Tell us what you want to be added, changed in the game.

To keep people coming back for more, there needs to be some kind of prospect for them advancing further in the game. This game is totally addictive, but since most of us are not programmers or as skilled as Jgold, we can only give our input on what we would like to see in future releases and maybe we'll see it in the next release..... here goes mine.

1. panic button ? some kind of "last resort" thing that will save you when you are seconds away from defeat.
2. level checkpoints ? how about creating a checkpoint at say each 20 or 30 levels to fall back to instead of starting the game over?
3. more advance upgrades? the higher the levels, the stronger the opponents get while you are capped at a limited power upgrade, does not make sense why the enemy seems to be infinite but you are limited.

I would like a confirmation dialog to appear when pressing "Reset Level" when paused :D It's so near to the "Return to game" button that i already have accidentally lost a few good games :/
About other upgrades/changes in further releases, i would love to see some more upgrades for towers and the upgrades could not only increase damage and range, but also like reduce reload times and/or add something like stun, immobilize or slow effects to enemies. For example, if a Pulse Emitter had 5 upgrades, each could reduce its reload time by .2 seconds, so when maxed it would have 5 seconds reload time instead of the default 6.
It would also be great if you could fix or repair your base for money, so you could prolong your game play.
Also a quest/campaign/checkpoint based play would also be rather nice, because it kinda sux that you have to rebuild all the time, just to do some minor air defense changes at about wave 160 to see if they take you any second further :)
Furthermore, i guess, something must be done about ground units at higher levels, because maze-jiggling them around isn't much fun - either more upgrade levels for towers or lower hp for enemies.
And as many have already mentioned air units are a bit too OP :)
These are my suggestions, hope at least something of this would be added to next release.

And of course - thanks to JGold for the addiction, it really messes my job, but who cares if you can play warzone tower defense? :mrgreen:

Judging from the dialog on this forum I'm starting to get the feeling that nothing but college educated adults play Warzone. I don't think we've heard from a 12 year old yet. :lol:

maybe so ted, but that would be a good thing =P not that I have anything against 12 year olds. I have built many games for companies I have worked with in the past mostly kids / girls games and for me its refreshing to build a game I actually enjoy playing =P.

I am reading all the input, I haven't had time to start working on anything new yet, but plan to sometime in the near future.

I like the game a lot. One thing though is that around level 80 it becomes just a race to build MORE towers. It would be nice if you could upgrade more, or build a tower that enhanced other towers, or unlock bigger towers exc. The game is really just hitting it's stride around that point with the maze starting to get large, and cool. I think one more upgrade level for all the towers would make a huge difference. I want to be able to create a really epic maze.

Great game overall though!

Good game! I would like to see freeze towers, or towers that slowly poisons its target. Artillery, massive amounts of it in the form of missile barrages with a good splash damage.
And for anti-air, maybe convert the current machine guns and give them a final upgrade, Point Defense Mode: guns that fires a stream of shells at an incredible rate of fire. Maybe someday we can do a co-op mode of this game if possible. Other than that its a very good game! :D

I couldn't agree more with redtenchi, a ' missile barrage ' turret would be awesome, I think what would make these turrets slightly more unique would be the concept of placing them on top of walls, you know those little spots on the map where nothing can be built so you are forced to build around them, though not on the walls located around the edges of the map, obviously.

I think what limits how appealing this game is that after trying all the maps, you have seen what each turret does and know the basics of each of the maps...there is nothing new for you to try out, you've seen everything in the game over a period of a couple of hours. What's needed is a few more maps, or possibly a map making program for the game, then you could create a map making tournament on the forums to get a few maps posted and then choose a few of them to add to the map list of Warzone.

An idea I thought of an hour or so through playing this game was that your tower just sits there, what would make the game a WHOLE lot more interesting would be the possibility of upgrading your tower with minor defenses, such as a form of air defense / ground defense...possibly an option to upgrade your tower to lvl II then lvl III...with each level coming a new form of defense + a slight increase in health....this'd be great and i'd love to see this added to the game!

I just had another game of Warzone, and i noticed that all defenses are labelled ' defensive arsenal ' ... since you are armed with an array of turrets, aka: defensive arsenal, maybe you should be armed with other arsenals, eg: offensive arsenal, special arsenal etc.

An idea I just thought of was the option of buiding ' towers ' ... basically a turret, though it is differently shaped ( oviously if it's a tower ) and instead of firing projectiles at incoming enemies they actually give bonuses to nearby defenses, eg: a ' rocket tower ' located next to a SAM site would give the SAM site %20 more damage to air units + %5 more range etc.

Another thing which would be a great convenience would be the option to actually 'drag' walls, instead of placing a wall down at a time you could hold down the left hand mouse button and drag a row of walls in one direction.

Since my ideas are beginning to pile up I'll just put them in hyphen form.

- Missile Barrage Turret being built on ' walls ', not the wall blocks, but the areas on the map on which you cannot build anything on.

- Creating a map making program for the game and holding a map making tournament, then choose the best maps to be added to the maps list of warzone.

- More than just a defensive arsenal.

- Towers, same as turrets though instead of shooting at incoming enemies, they enhance the stat's of nearby turrets.

- Being able to drag wall blocks, instead of placing one at a time, hld down left hand mouse button and drag a row of wall blocks.

Jgold you are a legend for creating this game.

PS: I'm 14 so you've almost got the 12 year olds reeled in :D

Great game. Thanks to the devs for putting the time and effort into it.

The problem is simple. Killing bots gets harder but the reward for doing so does not increase accordingly. Thus, it becomes impossible to upgrade fast enough... which ends up making the game boring.

A case and point are the fliers. The land bots can be made to go back and forth and are never a problem. But beyond level 130, the fliers require too much firepower and killing them does not yield enough cash to upgrade accordingly.

IMHO, this is the fatal (and only) flaw of the game.
