Builders

[SgtWaffles]

Hey, i was thinking the other day, this site definately needs a page where people can see all builders and titans, what they can / cant do, and any related strategy guides.
i think this would make this site far more useful, as a site about island defense that doesnt have any mention of what builders that are actually implemented in the game ... it's a bit silly??

if possible can we put a tab somewhere that says Builders / Titans or something, it shows the layout of the ships / cage / fire pit and you can click on one of them, and it brings up a page of stats, eg - buildings, spells costs etcetc and then at the bottom a link to any relevant strategy guides based on that builder.

i know this is a large task, but it is absolutely necessary for this website. a site on island defense needs to have more about the game. especially in times like this when we are losing numbers.

people who play ID once, die quickly, look for strategy / ideas, cant find any clearly set out, and so decide, oh this is gay lets never do that game again.
dont tell me these arent the people we want playing this game, but rather lets try to give people the resources they need to succeed in this game??

I feel spending time to read about all their ability and stats is a really shitty way of learning.  Trial and error all the way.

Quite honestly, the game is not hard to learn.  Everything is really basic, and many of the things are the same for almost all builders and titan. 

What you are proposing is a really huge task, and you'll have a hard time finding someone enthusiastic enough to do it. 

In addition, it does not guarantee that the population will go booming again.  I doubt many people that are rage quitting from their first game have tried to seek guidance.

Sadly I already volunteered to do it, buttt it go shut down cuz pep didnt want it  You can check the thread in this section called expand the site. I was willing to do it, however now I am not sure how much time I have but who knows.

[PaperClip]

We used to have something like that back in the other site and when there was an actual front page

But who cares, it's too much work for the small amount of visitors this place gets

[SgtWaffles]

yes trial and error is a good way to start kyleep, but to be honest, i learnt by clicking on mag and dying once, then coming here, reading a strat, talkin to a mate then i could just go mag, wall the mound and sit around doin nothing, watching other people play the other builders to learn how to play them.

but i mean it is pretty basic shit to have a list of ID builders on an ID site??
it seems to just scream common sense ...

I could make something like this with some basic jQuery if anyone really wants it.  Replace "Skills" with escape abilities and such, and then make clicking the portrait lead to a specific manual page.

you know, if adam gives me FTP access.

Sickle why was your offer to do something like this turned down?

if you were prepared to do it, and it would've helped our site it would seem like a great addition to me??

[sickle]

It wasn't. 

I'm working on a beta right now.  I'm going out for tonight, then I may finish it if I drink enough caffeine and I get a programming rush.

Took you one week this time, next time it will take you 4 days. Every time you learn a new builder, it gets easier to learn the rest.
