Flash Elemental TD - Tower Defense
Play Here: Flash Element TD
Game Developer: David Scott
This is another brilliant flash tower defense. I am pleased that flash developers are FINALLY taking notice of this gaming genre. Various Warcraft 3 online tower defenses have been uses as templates for creature names, graphics and sound.
The game itself is fairly in depth. You can build arrow, cannon, air, fire, earth, water and rocket towers. All towers have clearly defined abilities, damage, range and upgrades. You can also use lumber in order to research elements or increase your interest rate.

My highest score so far is 63rd with a little over 19k points. I think I can hit 30k without too much trouble but 300k might be a problem. I’ll bet the top 2 users are exploiting a bug or something.

The sounds effects are great. WC3 has so many interesting sound clips. My favorite is the female elf voice that says. “I will attract them with my human call. I’m so wasted, I’m so wasted!”

I think David has been adjusting a few things today. The same tactic I used Yesterday isn’t working as well.
January 12th, 2007 at 7:36 am
I just got 27k using a cannon, air and fire tower strategy. There is still a lot of room for improvement.
January 12th, 2007 at 7:50 am
Lol, these guys are crazy..
Yesterday 63th with 19k Points, now 65th with over 26000 ^^
January 12th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
can somebody post a picture???
i only got 1,8K points I suck lol
January 13th, 2007 at 1:31 am
I just made 43rd with 33k points. I don’t want to give away my building strategy until I think I have maxed it out. I will tell you I use most of my lumber for increasing income rather than tower research.
January 13th, 2007 at 3:58 am
I have passed all bonus levels and only accumulated 10,000pts?!?!?!?
How the hell would you ever get 40k?
I use only fire towers and upgrade them to the max…. I need help.
January 13th, 2007 at 7:24 am
i lost lives when i am in the 4th bonus round
i have only rocket towers :/
January 13th, 2007 at 12:17 pm
I don’t even use rocket towers. I would rather have 25% interest on my gold with the ability to build fire towers.
January 13th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
It is important to only build as many towers as is absolutely necessary to kill the entire wave. This way you are conserving gold to make interest and points on. By the last level I usually have around 20k gold.
January 13th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
i think some water towers would be good to slow the waves
January 13th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
nope, water is wasted wood..
For Level 1-5 you need only one cannon on the right side, who can shoot to both sides. Each level one upgrade and the 4th level without nothing..
The first Air-Level can be done with only one Upgraded Air-Tower, one normal on between the top roads. Then destroy them and build more Cannons on the right side. Its a good spot, because you can shoot at the monsters two times.
With your wood you reseach first two times interest, increasing the percentage and first with your third wood explore fire and build them on the same place. Don’t forget to destroy the old cannons, you don’t net them anymore. Be careful with the fast-Levels, for them you need more Fire-Towers, don’t care about immune or air levels.
Just update them once, building new ones is better then upgrade to lvl2.
I got 8 Cannons for Level 19-21, 8 Fire for 29, 30 for the third bonus level. Then you can upgrade them one time more and build up to 50 for the last level, that would be fine..
Thats all you gotta know, have fun
January 13th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
That’s a good strategy very similar to what I am doing. How many points do you end up with?
January 14th, 2007 at 8:13 am
what do u mean with the right side??
January 14th, 2007 at 8:32 am

choose one of these
for the first air-level: http://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wc31sr2.jpg update the right one and perhaps one goes trough, but that doesnt matter
@duileen
best score was 31234. now less time, write my exams tomorrow..
January 14th, 2007 at 9:24 am
hm i scored 11297
rank 948
with your strategy
i dont know what you do in which level so
i had 10 canons or 12 in level 21
1 air in the first air levdl
5air in the second air level
i dont know how much fire i had exactly in the last level
about 40??or 50
i dont know really much
i lost 2 lives but i dont know in which level
January 14th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
10 or 12 cannons in level 21 are simply too much. i loose about 10-15 lives, while trying to build as less as possible. loosing 2 lives shows, that you are still build more than you need, like these 2-4 cannons on level 21. building exactly what needed is the key to win..
January 14th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
I agree. I only end up with around 8 cannon towers and 2.5 air towers before moving on to the much stronger fire towers. It seems like I made more gold upgrading fire 4th instead of 3rd though. I’ll have to test it.
January 14th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
do you upgrade them generally to level 3 or like me first at the last two levels?
January 14th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
I build one then upgrade it as needed. Then I will build additional towers as needed and do the same thing.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not but sell your air towers after you finish the air level.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:20 am
Hmm, I think I like the new version with Boss-Levels:

My high scores are in the 80,000’s.
Just keep upgrading interest. All you need to but/upgrade is cannons. Once you get a perfect stack you’ll hit anywhere from 80+. Also, you want to use the minimum amount of cannons each level, so you just barely beat the level. As for the boss levels, let them go around 2 times.

Some creatures are immune…? What do’s this mean?
January 23rd, 2007 at 2:27 pm
What is the best Strategy?
January 30th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
research и, разумеется, за каждого монстра дают деньги. В общем, недурная игрушечка. После 3-4 поражений начинаешь думать и просчитывать
(здесьчуть чуть можно почитать). В игре есть общая таблица рекордов. Результат сильно зависит от экономичности расходования средств. Хочется

Hi all! Here is my Flash element TD 200k strategy video:
part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_auLKoCLeMA (lvl 1-21)
part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpCiE_5HvGo (lvl 22-39)
Score 201,898. No cheats, no exploits!!!! Comments and tips on strategy are welcome.
My observations:
1. even with the same tower placement you can get different results each game
2. the efficiency in the early levels is crucial to score high
(the score depends on money, money depend on efficiency and raise exponentially)
3. there are some extra-tough levels (fast, boss) where buying extra towers just for the level and selling them before the level ends is a good idea
4. you have 20 lives which don’t generate cash. cash does. you can convert some of the lives to cash by delaying tower upgrades

easily. The new Cambrian House Game Warz(still not released, but I’ll let you know when it is) would be the perfect place for people that like this type of game. There are a ton of good reviews on the tower defense website. For example, here’s theFlash Elemental TD. From the look of the nice reviews on the site, I think the website owner would really like to participate with Cambrian House in crowdsourcing Tower defense games.

After each level, sell just one of something, this is one of the ways people are getting such high scores. When you sell that one tower, watch your score, it will go up, but if you sell something else, it will go down. depending on how much accumulated gold you have, the more it rises when selling something just after the round is over. I haven’t read it in any directions yet. the directions do specify that using the “tab” key is a way to stack towers. I don’t understand how this works.
February 20th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
oh, my top score so far is 75,800

I head off to play games online, I love flash games because they don’t require me to download anything to my computer and the majority of the ones I play are free. Most times I find games I like by accident, or I come across a review like this one onFlash Element TDand then based upon what that person writes, I give it a try or I decide maybe not. Personally I have to say that I liked Tower Defense Flash Maze better but that’s because it was a bit less complicated. As the review of Flash Elemental TD points out,

time on my hands at work. I can’t pack or do much that is productive while I’m here, so instead… I play games online. For awhile it was TextTwist, but now that I’ve passed 250,000 points it just isn’t so exciting anymore. Today I was asked to reviewFlash Element TD
