It's been a while since the last custom map game. Let's go with a different one today, with Element Tower Defense!

Better to lower game volume in such maps

Zzzzz, didn't even get to Ronald's. You had lvl 2 water, fire, nature but didn't get impulse towers zzzzz.

Happy times; seeing you play this. It's pretty much the only game (and version if hosting) I play these days. Subscribed for a long time now - still quality viewing!

[@evanhatampour5177]

@@matthewheaney1090 Hmm that's interesting to hear. Why not version 4.3b though? I thought builder weapons were a dud so I figured people would prefer the version where I made them optional.

I have been doing tower D wrong my whole life.

[@JonxNgo]

Yea same.... I always thought it was a "set it and forget it" playstyle with your upgrades going towards the front while continually building south bound..

[@contris1]

this is the only with interest rate mechanic so far ive seen

[@evanhatampour5177]

You haven't. Element TD is a competitive tower defense. That is one reason for the interest rate mechanic that contris1 aptly highlights. It's hard to imagine but the grandfather of all mobile TDs (Flash Element TD) is actually based on a hardcore...not casual...TD.

[@Donschningo]

no he make so many mistakes ... he plays the game complete wrong

[@vermili0n]

Way back in the day wc3 online was my main game, most of the time I’d be playing tower defense. Elemental was really fun and I remember a pretty fun yugioh TD lmao those were the days, carefree kid playing wc3 all day

[@nephirin]

This was a blast to watch, you should totally upload more custom games like this, Grubby.

This strat is an innovation I didn't think I'd see.

[@stephanpetersen5947]

@@evanhatampour5177 I don't remember, but one of them was a sort of team td - back in 2006ish. You could deposit your gold to a bank which had an interest-rate-timer and then withdraw them :)

This looks like an incredibly unfun way of playing, I'm glad you enjoy but man TD for me is meant to be chill.

[@AbdulRahman-qc6tl]

Guys i've got it how to win while selling element tower. Your hand must be fast to make it. For sure will make it until level 60. - 1st Phase: Buy and sell like grubby for cannon or arrow. - 2nd Phase: After element tower received, you can change it with element tower. If the creeps are weak against any element you have, just change it to cannon/arrow. - 3rd Phase: most probably you have received all element level 1. Build the upgraded tower (like hydro tower for earth element) on the lowest part of the maps. So that you have time to buy and sell tower. 3rd Phase you can buy and sell element tower after the each creeps end. Build the tower that are strong against each creep. The flow of element creeps are as follows: Light Earth Nature Fire Water

[@DarkLosiu]

The knowledge and incredable skill u present with this video is so insane. Congratulations man, ur very good.

Can we make one day in the week with custom maps? :D Come on just one hour. Its so fun to watch!

[@ivobo6227]

[@malliendk]

yeah I can't watch this

[@mattferrigno9750]

Those golems are op.... 9k damage for only 1k gold is just insane since other 1k gold towers do like 1k dmg.... :)

[@herpderp2779]

I remember playing this over a decade ago. It looks like it hasn't updated since. The selling strat was something I used too, but only for the first several rounds. I would not be able to keep up with this apm at all, so after the first several rounds it becomes tedious. Instead, I would aim for using the least amount of money to clear waves. Building only 2 towers that were capable of clearing an entire wave, knowing what the elemental weaknesses are to save money on some waves, and knowing what combo towers are the most effective for their cost. A lot of strategy over apm, but essentially still utilizing that interest rate bonus as much as possible.

[@magikonkuiz]

are...are we even playing TD Grubby? I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS POSSIBLE

[@evanhatampour5177]

Ah, the forgotten days of hardcore TDs. People are so used to casual stuff these days. No worries, we'll be changing that in just a few months.

[@Fatlinek]

People that understand math always knew this is the way... others will never think of it..

[@Draqson]

I remember this mod well especially 2.0, also the interest-strat with selling your towers every 14secs, though I never went through with it that long. I remember Nova Tower + Tornado-tower combo, that kept all waves stuck and pretty much didnt take any skill or micro, you could alt-tab out of the game and only lose after a bunch of ronald waves when there are so many, that their hitboxes push eachother out of the blockade, at a stage where they pretty much didnt take any damage anymore.

[@BinFrost]

This game map is Very good!

[@jonbliss6396]

the people that make tower defenses simply don't get what made these maps fun: diversity in towers, many relatively easy waves with much income to do stuff. It's so sad that I cant find a standalone game that has that

[@ICA_Ghost]

does this work on the remastered version too?

[@fluffybacon]

This way of playing pretty much displays the brilliance on WC3. You put a lot of effort into a small (usually forgotten) detail, to get a small advantage, which eventually builds up and gives you a large advantage. Any plans to play more custom games? Perhaps some good old castle fight.

[@Kerim_I]

It's normal mode. I've played at least a thousand games of element td, everybody figured that out and we switched to the other modes where you only get 75 or 50 percent of your towers. In normal you don't even need these tricks if you know the map. Still a good video grubby

[@respectculture9959]

wtf.. fast hand!

[@MisterNightfish]

There's a different way to play this other than selling and rebuilding your basic towers? I thought everyone did that. Also, you can keep selling towers for longer if you rebuild tier 1 towers in advance. Those barely cost anything so you can prep that and then you can quickly upgrade them when you need them again.

[@tim1259]

it was definitely what everyone did. I guess the play-base just moved on after so long and the new players don't do it anymore.

[@master_jon]

[@onnislash1]

Hey, how do you play with other people with Warcraft 3 now? It used to be Garena for me but now anymore, I'm in the USA now. What's the popular server here?

[@ex0duzz]

I don't understand, why not get nonstop golems? They are so Imba and can move around, the towers you make don't seem to do anything compared to the golems. Also, golems are free or something? For how Imba they are, they don't seem to cost anything from what i remember? Edit: Yep if I played this game, after seeing this video I would mass golems and a few thorns plants for slow, then I would save up and get late game towers, whatever my golems lack or I need. There's no need for that interest rate hack, the other guy didn't do it and you only end up getting like 1000 extra after 30 mins, that's like quarter of a tower in late game. Grubby only lasted like two minutes longer than the other guy who didn't do it.

[@ThomasReichJ]

I was definitely yelling internally to just get more flesh golems. Almost every other thing he may felt totally pointless in comparison, and just building them distracted him from controlling the golems efficiently.

[@vinf.9233]

i use volcano tower and earthquake tower combo . then summoned viper

[@ShynyMagikarp]

It seems like at the later stages you are holding onto a lot of extra cash even though yopu were almost leaking. Don't you think you would've been better off building more flesh golems or one more slow? Or was that kinda greed trying to keep gold advantages?

[@ShynyMagikarp]

nevermind after you leaked kinda bad you buitla lot of golems :D

[@aduhaneh1057]

yes!! some custom maps.

[@Crimsie]

For someone who does impressive micro, I'm surprised Grubby doesn't know you can shift-build towers and do it even faster without having to spamming the shortcut over and over. Unless for some reason it doesn't work there. :o

[@javiertw89]

I guess at Grubby's APM it makes no difference. Also, if your builder is running to some place and you press shift + build tower, he's going to run where he was going and then come back and build the tower. To avoid this you should press b, shift, t, but if you miss it's a huge time loss, so it's probably easier to just do b, t for every tower you want to build.

[@javiertw89]

@@ilelly That sounds like a better explanation.

[@henkepro1]

Shift clicking build is alot slower since the animation for starting the building(undead animation) has a couple seconds before he moves on to next building. It is a great tool when you're lazy though or has low apm.

[@ex0duzz]

HCDarkie of course he knows. Probably just used to his way and doesn't need to do it faster in real melee games
