• Dust - good range, average speed, average damage.

• Static - poor range, good speed, good damage.
Chance of paralysing targets. Amplifies the range of nearby static towers.
• Frost - fair range, fair speed, good damage.
Chance of freezing targets for 5 seconds. Frozen pests take 50% more damage.
• Poison - poor range, good speed, good damage.
Chance of poisoning (+) targets.
• Shroud1 - area of effect; fair range.
Reduces the combat stats of pests by 10%. Negates the Watcher's ability.
• Astral - triggered effect; average range, fair speed, fair damage.
Astral towers amplify the damage of nearby astral towers.
• Mind - area of effect; average range.
Reveals Sneakers and other cloacked pests.
• Chaos - area of effect; average range.
Chance of confusing pests.
• Death - area of effect; poor range.
Chance of ressurecting falling pests as allied NPCs.
• Blood2 - area of effect; poor range.
Quadruples the life-point recovery rate.
• Body1 - area of effect; fair range.
Increases the combat stats of players by 10%, and allied NPCs by 20%.
• Nature - triggered effect.
Erects a barrier between itself and adjacent towers.
• Cosmic - area of effect, poor range.
Quaruples the heartstone charge rate.
• Law - teleportation.
Law towers teleport players to other, random law towers.
• BLIND targets are non-aggressive (won't attack first).
• BURN afflicts periodically, inflicting damage (at an increasing rate).
• CLOAKED targets cannot be selected as targets by most towers.
• CONFUSED targets will attack both pests and allies.
• FROZEN targets cannot move.
• PARALYSIS afflicts periodically, lasting 2-3 seconds. Paralysed targets take damage as they move - NPCs won't move, so it acts as a bind. Movement commands are canceled when the paralysis splashes (so's to be fair).
• POISON afflicts periodically, inflicting damage (at a decreasing rate).
1) Each player may only set-up a single of these towers.
2) Doesn't stack with other nearby towers of the same effect.
At each the tents, monastery, port-town and watchtower is a stockpile of black-marble coloured obelisks. Take as many as you can carry (remember to leave room for other provisions if needed).
Obelisks can be set-up with a minimum of one-space between each other in a similar fashion to barricades at Castle Wars - drop! Duh-dah! Upon dropping you will given the option to charge the obelisk - display a list of the 16 available towers. If you wish not to charge the obelisk, select no. To charge an uncharged obelisk, use your heart stone on it.
Each tower requires a different amount of charge (which is stored in the heartstone). It will slowly charge by itself, but using Cosmic Altars will drastically increase this speed. The heartstone can also be used to repair towers as they take damage - but you cannot attack whilst utilising the stone.
Each of the basic elemental towers can be upgraded twice to increase damage and range.
Even a solid wall of towers isn't necessarily immune - a large wave of brawlers could easily plough through if the towers are weighted correctly.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
Highlights from some discussion between me 'n' Ruy;
• Towers would be monoliths that are armed by players.
• Tower-types are related to runes (plus some extras).
• Loads of new types of pests.
• Players fight too - not just sitting back and watching the tower.
• Endless, or near endless, waves. In Gears of War 2's "Horde" gameplay, there was apparently some difficulty testing the last few waves as no-one could get to them.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
I drew a map!
It's basically a check-point style Tower Defence. There's the Watchtower, which is RuneScape's answer to Sauron's Tower in Lord of the Rings (only with the Soul logo atop it); there's the Clocktower in the old port-town; the abandoned monastery; the resupply tents and the Pyramid of Life (complete with floating rock/relic thing that looks like a life rune). There's a rubbed out wall before the tents - unrub it out. I forgot to draw it back on. Below the monastery is a cliff btw, not water.
Pests would come indefinitely - the only end is when you break.
All over the battlefield would be black obelisks in various conditions (broken, tilted, on the floor, etc). These would be charged to become monoliths - our towers! Monoliths would have varying appearances - depending on tower.

Existing;
• Splatter, Ravenger, Brawler, Torcher, Shifter and Spinner.
Ours;
• Boomer, Bazooker, Angler, Mauler, Ticker, Runner, Jumper, Splitter, Phaser, Leecher, Watcher, Sticher...
Of course, bigger and other variation of existing. Brawlers with weapons?
What should the bosses be?

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
Larger versions of existing pests? Or something similar to the riftsplitter and planefreezer from Dungenoneering?

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
Larger versions generally - not just as bosses!
I'm sure we could easily come up with new bosses.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
We need something that is immune to noramal types of damage. We also need combination towers.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
If Wind, Fire, Water and Earth have more effecty-types, then combinations can easily be that - combination.
Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
I was thinking that the combination towers could have their own, special, effects. Lava could create a trench within ten walking spaces of the monoliuth, mist could cause monsters to become non-agressive (while you're inside the area blanketed by it, mud could slow down the enemies, dust could cause them to take repeated damage, smoke could force them away from the area around the monolith and steam could remove status's (or is that "stati?") like poison from a player.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
It needs to be more strategy for sure
More stuff you can do to win in a different way every time.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
Lol, I forgot pngs are transparent.
• Dashed white line is the route the pests want to take.
• The portal within the port-town opens after the pests have taken the monastery. Other portals could open at set points.
• The black splots are obelisks. It kinda looks weird on the map, but I imagine it'd be like running through a forest of black-marble tree trunks. Of course - their appearance changes depending on tower.
*attempts to reason the island*
I'd say the island was hit by a meteorite of kinds that left the obelisks like shrapnel. A small town was set up to study them, but it was abandoned when the towers weren't sources of anything (we're power-hungry, and they only drained resources). The pyramid, though I haven't shown it, would be surrounded by obelisks and would appear to be the main meteorite... some sort of ship? The pests invaded there at the SAME time as the other island... the reason we're only hearing about it now is a programming hold-up, not anything explained by lore.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
When you click to use your heartstone on an obelisk the player will hold it out against the black surface and a charge bar will appear above the tower. This will fill up and the tower will glow slightly. Other players can hold their heartstones too to speed up the rate the obelisks charge. The first player will receive an interface that they can use to select the desired tower at any time (once the correct charge is sacrificed).
Towers are fairly resilient but you can heal them by holding the heartstone against it's surface and sacrificing charge to repair.
The only towers not constructed by the player, and cannot be constructed, are the Life Tower (the pyramid) and the three Soul Towers (watchtower, clocktower and monestary). They can still be repaired - but once destroyed they are lost.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
You know what - I've changed my mind.
The Obelisks are on a table and they can take as many as they can fit in their inventory (leaving room for provisions obviously). These are set-up like barricades and the player gets the option to choose when setting up the tower - players still require resource in order to build the towers. Players can give each other resource by using their heartstone on each other.
Towers cannot be placed any closer than a 2 block gap - so TOWER-space-TOWER-space-TOWER is fine.
Players could in theory cover 1/4 of the accessible map with towers - but that doesn't guarantee any victory. If you get a big wave of brawlers and you've got nothing good at taking them out then they'll just slowly destroy a path through the obelisks.

Re: Pest Control 2: Tower Defence
Ideas for alternate effects would be appreciated.
Also - full list of combo effects.
