Check out Attack of the Creeps. http://www.galagogames.com/game/6/Attack_of_the_Creeps It’s a downloadable tower defence game that is loads of fun.

I’ve only played the original Gemcraft, and while there are some parallels the game plays completely differently. The main difference here is that you start with no elements and slowly add them to your tech tree. Also, pure element towers don’t have special abilities, and mixing them gives a much wider variety of specials than in Gemcraft.

@amishmonster Sprout TD has the most convoluted tech tree I’ve ever seen. Which towers do you think evade attack/armor types? There’s only one in the game that does 100% to everything, and getting to it can be tough.

This sounds a lot like Gemcraft, am I wrong? I realise there are differences, but I get the feeling there are many parallels.

@Korgan
yes it does. the only thing you miss out is the competetiveness of finishing a wave first and flooding the other players with new waves of creeps and singleplayer does not support Super Weapons mode. Else it’s the same in singleplayer as multiplayer.

@ascagnel Supreme Commander kept the turtle alive, even had AI designed around the strategy. Still easy to crack them tho.

And bnet 2.0 doesn’t link WoW accounts for anyone outside of the US right now.

Hmm, does it have singleplayer capacity?

Element TD has probably the most obscenely complicated upgrade tree I’ve ever seen in a game, but at the same time it seemed like one of the most “solvable” TDs out there. I got through 160+ Ronalds on my second game when I realized that there are two or three towers whose damage ratings obviate the whole element/vulnerability mechanic that should make it so much more interesting.

Still, good fun for those games!

Sounds exactly like the Flash TD game Gemcraft, on Kongregate.

Hunters v farmers!

There was a lot of creativity in all the Custom games section of Warcraft3. I hope when Wow starts to come to a close they open up a Wow custom games sever thingy it would be amazing.
