User blog:ShroomstagramUser/East Sea Dragon Palace: International version.

I'm kinda in the mood for a PvZO related blog, so why not make and international version of their underwater world.

Basic differences

It will be renamed to Underwater Castle to sound more international.

Preview

Head down into the oceans of China, where Zomboss is experimenting with sea life, spreading zombies into the ocean and destroying the food chain. Can the plants save the oceans from a zombie attack and live to tell the tale?

Difficulty: 4 Jalapenos

Levels: 32

Main mechanic: The plants are in the water. Unless they are near an air source, they will drown.

When in time did it take place: In between Dark Ages and Pirate Seas.

Plants

There will be 6 plants introduced on the map, and no premiums tied into it.
