Being true to the history of tower defense games coming from games like Warcraft and Starcraft, BTD will be implementing the “Fog of War” feature. This will not only alter the way you design your maze, but also the way you build it. Check it out here - BTD v.068

Basically, fog of war means that your towers (and you) can’t see the bacteria unless they are in range of a “sensor” tower. You can’t see the gram stains/morphology and you also can’t fire at them. So, be sure to design your map to accomodate the most efficient usage of these critical towers.

Right now, BTD v.068 implements Fog of War in beta mode. It is selectable via a checkbox on the difficulty menu. Beating the game with it on gives you 1500 bonus points. In this implementation, you can see the life bars for the creep so you’ll at least know that enemies are coming.

 Any thoughts or comments about this feature (or anything else) are welcome!
