The Armory of the Sun

Five towers, each rising through three tiers — from a stone footing to a sun-crowned bastion.

Gilded Spire

Gilded Spire

Heavy

Rare, landslide-heavy shots that flatten colossi and dragons.

Children of the Dunes

From skittering goblins to the one-eyed colossus, all the way to the dragon that ends the dunes.

Orcs

Orcs

Grunt · bruiser

Stocky front-line brutes with real muscle; they soak the fire meant for lesser foes.

Eight Living Sands

Sun-bleached wastes, mirage oases and shifting quicksand. Wander every field where the horde will break.

Scorched CrossroadsDesert
Arena 01

Scorched Crossroads

Open wastes scored with caravan roads.

A boundless ochre flat seamed with forgotten trade roads and dry-river crossings. From the black ruins in the north-west the horde spills toward the ember-lit fortress in the south-east, raising dust as it comes.

✦
Blazing SunNot a sliver of shade — the open sand hides no foe, and shelters no tower either.
✦
Caravan ForksOld tracks converge into a single marching stream — hold the crossings and the dunes are yours.

Twin BridgesDesert
Arena 02

Twin Bridges

A dry ravine splits the desert in two.

A deep, sun-baked ravine cleaves the sands, spanned by only two ancient stone bridges. From the dark gate in the west the horde sets out; in the east looms a grim citadel of black stone. Every road drains to the narrow crossings.

✦
Narrow CrossingsTwo bridges are perfect chokepoints — a tower on a span is worth three out on the sand.
✦
Black KeepThe horde drives for the dark fortress, its ranks pressing tighter the nearer they come.

Mirror GatesDesert
Arena 03

Mirror Gates

A symmetric arena around a sun altar.

A perfectly mirrored field: twin sand gates in the west, a dark temple in the east, two crossings between, and a carved sun-disc altar at its heart. The two paths echo one another, opening clean lanes for crossfire.

✦
Sun AltarThe sun-disc at the centre is the ideal anchor — a ring of towers around it rakes both branches.
✦
Mirrored PathsThe lanes mirror each other: whatever holds one half will hold the other.
Defend
Serpent ChannelsOasis
Arena 04

Serpent Channels

Three winding lanes to an oasis waterfall.

Three serpentine lanes crawl from the western caves and converge on a turquoise oasis where a waterfall breaks the heat. A long, looping road — a gift to any tower planted on the bends.

✦
Living WaterBy the oasis the horde slowly mends its wounds — end them before they reach the water.
✦
Long SerpentineThe road folds back on itself: a tower on a bend can strike the same foe twice.
Defend
Great LagoonOasis
Arena 05

Great Lagoon

Branching trails pour into a vast oasis.

A dense web of trails fans out from the western caves and draws east into a sprawling turquoise lagoon of palms and stepped pools. The central bridges are your last stand before the horde tastes the water.

✦
Living WaterNear the lagoon the horde recovers its strength — let the pressure never break.
✦
Branching TrailsThe march splits and rejoins at the bridges — set splash towers where the lanes merge.
Defend
Moat LabyrinthOasis
Arena 06

Moat Labyrinth

A web of bridges around a castle moat.

A tangled knot of roads and countless small bridges chokes the western half, while in the east a dark fortress sits ringed by a winding turquoise moat. A true labyrinth — every junction is a trap waiting to be set.

✦
Castle MoatThe living moat heals whatever reaches it — see that nothing arrives whole.
✦
Bridge WebDozens of crossings draw the horde into tight knots — a feast for area fire.

Temple LatticeEndless

Temple Lattice

A fortified grid before a temple oasis.

A dense, almost rectangular lattice of fortified lanes and bridges reaches east toward a carved temple-city of turquoise canals and baths. A measured, structured fight — order against order.

✦
Sacred BathsThe temple canals mend foes on approach — break their ranks down to the last span.
✦
Battle LatticeThe even grid of lanes gives flawless fields of fire — build towers in lines.

Quicksand AbyssQuicksand

Quicksand Abyss

Twin serpentines over living quicksand.

Two interwoven serpentine trails with frequent bridges wind over the western half, while the whole east is a slowly turning field of quicksand funnels. Here there is no citadel — the desert itself is the last line.

✦
QuicksandThe turning funnels in the east clutch at foes and drag the horde down — the desert fights for you.
✦
Interwoven TrailsA twin serpentine of crossings — knots that several towers can rake at once.
