I have improved the procedural tower scripts quite a bit and added a variety of extra features. They now will attempt to generate doors to rooftops whenever possible, treasure chests will remain locked until their accompanying hero is defeated, heroes will not respawn after being defeated, and the tower in its entirety will be awarded to the player in the event of all monsters within being cleared.
Note that the basic monsters will respawn between play sessions unless the tower is fully cleared. That however, like all things, is open to discussion and change.
I'm going to be updating the cave systems to work more like the new procedural tower system and limit their depth similar to the new towers so that they only go 5-30 "rooms" deep, spawn monsters and heroes, and have more kinds of loot in them.
