Alpha 1.7 -

Ummmm.... Lots.
almost every damage/cost value for all towers has been changed. (again)

New upgrade level for Beam/Warp/Strike towers
3 New Towers which require the max level of 2 towers
Draining Tower - Requires Beam Level 3 and Strike Level 2
Laser Tower - Requires Beam Level 3 and Warp Level 3
Meteor Tower - Requires Warp Level 3 and Strike Level 2
Multi Cannon Tower replaced with Level 3 Photon Cannon
most bugs i created in 1.6 SHOULD be fixed (i hope)
Lightning Tower STILL sucks. i dont know what to do with it. maybe give it, it's stun back?
Fixed Upgrade on Beam tower to actually work.
modified some upgrades to carry over to later upgrades of that tower (so siege tank fire rate will affect level 2 siege tank tower)

most of my changes are to speed up the early game abit. add more variety and choice to the game overall
not sure how i feel on balance. definately needs some changes. i just dont know what. feedback much appreciated.

in my internal testing it was far too easy. so i halved pretty much every towers damage and left their costs
after doing this i was able to get to swarmlings with about 10 lives left and losing pretty much immediately. i did not bother saving money at all for interest gains so people can probably do alot better :)

Alpha 1.61 -

I know alot of people find this TD somewhat boring now.
my plan to fix that is basically to add more towers in. mainly as upgrades.
probably will nerf cost of tier 2/3 towers. add a 4th tier of towers.
make some of the tier 1/2 towers available earlier in the game

Renamed Income to Interest
Fixed a bug causing swarmlings to not spawn on correct level or with any life (they were unkillable)
Fixed a bug causing Larva (Wave 31) to spawn without a model.
Fixed a bug where swarmlings spawned with less health than they were supposed to (after fixing unkillable bug)

im fairly certain this stems from lag spikes making the trigger run twice at the exact same time thereby bypassing conditions, will keep my eye on it.

instead of reducing armor of enemy targets. now increases damage target will take by 30%/60%
it's still pretty damn hard
