6:57 I’d like to imagine while we are playing a tower defense game the blooms are playing an automation game.So the blooms work to get progressively more efficient at making blooms while the monkeys make stronger defenses to stop them and I don’t know if it’s just me but that sounds like a really fun multiplayer game.

some of these facts are just so cute and makes me love this game even more

[@KuroroSama42]

Sauda and Pat getting range can make sense. They learned techniques that allow for hitting at full strength while reaching further away. For Sauda, maybe she practiced to change her grip on the swards/axes to grab the hilt further down instead. For Pat, maybe he can put more strength in his fingertips, whereas he used to only do palm hits.

I really want to see non monkeys return. BTD5's agents were a fantastic addition to gameplay and were really nice visually to keep the world interesting to know creatures besides Monkeys live there. Like Pterodactyls. And Snowmen. And Mutant Squirrels. I could see how the old agent leveling system leaned a bit too much on Monkey Money and Micro-Transactions. Maybe if we're lucky we can see some non monkey/machine towers. I would honestly love to see what, if any lore, that NK uses when making BTD. It's probably none since this series is over a decade old and there is genuinely no story

[@BeDatAPickle]

[@rainbow_vader]

That glue glitch got me thinking, I really feel like they should let multiple types of glue affect a bloon at once, at the very least it could be MK. Glue from all three paths could affect a bloon, slow and DPS is taken from the glue with the highest stat of other kind and don't stack (i.e. if a bloon is hit with both dissolver glue and corrosive MOAB glue, you'd get the DPS from the bloon dissolver and the slow from the MOAB glue while the slow from the dissolver glue and the DPS from the corrosive MOAB glue are ignored.) The glue override mechanic will remain in the way that glue from higher tiers in a path overrides glue from the lower tiers of the same path (i.e. 4-x-x glue will have higher priority than 3-x-x glue and below but it will not affect glue from other paths.) I also feel like if they didn't go with either making it a permanent feature or MK another option is that glue types could only stack on MOABs since they're big and could easily take 3 different glue blobs whereas normal bloons are too small to be coated in so much glue. You could argue that would be more balanced anyway since no bloon would stand a chance against essentially being attacked by 5-5-5 glue... which does remind me a glue paragon will one day be a thing and I might just have my dreams come true. Either that or I'm gonna have to learn how to make mods lol

Huh, the more you know

[@personlol3099]

i have 2 facts (both relating to dart and super) for if you make another one of these 1: if you go into a monkey teams game with dart allowed and super not allowed, using geraldo's worn heroes cape on a dart monkey will cause you to lose the monkey teams 2: upgrading a X-4-X dart monkey to X-5-X while the ability is active will have nothing happen until the ability is over (doesnt change appearence, still throws darts instead of shooting plasma, etc)
