Hello there,
We added the final story mission in this update. This is the reason why it took so much time. This level contains A LOT of new features. This is supposed to be the grand boss battle of all boss battles in all TD games. We hope players will get great experience by playing this level (after we add final graphics). For now it is just interesting. Mission 15 contains 3 phases.
Phase 1 is a classic mission with 2 small features. One road leads to the screen corner. It is the way to lose lives and lose a mission. Another road leads to the hole. Enemies who gets there do not take your lives, but feed the ancient worm instead by themselves. It increases health of the Boss in Phase 3.
If the ancient worm doesn't get meal for some time, then it screams and covers towers in the middle area with snow cocoons. Towers got stunned until a cocoon is active. Cocoons have a lot of health, so they can entirely disable your defenses. Players should balance entire game between killing enemies or letting them reach the hole to keep the ancient worm calm. Kinda unique experience in TD games.
Phase 2 starts when all waves are finished. The ancient worm and Bird Boss (from World #4) mutated into a huge mutant. This is your main enemy now! To pass Phase 2 you need to destroy 7 orange eggs and destroy the boss head.
When an orange egg dies it spawn a strong wave of egg-like mobs. These eggs transform into strong creatures upon death. Also, the worm spawns strong yeti waves which get stronger with each minute. So, if player won't destroy all eggs as soon as possible and the head in time he will lose.
After that the hardest part starts. Initial boss health on normal difficulty is 350'000 health points. This amount is increased with the game difficulty and how much enemies were leaked into the hole in Phase 1. For example, developers faced the boss with 588k health points! By the way, the first enemy in AoD universe had only 25 health. So, the boss is really tough to kill.
Boss in this phase is the mutated tongue of the ancient worm. He moves very slow towards an exit. It eats people on towers and produce different mutants. It has fear aura which lower attack speed of nearby units. Finally it perform global stun ability every 15 seconds.
Boss spawns infinite waves of mutant waves from a tentacle in the right side of mission. When enemies from this path reaches the Boss when they will teleport to the place in front of him. So, the closer the boss to the end, the tougher the fight becomes. Player should use all his AoD experience to deal with it. You can do it.
We added 13 mobs special for this mission. So, we hope, you will enjoy it. And it will be the great end of Age of Defense journey. Yeah, you will see the final cut-scene, it is also pretty funny.
Finally, we added a new menu, Mini tutorials. Players will get notifications during the game what they have unlocked new mini tutorial. It is a small cartoon movie which explain some game mechanics. We have started with 5 of them and will add more in future.
Also we want to share with you our next plans. First of all, we are going to replace current skill system with a huge skill tree. And we will add 3 modes for each mission. Finally, each mission will get unique requirement (an achievement) like in Warstone. After that we will add New Balance for the rest of the game. Wait for the announcement. We will post update preview soon.
