Green runic rocks for towers?

[Azez]

I am trying to figure it out cause there was nothing in the tutorial I saw, unless I missed it. But some of the rocks you can put towers on have a little runic symbol in green, it gives a range bonus, but does it do something else? Seems like it maybe adds some kind of other attribute, let me know if you know!!!?!?!?!

Heya, if you hover over the runes on the ground with a tower you are about to place it will show you it is a range enhancement. It is better then a regular +3 tile or whatever because it actually scales with your range in total.

So all in all just a better scaling range tile :)

We did not introduce everything in the tutorial because we thought we want to keep it small and let the people find out themself, otherwise we would have paused you non stop through the flow and thats what i personaly dislike in tutorials most of the time.

Hope you have great fun with the game!

A glossary with just images would be good, or a small wiki. I assumed it was a multiplier but couldn't quite figure it out.

we will work on a Wiki soon, i feel like maybe we got so many stuff at this point that it makes alot of sense! thanks for your feedback

I agree that some kind of explaination in-game would be nice. Maybe I am just a little dumb, but I also did not figure it out before reading this thread :). Thank you for a great game so far. I am really enyoing it. It is my first time with a tower defence and it seems as a good introduction to the genre

we will work on a wiki for sure, it just takes a little time :)
Until then always happy to help you out on your questions!

I too was wondering what these are - some have two of them on it and totally unclear on why there are two vs. one. Do they stack? Do the green ones only apply to certain tower types?

Those are the hexagon-tile heights :)
If the number is higher, it means the tower gets more range! :)

I was actually referring to the two stating +1.5 range and +1.2 range, the arrow and the green thing (?)

I get that the arrow is the range based on the tile height - but the green icon isn't clear what it's for.

After looking closer, my tile has the green on it and it's a height 3 - so each height gives +0.5 range bonus, and if it also has the green icon they give +0.4 range per height and these stack?

i think its bugged and it should state its fire rate and not range (green target like icon), atleast my towers got this bonus when placed

No, actually it is just a multiplier on range. The normal range you get from +1/+2/+3 tiles and so on is flat/additive. The Green Rune Symbol is multiplicative.
Sorry, not really good explained ingame :)

[Dony]

you have 2 runic types for range then?

No, there is:
Green runes = range
Red runes = Damage
Blue runes = Barrier damage

The regular fields, without any rune on them already give you range as basic additive bonus, so if you place a tower on a normal hexagon with a +1, +2, +3 etc. it has already higher range :)

This is very helpful, thanks, I was avoiding the runed tiles entirely because I, too, wasn't smart enough to figure out what they were doing. :)
