3 PATH BALLISTA | Beating the Impossible | Rogue Tower

[@scientic]

There's literally an achievement to have the map voluntarily block itself across every path. Crazy that people would say it doesn't happen!

[@PoPoRybnik]

Happened to me a few days ago

[@Verowak]

I know, right? The worst is that they usually say I have no idea what I'm talking about or that I meant the portals shower up at level 40+ i hate when people are adamant that I'm wrong and try to twist things around

[@Ninja-The-Red-Shinobi]

3 paths is soooo tough to manage over, you did an amazing job!

[@Verowak]

It is pretty damn tough, but getting a good map makes things a lot better

[@zeejustin6]

@@Verowak I'mcurious how many tried it took to get this run.

[@Verowak]

@@zeejustin6 I have no idea. I didn't keep track :(

"do i get mana bolts (level 2)" the engineer shone through here... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

[@Verowak]

Mana bolts are always so damn tempting!!!

[@gerrynowak9050]

One split! Wow that was fortunate. Good number of universities also. Good game!

[@Verowak]

I know, right? I got insanely lucky with that map.. I was just waiting for a tile to split from the directions I didn't want it to

[@vincentking2552]

My middle name is Plethora, it may sound like a weird middle name, but my parents says it means a lot.

[@Verowak]

Well... you had me doubting you at first, then I was like... ok I suppose people have named their kids weirder things... then the punchline hit ... nice 🙃

[@poked4094]

We would love another 3 path Ballista, but full mana bolts

[@Verowak]

Full mana bolts would be scary!! 😱

[@LordPhobos6502]

I once had a single path map curl in on itself and make a portal... no splits. You get an achievement for it too. Unlikely? For sure. But not a zero chance.

[@Verowak]

I keep forgetting to mention that to the people who say the map gen doesn't work that way

[@mister-8658]

You're going to break Picasso's record for most middle names

[@ziiofswe]

Are you talking about Vero 'The Record Breaker' Wak, perhaps?

[@Verowak]

I had to google that and see... and now I'm curious how you know that he had so many middle names.

[@mister-8658]

@@Verowak because in Picasso's day the middle names was how you kept track of your family tree. All of those middle names referred to his family tree and he would have stories for every middle name about the individuals that middle name is meant to remember. Unfortunately here in America we forced people to only have one middle name and lost their genealogical heritage.

[@mister-8658]

@@Verowak also I'm an art guy that knows a lot of trivia.

[@Verowak]

@@mister-8658 That's quite fascinating and, would help people learn about their family! Though I can understand how some people may want to remove certain names. Heritage isn't really that well recollected anymore unfortunately

[@doougle]

Ballistas were a good topic the day after our archery extravaganza. I'm impressed you remembered the boosted tower suggestion and where it came from. You're the biggest brain Ooogie!

[@Verowak]

Sometimes I remember random things. At the moment I can say I have no idea what specifically you mentioned, but I know you said something and I took that into account. My memory is but a fleeting memory

[@doougle]

@@Verowak 10:10 I realize you might have recorded this a while back so no fault for having no idea what I was talking about.

[@Verowak]

@@doougle I think I actually recorded it the day after you said it, which proves that my memory is possibly good for 1 day!

[@gaberielpendragon]

People thinking portals early can't happen are weird, there is an achievement for having it happen. When covering multiple paths, progress is really good for making sure they focus the right path when you want them to, all the mosts will tend to prioritize the ones just spawning and not the shorter path. But that was very much a master class on how to do three way.

[@ashleypaulsell3762]

My very first run was a nine tile spiral into a portal. Seeing a path curl in still gives me anxiety

[@Verowak]

Oh those are fun maps!! Can be a bit scary at first but I want more spawns like that :D

[@AZOMBYAPOCALYPS]

Did you know you can hit 1 2 or 3 to level up health armor or sheild

[@Verowak]

Thanks, I know about the shortcuts but I purposely don't use them so it's easier for people to follow along with what I'm doing

[@5353Jumper]

Had a recent game, got Siphons, Banks and ended up getting a couple mana booster cards cause there was no other good choices. So all in spent 5 cards on mana creation. The game never gave me the Mana Bolts card.

[@chaoscommander2458]

Cool, well done! But please don't retire O_o

[@Verowak]

Not completely :D Will see what other games there are though

[@urkerab]

Which is harder, Ballista-only or no Ballista Triple?

[@Verowak]

I think no ballista would be harder since you would need to cover 3 paths with expensive towers

[@alejandrocastroalarcon3031]

Great game!

[@j.s.matthews2216]

I still can't take down 3 paths ugh.

[@Verowak]

The map plays a huge part in winning imo. Early split makes it so much harder

[@j.s.matthews2216]

@@Verowak I feel like I get a split early almost every time lol!

[@Verowak]

@@j.s.matthews2216 It happens a lot for me too, this is a very, VERY rare occurrence
