Hello, I am back again with some more advanced dragon's-teeth tests!! This time with a death-world accurate mixture of biter sizes -- and flame turrets. :)
Each wave of enemies includes:
----------------------------------------------------
378 - Behemoth biters
255 - Big biters
129 - Medium biters
Design notes:
----------------------------------------------------
Wall #1 - Control group. Not very effective.
Wall #2 - Slightly more effective than control, but easily tilable in the X and Y axis.
Wall #3 - Very effective and easily tilable in both the X and Y axis -- creates corners very easily. Biters only make it about mid way through the design in this test with hundreds of biters. Very good.
Wall #4 - Very effective, but only tileable on the X axis (and when you hit a corner it turns to hell). Biters also have a rare chance to path quickly on the diagonal causing problems sometimes.
Wall #5 - By far the most effective design, but has the tendency to incur more damage than most when under large scale attack.
Wall #6 - Decently effective. An attempt by my to relieve some of the stress wall #5 was experiencing. It works somewhat.
Wall #7 - Not super effective. Catches biters decently, but disperses them a little too much for flame turrets to be fully utilized maybe?
Wall #8 - Very effective, but only tileable on the X axis, and corners might get a little complicated. This design plays into the flame turrets very nicely. Probably the most resilient under very very large scale attacks.
