Unlike other towers so far, this one doesn&#8217;t attack, but instead it boosts nearby towers. Like the other towers in the game, elemental gems can be added to these boost towers to give various effects. Some examples of boosts include:<\/p><ul><li>Adds a chance to have an attack double fire.<\/li><li>Increases the range of boost towers.<\/li><li>Increases the range of attacking towers.<\/li><li>Adds a chance to have a single target attack do AOE damage on hit.<\/li><li>etc.<\/li><\/ul><p>With the addition of the array of elemental boost towers, the number of defensive options are getting quite large and allows for a great amount of creativity.

To this point, there have been just a few attributes that I have been able to be tweak, such as hit points, speed, and elemental resistances. Introducing more abilities to make each of the invader types more unique seemed important. New invader abilities that have been developed:<\/p><ul><li><span>Armored: a portion of the invaders hit points are in the form of armor. This armor regenerates if the invader has not take damage in a while. Added to minotaur and ogres.<\/span><\/li><li><span>Bolster: periodically the invader will stop, and shout, giving an AOE armor to near by invaders. Added to golems. <\/span><\/li><li><span>Sprinting: If the invader has not recently taken damage, they have a 50% speed boost. Added to demons.<\/span><\/li><li><span>Shielding: When shielded, the invader completely blocks the next attacks damage and effect. If the invader has not taken damage very recently, they regen their shield back. Added to devils.<\/span><\/li><li>Swarming: Spawns with lower level counterparts. The invader constantly refreshes a shield until its swarming lower level companions are dead. Added to high level hell spiders.<\/li><\/ul><p>In addition, at higher levels, I&#8217;ve introduced the concept of mixed waves. This can result in interesting combinations, for example, where you can have golems bolstering a shielding demons.<\/p><p>The next invader item I want to work on is bosses. Currently the sub boss and boss are the same on all islands.

Civilians would take too long to get initial supplies to where the colony was to be started, they would freeze to death by the time they attempted to make long resource drops, etc. After my play testers shamed me, I made some important updates.

Research allows limiting the large number of buildings and jobs initially\u00a0 available, slowly letting the player add and understand them. In addition, as researching takes a citizen to work a research lab, and therefor offers yet another task to balance and potentially focus on, to the detriment of something else.<\/p><p>So a new research system was developed, taking care to avoid the concerns I had with introducing a system. It was initially setup for the\u00a0 existing building and resources. To start with, only a few new researched benefits were added.
