Tips to help with medium badge for the quest. Map 1:Use 2 Dexers and 3 fire mages, upgrade your dexers first. (Now spend your point on fire mage cost lowering) Map 2(The one that has 15 waves):Use 1 Dexer and 1 fire mage on each of the entrances(Also add 2 extra fire mages, one after wave 6 and the other after wave 7, keep them fully upgraded at all times or else you'll let some through on the bat swarm[wave 8])(Spend your point on fire mage damage increase). Map 3(20 wave one, near the top of the map): Place 5 fire mages, avoid the 2 blocks on the NE side of the map(They don't cover much room). Once you get up to the last wave, spam dexers EVERYWHERE. You should get through with 29 lives left.(Re-asign your points and get archer and persuader1). (I'll continue this later).

Most frustrating game I ever played. Playing one hour on the marathon level to get the Badge Of The Day. One of the last waves has fire absorb. Couldn't kill a single one. But all down to 20% or less. No second longer will I play this game. And 'twas such a nice day...

I remember the first time I played this game it was fantastic and strategic. Now coming back to it years later to find they removed the Wave Preview bar makes it an absolutely terrible game. Later levels especially it is literally impossible to plan ahead for monsters that are flying or absorption because you CANT TELL when they are coming until the wave before. This turns it from a great, strategic game of planning out how you are going to build and upgrade throughout the level to just a stupid 'build and see what comes, then go back and try again'. Such a shame.

A single match takes like half an hour. Way too long! And then there may be one wave that's good against a specific type of mage and all that time is wasted.

If you have lags, the tip from Monsters Den works here aswell:
"I know the game runs slowly on Kongregate, but there is a workaround which seems to help. Right-click on the game and select Settings, then set the amount of storage to ‘Unlimited’."
Apparently some problem with old flash games. Spread the word^^

Checking through my older badges on Kong and saw this was the first game I ever played that offered badges. back in 2008. man how the time has gone by.

The more recent Protector games are pretty cool, and this one is perfect to see as an example of where the series came from. That being said, there's no way I'm going to subject myself to this level of pain for long enough to get the badge of the day. This game was not such a good start to a decent series.

Finally got the hard badge. Wrote some useful information in the wiki if anyone wants to go for it: https://flashgaming.fandom.com/wiki/Protector

Even trying to get 5 games for the best of 2008 quest is too much. I'm biased because I hate Tower Defense but THIS. This is to go even FURTHER beyond.

ok, an hour into this; its still not making note of any of the maps ive completed. If youre here for Badge Of The Day, play at your own risk! its not very fun either.

It seems that due a recent strange "security update" the .sol for the game was moved from the folder "pRotectoR-kONgRegate-1_0.swf" to the folder "Protector_Final_Secure.swf". If you want to get back your lost progress, just copy your .sol files to the new folder.

I love the more recent Protector games but I have to agree with the majority. This isn't worth the badge and I don't have hours to wait through lag with no speed button.

there needs to be a way to sell units and undo the wrong unit placements, every other tower defense game i know thats popular does this, and so should this game

A shame that it's so slow because of its age. I really do like the game, but it seems that Flash updates really hurt it in the long run. Maybe one day it will be remade properly.

I just want to say that I really love how this game treats the enemy. If you don't kill them, they just cycle through again. Very hard if you're facing a boss you can't kill, but very awesome.

Too slow, what do purple mages do? Does poison stack? What's the splash range of red mages? Why does 95% slow not slow them by 95%? So many questions that have no apparent answers

Road Scholar Badge needs to be changed to hard for endurance...seriously a bit ridiculous sitting here attempting the fifth "easy" level for about the eighth time, not even worth it this BoTD has been skipped

Not sure if this will work but, Map 5(Easy Marathon): cost reduction on dexer,fire mage,cold mage,energy mage, basically get 2 dexers then, 2 energy mages then, 2 fire mages then, 2 cold mages. have fun with your badge.(If it works, not sure on the element of the boss...)

(First of all, let me fix something from my first tips, instead of archer and persuader1, get reduce dexer cost, reduce poison mage cost and reduce fire mage cost) Map 4: Start with 3 dexers, SAVE UP, just before the bat wave get 3 poison mages, on wave 6 save up, then get 3 fire mages before the rat wave. After that just upgrade, and place random units if you have alot of spare money =D. You should end with 25 or more lives remaining. Map 5(The Easy Marathon, which happens to be quite hard): I'll put it up in the next post.
