Hi everybody! Welcome to the blog post for August 11, 2017!
Tower Keepers 1.9
Earlier this week we released version 1.9 for Tower Keepers on mobile and on Kongregate! The 1.9 update introduces the Guild Boss Portal, with the dragon boss Zaluss, the Demolisher, new weapons and armour as well as a whole lot of bug fixes and tweaks to make the game better than ever!

This update also introduced the Tower-Keep 'Em-Guessing Combat Actions(bug). A 1.9.1 patch will be out early next week as it seems many players don't appreciate attacks showing up in a different order than is shown.

Tower Keepers web on main NK website before i die?
If a banana tree fell in the jungle and no monkeys are around to hear it, does it make a sound?
So, today's the Bloons 10th Anniversary for my time zone. Any celebrations planned?
could we get some shorter (preferably 2-3 days) championships?
Can you add Space Resort as a map for apocalypse? :))
Will BTD 6 contain some other animal(besides monkeys)
What's your favorite soundtrack in any NK game?
Here are 2 tower keeper questions: If you have a fighter with 200 attack (+20 from items and buffs), 10 bonus damage, somehow 100% critchance (for better understanding of crit) and he hits with a strike, which does 60-100 pysical damage. It is buffed with 30% more damage by the thief. His target is a knight with 120 defense (+30 from items and buffs), 0% dodge and 45% armor. What would be the formula to calculate the damage of this strike. (like dmg = (rnd.(min.dmg,maxdmg)+(att-def)*arm)+ bonus damage *2 (crit)*damage modificator) I noticed that the spelldamage goes up when you level up the hero, but equipping an item which doubles the attack doesn't change the spelldamage. So contains the damage formula the attack parameter or only the spell min and max damage. It is all a big mystery. The second question is how does the "bonus health" works. Is it simply added on the maximal health of a champion and the healer can heal them a little bit more for a short time (max hp buff)(does he lose hp when the buff is over and he has more hp than max hp?), or does he get more health and heal himself that much, and after the buff is over, the hero will lose the bonus health from the maximal health but keep the health he has now if (possible over heal but in theory no big difference towarts a heal), or does he get an own bonus health parameter which is full at the start, but when he get hit the bonus health is taken away before the main health and can't be healed again and only the main health can be healed (like a shield).
Will the SAS4 Championship of 1-4 September be Virus Samples only or half apocalypse? Please don't ignore...
