So. Boyfriend left his Warcraft3 open so I decided to hop on and play some TDs and whatnot. It's probably been more than a year since I bad-touched any.

So I eventually find 'Element TD Public Beta 4' - "YES!" I cry out. I love Element TD!

Well, I got my ass handed to me.

Whether it's because I noobed it up or not, I still had a good time, and decided to check out the website posted on the loading screen, since it mentioned the site has strategies, and I needed a little refresher on the towers anyway. (no I didn't forget Water needs Light to turn Ice... cough)

But one thing I did notice was the uselessness of my arrow towers - there was no Air! So while browsing the site, I came across the FAQ... and this...!



WHAT !! D:

You mean they didn't just.. remove it or something!?



Everything I have ever known about Element TD was a lie! :(

PS: Now looking at old maps still on the drive, they were called "Element TD Survivor" but still! trying to relearn everything and I still haven't been able to beat all levels. It is definitely the lack of Air levels. ;(

Edit: just some info for those that may be confused or never played it:

TD = Tower Defense, a type of custom map for WarCraft3. Basically you build towers to kill the mobs that spawn before they "exit" and cause you to lose lives. ElementTD you use Towers with an element theme, like fast fire towers, you eventually get elements and you can combine them, like Fire + water can make Vapor like towers that have special abilities, etc.

ElementTD has been around quite awhile, and apparently I hadn't been playing the "official" version, and I was pretty surprised, since I always saw/joined the maps with the air levels. This is where basically the monsters that spawn are "Flying", and only certain towers could do damage to them.
