Hi,

i ve played this tourney:
tournid=27807

http://www.beatthegeek.com/games/TowerDefence/tournamentResults.asp?tournid=27807

of course i skilled all points in harder creeps, extra time, extra powerups...
i rushed in all creeps before the first wave.
With the powerups i bought points at the very end with one lasting creep.

Perfect game. This should be the maximum score.
But only 3rd place.

What did i missed?
This is not the first time and there is a similar older thread from me.
I didnt got an explanation for this.

Ok, i'll be honest with you. I have no idea why you are not getting the high score. I reviewed your game and the 2 scores that beat you, and you should have a higher score.

You sent all the creeps immediately at level 1.... the 2 scores that beat you didn't send all the creeps until around level 3 or 4.

All 3 of you used the score powerup on the last wave.

All 3 of you have your level points set to the hardest creeps.

So, unless I missed something (which is possible), there might be a bug.

Since it is an easy tournament you do have the ability to watch their replays. Do you see why their score is larger?

My guess is it has to do with the extra gold you get for sending creeps early. I did notice when you sent them all early it said (next to your score) you'd get +3392 points for killing all the creeps. However, one of the guys that beat you, after sending their creeps at level 3 or 4 it showed a number slightly larger than 3392. No idea why.

Maybe it's because you had held the N key to send the next waves and they pressed N really fast? Maybe because your are doing it so fast it causes an issue and miss counts the proper bonus.

So ya, I'm sorry but as of right now I am not sure what's causing it.

Hi,

I`ve tried to do perfect score and I`ve done the same score that you jackre

ok, thank you for the confirmation.
i m relieved, i m not stupid.

This issue is now no problem for me.
Only a minor bug in a great game.
Knowing this means i can handle it.

I will try to gain more usefull info.

ok, as you can see, i m now on 1st place.

the only change i made:
rushed in all waves at the beginning SLOWLY, but not too slowly.

187 more points.
Maybe even more points are possible.

a tourney without this issue:

But there is no gap!
maxscore with slow OR fastest sending waves.

Maybe the point: this map has no harder creeps.

Hi.

I've started http://www.beatthegeek.com/games/TowerDefence/tournamentResults.asp?tournid=27883
(Washing Machine) with harder creeps off, and sending all waves as fastest as posible i've gained 3392 bonus points and 3500 sending waves one after another.

Doing this same here:
http://www.beatthegeek.com/games/TowerDefence/tournamentResults.asp?tournid=27880
(no harder creeps at this map), 26934 bonus points both times.
