wow, Friday20 is way harder if you do move the base to the upper right island. I normally never move the base since it makes it too easy, but I thought I would just try the mission a second time, but moving it to see how much faster it would be. It wasn't... I had to restart 3 times before I could keep a toe hold and then drag may way out. 16 minutes without moving, 27 with.

Flight of the Bumblebees: Shadowbuild, but use only mortars in a level, but build thirty Blasters out of range of any creep. When they're all fully charged, drop six next to each emitter and try to get to the totems before they run out of ammo.

@solaceavatar: well that emitter just destroyed up 6 blasters and a few mortars on survival. you just have to wait a bit...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Actually, you only need three blasters to cap a survival emitter. Bit disappointing if you're ready for it, you can easily beat back the survival-creeper.

no matter how much you prepare for survival, no matter how many weapons you have ready, when it is finally time, you see it all fall apart. and you just accept it. itss sad really.

Not up to the standard of the normal creeper game. 60+ drones?? Nope, boring on survival mode even with zero drones. Better to stick to the normal creeper game.

Love Knuckle Cracker and Creeper World, best Strategy series, and only Real-Time Tower Defense Strategy game made and as such is the best in that genre! Lol RTTDS, that's a long acronym.

There is a level creator, and i don't think you need the original game to use the map editor, but you need it to play the maps you make, but if anyone makes a map, i'm all for testing it! CW1, 2 or 3 (when it comes out)

Couldn't be bothered to play a shadowbuild for the 11th, played Blasters, Reactors and Relays only. It's nice that we have such leeway on viable game strategies.

for defance make first line blasters second motars and thirdmissles and drones works 75% of the time try it once with survivel

Wow the creeper spreading has really been sped up as off Lat half the time I can even get my first collector built before I'm completely overrun.

If someone gave me a penny every time i power all the totems before i actually want to leave the map, i would be millionaire.

People doing April 6th without blasters < I've been doing almost all of the missions without blasters. Drones are overpowered. Especially if there's any pools near the emitters.

April 6th no blasters is fun! did it with periodic drone usage but primarily I used about 25 mortars to push the creeper back. I did not realize until today that mortars can be used to push the creeper back uphill.

ever wonder what the fractal energy that odin city uses is doing? maybe its attracting the creeper... maybe its feeding the creeper who knows?

April 6th without blasters: awesome idea. I did it. I had a fleet of about a dozen drones going by the end. Nonstop bombing performing the function of "capping" the creeper.

One thing that really pissed me off is that on April 3rd, after I hit the 60 minute mark, It automatically put me into Survival mode.

needs a better mute button, that mutes all sound, if there was a map library and an omni-mute i wouldn't play anything else

4th of April is a little harder to set up, but if you can, it's actually one of the easier shadowbuilds. 1) Hit the middle/top island. Make a blaster next to the emitter up top, cover the island in collectors, and get another emitter at the bottom left. 2) Collector in the gap between the two islands, by the bottom left Blaster. Then get another Blaster onto the new island (and cover it with more collectors). With the blasters covering the area you should be able to cover the whole of the top left corner. Add a mortar into your base island (you can probably ignore the first few spore drops) and slowly move to cover the left side, then just advance, capping the top emitter when your energy finally catches up. After that it's smooth sailing, finished in 21 minutes.

Its a little hard, but You can beat April 4th using shadowbuild, only exception is to move the base to the top-middle island. It just takes a lot of patience to slowly chip away the thin spots enough to throw some more collectors, but its definitely possible.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Jeez, 4 april was hard, there is a somewhat long period of time where you have just enought to defend and bomb with a mortar.
Tip: go top, let the creeper advancing by the middle advance a little between the islands or you wont have enought energy. I couldnt make shadowbuild challenge without reactors.
