      Funny story, I did actually consider and discuss it with some people a few weeks back, but we had a hard time figuring out what could be in a "Smarter Enemies" mod but also still leave Kingdom Rush in a recognizable state.

    You indeed worked smarter AND harder than Ironhide. I hope other modders see this and incorporate your AI improvements in their own mods.

    • @DanQZ
      @DanQZ  11 днів тому +2

      Thanks! I think most of Ironhide's design decisions were intentional though; there's no way they didn't think about adding smart targeting. It's just a different preference in gameplay

    • @ParamecioLord

      @DanQZ True, as you said, they probably thought that this adds to the difficult and forces the player ato be more mindful of positioning and isolating certain types of enemies.

    Amazing idea and realization! It has forever been a pet peeve of mine that pretty much none of the big enemy removal abilities actually target big enemies and just default to basic furthest progressed.
    The ragers' poison having actual smart targetting but still wasting arrows because of their shooting speed is also something that bugged me for a long time.
    Artillery target densest is a nice touch, as well.
    Lovely work, I would love to try this out in game 💜

    "Introducing a new frontier of Kingdom Rush modding..."

    • @DanQZ
      @DanQZ  Місяць тому +7

      Yeah, there's all sorts of mods like all towers, and rebalancing mods, and mods with crazy new enemy waves and abilities. But those are, as far as I know, all numerical changes and reusing vanilla AI code. I have never heard of a mod that messes with AI before, so I think this a frontier of modding that nobody has ever gone down before.

    • @DanQZ
      @DanQZ  29 днів тому +2

      I think the games are balanced around the dumb AI, since you can to a certain extent manipulate enemy order using your units. However, that turns high level Kingdom Rush gameplay into a ton of "mitigate dumb AI" minigames, which I just don't think is fun.

    • @zackzoom8779
      @zackzoom8779 17 днів тому +1

      ​​​@@DanQZYeah, it's why the games are easier to beat, just by using towers that deal high damage to a single or multiple targets. Unique towers are not worth the effort to learn and use

      Voduke's Archives has links to decrypted game files which you can download, modify, then copy paste it into the steam .exe files using a program like 7zip. If youre interested in modding, Id highly recommend joining the server which I have linked in the description. There's a lot of people there who are very knowledgeable on all sorts of stuff.

      oh, i also wanted to see them smarter, bc their totem targeting is awful - totems get wasted very often bc they are just being put on the first enemy (the closest to the exit one) that axe throwers see in their range somewhere on the path.. so instead, the totem of weakness should priorities to be placed directly at chokepoints (at the densiest, like necromancer's plague) and the totem of silence on the spellcasters

    Kingdom rush gameplay is soo good, but the mechanics make it unsatisfying to master certain towers and heroes. Bosses aren't affected by abilities at all.
    Would be nice to be affected, but with reduced effect.

    10:45 Why not just put your archmages in the back and use your other towers to filter out weak enemies?

    • @DanQZ
      @DanQZ  Місяць тому

      That's a good idea to mitigate its overkill, but it unfortunately still means youre forced to make strange decisions based on bad ai. The archmage is by far best as a dps tower and not a leak catcher lol
