Only have 1 Engineer out at a time - this map is too small to be locking down with 2 engineers spawning on every wave

W2:
Short wave - considering adding a bit to it. Otherwise a good wave

W3:
Extremely short - boss had no support spawning with him so he just stood still because he had no bomb to fetch

W4:
Fine, maybe a bit easy for heavy tank busting teams

W6:
Change the Giant Medics to Regen templates
Maybe lower the amount of giant Conch Soldiers active

Something I don’t think I mentioned was the flag scouts every wave. Seems like they were just slapped on there as sort of a lazy way to have “impactful” support every wave. I’d prefer if it was changed up a bit and some more thought put in to it rather than just having them be on every wave as (mainly) the only support bots.

They also need an icon to signify that they wield banners.

The only wave that felt a bit too soldier-heavy was wave 1 with all the stock and buff soldiers, along with the giant soldiers. Changing the buff soldiers on the latter half of that wave would be a way to lighten the amount of soldiers overall.

as a caveat to spawning bots in big groups like braindawg said, I think it works well with the heavyweight champs. I haven’t looked at the popfile but if it’s something like spawning 8 at a time with a maxactive of 8 try using a maxactive of 9 instead so that not all of them have to die before the next group comes in.

you made the second boss' reload rate 3x slower than what it was before

Int - Besieged Barricade

I guess the gist of this would be that the first 3 waves were fine but after that it delves into more advanced-feeling territory than intermediate.

Making the bot changes (persian demoknights -> normal demoknights) should help a bit. A lot of the issues of the latter waves can be fixed just by lowering the amount of giants on the field, as they have a strong tendency to group up and on in a medieval setting the only thing that will really get through that is a penetration huntsman.

For bots that have more than their class base HP, scale them up. Like a 270hp soldier can be 1.2 or 1.3 but it needs to stand out from the other bots so it's obvious that it's a bit tougher to bring down.

More unpaid slave labor

Int - Restless Robotics

W3:

The start with the demoknights was pretty rough but they just barely capped the first spawn and was instantly recapped, so judge yourself from the demo.

W4:
Space out the starting Giant Pyros + Uber Meds just a little bit, maybe remove a couple of uber meds off of the final Giant Buff Banner Soldiers as well.
Basher scouts were just named "Scout"

W5:
18 Soldiers were left straggling

W6:
The normal bots at the start won't get anywhere with the amount of money you give us. I would suggest making them a bit more sparse but spawning them alongside the boss since he didn't really get anything accomplished.

Right, one oversight was the heavies on wave 1. They’re normal skill which in groups can punish even well organized teams. I suggest lowering their skill to easy similar to the heavies on wave 2.

I would suggest completely removing the zatoichi from the boss and replacing it with something different, since removing the core mechanics of the weapon would just confuse folks.

Wave 1 was a good wave after the slow start.

Wave 2-4 all felt at most normal difficulty, never really picking up into intermediate difficulty.

Ran with prejudges.

Personal gripe is the infinite pyro icon you're using to signify AlwaysFireWeapon pyros, just use the normal pyro class icon.

Brain has most of the feedback for waves 1-2.

W3:
I suggest cutting 1 of the uber medics from the rapid fire bowmen.

W4:
Giant Medics on intermediate are already kinda questionable, pair that with a giant heater heavy and a map as tiny as hideout and you have a recipe for disaster. I would suggest just removing the Giant Medics and replacing them with uber medics of your choosing, or big heals, whatever you wanna do.

The Giant Burst Fire Soldiers you used were the ones from broken parts, no? Double damage on top of crits is incredibly strong, even when it comes to advanced, so putting it on an intermediate mission on a small map isn't the best way to go. Throw the valve template without crits + double damage and I think it'll be fine, add some more support alongside it if you feel like it isn't enough, whatever you figure works for you.

The wavespawn snipers you have are wielding their sniper rifles. Sniper bots are incapable of using rifles outside of Mission objectives unless you give them AlwaysFireWeapon.

W5:
Bosses are really underwhelming. One is Sir Nukesalot with some sort of fire gimmick judging by the icon? The Hydrogen boss just didn't really do anything since his reload times were so long. I would personally prefer having a full-fledged wave here since it's a 5-wave mission.
