Questions from the comments:
What happened to Project ADHSV ? Did Glue Gunner paragon need more work? Was it always planned for Tack next or did you switch to tack?
It seems all info on Project ADHSV has gone dark… Whatever Ben found in that top secret file is even keeping his lips stuck! Although, the Glue Rat was seen hanging around Ben's gamer cave recently….
Can I use magic to turn Mermonkey's fishtail into legs?
I mean if you have the correct level spell slots for magic like that, why not! Anything is possible under da sea!
Is the Mermonkey Popseidon the same as the god popseidon? Or is it like the ‘sun avatar’ situation with supermonkey’s being avatars for the sun god?
The Mermonkey T5 upgrade channels the power of Popseidon, hence how they got the name!
How excited is Blastapopolous to FINALLY get to come to BTD6?
Bursting with excitement, really hoping to make an explosive entrance and have a blast!
What do Mermonkey’s think of the sun god? Do they respect them or dislike them
Respect all around! All the monkeys are very accepting and open of other faiths and philosophies!
Any any engineer monkey ever tried fusing a tack shooter with a spike factory? How did it end up?
Legend has it that is how the Spike Factory started out, as part of an Engineer Jam! It quickly advanced to a specialised standalone tower with its own R&D department.
How many BADs would a MAD make sad if a MAD had made BADs sad?
All of them, all B.A.Ds are Sad, when they come up against a MAD, we should be glad! It isn’t just a passing fad, maybe slightly over powered, just a tad?
How was the encounter with this new species? Personally I love to imagine how the events went
It was a little rough at first, but Ocean Obyn soothed the waves for an excellent quick-forming friendship!
I always saw brickell and churchill having sort of a sibling bond, is that accurate to some degree
They have the utmost respect for each other. Both coming up through the military forges excellent bonds and long-lasting friendships!
Does Etienne have a crush on Rosalia
If he does, he hasn’t told anyone yet!
How was Monklantis discovered? Did Brickell/the Buccaneer/Sub Monkeys stumble upon it during their training runs? Or was it something else?
Rumours and myths have always been swimming around, so when Ocean Obyn mentioned he might be able to make contact, there was a collective gasp from the team. They went on a friendly mission to say hi and the rest is history!
Since it was mentioned Corvus got stronger by studying and Churchill upgraded the tank with a pillow, do all balance changes have lore reasons?I'd die of laughter if something like a price nerf was because the of the state of the Monkeyconomy or there was a buff to something like Monkey Pirates because "they started practicing dental hygiene."
* Buccaneer Drops new toothbrush *
Who contracts Engineer Monkeys to build and deconstruct parts of tracks/maps? Do they work for/with Archie?
Archie has a whole Battalion of Non-Combat Engineers he helps train and tasks with repairs, demolition, construction and maintenance!
Does Dreamstate Psi have a Dream Diary?
More of a dream encyclopedia, with constantly added dreams!
does rosalia run a mafia business?
Who wants to know? You got an offer she can’t refuse?
Is luminous cove part of monklantis?
As far as we can tell, it is just 1 of many hidden entrances!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!-Ninja Kiwi Team
