Rooks Towers

from Demigod Forums

I think that the rooks raise tower ability needs a revamping. The towers currently are to weak. They need to actually do damage that accumulates not the barly noticable amount that they do now. There HP is paper thin and I believe that they have a time limit????????? I have tried to get 5 up at once but they seem to just sink back into the ground when I get my 3rd one up and running..... I thought the tool tip said activate up to 5 at a time.......... I would love the rook to be more than just rook roll hammer slam. A turtling style with towers that are actually effective would be an interesting approach to the rook. As the tower stand right now they are pretty much useless because an opposing demigod can just walk right into a fortified area of rook towers and hardly brake a sweat.

Another way to improve this ability would be to give the rook a passive that increases structures HP and Attack power. This would make the towers he pulls out of the ground a little bit more of an option.

Oh, like the Titan in Kingdoms!

Plus it would make just dropping 5 towers and leaving less powerful, I like it.

One of the bigger things holding these towers back though is the fact that they do last only about 45 seconds.

Low damage be damned, they really need to last a lot longer.

 

Even at low damage, you can still use them to "Bridge the gap" between some towers that are outside of reach of each other, pulling truly powerful towers otherwise unlinked into the battle, but the limited duration makes this all but impossible to use as a viable strategy.

 

Likewise, as others have said, you can't get more than a small handful up at a time.  Not even close to the limit of 5.

 

I say, they should remove the duration on the towers, then start tweaking damage up from there.  They can still be used as a chain to connect into the main tower supply, but not if they can't last forever.

They should gain strength when they are close :D

I really want this power to be useful. Hopefully the team at GPG can make this happen.

Hey all,

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. We are definitely looking into the Rook's Towers. In fact, based on this feedback we've put him in the shop to get some love that not only will make his Towers more powerful as you purchase additional level but also have his shoulders/trebuchet grow in strength as you purchase additional levels.

Keep it coming!

Awesome, can't wait to try out a turtling strat with him!

Bringing my base right into the other team sounds like a ton of microing fun.
