85.4 is amazing, 100 soon but i realy reccoment the speed hack, you can win with it and id hate to see the best game ruined becasue you have more mana income than you can possibly spend

perhaps when you fail to spend all the mana, maybe it's better to stop raising the multiplayer for the sake of it, and create grade 20 gems, huh?

i could create a grade 20...but it takes too long to be practical-grade 15-18 are better right now.
...
half the reason i'm increasing the multiplier, is it also increases the mana pool; the larger i get it, the more laps the final monsters can take before they kill me.
plus, it increases the score gain.

average mana gain rate: a little less than 100k/frame.
average frames to make a grade 11: at least 3.

It seems that i left it running some during the night. only about 3-5 waves of defence building loss, no big deal-lately, i've been loosing that kind of time to goofing around (ie, tossing inventories of grade 1 gem bombs just to be silly-it keeps it fun enough to continue).

I hope you find a way to keep your brother from closing out your game.

wow. faractal, you're kinda bad at this.
you definitely under angered.
I looked back at your progress, and you had 38 bil score and 1k mana on wave 113. I got these stats already on wave 88. wow. and all the tower and trap slots are filled with grade 12-13 prismatics.

Trust me. You under angered.

I under-angered intentionally, and with good reason; as it is, this is going to take me at least a week, likely two. much more angering, and I would have taken two weeks or so just to get to wave 100.

I have an intel corrie duo processor T6400...and it's on a laptop, so i have to stop fairly frequently to prevent overheating.

it doesnt matter how much i anger, # of prismatix X 5 = number of monsters that will never move so if i have 80 prismatics i could have 400 monsters with 800m hp and theyd never move an inch, i estimate ill be around wave 80 with 15b score and i dont lie when i say not 1 monster has made it to my tower ever, you say ur like 38b at wave 88 well ill be about 20b by then but im kinda a nub and i want a fast game cuz im afraid of my game closing so you prolly are slightly mroe experience and slightly an only child or something yayformeee

they shuold add option to save game in middle of a round like for those 30+ hour games

Say, yayformeee, how far did you manage to get, wave-wise, and what kind of score did you end with?


Anywaves, er, anyways, here's an update on my own progress:

ehmm

Actually, is there any possibilty to win, if I angered more than 25 times on single wave? Even if I have all traps R/O and grade 10/11 towers?

If not, 10-13 times angered is good enough? or not?

surfthenet, that will be a lot of trouble... even if that wave you have angered 25 times had zero armor, it will have 1032 armor, which is a very high value, even if not taking those HPs into account. You will need no less than grade 12 L/Y (R/Y, */Y in fact) towers to even try to defeat this amount, and a real lot of grade 8 L/P for some places where your grade 12s will be wasted because of them attacking monsters that will be banshed before their attack lands. Of course, some traps will have to be changed for R/Ps.

Speaking about *ANY* possibility - that depends on initial armor, if it was higher than 10, then no I think, if lower, then perhaps there is, you are to stop raising multiplier and build defences.

10-13 times... well, for 10-11 grade towers this is abit on the lower side... my last battle (13M exp, whew) has its last wave #40 angered 14 times with grade 11 gems (abit low in fact), 315 monsters, 170 armor and 290k HP, but I had too much of other undispatched monsters around... 1800 is too big, I am risking some monsters to leak amassing huge banishment costs. Some previous waves were angered 15 times, still too low I think, but I am plain afraid angering 20 times.

fractalman, you give me the creeps... 102.6 multiplier *faints* My last battle had only 18... well that was a normal type of battle and you are fighting GoE's full power, but nevertheless...

I have done some dumb things in my life, but this takes the cake. I ran one of those "clean-up" programs that came with System Mechanic, and it erased my saved game file. I even did a system restore (to the previous day) and it wasn't there. Just a word of caution to anyone thinking about doing a clean-up and not having the game saved to a separate file. Thankfully, I was only at level 49, so I didn't have a ton of time invested. Also, a couple of "noob" questions: I hear you guys talk about "angering" the monsters...what is that and what do you gem-bomb, the monsters themselves or the building they come out of?? Also, can you place a higher grade gem in the same trap that you have a lower grade gem in or once placed, is that trap not "up-gradeable" anymore?
