***FAQ***

1) How many leaks are allowed?

 - One per life, except bosses, which consume 10 lives per leak (and the final boss, which you can't leak at all).

2) How come this FAQ is so short?

- Because it got cut off earlier and I haven't rewritten it.

3) Do you speak portugese?

- I DO NOT SPEAK PORTUGESE, STOP ASKING

***Tips***

 - Mazes will help greatly on this map.
 - Using a single tower type will get you killed.
 - Not upgrading at least some towers will get you killed.
 - Snare towers are very useful in air levels.
 - Air units ignore terrain and towers - they fly straight.
 - Half a tower-width gap is suggested for allowing monsters to pass without problems.
 - Units will attack you if stopped for too long.
 - You start with at least 25 lives; use them wisely.

***Level Progression***

Most of the values (such as monster hp, gold earned, monster speed, monster count, armor count, etc) progress as the level increases.  The values ramp up very heavily.

Examples
 - Gold gained after level 1 is 10, whereas after level 61, you gain 230.
 - Enemy health at Level 1 is 15, but at level 61 enemies have 276.


***The 10-set***

Game music, monster armor, monster type, and other values are mostly divided into a 10-set (i.e. a sequence of settings that repeats every 10 levels).|n|nAir units appear at the 5th level in the 10-set, and bosses appear at the 10th level in the set.|n|nThere are no flying bosses|n|nArmor types in the 10-set are Light, Light, Medium, Medium, None, Heavy, Heavy, Fortified, Fortified, Hero.

***Extra Tower Info***

Each upgrade does much more damage but costs a little more as well.  Other increases also apply.

Each tower will do a specific damage type, and as monster armor type varies, it's best to plan your tower setup to do heavy damage to each new level.

The first builder can build the four rank 1 towers.  These towers are best for levels 1-20.

Starter Towers are great for building up mazes, and are great for the earlier bosses.
