electric towers
when you buy electric towers they give a group bonus to all other electric towers "of same tech" now the tower upgrade cost 16xx and it counts as a new class tower so you lose your bonus to all the other electric (tech 1)
you need to fix that with a group setup so all electiric towers are one group or lowerig the cost for an upgrade by 80% since 16xx is way to much if you lose 7 damage from towers around you and gain 7 from the upgrade.

And I agree with you, An electirc tower level 2 should give similarity bonus to the electric level 1 (for example), Maybe the opposity shouldn't be true.
Or, even better, in the opposite case the higher level tower shoud receiver a minor bonus when together with a lower level tower and a major bonus with a same level/higher level tower.
And it would be cool if more tower received bonus by similarity (Or/and you could make something like a complementarity bonus with different towers giving bonus to other towers.
WtF?
Will they get me to 100? I've only gotten to 83 with my mixxles and ice cannons .
Try it with Roket-Towers.
Put them infront of the spawningzone of
the Ants, and put 2 ice-towers around the rocket-towers ;)
Missile Towers and Ice Towers, for example, Doesnt have bonus.
I'm going to try the electric towers meow thanks for the comments Basher and bahalus ;)
Once you have 2 ice and 9 electric towers it costs almost the same for the new level 1 electric tower than to upgrade two of the l1 to l2 and you get more benefit. The problem with this is that you have to accumulate a lot of cash and upgrade at least 3 towers at the same time so you don't fall behind when you upgrade, but accumulating that much cash is quite hard.
The game mechanics prevent you from spamming loads of low level towers all over the map.
It is not the game that has a problem it is your tactic that sucks :D
If this change would be implemented Impact tower 2 would become the superior tower of the game.
when you've got 6 level 1 towers out, they add 5 to the damage of each electric tower. when you upgrade one of them to a level 2, you loose out on one of the synergies lowering the damage of the other 5 towers by 1 each and loose the synergie damage you had on the tower. base damage for level 1 electric is 5. with 6 towers, they do 10 damage. a level 2 electric does 12. to upgrade one of 6 towers to a level 2 costs about 1,700. this will give it 2 more damage, and lower the damage of the other 5 by 1 each, net gain here is -3 dps. a second level 2 tower will decrease the other 4 by one each, add 3 damage (it was down to 9) so it's 12 now, with + 2 synergie bonus on each level 2 tower (llevel 2's add 2 damage per extra tower) so you're up 5 total on that one tower, up 2 on the other, for a gain of 7 dps and a loss of 4 dps on the remaining 4 towers. This is brek even where you are now doing as much as you did before you sunk in nearly 3,400. you will need a third upgraded electic tower to actually increase your damage, but it will be by 13 dps. a 4th tower will add another 26 dps. It's just not worth it to upgrade your electric towers between the incredible cost of doing it, and the loss od damage at the first upgrade (and 6 is a small number of electrics to have, it's not hard to get 9-10 of them with 2 ice towers around the hole....)
I can see your numbers, but really, you can reach the same amount of damage by upgrading the one by one, and your argument of the money doesn't add up is bogus, or rather it is not, cause ALL towers suffers with this problem and it really surfaces around 6th-7th tower. Find the tower that doesn't end up suffering with range, speed, money or dmg problems later in the game and you have found the towers that beats the game.
Surely i don't believe this tower exists and i do not think the game is meant to be beaten, but rather who can get furthest, and it as been obvious to me for a long time that electric towers weren't going to bring you furthest.
If money are not the problem it is the hit points of the ants, the towers as such work okay.
But most of all i do not think the game was meant to be beat but rather a competition of who an get furthest with the means available, coming down to the fact that the ants always win and it is a never ending battle.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a way to beat the game and there always were, and these new bonuses only were made to confuse us even more.
Just maybe it is not a matter of dps and damage, but rather a matter of figuring out the pattern of the ants and braking it and then controlling the ants rather than containing them and by this gaining control.
But it is just guesses, it might as well be a game that can not be beaten, but there is no doubt if you were meant to get to level 1078 to beat the game, you'd have to use at least a week or so to get there :D
So we're back at getting furthest with the means available, and some towers just wont get you as far as others.
