Flowers ?

[Rich_Zap]

Hello,

Ive been a fan of Dyson (Eufloria) for a long time now and think this game is really awesome. I downloaded the demo today and it looks and plays great, I love the improvements to the controls as well.

After playing through the first 6 levels I tried the skirmish, it played well however I was confused to find out theres an extra unit (the flowers) ? From what I gather you can use them to improve a defense or seedling tree however I am not sure of some of the rules surrounding this.

1) Why do flowers grow on trees ? Are there any conditions that lead to this or is it just random.

2) What advantage does enhancing a seedling tree give ? I see the seedlings coming off the enhanced tree getting a halo around them but I dont know what the benefit is.

3) Why dont captured flowers provide any benefit ?

I guess this would be explained in the manual in the full game but that sadly isnt included with the demo so I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this.

Looking forward to the release !

1. I think the planet the flower spawns on is random. And i also think that they spawn at certain time intervals.

2. Unsure. Maybe it's an increased spawn rate, or a stat boost to seedlings who spawn off that tree.

3. I think they are destroyed once you capture the asteroid that they are planted on.

These are just my guesses . Alex and Rudolf can give you better answers.

1. Flowers spawn randomly on seedling trees. There is no set interval, though I do believe the tree must be matured to a certain stage (simply grown enough)

2. Watch your enhanced seedlings' attack rate

3. If a flower is planted next to a tree, that tree will be enhanced. I don't recall right now whether or not a planted flower remains intact upon capture.

Thanks for the response guys, I confirmed the second point after I got the game yesterday . I think youre right about the flowers spawning randomly, I have had some asteroids give 2 flowers after I capture it and others give none.

The 3rd point I am not sure on though, in the demo I could certainly capture enemy asteroids which had flowers and they definately gave no benefit. However I got the game late yesterday and only got to level 10 (curse my need for sleep ) and as such I havent had a chance to see whether the full game is any different (I would suspect not but who knows).

4. is it a bug that when sending a flower to an enemy planet it becomes theirs? cause I sent it at first thinking it was some sort of tree control. but no, they get the boost, grow the really powerful three laser flower and destroy my planet

Wait, did the flower instantly become theirs? Or did you plant it somehow before you took over the asteroid?

Both of those scenarios don't seem quite correct!

I planted them on their planet.

Yes, I've tested and reported this one.

It's not a bug, if you send and planted your flower on the enemy asteroid - then you really wanted it.

The real bug is that asteroid panel is somewhat borked (plant flower button interferes with text) - but that's a low priority.
