So many attack priority options, and still missing the obvious/most useful ones?

Towers still don't have "closest to castle" as a priority. I'm trying to find a good reason why a TD game would not have that priority as the default priority, but I'm drawing blanks on that.

There is single enemy targeting, right click on an enemy, both for a tower or unit, or for all in range. Sometimes it makes things worse, but depending on how smart the defenses are set up, it does the job.

But yes, I agree I would like to have a couple more options there, like 'closest to the tower'. I would predict if you need the option 'closest to castle' it's too late already, it only saves it for a short while.

If you don't have any priority targeting already, the towers default to targeting the farthest along the path in their range, which results in it targeting the one closest to the castle road wise, if you want a particular tower to target whichever enemy thats made it the farthest, just don't give it any priority. So technically the default priority IS closest to castle, farthest along the path.

Unless you were referencing "closest to tower" like CanuckBear was mentioning. Or if you're specifying that you want it as a tangible option, I'm assuming so you can have it take priority of the other ones by setting it first, which in case it would also make it nice.

Okay, they weren't doing that before updating to the latest version, now they are. Good to see some sensible design choices in an EA game (it's rarer than one would hope.) Despite what pros may suggest, targeting "closest to castle," specially with a lot of ground effects, poison clouds and such, will decimate everything before they can get anywhere close to their target, and let you run to day 30+ on Crazy even if you're using a very small selection of towers (again, contrary to what the pros seem to advise.)

I'm afraid Crazy is too casual lately. This weekly challenge is for the pros though :)
