basic stages. Such a worthless game. Don't waste your day on this. So many better TD game on the site that will keep you sane.

Mages don't glow anymore and you cant reset skill points, because these features are only available on Kongregate. And since Flash was removed from most browsers, the game can no longer check if you are playing on Kong. The missing wave preview bar seems to be a display error, because sometimes my game glitches and the bar can be seen for a second. I only hope we can get this game fixed one day.

While a decent game, it has more then enough flaws to make even the most hardcore gamers refuse to touch it. The most noticeable of these flaws, as I am sure you have all noticed, is the speed of the overall game. Simply to complete the tutorial takes a person 5-10 minutes assuming they have never played the game before, and are actually paying attention. But it does not stop at the tutorial, some of the enemy units take such a long time to walk that it takes a player over ten minutes to complete a map, or more. And keep in mind I have only made it to the second level by the time I am writing this. The lack of a "Fast forward" button is indeed a crippling flaw for a game that would otherwise be incredible. While retaining decent graphics and sound, the overall speed, the ridiculous speed of the units, and the lack of a fast forward button makes this game sit snugly at 3 out of 5 stars...

Yeah, I don't care HOW adorable that Jellyfish is. I'm getting that thing tomorrow because the game today is as painful as barbarian torture techniques

What happened?! When I first played this game a long time ago it was awesome, now it lags on every kill. Is the game sending information SYNCHRONOUSLY to Kong API on EACH KILL instead of storing data locally and sending it asynchronously at the end of each level?

Why are so many enemies weak to fire? Why is the Chiv Dexer called Paladin in the protectopedia? Why does Ridley randomly appear as the background behind levels? Too big to place in the game?

Every time I come back to Protector, I am stumped trying to figure out why they took out fast forward and wave previews. Before, it was an unforgiving, slow-paced planning challenge that tested your wits. Now, you play 10 minutes blindly picking elements, hoping the final waves aren't going to heal off your best mages. They don't expect us to sit through 40 glacial waves writing down the elements for a second run, do they? It's like playing rock-paper-scissors with one move per minute. What's the point?

Why is it that every time I kill an enemy the game suddenly freezes and then unfreezes repeatedly? Every single monster.

i'm getting lagspikes with every kill the units make, and also with placement and upgrading. Already turned music off and quality low. Anything to prevent these spikes, since it slows my game down 3-4x.

Why Kong,why?!
You made THIS the badge of the day, are you sadistic or something?
It is far too laggy and takes far too long to just get through one wave.

The documentation says that there is no option to buy back a unit because we should plan ahead and if we have the right strategy there should be no need to buy back a unit. If we do not know what is coming up, how can we possibly plan ahead??
