So now that the game it out for both PC and XBOX, I wanted to spend a little time here and give out some tips for surviving the war. As you may have noticed by now, this is a hell of a tough tower defense game. We did that on purpose because otherwise, it would be boring! However, everyone needs a little help now and then and that is what this post is for.
First off, if your getting your ass handed to you and just can't make it through a level, turn the difficulty down in the options menu. That cranks the enemy health down by 50% so that it going to help a lot.
Level 1: You have two bases to defend and one alien spawn point. Use your free time at the beginning of the level to locate your bases and follow the path up to the alien spawn point. My personal strategy here is, put one flame thrower up close to the spawn point. Then right behind that, put two normal laser towers on either side of the path. Let those kill off everything that spawns until you get enough credits for another flamethrower. Place the new flame thrower on the other side of your path from your first one. As you get credits, build up another two normal laser towers close to your first two. As credits roll in, upgrade all these units at least one. As you can afford it, just build up a flame thrower, then a laser cannon, rinse and repeat. You can always upgrade these as well. You should now complete level one and get both available talent points because you never lost a colonist!
More to come...
