Our Engineers have foolishly built our base on an Alien Nest.

Intel suggests, There will be an early release of hordes to take as many cores as possible.
If they get any cores, it will slow our defense resources.

DO NOT let this happen………

Hey Chris,

Awesome work.

I’m a big fan of your work & I love this map, but I think the balance needs to be refined somewhat. On most of your maps, I can with practice, achieve gold on ‘normal’ or ‘hard’ difficulty setting after 4 or 5 tries. With this map, I was able to achieve ‘gold’ very easily on ‘easy’ mode, while on ‘normal’ difficulty, I could not get past wave 10 even after 15 tries without losing all cores.

My suggestion would be to slightly lower the difficulty on ‘normal’ mode for better balance.

Thanks again and fantastic map!

Hey Chris,

Can I ask are you playing ‘open’ or ‘competitive’?

Cheers from Australia 🙂

The game is set to ‘open’.

Cool just needed to know so I know what is available to you.

Make sure you have what weapons you are going to use at level 5 boosted eg I can get through Open Elite by using only the following:
Temporal Level 5 Increased Slowdown
Concussion Level 5 Fire Bombs
Missiles Level 5 Priority Target Strongest

Make sure you use Distruptors spaced out so they link up. This will stop the the stealth Aliens hiding your non stealth Aliens.

I had a go at Open Normal and with the above setup stopped building half way until the end so you should smash it in.

Hope that all makes sense and helps you win 🙂

Cheers

Hey FCP,

Whoa! Just figured out what is meant by ‘Level 5’. Never played any of the maps with the enhanced weapons! Will try it…

amazing what happens when you realize you’ve been playing the game over a year and didn;t realize you could use special abilities on weapons, duh! 🙂

Just for you Chris, this was my setup up to wave 29

This is in Open Elite which actually I found pretty easy.
You will need to add some lasers further on towards the cores for the rumblers and later on in wave 34 (which is nuts as per normal Sharky). Good luck!

Thanks! Used a minor variation of your method and it worked out well. Will also play with other variations for added fun…

Cool, you’ll find what you like using and certain setups which work best for your play style.

If you ever get stuck and can’t beat a map on Open Elite there are a heap of people here who will help you out.

See at the top of the Leaderboards 🙂

Hey Shark,

Awesome map!

Really liked the script you have used on all modes and especially for Super Grinder where the waves were massive.

Great challenge.

Keep up the great work.

Cheers from Australia 🙂

5 stars, this is my kind of map, the strategy i prefer when i play DG2. This is a bit like asteroid and i really appreciate asteroid. Good Job!
P.S. By the way, you guys playing “Prime World Defenders”? There is some really nice map in that game than we could use with GD2. Wish i could make map.
