Update 0.725: Town Defense
Hi everyone,
This month I decided to add town defense in the game. I was telling myself not to do it so close to launch, but hey I just couldn't resist.
Prior to this update, if a wandering mob was chasing you, you could hide in a town and it would leave you alone.
But now, mobs can attack you while you're in a town that you own, and you will start a battle inside of said town. It will have walls, and if you have the corresponding blueprint, you can upgrade the walls to have a gate that blocks enemies. The gate can be opened or closed with a cooldown.
The gate can be upgraded with all sorts of stuff like poison attacks or giant spears, if you find the items which are rare. You can also upgrade it permanently with potions that gives it special abilities.
Also, walls reduce ranged damage when your units are inside them, according to the level of the walls.
In addition, I added the ability to build towers!
Arrow tower: Long range, decent amount of ammo.
Explosive tower: does splash damage, good for groups of enemies.
Flame tower: same, but more focused and powerful.
There are limited spots for towers, but they have unlimited levels. You will need the corresponding blueprints to build/upgrade them.
Finally, you can also build a moat: for now you fill it with mines that do damages to enemies.
Launch date will be announced soon, probably next month, so stay tuned.
The rest:
