I can't get past 2800 I guess my mazes aren't good enough.

Pellet towers are a waste.
Typhoon towers do 320 damage a shot and shoot much faster.

The four rocket tower works wonders on planes. The Da towers work well on large groups of guys.
Haha! I have seized back second place!
5741 points and 18 lives baby. No one keeps 'em alive like me.
I need to push the waves earlier though. Wasn't till the last wave that any got more than halfway through my maze (excluding fliers).
Typhoons are great. Those frost towers are super cheap to upgrade. I find you really only need 2 level 4 or 5 anti-air for all the fliers, as long as your other defenses can help and aren't occupied.

The problem is the spawns come before the fliers and they take super long to defeat.
Finally beat Sasaki :grin2:
GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! SAAPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Once again, I'm knocked to third place.
How do you guys find so much time to play the game? It takes a good bit of time.
CR
I was just procrastinating and remembered this thread :grin2:
tbh I needed something to do while I'm finally dling the 1.2 patch for m2tw.
Pellet Tower fully upgraded=400 damage
Typhoon Tower=320
ICBM Tower=256
Storm Tower=480
Blizzard Tower=40
Quake Tower=320
I'm gonna try a game with only upgraded Pellet towers to see if that's any better than a mix of the other towers.
pellet towers fully upgraded are very slow. Typhoon tower will fire 4 times as often.
I may have found a use for the quake and icbm towers though.
The Pellet Towers fully upgraded are have about 4x's the range so they can hit a target 4-5 times before it gets outta range.
Well that didn't work as well as I had hoped.
Just wait till I get the air bosses with my new map...Quote:

I believe the high scores are achieved by people who 'juggle' - opening & closing alternate routes around the maze.
My tiny mind cannot compute how one goes about doing this..
I don't do it, but understand the theory.
You sell one tower, giving the creeps a way through.
As they are about to take it, you replace it.
They then go down an alternate route, at which point you can sell the tower again, causing them to replot what is the fastest route and turn around.
Rinse and repeat for some unfulfilling 'fun'
yeah, its a bit sad.
How can I upgrade?
Select the tower and then either hit "u" or click the upgrade button.
6794
frost towers right in the path of the air bosses. No one got through.
5362. I'll have to try the juggling trick.
Damn you this is adictive!
Oh well, I'm getting the hang of it.
Not a happy experience. As said in the rules, the more you sell your towers, the longer it takes. Much simpler to build a simple maze.Quote:

The tricky bit is to survive long enough to build that funnel, and situating your tunnel so it can defend against fliers as well.
I'm guessing they send a whole bunch of enemies at once, thus minimizing the amount of times they have to sell and getting a lot of bonus points in the process.
I'm guessing you send guys early to get a higher score.
5968, 20 lives. Those 2 blizzard towers really helped in slowing down the spawn bosses in the tunnels of death, allowing me to kill them off before concentrating on the fly bosses.
New league table published.
Nice to see you, Pannonian. Been avoiding Mafia games?
mmm 6620
1st place will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine...
(I hate this game; I have exams in two weeks, and deliberately have not been active at the org. so as not to get distracted. I just happened upon this thread in my one moment of weakness, and now my text books lie discarded in a corner, gathering dust...)
