Mode Selections[]
There are currently 5 total selectable modes in Squadron tower defense. With the exception of Arcade Mode, all modes require majority vote to pass. Players may vote for only 1 of the 3 game modes (Classic, Chaos, or Chaos Refined), in conjunction with the other mode preferences. They are as follows:
- Arcade Mode - Players may only choose one of the preset builders (no custom) and stats and experience are not saved. Does NOT require a majority vote, and only personally affects the voting player.
- Classic mode - Each player chooses a builder at the start, to be used for the duration of the whole game. This mode is optioned by default.
- Chaos mode - Each player is given a random, preset, builder at the start of each round. Unlike the Chaos Builder available in Classic Mode, the different builders come with their unique racial passive active.
- Chaos Refined mode - All players are given the same random, preset, builder, along with their racial passive active, at the start of each round.
- Three Ex mode - Also known as 3x, in contrast to 1x mode, the waves spawn 3 times as many creeps (excluding sends). To compensate, players start the game with twice the minerals, and an extra 5 supply.
- Veteran mode - When enabled, creeps with grow stronger than usual with each wave. The refinery's gas production rate is also sped up by 50%, allowing for more sends to be sent or received.
- Reflex - Units sent from the Barracks/Spawning Pool and Factory attack the sending player with the incoming wave. This mode is only available in single player.
