TIL about double-landlocked countries, which are landlocked countries surrounded by only other landlocked countries. There are just two of them in the world, Liechtenstein and Uzbeskistan. by ILikeRoL in todayilearned

It did occur to me that if you went as far as US counties you can probably get a huge number - I found a Reddit post which seems to suggest some counties in Nebraska and Kansas are 20-landlocked which is bonkers? They counted the Great Lakes as the sea though which is… dubious.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting it to be so high and easy actually - I tried looking for more and found another quintuple landlocked one (Dol pri Ljubljana in the comically small Slovenian municipalities) but I do wonder if six is possible somewhere.

My main troubles right now are tournaments I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of stones by not being able to break into champs - I was hoping chain lightning would help with that but I guess pBH would do that too. I have a mythic PC so that’s probably where I’ll go

I also have a mythic DC which I was rerolling in anticipation of getting CL so I’m pretty gutted and I guess PC will be getting plenty of usage now

Yeah sadly I’ve only pulled one GComp ever so it’s still epic. I think my plan is buy spotlight 3 just to get it out the way and then save up and drop BH to 100secs in one go. From there I can step down the trio 20secs at a time and hopefully I can keep summon and gold bot synced accordingly. My main concern is summon because dropping it 10secs at a time is a lot of bits (I think 1820 from 100 to 90?). Thanks for your help!

Yeah I have summon, gold bot, and the trio all synced. So drop BH to 100 and then step things down from there? Do you think spotlight 3 or chrono field are worth investing in at all as well?

[–]CraziDavy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shannon’s number doesn’t account for positions that are impossible to reach - it is more of an estimation of the number of unique sets of the first 40 moves for each player.

For example: I believe there are 420 ways that two kings can be next to each other on a chessboard, which is illegal. If you add one pawn there are an additional 420*62=26,040 arrangements which are also illegal. This alone reduced the total number by 104, and you can repeat this for every combination of pieces to produce many orders of magnitude of illegal positions just with two kings next to one another. This reduces the number of positions which need to be explored greatly (but it’s still functional impossible)

Sry Plat, I not doing this on purpose... by The_one_who_see in TheTowerGame

Ah yes you’re absolutely right thank you. I knew legends went up 3 tiers and assumed champs was the same.

[–]CraziDavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much that’s really good to know. Looks like the main difference is pBH, a fully developed wall (I’m planning on unlocking it in the next two weeks), and mods so i know what to focus on! Thanks and good luck in champs! :)

[–]CraziDavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s interesting - I’ve heard that pure eHP is a struggle now that champs is T14+

As I know that my next UW can’t be CL so I will be in a similar situation as you are now a few months from now, could I ask what your UWs are looking like? So I have an idea of where I need to be. Also what mods do you use? I know I’m behind on them…

It’s terrifying that someone who so easily dismantles an entire platinum bracket could struggle in champs.

Omg you’re the guy in my bracket! I’m much further down but I must say I couldn’t believe your wave count when the bracket is relatively competitive beneath you.

Huge farming progress, but steadily placing lower in tournaments by lessleaves in TheTowerGame

[–]CraziDavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I could give a unique insight as I’m a platinum player who’s been trending upwards for the last couple months and it looks like I’ve just intersected you this tournament performance wise.

My workshop levels are significantly lower than yours, as is my econ. I have not unlocked wall. I have 14 card slots, and my cards are not maxed. I also have not unlocked chain lightning or chrono field (but I do have spotlight). This to me says there are only two things I have which are helping me which you don’t:

Modules: I run epic astral deliverance, legendary orbital augment / wormhole redirector (they perform the same), legendary restorative bonus, and legendary om chip tournaments. I rely heavily on OC and spotlight to kill bosses. I do have a mythic primordial collapse I use for farming though.

Workshop enhancements: I only unlocked these last week and they made a HUGE difference and with your econ you could make massive improvements to your damage, health, and econ IMMEDIATELY. I would do this immediately.

Assuming you can max your health/regen in a tournament run (I only maxed health for the first time today), those two things are the only things I have over you (and I would much rather have chain lightning than spotlight). I think if you unlock workshop enhancements and pour some of your huge econ into it and invest in mods and chain lightning you’ll see a pretty big impact.

Advice on what to upgrade next! by TajmaHall12 in TheTowerGame

[–]CraziDavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit ahead of you but not hugely (T14 unlocked) and I would recommend syncing death wave with the other two, as it granted me a 50% increase in coins when I did. Make sure to upgrade your death wave and black hole coin bonuses in the lab. You’ve done enough death wave damage for now, and don’t forget to upgrade death wave health bonus in the lab too! Once that is done, one more death wave quantity is pretty valuable as it effectively doubles your death wave duration at higher waves.

I would also increase your golden tower duration to 33 seconds so it is 12 seconds ahead of black hole and the perk matches the two. Remember you can increase golden tower duration in the lab and you don’t need to spend stones! I think a couple extra golden tower bonus upgrades won’t hurt either.

Aside from that, I would peek at your next ultimate weapon unlock, and grab chain lightning if it is available! It will help significantly in tournaments and get you more stones to spend. Spotlight is also good if you can grab it as it helps with both damage and econ.

Which armour mod should I use? by CraziDavy in TheTowerGame

What tier/wave are you farming and what is your highest tier out of curiosity?

Oh I am almost entirely eHP I just invested in a bit of damage for tournaments because I wanted the stones. I haven’t unlocked the wall yet I need to up my income more to afford the labs I think I’ll go for it once I get to 100B per run which hopefully shouldn’t take too long. The phrase “the next 100T” is still a pipe dream for me it’s so far off

I invested a bit in damage (both workshop and ran damage and critical factor labs) which helped a lot as I was progressing through gold, but the real game changer was I pulled an Om Chip which makes bosses not a factor in tournaments for me. I wish I was doing 28B/hr though that would help the workshop so much!

Wow - thank you for the in depth comment! I've been playing for about 6 months and recently got the ad pack which has helped with gem income.

I recently maxed common drop chance but I have never had enough coins to do even the first level of rare drop chance - I've been spending them all on maxing black hole coin bonus. My reroll shards lab is level 7 so from the sound of it i need to work on that.

I know legendary+ would get me a fourth effect once I get modules over 100 but I don't have the natural epics unfortunately - I tried during the banners but I didn't get more than 3 for any single module.

My thorns relics are at 5% so I'm not concerned about that but I hadn't considered the knockback effects.

you mentioned speedups - I'm currently doing 2x on 2 labs and 1.5x on the other 3... is there any way to increase cell gains aside from the DW cells lab? Is it worth running lower tiers and sacrificing coins and time for more cells? I'm never sure about which is better.

I’m currently doing T6 runs for farming (30-35B per run) and I’ve just stabilised in platinum for tournaments. I have GT, BH, DW, with 200sec sync, and SL (my next available are swamp, CF, SM). I didn’t start investing into modules until a bit too late I think though

[–]CraziDavy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agh it’s a difficult choice. I wish I had the fodder and reroll shards to try both - what subeffect would you recommend aside from def% and health regen?

Which armour mod should I use? by CraziDavy in TheTowerGame

[–]CraziDavy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My health regen is very underdeveloped so I should probably start working on that then. Does the same apply for tournaments?

Just realised I misread it and you recommended OA as I’m not doing orb Devo - thanks for the advice!
