Really nice game
Really nice game.
My only problem with it is I can't help thinking that the elite units are a little too weak. For instance... the archers great against flying units... but then by the time you can afford him there may only be one or two waves left of flying units left. Similarly with the alchimest, who's good against swarms(i wouldn't say great) but there are so few swarms I feel he is somewhat not worth the cost.
When I think I could have 10 - 15 mages for the price of one of these guys they do pale in comparison.
That out of the way, this is an extremly strategic game. I found I had to build from the back to allow my units an equal distribution in power which was interesting (as in most defence games you can upgrade anyone in the battle field). The names were a nice touch as was the map and the little details you put in. The skills were also interesting, I guess not original (as most defence games have tech) but certainly done in an interesting way.
Perhaps a double speed button would be good. But I wouldn't implement a multiple wave button as some have suggested (think how strong the alchemests would become then in comparison to other units).
