Im Starting a TD(will be my first map) but i have no idea how to balance it correctly. im trying to make it so that its not impossible or that there are no 1 hit kills(1337 h4x excluded). the basic storyline is your guarding a nuclear from waves of demons(and special waves such as double posters). i have got the spawning and stuff down just need to balance the towers with things such as gold cost. damage and creep hp. any and all responses are greatly appreciated.

What TD? If this is your first post about it you need more info and I think this is in the wrong thread, should be in map testing.

Also people need the map to test so attach it to the post.

Attach the map, and we will play it to help with balancing.

Generally though, keep in mind values such as damage per second per gold - try to keep all towers relatively similar. Then, make each level's creeps grow in health exponentially, ie lvl1 100 hp, lvl2 140, lvl3 200, the increment increasing each time.

This fits better in general development.

theres been a slew of TD related questions recently. look at the rest of this page and the next one. as a general rule, don't ask us to make ur maps for u. u have to have something for ppl to balance it.

Well in that case...

*shifts to map testing*

1. Your triggers are a mess.

2. Never, ever, ever call a map Uber TD.

3. Terrain layout was confusion.

4. Takes too long to start.

5. Towers could be built on top of one another.

More about the triggers: the way you are doing it now will be a lot of unnecessary work. Time - Periodic is your friend, so use it.

Repeating what ruler said: Calling a map Uber TD is just... Yuck. I'm sorry, but it's very shoddy sounding. Give it a name resembling its theme. Uber TD makes it sound like a TD tossed together in 2 days with minimal effort. (I said sounds, btw)

yeah its pretty lame all around but it was just me attempting to make a TD. uber was just the first thing that popped into my head and i was too lazy to change it

Well, be un-lazy and change it. At least give your TD a theme.
