It shouldn't do that at all, unless you are playing a version that someone else has edited. Download the version uploaded here in the workshop.

Very fun TD game but after a while, the units stop working and the end just gets clumped up

@SweatyBalls I found my mistake - for some reason a peace treaty was enabled in my settings :D it works fine now! Thanks for the entertaining scenario!

Oh maybe check allied victory is off. Set it to conquest

Hmm not sure... make sure you dont set any teams.

To host a game, ensure all players slots are filled with Humans or AI (Player 8 MUST be AI), no teams are set and difficulty is standard. After the game begins, you can boot the AI players using the booter outposts (near monasteries and life towers).

Let me know if you still have problems

@SweatyBalls Hey! It looks very interesting, but my towers won't attack P8
I'm playing Singleplayer and chose that mode in the settings (deleting the outpost for it)

The game continues to switch me to allied with him, nothing seems to work...
I'd really appreciate your help :(

Yeah, range limit is a game engine limitation as far as I know, just like attack cannot go above 32k. Different units might have slightly different max range. Perhaps with some kind of engine mod, this can be changed. But that's too many dependencies. This scenario was designed to be as universal as possible.

Is there a range limit? I noticed towers stop at +13 range.

Well thats why I kept the game compatible with the original data set, so everyone can play it. However there are some minor differences... such as non auto targetting monkeys, as well as the unique castle tech for each civ.

Thanks guys for the response!
I guess it's the newest expansions i need for that then, may have to wait for a sale :]

Thanks Flake

Yep if you host the game in original data set, then you wont auto target the monkeys. You can use a fireshield and a nuke to survive that level.

@MadJunkBoy

The game was played in orignal data set, need expansions for monkeys to be targeted by towers

in orignal game it considers monkeys animals so towers dont auto shot

Did I do anything wrong? Cause my towers didn't attack the demon spawn on level 10... Caused me to lose the relativly good run i was having...

P8 always quits yes, but its not an allied victory game, so the game will continue until one of the players 1-7 wins.

To play single player, just choose the single player option BEFORE you choose the difficulty and the number of starting kings. You must do this within the first 30 seconds, or else the game will automatically choose easy difficulty and 21 starting kings, and because once the difficulty and start kings are chosen, it will remove the single player option.

To choose singleplayer, find the appropriate outpost in the settings islands and delete it. All the other players 2-7 will be frozen out, but you can continue playing.

Also, remember to fill all the slots with AI when you host it.

I can't host single player p8 always quits

Is it possible to win this? I cheated a lot of resources but lost anyway and my bombards reached 32k damage and resetted.

It was always my intention to leave the 2nd store with space for further development. If i get some time, Ill try to have a look and adopt some of the better ideas into my version. Thanks for the feedback.

yeah sorry not your version, its too easy. your one is the best, alot harder. but i do like the other versions 2nd store

if you get 3 classes on chooseing random class it is bit unfair especially if its warlord/engi/merchant/wizard, + getting invetment bank

yeah you dont get alot at the market selling only few extra kings but with wonder bonus food wood and the other bonus over time if will give you extra bits

i have only done it 2 times with invetment bank cash out of 32k just bought stone and healed tower.. i think gems was 600-700 around by time finish.. you also have a bonus in second store of 1 gem per 45 seconds. yeah you could easly buy gems with investment bank but you already won by this point..

@Flayke

I tried that remastered version once but cant find it on the workshop, so not sure how legit the version I was playing is. I think the random class was broken... how fair is it to randomly get up to 3 classes?

Selling wood and food for 14 gold on the market?. Need more thought put into economy balance. Gemshops lasting into 5 hours? Sounds like you can get over 5000 gems on gambler, which im not sure my triggers we designed to handle.

@TigerPrawn

its Remastered version, im not sure who by. DMG halt helps give ideas

its good version, just a bit diffrent... still needs balance..

with either warlord or wizard aztec or ♥♥♥♥ can easly get 32,000 return on 20 king investment bank pretty much your running "last level" pope francis for 2 hours after it starts just need to remember to buy 3 million++ stone with kings............

by this point even selling food and wood for 14 gold is giving you a decent king return because of game time... and your gemshop is also better return with a game time of 5 hours

i was bored, dont blame me...

Thanks for the reply! It was the single player version I played. Because of my investment i got so many queens at the end, so i probably survived for 10 mins game time. Eventually you run out of gold to repair the life tower.
And indeed AOE, u just cant beat the pope, not even with maximum army and maximum attack and range with ur units spread out between the towers.
Still,I had fun trying to beat the scenario!

My version doesnt have a Pope Francis, and i use just 1 queen. You must be playing someone elses version. Still, the last level is supposed to be surviving the longest. If you have 100 queens left I would say whoever edited that version has not balanaced it properly.

25k ap 500 army cant beat the pope

I am at the final level with pope francis; i have 30000 attack and like 100 queens left so i repair my tower forever. Problem: pope francis keeps coming, like 5mins and he wont stop. Is this a bug? Or are u just not meant to win ATD? :D

Hehehe Keep trying! Grow your economy faster, use the investment and gem shops to maximise your economy when the levels are easier. Upgrade your army as late as you dare to leave it. Use your spells and nukes to get you out of trouble. Position your troops wisely!

Oh and 8 fire ships 9k attack

238 Units - all min 5000 Attack. Towers with 7k attack and still lost.... This is so hard

ooooooh thanks very much

You have to complete your two inner rows of towers before the shop is unlocked.

2nd store not working :(

How many fireships recommended? I don't know to be honest with you! Maybe you can tell me!

Yea i've beaten it since then haha Struggle hardcore with the final levels... How many fire ships recommended?

If you host the game with the original data set your towers and armies will not automatically attack the monkey boys. This will make it much harder to beat. You will have to use nukes or spells like fireshield to help you.

Alternatively host the game under the expansions data set and they will be targetted like normal units. If you are still struggling to beat the monkeys, then you probably have to upgrade your attack earlier, or be faster with growing your economy, or build towers faster and buying armies earlier so you have more units upgrading.

I always lost at Monkey boy level..... HOW DO YOU BEAT IT?????

oh ok awesome!

@Surdok An interesting idea, that will help game play a little. One solution I see is that it might utilise an extra unit and therefore use up 1 population and it would be quite a few more triggers. Thanks for your feedback though. Hope you enjoy the game!

Hey TigerPrawn. Just a small suggestion, i hope it is doable so it could save some time.
I suggest that you can target your spawnning kings to go somewere in the shop, so they auto buy something for you instead of you manually controlling them.

For example, i want to command every king i get to go to the 1000+ AP tower upgrade, so i don't do it manually.

Anyway, you've done amazing in creating such flawless TD :) i hope to see more from you in the future.

@Tjalling Im not sure what you are doing wrong. Maybe youre using a wrong version? Can you explain in detail what you are doing to setup a game?

I can't seem to get this to work. The flags indicating the number of kings necessary are not there, and the same goes for 90% of the relics with their associated descriptions. What am I doing wrong?

@sh4downight,
I made reduced file size and called it v29.8 from my side, but hosted long time ago with that filename. ;)
Those cheat versions just sound plain stupid to me X_X

@sh4downight Thank you for explaining and instructions on how to prevent getting trolled. You are 100% correct. I stopped editing at 29-7. That is currently my final version. I cannot stop anyone from editing their own versions, and giving them names like 31-0 or even using my own version names.

How to prevent getting trolled by cheat versions?
1. Delete all the Ancient Tower Defense versions you got
2. Subscribe Ancient Tower Defense in Workshop
3. Get the official Version from Workshop
4. If you enter a lobby and you have to download the version, tell the people inside the lobby it's probably a cheat version

Hello everybody, now i have to tell you ... after being trolled by ANOTHER cheat-version: there is no 31-0 version or 29-8 version !!! In 31-0 host gets all the gold for everyone gems, and in 29-8 host starts with 20k each resource! It's ridicilous how often I see a lobby with those two versions! Please be carefull and use only the official versions!!!

@FL4KE ok thanks ill take a look

@ μ

It is a palisade wall, its location is in the investment bank, one side of palisade walls tells you how much percent %% your investment is use the othe side palisade wall to collect investment,
( delete palsiade wall when you want to cash out )

where is the tower to get back the investment of kings you can make?

@TigerPrawn Ah. thank you. It turns out I had two different versions of TD installed, and I was looking at the wrong one. I'm an idiot. Got it working!

@Mc_Jayster It's on an island near the middle of the map. If you are blue player 1, the view changes to the island at the start. The tower is next to the difficulty and start-kings towers. You must choose singleplayer before you choose a difficulty, otherwise the game will automatically assume multiplayer. The game will automatically choose easy difficultly and start-kings 21 after 30 seconds or so; so you must choose singleplayer within this time. Good luck have fun

I cannot find the tower to delete for singleplayer. Help?
