Scenario immediately ends with a victory every time, unable to play it.

The trigger specifies that if a player owns 298 objects of class "Tower", the player can't buy any tower upgrades. If the player deletes towers until below that limit it should work again.

Are you sure its 290? It felt a lot less.
Bassefrom  [author] Oct 4, 2019 @ 1:20am 
Yes, the game engine is unfortunately limited to how many buildings/units can be upgraded at once. If the limit is exceeded, the game will crash. To be safe, the AP shops doesn't work when you have 290+ towers in co-op. In single player mode, the lanes are designed to not exceed this limit, but in co-op, it'spossible to exceed that limit.

So we were playing this yesterday and the three of us had a plan to win co-op with three players. One player buys 4 extra builders and goes crazy building towers, the other players sling him wood/stone after getting coinage, banking and caravan, then go all out on getting gold themselves occasionally slinging it along with wood/stone to the player building towers. But when it came to mass buying AP, he had 30k gold and couldn't buy any of the AP upgrades. Perhaps theres a limit to how many towers a single player can have for the upgrades to work?

I was spanish, and yeah I had the get 1 caravan each "X" seconds.
Bassefrom  [author] Sep 10, 2019 @ 1:30am 
Thank you!

Huns maximum number of trade carts is 150, maybe you were Huns? However, it seems like the automatically generated trade carts sometimes don't have an upper limit.
In The Shadow.... Sep 9, 2019 @ 10:57am 
Just letting you know @bassefrom, that the 100 maximum caravans is broken, I had around 110 - 115 caravans.
Other than that I loved this TD. Goog job.
Bassefrom  [author] Apr 21, 2019 @ 7:18am 
Awesome! Good job!

"Congratulations! You've won all the 14 levels!"

It took quite some time and optimization, but I finally did it. One important thing I had to learn was that you can't just consider how long it takes for something to pay for itself, but also the total income.
Iconian Apr 17, 2019 @ 10:02am 
I've played Chinese almost every time--the only other civ that I've wondered might be comparable is Mayans, though I haven't tried them yet. Perhaps I'll test that. As to the towers, I've been getting economic upgrades instead and putting off any tower upgrades until level 3 with the Pikemen.
Bassefrom  [author] Apr 17, 2019 @ 8:01am 
Hmm, not really, but not focusing too much on towers is what I meant :)

Although when starting with extra vills I tend to send them to the resource area!
Iconian Apr 16, 2019 @ 1:01pm 
Barely surviving the FIRST waves? Are you saying then that I ought to take a couple tower builders and put them on resources at first? I hadn't thought about that . . . Sounds dangerous, but with an optimized order of events it might be doable . . .
Bassefrom  [author] Apr 16, 2019 @ 11:43am 
Try to get as much gold income as possible while still barely surviving the first waves! And yes, selling at market can be very beneficial :)
Iconian Apr 13, 2019 @ 11:08pm 
I've been trying to beat solo on easy for about eight months now, but thus far have not succeeded. I've gotten to the point where at the end my towers are doing around 13,500 damage each. A number of the 2.5 million HP scouts on the level die, but it's just not enough, and I'm wracking my brain for ideas about how to eke out more damage from the towers. Maybe if I were to place more emphasis on selling from the market? Or if I knew better the actual numbers behind how effective the various purchases are? Does anyone know?
Bassefrom  [author] Jul 22, 2018 @ 2:40am 
Glad you got it figured out! I hope you enjoyed the scenario :)
The Almighty Crumpet Jul 20, 2018 @ 5:23am 
Nevermind, turns out I had not selected the mode and difficulty as I did not release the outposts where the kings where was how you pick, descriptions are appearing now :)
The Almighty Crumpet Jul 20, 2018 @ 5:20am 
Don't know if I'm doing something wrong but playing solo on this with the base game only (I have expansions but selecting the base data to play) and a lot of the descriptions for relics are not showing so I don't know how much things are and been playing in fast speed for a good ten minutes and a wave has not started :(
cosmo.caveman Apr 7, 2018 @ 1:26pm 
LOVED IT! So I'm definitally goingto play this again with my friends in coop mode! :steamhappy:
Kiddoomer Jan 3, 2018 @ 7:44am 
Thanks for the mod, I'm having quite a lot of fun with. A little bug happens sometimes at the start of a singlepayer match though : the king which is used to choose the difficulty of the game get killed by the player 2 tower before I have control of him (when I am choosing between kings and normal mode).
Bassefrom  [author] Aug 31, 2017 @ 12:15pm 
Then you are doing something wrong. I just tried it with, and without, DLC and it worked. I did not play with any of the DLC civs however.
Dabrotzowitch Jun 19, 2017 @ 11:56am 
I tried it with and without DLC and it would not work.
Bassefrom  [author] Jun 19, 2017 @ 10:22am 
Hmm, that is strange. It works fine for me. Are you using any DLC when playing? This was made without any DLC and could stop working as intended if you are using DLCs
Dabrotzowitch Jun 15, 2017 @ 9:22am 
I got a problem with the game/match ends right when i load the map, i have lock teams on. There is 7 AI and the 8th player is an AI, i cant figure out what is causing it to insta victory at the start. I would glad for any help at all.
+Nomad Oct 15, 2016 @ 1:41pm 
Hmm. It doesnt give me the option to lock teams?
Bassefrom  [author] Oct 15, 2016 @ 12:59pm 
You have to play with locked teams, otherwise they will enemy you and destroy your towers. And make sure to not play with the expansions as I do not know how the game will react with them enabled!
+Nomad Oct 15, 2016 @ 12:57pm 
Its a nice game but the fact sabs destroy my towers and not my allies is a real game changer for them.
Bassefrom  [author] Oct 9, 2016 @ 12:09pm 
That is really weird, because you have to play it with locked teams. It works every time I play it, and when I join other people who are hosting it.
JABOOTHE60 Oct 9, 2016 @ 9:12am 
My son helped me... but I am having the same problem that another player mentioned. When the saboteur's come thru they blow up my towers but they don't do the same to the other players. I do have the expansion pack. I don't know if this is why. It even happens when I host in the original game. I cannot lock the teams at the set up it won't let me check the box.
Bassefrom  [author] Oct 7, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
Hmm, that is very strange. Are you sure you are playing the correct version? The towers to select modes and difficulty should only be visible to the hosting player as well!
JABOOTHE60 Oct 7, 2016 @ 2:35pm 
Love the game but I am having a problem when i go into mulit player. The first few games there was no problem with the file transfers but then it started to glitch. The towers at the start where you tell the game how to play were just not there anymore. I have no idea why???
Bassefrom  [author] Jul 9, 2016 @ 6:43am 
That is weird, has never happened before. I know HD Edition has a hard time handling such fast units with them getting stuck, so my guess is that it's because of the bad coding that went in to making this HD port of the game, as it works flawlessly in the old original game
Adam A Jul 9, 2016 @ 1:50am 
Twice now my Shopping Guy has gotten stuck in a pocket, and cannot move to buy things!
Bassefrom  [author] May 28, 2016 @ 7:23am 
Hey klinkie007, I don't know what the problem could be. It used to download just fine for people before
klinkie007 May 28, 2016 @ 7:06am 
hey basse, after i subscribed the mod didnt seem to start the download??
Bassefrom  [author] Dec 10, 2015 @ 3:50am 
That should not happen if you lock the teams. The enemy player should be allied to you, but you should be enemy to them.
JanitorMoe Dec 9, 2015 @ 6:46pm 
It appears that the units attack my towers. I got all the way to the sabs and got destroyed because they detonated and blew up my towers.....
Flappysalmon Nov 11, 2015 @ 3:24am 
Thanks! ill look forward to playing this again!
Bassefrom  [author] Nov 10, 2015 @ 7:38am 
It should now be upgraded to the new file-system!
Trgg Oct 23, 2015 @ 12:17pm 
my favorite game ever...
thanks
Flappysalmon Sep 21, 2015 @ 2:59pm 
Thanks!
Bassefrom  [author] Sep 9, 2015 @ 10:12am 
I will take a look into it as soon as I get time!
Flappysalmon Aug 25, 2015 @ 5:13pm 
can you update this to the new mod system please! its one of my Fav Tower defences!
Bassefrom  [author] Jul 15, 2015 @ 3:48pm 
What is in need of updating? I know the coop mode is unstable, but it should be playable at least.
ArcadiaDuels Jul 12, 2015 @ 7:42pm 
please up date
Bassefrom  [author] Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:17pm 
v0,5,10 isn't an official version. Probably made by some idiot who wanted it to be easier or something
King Cobra Dec 7, 2014 @ 8:07am 
Thanks, this map version Novus TD (v0,5) works.
map (v0,5,10) dosen't....
Bassefrom  [author] Dec 7, 2014 @ 7:20am 
Does it not work in regular aoe2? Because I think it should
King Cobra Dec 7, 2014 @ 7:04am 
Hi Basse, I really need this map on regular AOE II. where can I get it from. Btw, this is my favorite of all TDs. Ty
