Universal 2112TD: Tower Defense Survival (By Refinery Games)

That would be awesome! We'd love to keep adding content for sure. We are still very early days and for the most part not that well known. We got a bit of media attention during the launch but there's still a long way to go

 

Also just working on a drone tutorial video at the moment which should be helpful for those in need! Will put that up once it's polished.

 

The first in the series of the 2112TD boot camp videos is up. Introducing the Tactical Drone Mastery guide!

 

Damnit just spotted some strange artifacts on the highlights... must be something to do with the compression youtube has applied. I'll leave it up for now and re-upload a fixed version in the morning. In the mean time I hope that helps anyone who needed some guidance using the drone

 

I've just re-uploaded the tutorial video which now highlights the controls correctly.

Going forward, I'll start adding the tutorial videos to the front page of this thread.

 

Congratulations on getting to the Earth Defence Platform - Nearly there now.

That's a tough one. I will upload a screenshot of my suggested turret layout tomorrow but a few pointers:

• Yes the goliath spawn at the start is there to put you in a state of anxiety during the first few waves To minimize damage put a couple of plasma turrets next to the CMD and also get the CMD machine up.
• It's a big open map so artillery shines well. Make sure you've got a few in the middle. Try and get them to level 3 early on so they can help wipe out clusters forming on the command centre.
• There's a lot of flying enemies on this map, make sure you've got a fair few machine gun turrets, at least 2 with rocket pods in range of the CMD.
• For this map, filling the turret platforms before upgrading can be more beneficial but this depends on your turret upgrade path.
• Flame turrets are useful to thin out zombie spawns so place them close to spawn points if you can.

Next week I'lll do the asteroid walk through and then the defence map next.

 

EMP is incredibly underrated by the player base from what I've seen

It sacrifices damage but instead has the ability to slow multiple units that are within range of the projectile.

Also its charged attack will slow every unit within range of the EMP discharge for several seconds. It has a fairly large area of effect that disperses in a spherical pattern so it's best placed fairly central on the map. The charged attack also has a short cool down so while it might not deal much damage, it provides the rest of your towers with additional time to deal damage.

On the Defence map try putting a single EMP artillery in the middle of the map to see if this helps. Let me know how you get on. I will post a screenshot of what I consider to be a good turret layout for the map later today.

 

The depleted uranium shell firing variant is also a great option and definitely worth having in range of your command centre for that very reason.

The EMP normal attack works on all monsters except for demon flesh. However the charged attack does effect demon flesh. It also stops monsters attacking while they are frozen in place.

 

I've logged this feedback previously as we've had a number of reports that players did not realise you can view the charged state on the tower platform as shown in the image. We will look at improving this system in the future so it is more obvious.

When charging the bar will appear yellow, when ready it will appear green and when the charged attack is active it will display in blue.

 

Here is my typical tower set-up for the Earth Defence Platform.

I'm embarrassed to say that those two meat clouds finished me off right at the end It was on hard mode though. I deployed the tactical drone too early and wasted the second shield!
