Map database

Fixes

• Gold Income has been dramatically changed. Gold cap is higher than before.
• Tier 2, 3, 4 and 5 towers now require 1, 2, 3 and 4 rerolls to unlock respectively. The first 4 rerolls are very cheap.
• Wave balance overhauled. Overall, the mid game has been made harder, and the overall length of games has been reduced. Because of these changes, your "Highest wave cleared" stat will be reset.
• You can plan construction during a wave. Towers built during this time are Placeholders, and do not act or block creeps. They will become real towers at the end of the wave. You can salvage them if you change your mind.

• Various creep modifiers have been adjusted in strength.

• Savage runes now always have 0.5x Rune Effectiveness. Whenever a creep dies, this is increased to 2.0x Rune Effectiveness for 3 seconds.
