Description
BETA v1.9 was the tenth update to be released on Tower Defense Simulator, on the 9th of August 2019. This update is notable for bringing the Area 51 Event, the second event in Tower Defense Simulator.
As with most updates before the Solar Eclipse Event, there was no official name for updates. As a result, the name BETA v1.9 has been retroactively applied to this update. However, since this update also brought the Area 51 Event, it can also be called, Area 51 Update.
This version encompassed four updates, the main BETA v1.9.0 update (released 9 August 2019), and three minor updates, the BETA v1.9.1 (released 10 August 2019), the BETA v1.9.2 (released 13 August 2019) and the BETA v1.9.3 (released 14 August 2019).
