will we see the monkey village range increase purchase again?

[11austin3]

in bloons tower defence 5 there was an option to purchase a MASSIVE range increase on the monkey village , meaning you only needed 1-2 on the map. and it was amazing
now the range is so small you need 1 per 3 towers. and it takes up an awful amount of space.
id love to see the range increase purchase return to the store in this game. or add it into the monkey knowledge section.

I agree, I miss that too! Hope they add that :)

I would also like for the village's footprint to be smaller. It does take up a lot of space.

I want premium upgrades for monkey money like btd5!

I find myself running into this issue a lot too. The first tech line for the monkey village starts off great (range + monkey damage) then falls apart from there. I'd love for the 3rd/4th one in that line to be a another range boost so we could then combo it w/ either cost reductions or camo vision for a decent number of monkeys

the monkey village just feels under powered in this game , even its 5th tier upgrade attack isn't a fraction as powerfull as its older brother from BTD5
the range is so small and its footprint is so big.
i really want them to bring back that super long radius increase that it had from 5 , i bought it then and i'd certianly buy it now , every patch that comes out i comb through it to see if its added in.

But you guys forgot about path 3 T4 and T5 upgrade. Or is it that I'm a noob who doesn't know the game well enough yet so it's not that great after all.

Even with both range boosts, it's only about one third the size of the one in BTD 5.

if you bought the range upgrade on BTD5 the monkey village would cover anywhere from 70-80% of the entire map with a little foot print , it would include all your majour towers within its radius leaving only the outer most parts untouched , a simple solution to this was to place one on the left and ride side of the map covering almost 100% of the map and buffing every tower.
this games monkey village's footprint is almost as large if not bigger then a super monkey , and its range is so little it can only fit 4-5 towers within it and only one of them can become offensive.

It was a balancing decision. The range increase in BTD 5 was way too op.

theres a difrence between balance decision and making a tower nearly obsolete , while its true yes the range was OP , something you have to pay for should give you a good advantage , and even if the range is half of what it was it would still make the monkey village viable again. as it stands right now its nearly obsolete.

[Hyebri]

The village is nowhere near "obsolete". It's not as good as it was in btd5 but it's still a very strong tower.

The main problem with the monkey village is, what it can do can do other towers too.
What made monkey village so good was that it was agreat buff tower to migate weaknesses of towers. If a tower could not detect camo or couldn't pop a specific bloon type the monkey village fixed that. It also gave good stats to nearby towers.

This has changed drastically. Many towers have new abilites that lets them pop bloons that they couldn't before, monkey wizard is basically much better than monkey village for detecting/removing camo. We have an entire upgrade in the monkey knowledge that makes it possible for an entire tower tribe to pop frozen bloons.
And lead bloons have never been an issue anyway and in BTD6 you have even more options to pop them.

The base range of monkey village is also really low. I didn't check this but I think it is smaller than in BTD 5 (without the double range increase). Tgether with its large footprint and how most maps are designed you don't have good areas where you can cover a lot of towers. For a support-only tower this is terrible. The tower has no attack on his own (only in the path 1 tier 5 upgrade which is expensive as hell anyway) so he either needs better support options or get a bigger radius that you don't have to build so many.

A big problem is, his first path concentrates on only a very small part of the tower collection (primary monkeys) which is too different from what he did before (supporting all towers). His second path concentrates on throwing out additional pop support (anti camo, regrow and lead) which is, like I said before, not necessary since many other towers do the same but better.
The only real "good" path is the last one which concentrates on cost reduction. Lower costs on towers early on are nice and if you can get the 10k upgrade for the 50% money increase you can save alot of money in the long run. However the initial investment is big and here comes the low range again in play. It affects only towers in range and this is terrible.
The range does not have to cover the whole map, I agree this is too powerful. But at least it shoudl be bigger as it is now.

The monkey vilage was pretty silly in 5. Pop one down basically anywhere and your good to go, cheap camo detection and dps boosts for everyone!
Im glad its no longer so universal now, defenetly a move in the right direction
But it still feels like nk pushed it a little too far in that direction and need to push to back a little. Because most of the upgrades are really quite silly.

i agree it shouldn't be as univeral as it was , but its like they tried to copy the CN tower with sticks and mud , it looks the same but its just a fragile shell of its big brother.
