Gameplay:
Monsters are invading the castle. The King has hired you, a mere engineer, to fortify the defenses. There are various towers you can build to stop the enemy. Each tower is unique and comes with its own speciality. They can also be upgraded to cause more damage, to be faster, and to have more range. The monsters attack in waves and get stronger with each wave. Also, as a reward, the King agrees to pay you a sum of money for each monster you kill, and also a bonus at the end of each wave. Good luck!

The Castle:
The castle is a strong and sturdy structure, but the people inside are not so durable. If a monster gets into the castle, a life will be lost. At the start of the game you and your teammates can select the difficulty.

Mode Easy Normal Hard Pro	Lives 200 100 50 5

Everyone can vote on the difficulty. Whichever mode has the most votes will win. If it is a tie, the lowest tying difficulty is selected. When everyone has pressed the Ready button, the game will start. If no vote is cast on the difficulty, the game will start at Normal mode.

Installation:
Requires Unreal Tournament 2004 patched to the latest version to play.
To install the game, double-click the TowerDefense.ut4mod file,
OR
extract the TD.zip file into UT2004 directory.
When you extract the TD.zip file, make sure it appears as follows:

C:\UT2004 <--- main game directory
C:\UT2004\TD\ <---- TD directory
C:\UT2004\TD\Animations\
C:\UT2004\TD\Help\
C:\UT2004\TD\Maps\
C:\UT2004\TD\Music\
C:\UT2004\TD\Sounds\
C:\UT2004\TD\StaticMeshes\

C:\UT2004\TD\tdrun.bat
C:\UT2004\TD\tdserverstart.bat
C:\UT2004\TD\readme.txt

That is how its supposed to look like. If you get C:\UT2004\TD\TD\ and then all the subfolders in there, then you should move all the stuff inside the second TD folder to the first TD folder.

Uninstall:
To uninstall TD, simply delete the TD directory.

		Arrow Tower The castle's basic line of defense, it is an inexpensive method of stopping the attackers. Can be upgraded to shoot deadly poison arrows, which shave the life off foes depending on their current hit points. Initial attack: Normal Arrows Special: Poison Arrows - Percentage damage over a period of 7 seconds - Loses base damage Building Cost: 50 Gold
Level	Cost	Power	Cost	Speed	Cost	Range	Cost	Special
1	0	50	0	1	0	1500	1500	1.0%
2	75	150	25	2	15	2500	2500	2.0%
3	150	400	-	-	30	3500	4000	4.0%

		Ice Tower Magicians of the frigid arts imbued their spiritual powers into these snowy structures. The Ice Tower fires bolts of cold energy, slowing enemies down. With additional research, these bolts can be upgraded into an icy blast that hits and slows groups of monsters greatly. Initial attack: Ice Bolt - Single Target; Reduces movement speed to 50/35/25% for 3 seconds Special: Ice Blast - Area Effect; Reduces movement speed to 50/35/25% for 3 seconds. Can attack specifically targeted area. Building Cost: 25 Gold

2	25	50	50	1	50	2500	1000	750
3	50	100	-	-	-	-	1500	1200

		Fire Tower Gaining the cooperation of the neighbouring towns' blacksmiths, they and the castle's high wizards combined their talents to create a fiery force to rival that of volcanoes. This tower emits a jet of blazing fire on creatures that dare pass its range. Initial attack: Flamethrower (Area Damage Effect) Special: Can attack specifically targeted area. Building Cost: 500 Gold
Level	Cost	Power	Cost	Speed	Cost	Range	Cost	Special

3	3500	1200	-	-	-	-	-	-

		Crystal Tower Great crystalline statues were carved by ancient powers to store vast amounts of power. Only recently discovered, these monoliths exhibit awesome energies that even the most masterful of the arcane arts can merely utilize a fraction of the Crystal Tower's full fury. Initial attack: Crystal Beam Special: Divine Lance Building Cost: 350 Gold
Level	Cost	Power	Cost	Speed	Cost	Range	Cost	Special
1	0	600	0	0.5	0	2000	7000	10000

		Boulder Tower Geomancy had been a forbidden art of the kingdom, but desperate times sought the assistance of Nature. The call was answered by stones of benevolence, and boulders of crushing mercilessness. The Boulder Tower roots itself in the ground and casts an arm of hardened earth on its enemies. Initial attack: Boulder Punch - Single Target; 20% chance to stun enemy for 2 seconds Special: Boulder Smash - Area Effect; 20% chance to stun enemies for 2 seconds Building Cost: 150 Gold
Level	Cost	Power	Cost	Speed	Cost	Range	Cost	Special
1	0	550	0	0.5	0	550	1000	800
2	300	1000	125	1	-	-	7500	2000
3	700	3000	-	-	-	-	20000	5000

		Portal Tower Space and Time magic is one of many forbidden arts. The reason was the unpredictability of the effects on its subjects, and the minds of its practitioners. Still, the Portal Tower proved effective in displacing monsters temporarily, despite unusual side effects. Initial attack: None Special: Dimensional Prison - Automatic 3% chance to capture any monster on the field - holds a monster for a maximum of 10 seconds - probability increases of monster being released as it continues to be held - owner receives 50% of monster's worth in gold per second - cant attack the creature while its in the cage - creature will be released on one of the spawn points and will move twice the normal speed towards the castle - monster that is caught cannot be caught again Building Cost: 1500 Gold

		Trebuchet Short-range tactics had ease of simplicity, but long-range tactics had yet to be employed. The Trebuchet kept the castle's defenders safely inside their walls while the attackers were left dodging hail after hail of fiery rocks. Initial attack: Fireball (Area Effect Damage) Special: Can attack specifically targeted area. Minimum range 4000, maximum range 5200. Building Cost: 7500 Gold

Monsters:
-25 waves of monsters
-Hit points of creatures increase with each wave
-Every 5 waves of monsters are bosses that have a large number of hit points
-They spawn at 1 of the 4 locations (or more depending on number of players in game) and travel towards the castle
-You cannot block them by building towers in their paths
-Each monster you kill earns you a bit of gold; there is also a large sum of gold given to each player for each round completed

Tips:
-Best to start off with a few Arrow Towers and upgrade them
-Have Ice Towers covering most of the paths to slow the enemies
-It is recommended to upgrade speed rather than power sometimes because its cheaper and sometimes more effective
-Click on creatures to see their health graphically
-Teamwork is very important, if the castle's health becomes 0, everyone loses, so please play cooperatively
