The wall would be 2x6 made up of 3 different segments and face whatever way the Farmer is facing. The wall last 2 seconds with a 350 cast range, and 150 cd.  Walls will not spawn on top of units or in areas they cannot normally be built.

Levels 8-10 require a merchant

Level 1
0 damage-10 seconds during day or 15 seconds for night before becoming level 2, or a 100 wood upgrade.
Level 2
5 damage 650 range-30 seconds during the day or 45 seconds during the night before becoming level 3, or a 150 wood upgrade.
Level 3
10 damage 675 range-50 seconds during the day or 60 seconds during night before becoming level 4, or a 200 wood upgrade.
Level 4
15 damage 700 range-90 seconds during the day or 120 seconds during night before becoming a level 5, or a 250 wood upgrade.
Level 5
20 damage 725 range-105 seconds during the day or 135 seconds during the night before becoming a level 6, or a 300 wood upgrade.
Level 6
25 damage 750 range-120 seconds during the day or 150 seconds during the night before becoming a level 7, or a 350 wood upgrade.
Level 7
30 damage 775 range-135 seconds during the day or 165 seconds during the night before becoming a level 8, or a 400 wood upgrade.
Level 8
40 damage 800 range-150 seconds during the day or 180 seconds during the night before becoming a level 9, or a 450 wood upgrade.
Level 9

Level 10
50 damage 850 range-Has a mana pool of 300
Total Time required for Day=14.5 minutes
Total Time required for Night=18 minutes
Total Lumber Cost=2600

This would be done with mana. So the tower gains 1 mana per second and has 10-210 mana pool depending on the level of the tower. At level 8-10 the tower can use mana for extra damage attack.
Note: Their would be two buttons on the towers, one for mana upgrade and another one for wood upgrade.


Merchant-45 gold 150 wood
Its a merchant.

ARC-45 gold 1250 wood
Can research Expert Hunter Training, Love aura, special fertilizer, mad growth.  Does not require merchant.
Expert Hunter Training-45 gold 2000 wood
Expert Hunter Training-Gives hunter Man's best friend ability
Love aura-Costs 2000 wood-Gives the farmer an aura that increases attack speed and armor of towers and walls.
Love Arua-Gives 5% attack speed bonus, and 2 armor in 400 AoE.
Special Fertilizer-costs 1500 wood.
Special Fertilizer-Reduces growing time by 15 seconds for all towers.  This is done by upping the mana the regen.  This also speeds up the mana regen for mega towers allowing their ability to trigger more often.
Mad growth -cost 35 gold 1500 wood: Only if the wall throw escape is used.  would throw out upgraded walls in a 3by3 pattern.  Could be used to trap titan or minion if positioned correctly since walls will not grow where titan is standing/areas where they cannot normally be placed.

SUPER TOWERS
Spiny Protector
Aura Tree
?-135 gold 2500 wood 1 food
Depending on the time of day depends on the attack. When attacking during the day the tower fires ? burning the Titan over 5 seconds for 50 damage a second. Has a 4 sec cooldown on attack and does 75 chaos damage. During the night the tower has a 5 second cd, but since its cold the tower has a 10% chance to bash and does 150 chaos damage.
When held as an item it gives the user a incinerate attack(starts off at 1 damage and doubles each attack after that) during the day and at night gives an ice attack, that slows by 30%.

Change Log:
11/6/08-Posted
11/6/08- forgot a few things. 
11/10/08-Changed Towers

[o(O.Oo)]

Completely orginal idea.

I can't find any imba parts other than you don't have to risk your life to try and back wall the titan.

[Zen1400]

Was meant to be about 200-300 range casting so you can be nuked and hit depending on the circumstances.

[o(O.Oo)]

Would there be a point in having HP for the walls if they just last 2 seconds? Or is it required to be used. IMO the titan won't have a quick enough reaction to turn around.
Also how much would be the mana upgrades for the walls be? extra .5 a second per upgrade? And with the special fertalizer skill. If you get that and build a level 1 tower would it automatically be level 2?

[Zen1400]

It's so the walls can be killed easier than most. Well the mana regen would be increased so it wouldn't start off at 2 it would just take a few seconds to be ready to be upgraded.

[Eji1700]

YOUR A FUCKING MOD?!!!!?!??!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To make this slightly more helpful, 1. Congrats. 2. I wonder if we should flesh out the super towers.

[Xx_Jewbacca_xX]

Only thing I find odd is his harvester. Should not be like a peasent, because peasents are like farmhands and the builder is a farmer? I get it being like a treant though.

And, one more thing. The whole idea of Island Defense is Animals which inhabited the titans island. Im sure since the builder came on a ship, it might count... but it kind of might ruin the feeling. you know? a bunch of animals and 1 or 2 farmers... Anyways, the idea is great. If it isnt accepted, you may want to try making an animal builder. Im sure this or another creation of your will be accepted.

well when looking at it darox wont dismiss it soley because its a farmer, if he likes it he will take the idea and give it to an animal, so it doesnt really matter

[Xx_Jewbacca_xX]

Yea i figured Darox would morph it into an animal if accepted

[Defcon_5]

Skin = Dryad.  Problems solved.

[Fergrr]

I say keep the panic and wall ability

it would be good for walling in minis

wonderful idea

Clever builders but (sorry) the model is used already

don't judge me for that^please

-Ferg

[Zen1400]

?

[Fergrr]

?

i would say the main concept of what that meant was to keep the PANIC ability
and the INSTANT WALL ability
sorry if i was unclear Zen

[o(O.Oo)]

where is the model used already?

[Zen1400]

I was asking about the model because last time I checked this was the first human based idea.

[Deleth]

No Humans on the island, come on, they didnt fit.

[jadegolem]

The farmer told me
"Hi, my name is Bob"

[Zen1400]

I have no particular care for the "flavor" of the builder.

either way it's a freaking model it can change.

[Deleth]

And again no, simply and totaly no.
And a 6x6 fruit tree? That would be 36 fields, thats really big.

[Zen1400]

You know reading helps. It gives 144 food. And yet again

MODELS DONT MATTER NOW.

Darox still waiting for your opinion.

[Deleth]

Its still huge, sry but your builder didnt fit in island defense. I hope he wont be implemented.

One of the stupidest moves you can make: insulting a moderator.

Im not insulting him, i simply say what i think about his builder. And a human didnt fit.

[Zen1400]

I ignored the post since really
A) he was obviously going to just keep arguing over model
B) Could care less about me being insulted over the Internet.

I got to agree that the human model doesn't fit.
