IRONHIDE COMMUNITY FORUM

To battle! This contest requires you to create a new Endless level somewhere in an existing Kingdom Rush game. The level should not be a repeat of an existing Endless but can be anywhere else on the map with any other set of enemies.

Kingdom Rush - Kingdom Rush: Frontiers - Kingdom Rush: Origins

As an endless level, it should include several things. New enemies (as Endless levels are unlocked after sections of the campaign are finished, they often include enemies usually introduced in Elite levels), a Mini-Boss that spawns every 10 waves, a battle commander (Goblin Shaman, God King, et-al) and three enemy spells. All of these are required for the contest. As follows:

Awesome stuff, I've got a couple of preliminary questions however...

Three entirely new enemies is a-ok - but still for enemies that have had an MC devoted to them? For example: Bandits had 2 enemies added in their MC, would we add 3 more thieving scoundrels or just 1 for a total of three?

Minibosses have had no abilities until Twilight Invasion, where Brutes have a passive damage buff to allies - are Miniboss abilities kosher? Only 1? Only a passive or can it be active?

Assume all the known enemies will be in the level, regular and elite, so make three of your own originals.

I didnt realise they had abilites, so yeah they're kosher. But only one.

I'm definitely participating in this one! After reading the last Endless Stage contest, I have been waiting for another one.

Wait, what if the environment used for the Endless Stage is not present in any level? Do we still have to use a preexisting enemy group? And if we do, how do we decide which enemy group to use?

You can make an nvironment as long as it's relativly similar or related to the enemy group you choose. Like how the Twilight city roads weren't anywhere else, but it had straight paths similar to the Royal Gardens. Does that make sense?

What's the difference between Environment and Level Description?

I assume Location is the place on the map where the endless banner is, and any surrounding features.

Environment would be like Ice, Forest, First City, etc.
Description is how many entrances, exits, etc. Plus a picture if ypu want.
Location is as you say, I put the maps in so you can decide where it would be placed of there are nsmed landmarks nearby

Fun! I'll try my hand at this!

I remember i did this in november of 2016!

OK, that makes sense.

Just a quick add to the rules. Please can entries follow the format as stated in the first post. That was all entries are presented the same

Is one allowed to add something to the level such as a bonus hero?

There have never been bonus heroes on the previous Endless levels, so there won't be one here either.

Can we make achievements (level-specific ones, of course)? I ask this because I have 2 good ideas for them, and I don't want to see them go to waste.

Mmm, yes I suppose so, they wouldn't be out of place with the level. But I think two is enough, let's not go wild.

How 'bout a level-specific tower?

Which existing Endless level has a level specific tower?

In valors rest there are magic tulips, i guess those count as pre built towers

Magic Blossoms are not affected by Phoenix' 'Ring of Fire' or by the Gnome Shops 'Horn of Heroism', both of which target Towers.

The contest is for an Endless level. That's the focus. There will be other contests for heroes and towers, stop trying to shoe horn everything into this contest.
