Monkey Knowledge

“

Why we changed it: we’ve always intended Monkey Knowledge to grow, so that means more cumulative power, and some strong new Knowledges. The current one point per Knowledge with light sequential requirements and nothing else to do with Knowledge Points doesn’t do a good enough job of governing or guiding the varying strength of the Knowledge trees. The Monkey Money requirement provides both, asking players to make a considered choice by using a resource that has value in many other places in the game. As we add tougher modes and Bloons, we can add more and better Knowledge, and this gives the team a better way to indicate and to govern that power according to that value. — Update notes

”

•  Added Monkey Money costs to tier 4+ Monkey Knowledge
• Respec confirmation text changed ― "Resets all Monkey Knowledge so you can assign all Monkey Knowledge points again." → "Resets all Monkey Knowledge so you can reassign all points. Monkey Money spent unlocking a given Knowledge remains invested there."

Miscellaneous

• "Resolved an issue when loading save or co-op resync that would not save any cash gains from the very last attack in each round"
• "Resolved a co-op desync that could cause some players to never see the defeat screen or be able to continue playing"
• "Resolved a co-op desync that could kick every other player from the match"
• "Resolved a co-op issue causing some lower end devices to crash when viewing options"
• "Round hints should display again if enabled"
• "Resolved some minor Localization issues"
• "Added a download confirmation to the game launch when an update needs to apply, for player clarity and for platform requirements"
• "Stylus should work correctly again for all mobile versions, hope Note players are happy again!"
• "The top of the Windmill on Town Center should no longer block placement under it"
• "Tapping too quickly on losing in a race should no longer pay twice for one ‘Try again’"
• "Empowered Heroes Knowledge should no longer make that level 3 ability disappear in that incredibly frustrating way that it did"
• "All For One And One For One achievement should be awarded correctly again"

Description

In-game patch notes

Bloons TD 6 had a fantastic 2019 and we'll be working our tails off to make sure that 2020 is even bigger and better! Pretty high bar because 2019 saw 11 Maps, 3D MOABs, updated Collection Events, Challenge Editor, Co-Op, Co-Op Stats and Callouts, Emotes, Pat Fusty, Adora, 5 hero skins, Engineer Monkey, and a whole bunch of secrets and specials like hidden achievements, big Bloon and tiny Bloon modes, and dark Adora.

Whew, we've got our work cut out for us. Hmm, what could we do? Maybe... Odyssey Mode, Trophy Store with customization for visuals and music, Boss Bloons, Power Pros, more Challenge Editor functions, new Knowledge, new Heroes, new Monkey Towers, some top secret surprises, and at every step making the game run better, look better, and be more fun and challenging to play solo and with friends. Hope that sounds like a good 2020 ahead!

• New expert map Infernal, a lavaish and truly magmananimous map that makes gameplay flow easily.
• New Quincy 'Wolfpack' skin joins pack Quincy
• New 'Collection View' toggle in the Insta Monkeys
• Once you've unlocked a new Insta Monkey, it will remain unlocked to view in your collection even after using it in-game.
• Maximum player rank cap increased to 155
• Knowledge tree has been reworked along with 5 new Knowledge types
  • Come On Everybody! - Co-ordinated boosts to all Primary towers
  • Wingmonkey - Monkey Aces group together for advanced strikes
  • Tiny Tornadoes - Druids are even Blowier Awayier
  • Healthy Bananas - Marketplaces stock fresher bananas with no added DDT
  • Weak Point - Heroes make more vital strikes against stronger targets
• Addition of Monkey Money thresholds - rows 4 and below on any of the trees will now have Monkey Money requirements alongside the Knowledge Point required

Notes

• The update video's thumbnail refers to Infernal as "Inferno".
• Internally, this update also changed the description of Soulbind's Activated Ability to match the new description of Prince of Darkness, despite it being unused in every version of the game. (Internally, all Activated Abilities have their own descriptions separate from the descriptions of upgrades, similar to the Flash version of Bloons TD 5, though only the Hero Abilities were ever used, and only in older versions.)
