Finally thank the flying pasta gods, that you finally kept a inner defense wall. When you are expanding and make new front line walls with bilista's on them just deactivate your bilista's that are on your inner walls. Since you are only leaving them there for when/if your bilista's on your front line get's destroyed during the final wave. Then you can reactivate your inner defenses and use them as your new front line of defense, with no worries of having power issues. :) And you can get past that final wave np.
SplatterCat: "I need more food"
Also SplatterCat: refuses to research advanced farms
I didn't realise Lucifers couldn't be mounted in towers to give them bonus range, that sucks.
Flamethrowers aren't a gas jet, they fling a flaming liquid, having a height advantage would massively increase their range, it makes perfect sense for them to sit in towers, even if they take 2 or 4 slots.
And in terms of their toughness, I would suggest that maybe enemies which have been struck by fire should deal less damage briefly, to make them tougher without actually increasing their health or armour, so they're still appropriately vulnerable to spitters.
like Jimmy two times "i'm gonna go get the papers. Get the papers."
Two things, Splattercat:
1) Good quality gameplay/commentary. Keep it up.
2) Advice - use the Chase command for units. With as many soldiers as you started this video with, you can pretty much send them out into the world with Chase, and as long as you check on them now and again, they would be able to clear the majority of the spawned zeds (they might have trouble with spitters and villages of doom). A group of 10 soldiers is usually good for every natural zed spawn except villages and spitters.
Also, with Chase you can be reasonably sure of yourself expanding into new territory. Plop a ballista down at a choke point your units clear and you will be sitting pretty with a TON of expansion space. Sometimes more than you need. In that case, keep building defenses at chokes, but layer your defense so if the hordes manage to break a wall they’re not already inside your main base. The more layers, the easier the final horde, which means aggressive expansion is key.
*You have a hole in your south wall!!!!!*
Episodes 1-10 "We are ahead of the curve as far as this game goes. Oh yeah, things are looking really nice, really nice. This is a good map; I'm liking this map."
Episode 11: "We're a little behind right now."
Alright I'm feeling nice and I have time to type this out.. Splattercat has got to be one of my favorite TH-camrs and I've been a long time subscriber of his. There's a lot of true fans out there and I just love his videos. I honestly think he's very underrated and think he should be way more famous than he is but he'll get there, so keep doing what you're doing man, don't try to do too much and change like most of these other big TH-camrs. Speaking on behalf of all your biggest fans, keep on keeping on.
Oh god, he's still not using move-attack.
the "not let you build at the edge" makes sense as otherwise the zombies could not spawn ;)
or would you rather have them spawn in your base?
true, but you would get into situations where you could force all the zeds to come from one way, making it way easier to def, (prob to easy? never played game)
It's a static spawn except around the city. They have already spawned so it would be impossible to spawn inside the base. If the end round is all zombies on map attack, then why would it be wrong to want to be able to cut off an attacking point?
"my reccomendation, keep the game on pause constantly" - SCG, hard to challenge that logic, can't lose the game.
18:38 " were a little stone poor. Its ok."
Me: I'm poor. It is not ok
I just binged this series and now I'm sad I have to wait. The nerd castle has gained a guard
The only billion thing about this game is the number of times you repeat what you say.
Imagine being a worker in this game. You get told to make a giant fucking ballista, only to tear it down to make a giant fucking gun in the same place right after!
Is it just me or does he keep on repeating words twice??🤔
That's been bugging the fuck out of me.
Yeeeessssss. It’s so annoying, like really annoying, just annoying how he repeats himself. Sometimes even 5+ times.
Pisses me right off
It does grate the nerves, almost as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard... Sorry, the rapping doesn't help either.
FapDeezNuts If it is that annoying for you then go watch someone else :)
I like how everyone is talking about how he repeats himself but I'm more concerned with how he just hit them notes out of nowhere got me shook lol but seriously it's not annoying Idk why y all are complaining like it's the end of the world cuz he repeated himself
this video seems to have attracted a great number of people who are easily bothered. thanks for this series splat! =)
That's the kind of challenge I love. See something that works/barely holds together and question yourself 'how do I make it better'.
How "smart" is the enemy in reality ?
If you leave a hole in your wall intentionally, will the zombies use it to get into your base, or do the prefer to chew through the closer wall ?
And what if you make a small funel with towers around it ?
I think it was splattercat that originally said the AI was very smart...I have not seen that much evidence of this beyond isolated zombies moving into an area that wasn't covered by troops. They will often attack a wall when they could just go around it. Stuff like that.
Edit: I've seen a zombie hit on literally ONE wall (one segment, isolated) that was placed on the side of a fishing cottage. So yeah...
it's a point of priority for the AI: is attacking a closer wall which takes time more important, than a longer way with towers, but a hole in the wall, which won't take any effort to get through (but the'll get shot)
Most of the RTS-games (at least from my youth) prefered the later one to get from a to b
they just walk in stright line into your colony center and kill everything what they see except walls (walls only when it on their path)
By end game if you have thousands of zeds going through a choke (one big if) the chances are they will make it through if there's not something like a wall to slow them down, if there is a video where this has been done and it worked without wall jumpers or spitters messing something up please link it to me
nobodx Zeds usually go for the first thing they see which is nice cause you can build single walls close to isolated buildings. Imagine you make a forward fishing hut. just make a single wall on its side. if a zombie comes (not a wave) it will just attack the walls. They are good at finding weak spots. But they arent good at targetting. So yeah Splat is right and also wrong in a way
Watch towers are OP btw being able to see a horde from like a mile away is super super useful
Random question? why do you repeat yourself? can you explain that to me i'm curious? Is it a choice from your side or is it just your thing ? :) i'm just interested ;)
Sings like an angel 😂😂18:57
Splatt! Your southern perimeter has a gap! Seal that leak on the double!
STOP REPEATING EVERYTHING PLEASEEEEEEEEE
I noticed that a few episodes back and I can't stop hearing it.................
Probably just need to get over it - he's narrating as he's playing, so he's obviously going to have split attentions.
Isn't there a hole next to the forest in the east wall?
Yes! I saw that and it bugged me solo much!
He needs to calm down he's panicking!
Shadowolf 57 it does, but there's free space between wall and forest there
Hey Splatt, I just thought of something that might be helpful. What if you used the market more frequently to get the resources you need? Because you can buy and sell you could pretty much balance your resources and money. For example at 17:49 your are waiting for stone, but your iron is full and your production is being wasted, so why not sell the iron your not using and buy some stone? That way you can spend a lot less time waiting for particular resources and everything balances out? Totally up to you :)
Love your videos Splat, your awesome!
Th3R00k131 Production isnt being wasted. Market automatically sells resources when storage is full.
Ahhh I totally forget that.
I am a fan but this constant repetition is driving me crazy
Its so fcng annoyng.
I have no clue why the first gameplay video of this game that he did showed up on my feed last night... But I'm fcukin glad it did! I've been hooked on the gameplay vids and was up till around 3am getting caught up.
I was hyped af when i saw the notification for episode #11 pop up earlier but i was in court.😓
Keep up the good work bro. You definitely earned my sub
Beyond toggling off excess turrets and ones in your inner rings, it's also worthwhile to micro your resource buildings, especially advanced quarry/oil platform. They cost much more to keep on than you make by autoselling the excess, so when your stores are full shut em down til you need em again.
Mph Mmph Nope. If you dont have market yet then yes disable. If you have market then no dont disable its worth it gold wise. IF we are talking about tier 1 quarry. Problem with splat is ... he is building advanced quarry which you should never really do ...
Executor is a pokemon lol
Yeah I suck at spelling pokemon names
Eggsecutor
"stone remains our stop gap" *proceeds to explain upgrading, but doesn't upgrade his quarries* Upgrade yo shit bro. farms, and quarries. just makes sense to me.
You're actually a very good singer
I'm glad to see you playing an RTS game! It's refreshing in between all the other games.
"I don't think Executor is a word" - this game has a building called the Soldier Center, I don't think the developers into names good. :p
So Lucifers are ideal last deffense? You know, they BBQ everything and if they die, they take zombies with them.
hey Splat
to be honest you are damfacking good at money, food and Workers
you should begin to expand your little army (like a Soviet Army) so you can clear the map faster before the next wave :)
Once you get Titans you need to take out that city. It's right next to you; if the final wave comes and the city is still standing, you'll be boned.
2 row of spikes and lucifers behind = Barbecue party :D
Way to few defenses in the south to build houses there. And north side of base has been ignored for awhile too
I use the lucifers to take enemy towns. Having 5 lucifers take the front can take most town if backed up with a couple of snipers. Snipers take the specials and as lucifers attack in a cone notmal infected cant get close. After the towns are gone you can keep them within the outer walls as sacricial units to buy time for your main force to pull back if the walls fall. I think if used correctly they are amazing units
Wow! 28 minutes just passed incredibly quickly! :O
I guess that's a sign of a great game and a really good TH-camr.
New subscriber, first time commenting. Absolutely love this series, it's what made me subscribe. Can't wait for more.
Hole in the wall at the bottom
Big daddy’s with flamethrowers? You mean a Panzersoldat
lucies are good and can fire throught the door
and make a huge amount of AOE damage, in a descent amount, the can do great but must be placed at key positions, to figure out what places that are is the difficulty sometimes. Thumbs Up for your vids, they awesome! :D
At 17:27 you had a spot for 56 instead of 46 xD Look closer next time, and watch were the green marker are on the ground.
The funniest thing is the woods that zombies cant get thrue this xD
they are billions: the amount of subs splat deserves
Maybe I'm deaf, or maybe I'm guilty of it myself, but I don't mind him repeating what he says. It's a nice quirk that makes me like him more
18:57 Perfect!
I think that the Lucifers can have a way different role - they can act as a breach fail-safe unit. So you keep them behind the wall, and when the wave pushes through, they defend the breach (the zombies get conveniently funneled through a narrow gap so the flamethrowers should be effective) Or they die allowing other units (titans / soldiers) to reposition to the next defensible position, or maybe even buy you enough time to build some makeshift defences during the attack (placing some additional intermediate walls, levelling existing buildings before they get infected, and so on).
At least this is the way I would use them, cause keeping them in front of the walls will get them killed way too fast (entire force of the horde and spitters will focus on them) while sending them with scouting parties will cause friendly fire.
Hey Splat i like your gameplays but i don't like how you alternate between games all that much so i appreciate you going 10+ episodes on this one. Hella fine work. Keep them coming, this rts is amazing especially in terms of AI. It made me think over my strategies and improve my game. My advice would be to focus on expanding aggressively and on military early on.
don't worry I'll destroy every zed that even looks at my wall
18:57 great little singing tho
I love splattercat but if I had to hear "executor" wrong one more time... I'm already drinking and eating comfort food. He was right, the word is from the person who executes. It drove me mad oh man.
Thanks for the episode cat
i think the lucies are supposed to be used inbetween walls from the front to the fall back wall to slow them down
Keep it going. This might be stupid but if you would be so kind, expand ridiculously fast and largely.
Your last horde came on 45th. So another horde on 60th sounds pretty reasonable imo.
4 episodes. but finally got those walls upgraded.
You should keep the wall for fall back points just Incase you get over ruined and have a few last stand points
Dat falsetto
Commenting so you have more comments.
He repeats himself in order to drive in his teachings you should be thanking him for his educational aid
"X-e-cute-or"!
thanks love the series!
Oh nono, absolutely "One who executes", you have lots and lots of references to Executor swords, King's Executor etc etc.
It's "Executor" - as in "appointed to carry out one's will / enforce the will of" - i.e. your sword, which is a bit tongue in cheek - but it does indeed carry out or enforce the King's will. It's not "one who executes" as in kills, but one who executes the will of.
Right! Executioner was the word I was looking for, you are indeed correct
Ok I just started watching you play and I subscribed cause you know ur cool. But Dude! Map awareness you commented when the game announced that you were under attack that when a horde runs through a city it awakens it, but the comment was for the others side of your base, like the exact opposite side. And you didn't need to break down your tesla building when the horde was announced, not even looking for where the horde was going to show up. Map awareness is like other that economy the most important thing in RTS games
You can tell he kinda forgot what he was doing when he played this map last.
Can't wait for thanatos units :)
Really enjoying the gameplay, splatt. Keep it up.
Your good on resources.. the problem is that you are not clearing the map.. which you should do by day 80 or so.. otherwise the final wave is going to be to huge
Maybe you could put spikes inside your walls in case of jumpers. Do you think that would that work? Maybe a dumb idea.
Love the video
You have seavrule buildings that havent been upgraded yet might want to do that =3
question is dose the explosion kill zombies? if so i think there ment as a dive bomb bomb unit for massive casualtys
Don't destroy ur walls when u expand... Leave them there as ur secondary defenses ... If not on they will breach ur walls and then its game over no defenses left for ur city
opened link and clicked like!
Random Question: Can you use the Lucifers as land mines....
You said they exploded when killed so if they were placed in a line along the path of the oncoming horde the line would systematically get over run with each unit exploding causing dammage as it got over run???
It has been bothering me, where do the people come from in this game? In other RTS games you can suspend belief and pretend they come from like nearby towns or are born, and such. But this game happens over like 3 months, and the rest of the world is full of zombies...

this is a surv game mode that is only available right now. But there will be a campaign mode later on in the next year. :) that will probably tell some stories

I find you can compensate somewhat your lack of aggressiveness with smarter building placement/management and micro management
Dude u sing good
You need to learn the attack move.
So... the shock pylon is too taxing to invest in defense but how about YOUR siege tactics. (If they are too inefficient for your base are they for holding off city zeds?)
Hooded Rookie Shocking towers are stupid expensive dont build them. Just build ballistas if you need them and then executors. But dont make too many as long as you know they can hold the waves. Then on day 70ish SPAM executors until the final wave. Just build them everywhere. its better if you only spamm in the end so you dont loose a lot of gold since the mid game. also first build walls. all the walls you will need for the final wave ahould be build before the executors because walls dont cost gold upkeep but towers do. If you build towers first you will struggle to have the gold to build walls. also nevee forget you can disable towers to stop them wasting resources when they arent being used
so I've gotten to 59 a few times now but for some reason i'm having a issue with before or right after the first wave where a zombie wave rushes one wall for days. Wouldn't really be a issue but its all running zombies and the suit ones in a great number coming faster then 12 archers 3 soldiers can kill. Even had happen on day 4.before and its far worse then the 2nd wave.
As far as I understand it, the selling price of ressources at the market is terrible and generally speaking in these RTS games you always want to make efficient use of what you have. So my advice would be to always keep building something (of course only the buildings/units making sense at the time) and not rely on the auto-sell-mechanism.
More please!
Hey um so what about that zombie town in the south
You have seemingly ignored the top of you base
Nvm the foot soldiers you need to fast rush titans and resources.
Kinda fucked yourself unless you can quickly expand and get a group of titans to clear the map
Smalz 4 At this point its too late. Titans should have been rolling out waaaaay long ago.
pretty sure you dont *need* titans over soldiers, the soldier he has can auto clear the map from now til the end and just one titan around 10k gold? (engineering center, titan research and titan) Whereas how many soldiers could you get for that, that could rofl clear the map by the time 10k worth was even bought? instead for 1 titan you get long range and a bit more firepower. lol.
Whiskiz Yo Mate first off you got something reaally wrong: Titans have more range than Rangers (!) lets alone soldiers. The gold "issue" is only an issue because splat has not managed his eco well. I get my first titan at day 30-35. At day 60-65 which is where he is now without a single titan I have the map 100% cleared with 15 titans at least.
Soldiers are near useless and VERY ineficient. Best strat with this meta is spamm rangers while you rush titan tech and then just transition straight to titans.
Whiskiz Yo Another reason to dont nake soldiers is they cost a lot food upkeep that you should be spending on houses to make more gold to rush titans. Also soldiers have stupidly low range and get rekt by spitter zombies even more so than rangers

2 stone that's like 5 quid XD
Righty Very don't sound no good to me son
WTF, how long should I wait!
I just subscribed to your channel and besides the occasional nagging I've got for shouting out where to build stuff the only thing I've disliked is the fact I can't play They are Billions myself
I haven't played the game yet, but wouldn't a good defence be to build multiple layers of walls and turrets so that enemy is slowed down and has to chew through alot to kill you?
TheKarstonian the problem is if they chew through one layer before the final wave you instantly lose because the loss of resources put you so far behind the curve it is impossible to win. You want to use as much space inside getting resources while still having a defense that is passable. Only on the last day do you start making a multi layer defense and tear down the resource buildings.
TheKarstonian so you need to have an excellent first layer defense because it is the only one that matters until the final day.
What Zorua Fox is says is pretty much correct: One front row typically is enough until the end, especially if you have titans as support. By the end you should have at least two rows of towers and about three rows of walls, like this: walls/towers/walls/towers/walls (and also as much as you can put in front of the first walls). And then if in danger, more towers behind the third row of walls (these walls should be two deep, plus whatever you can fit in inbetween). There would also likely be walls from your earlier expansions - these can have ballistas/executors that have been turned off.
For an aside: as an armchair critic (I have watched 10+ games of this from three different players), I'm predicting that this map will be a fail. If I compare his current progress to that of people who have cleared the level, it is behind the curve. I am making this prediction on the assumption that it is being played at a level to unlock the second map. It looks like most maps fail simply because the players are not aggressive enough in pursing economy, expansion and clearing. Once you have these three, it is so much easier to defend.
All the best though! I hope it does complete ^_^
I think you have mills you can upgrade still

Nice bro,,
