stample = statues + temple (changes with upgrades) ("stample" name credits to Nicholas Way)
Tower list
- Dart Monkey: Villager (spear thrower)
- Area of Effect: Melee Villager (axe)
- Long Range: Villager (archer, bow and traps )
- Magic Shooter: Stample of Sol (Sunna) - goddess of the Sun
- Explosive: Stample of Thor
- Support: Stample of Freyja
- Additional possible support tower that we would really love if we could get it in: Stample of Heimdall (watchman of the gods) to target camo balloons
Art note: Since statues will not rotate, they do not need to be drawn fully top-down (like monkey village from BTD5)
--------------
Different possible ways that our stamples will evolve:
- Statue → More fancy statue; phrase spending money to upgrade as "sacrificing gold to the gods"
- Simple shrine → fancier shrine → statue (with symbols to differentiate different gods)
- Temple → statue or statue → temple for upgrade
Possible Towers: Brainstorm
Tower Descriptions:
- Villager hunter (bow/crossbow?) Maybe upgraded like dart/ninja
- Villager Warrior – axe?
- Spearthrower for basic shooter? maybe the bow user could have greater range
- Shaman/mage for magic attacks
- Stamples to gods –
- Thor (damaging tower) - first upgrade - hammer-only, then upgrade to lightning? - aoe or explosive?
- Odin/Tyr (support towers?)
- Freyja - goddess of love, fertility, and battle - resource generation?; combination of a support tower and an attack tower; camo enemies? - banana farm equivalent?
- sif - goddess of the harvest - banana farm? - HARVEST NEEDS SHARP THINGS - attack tower??
- Sol (Sunna) - goddess of Sun
- Sigyn - wife to Loki, goddess of fidelity, would be narratively interesting to have her be a tower
- Heimdall - watchman of the gods - camo sight, increase range?
- Ullr - god of archery (sniper?)
- Kvasir - dead god associated with mead and beverage drinking (buffs to towers? slow down effects to enemies?)
- ANDREW IDEA: Since all our towers have a very limited upgrade path, what if the ability to see hidden enemies (camo) are instead granted by a tower? Place a sight-support tower nearby other offensive towers and all those towers obtain the ability to see hidden balloons
- The upgrade path for these increases range
- a wolf (wolverine?) (wolvey?)
