  • New models for all attack towers: rotating tops track the Maniac, the missile battery swivels its launch rack, watchtowers shoot from a bow

  • Real projectiles: arrows, ice arrows, cast-iron mortar cannonballs and missiles launched right off the rack

  • Cannonballs and missiles can be dodged - damage is dealt by the explosion at the impact point, and mortar shells arc into the ground

  • Explosion effects with fire and smoke, ice trails, missile exhaust flames, muzzle flashes and explosion sounds

  • Host game settings when creating a match: Survivors to start, Max survivors, Maniac head start, Exit day, Day and Night length, Starting gold, Countdown, and Post-match pause.
