Desktop Tower Defense: 6280 on Hard

July 8th, 2007

TechnologyI just finished the “hard” level with 6280 points and two health to spare. Actually I got a lot of help from a coworker that was using this basic map that fills up the top left corner, and alternates squirt towers with the plus towers. I pretty much stick with that and put some anti-air ones in the middle. The dart tower and the line going up the right side came about when I got desperate on the final levels.

Here’s the map.

All I’m really doing is building one squirt tower and upgrading it to the max before the next one. It’s pretty important to build one at the left and then work from the middle towards the upper left so you are covering the center area for when the planes fly over.

Then in between the squirt towers, lay down the “plus” towers to fortify them.

Still just barely finishing the last few levels, especially the two planes that fly over. I think doing better on hard will just mean honing a build order on this map. Thanks for all your tips.

Hopefully the monkey is off my back (fingers crossed)…

    I haven’t found dart towers to be all that useful. After a bunch of experimentation, I try to strategically deploy squirt towers around freeze towers and build them up to the highest level as quickly as possible. I didn’t bother with air defense towers for a while, but I think they were key in getting me over the hump of getting past the level 50 (on the 100 level challenge) and level 72 humps. I’m hitting a wall now around the level 80 mark.

    This is all on v. 1.2 by the way. I haven’t had time to figure out the new towers available on v. 1.5… and that’s probably a good thing!

    Yeah I never played 1.2 - been playing 1.5. I really only like the range of the dart tower but am concentrating on just squirt towers, plus towers, and anti air and freeze.

    This is a great strategy. I credited your site in my syndicated column and blog. For some reason the trackback link didn’t work. Nice job.
