I KILLED GEM'S TD MILLION HP DAMAGE TEST

(note: i think the tagboard is at the bottom of the page now, the big screenshots i put up pushed it there . lol)

ok erm this post wont make any sense at all to 90% of my blog readers, the other 5% won't understand it, probably only 5% will appreciate it.

Ok just for the benefit of introduction, a Tower Defence is a type of custom map in Warcraft where you build towers to defend a particular endpoint from waves of creeps(monsters) which come level by level. Each level you get money as you monsters, and hence can build stronger towers , etc.

Gem Tower's Defence is by far one of the most fun tower defences i've ever played, and is definitely my favourite atm. What sets it apart from the usual TDs (besides poker TD which isn't half as fun) is its random factor - you don't control what gems specifically you get, it's randomly given. All you do is upgrade gem quality, to increase the chance of getting stronger gems, and choose whatever gems you want to keep (each round you get 5 random gems, can only keep 1) or combine (2 weaker gems combine to a stronger one).
It also has a unique ideal mazing structure, never seen before in other TDs.

And, every 14 levels there will be a damage test. This is a specially high HP creep that runs through your maze, and if you kill it you get bonus gold. (42 levels in game in total, so 3 damage tests) The HP of the final damage test used to be 500k, and with each version, its HP was increased, and currently stands at 1000000 (MILLION).

I've tried countless number of times before tonight to kill it, but my best was only dealing around 700~k damage to it.



BUT TONIGHT. I KILLED IT.
I took some screen caps to capture the momentous moment. (is there such a word as momentous)

As it prepares to leave my maze for the last time.. it's HP is already red (my maze makes the damage test go in and out 3 times in total)
