Art of Defence

keywords: PVE, co-op, singleplayer, tower defence, survival




You and your teammates have to defend agains several waves of AI. They spawn on multiple points on the map and will move to the other side, following a path. When they reach the end, your team loses. If you kill them all, you win. Easy.

Expect incoming paratroopers, units spawning in buildings and sneak attacks. Also expect bombing runs and artillery. Your base defences, mines and tank traps can and will be destroyed, and units blocking AI units will lose health. Best is to stay out of the way, or use uber micro to block-and-run tactics.

We aim at making the maps doable on your own on easy difficulty, with a full team it should be possible to beat hard. Let us know when you beat hardest, we never did that...





CLASSIC MODE
We built in the following features for the best gameplay experience:

• Several, well balanced waves of AI
  
• Events like bombing, artillery and paradrops to force the player to focus on the whole map
  
• Ingame messages, to tell the player what's going on
  
• Several routes per map that the AI units will follow
  
• Ingenious difficulty system (easy is doable on your own, hard is doable with a full team)
  
• Wrecks are cleared to avoid hindrance
  
• Karma is scripted, she's a ♥♥♥♥♥. It's a feature that will damage friendly units on the road-sector when your units are blocking the AI units, or when you place mines or tank traps. Karma will take care of the units to ensure a better flow in the game. It has the necessary speech and visual warnings to let the player know what's going on
  
• This mod is a framework that will allow mappers to setup their own AOD maps in a very easy way

SURVIVAL MODE
If you finished a map using our classic gamemode, you can switch over to survival mode:

• Unlimited waves
  
• Increasing difficulty
  
• Randomized waves
  
• Ingenious system that distributes and stacks modifiers
  
• Plug-and-play with any AOD map

This adds a real challenge for the hardcore AOD players! Simply choose "Art of Defence - Survival" as victory condition and it should work!
