Bloons Tower Defense Ex

==Quick Note==
This article (as you can see) is being rewritten finally. It is a bit sloppy as of now, and this message will be removed when I work on it tomorrow.
==Start of Actual Article==
Bloons Tower Defense Ex is a fan-made sequel to Bloons Tower Defense 5. This edition of the game includes more features, towers, bloons, modes, extras, and is less Monkey Money greedy. The game is said to come out in the year 20E3, but not much else is known about the date.
==The Interface and Modes==
Bloons Tower Defense Ex actually plays a bit different from it's others, as instead of it being a plain map select, there is level progression. You start at Monkey Training Camp and you go all the way to where the final boss is being saved. The starting cash gimmick from Bloons Monkey City is also present, and plays a big part in getting new towers. When you jump into the first level, you can only place two Dart Monkeys restricted to 0-0 (This will be explained later) and nothing else. You have a mute button for both BGM and SFX, and a home, a non-stop button, (constant waves) and a GO! Before that, you have what seems to be a world map where you can select your level. After selecting the level, it will show you a layout of the level along with a few choices such as "Choose Mode: Original, Encore, Nightmare." and "How much starting money do you wish to leave?". Modes decide the lighting, the amount of waves, the waves themselves, and on occasion - the path the bloons take. (Also, whenever you encounter a new bloon or bloon type, a little pop-up will appear telling you about it) The modes work like this:
Original Mode: This includes the original waves for every map. You'll encounter most of the towers and bloons here.
Encore Mode: Reccomended after you've beaten at least the next five levels on Original Mode. Encore Mode includes no new paths, but does include more waves, more bloons, and new bloons + towers.
Nightmare Mode: Reccomended after you've beat at least the next six levels on Encore Mode. Nightmare Mode is plain unforgiving, and will be happy to cover you in new insanely difficult bloons and even new paths.
==Towers ==
In this section, you will learn the following: The types of towers there are, the upgrades available to every tower, and how to earn towers.
===Catching Towers===
When you are given an option to leave some starter money behind when you go into a level, you are able to catch new towers and more towers with the money. (The starter money is only gone for more round, and you can't have less than $200 for starting money) The more starter money you leave behind, the better chance you'll get more towers and new towers. Be warned, though - If you want to lay starter money down on a level you've already left starter money behind, you'll be forced to leave more than you did last time so it isn't easy grinding.
It's strongly reccomended that you don't leave money behind the first time you play a level, as that can be extremely dangerous due to you not knowing what could happen. Best you play it two or three times to get used to it.
===Towers===
