It would be really cool if there was a tower defense mod where enemies just go towards an endpoint on the map, and you terraform walls/paths + make units to stop them.

your in luck its called chickens. i also modified them to turn them back into normal zk units

would you like me to remove there ability to climb walls and give you a ploppable energy that you need to defend?

yeah I was thinking they would NOT be able to:
- climb walls
- burrow
- fly
- shoot back/deal damage

you would need some way to prevent the player from making the route the enemies take impathable

all dooable.. ill make it later

sounds easy

ill modify chickens to make the units.. they have a long delay self destruct then they do a large quake flatten.. i can make them target only the super singu.. it will be a ploppable mex the only one you can make.. it will be your eco and the ai target. most of the code is already done but i wont have time today

Good idea, though perhaps instead of quake flatten they should do the skuttle/tacnuke detonation or a ultimatum shot, otherwise ppl can still block the path with units/statics.

took a long time so wont be ready today but i solved it by modifyying fellons so they build up and if a ball of them exists they share regen and then fire a rediculous map wide flatten.. if you block them they will flatten whole map.. no more reason to block them in

Surprisingly playable, thanks! eg. https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/2137971

feedback (no rush to fix, just mostly notes):
- I think global illumination + 0 terraform cost is useful
- I got killed by Chicken Spires (arty) which does deal massive damage
- Singu getting destroyed doesn't end the game

But I think the main issue is that it's kinda obvious Stardust spam + Faradays get you really far so there's not much interestingness in defense choices :( Perhaps tower rebalancing can fix this IDK...

Thanks for making the mod!
