My First Attempt Impressions:
This is a pretty hard level. I was very frustrated by it.. but it's winnable. Things to remember..
When I played this again after playing more advanced levels till 80, it wasn't that hard. The full approach was: I gave up on the beetles colony as it was in the hot zone, surrounded by 3 spider colonies - 2 of Blue and 1 or Red. But I wanted to make the most of it, so produced a cannon and positioned it to attack the Blue spider colony closest to my Wasp colony.. this got killed soon by a sniper, but I tried. Meanwhile, I had produced couple of paralyzes, several assaults and few sonics.. used them to protect the colony (tried to keep the short-ranged sonics out of it though).. Also, I had one of my assaults go and safely attack the blue ant colony to the far West. It acquired it and stood guard.
Once I had enough number of wasps (4-5 sonics at least, unless the spider colony health was low enough, and many assaults, so that turrets won't finish off the sonics soon and they can bring down the colony), I barely finished off the spider colony.. 2 wasps survived.. after couple more pop-ups, I had enough assaults to defend and let the spider colony heal. I had started bull ant production and simply brought down many ants to just stand around. Started producing snipers and later missiles.. Took the snipers and started conquering the smaller colonies including the Red beetles next door to the home wasps.. then the small ant colonies.. and went all around until the next one was spider colony.. By now, I had enough missiles.. used them to take over the spider colonies too..
This is a pretty hard level. I was very frustrated by it.. but it's winnable. Things to remember..
- Paralyzers are very useful in disarming attacking forces..
- Assault wasp can, when correctly positioned attack ant colony without being fire upon (in the direction of one turret and not in the perpendicular bisector of the 2 turrets).
- Similarly, there is a point where the cannon can safely attack a spider colony (in the perpendicular bisector of the 2 spider-colony-turrents). Don't give the colony as target to the cannon or it may go a bit too close.. just keep moving the cannon closer to the spider colony along the perpendicular bisector until it starts attacking the colony.. It will take quite some time to bring down the colony though with this approach. If you position very carefully, you can position 2 cannons side-by-side and both be in safe zone (but it may depend on there being no obstacles in the landscape also).
- You can attack a beetle colony when it is busy handling some neutral growth (lolly, popcorn plant etc) and avoid getting attacked yourself.
- Your win may depend on chance events like how the 2 enemy colonies are panning out.. If one color ends up dominating too early, then you may not stand much chance, and may have to restart (that's what I think).
