You'd be surprised how much damage machine gun towers with an amp tower powering them up will do.

There's no amp tower on that level, it's the last level of the first planet.

My bad, but still, stick to machine guns and repair towers. You can build a couple repair towers behind your machine guns and have them cut down the enemies before they destroy your turrets, just block them off with machine guns put 2 repair towers to keep them going, and then throw up 3-4 AA's and you should be good to go. I got through this after a time or two easily after just starting right before, just keep trying.

Fact of the matter - was gonna get to that in the strat section - a machine gun can damage 1 guy. A mortar can damage MANY guys. Nothing deals with swarms better (even fast moving ones) than a couple level 5 mortars, machineguns and aa for support, and 2 upgraded repair towers. (if available) - the first moon has nothing that shoots back so its a cakewalk.

I'll make a vid tomorrow night, I have to sleep now for night shift tonight. I got all of Xipe in a row...not too tough.

Yes, but they're imprecise (shells may not land close to the enemies), slow to reload, and researching and upgrading those only wastes time/cash.

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, I just got done perfect clearing a level on Zeus, and I thought, hey maybe I'll try some mortars... kept failing. Went back to machine gun only, and everything was obliterated.

But hey, if it works for you, cool beans... this is just what's been perfect clearing every level for me so far and I've only got 2 left... so...

Thanks Frollard, the fact of the matter is i'm crap at these types of games, and the only reason i got 100% in pjm is because of you.

I totally don't dispute your abilities just saying, while one is occasionally inaccurate, many is devastating. having plenty of support towers, amps and repairs when available - you've got yourself a veritable doom machine. When you get bosses that are too tough for even upgraded pods of towers, you want a chaos upgraded to keep them in the zone longer.

lol, the guy at level 13 'is crap at x type of game'....you still got 100% - good job

Reaper - when dealing with the last few waves, mortars easily have the power to deal with heavy-armoured enemies, and since they fire slow, the predictive aiming is excellent.

[chucknorris078]

Not doing too bad now, i only got two more levels to go, just had to get use to it i guess.

This is a fun game, but the levels are becoming too easy when you start using amp/repair towers. But then become incredibly difficult without them. 3 more levels to go.
