A Fun Little Game... Until I Broke It! - Buggos

[@light6666]

you can also just disable your hives to prevent them from spawning.. trust me deleting your hives is a big setback if loose your forward base

[@In.Gy.]

I'm pretty sure this doesn't work on the latter levels when the human drop pods start attacking your rear lines. At least, as far as I remember, I had to transition from builder spam to defender and swarm mother spam to complete the hardest levels.

[@russelljacob7955]

It would because the turrets are all there still. So they drop onto mass of turrets.

[@In.Gy.]

@russelljacob7955 Yeah, but they do a lot of damage. So you have to pull your builders from the front line to repair your eco, which leaves your frontline defenseless to the advancing enemy. You can't outbuild the later units, AFAIK.

[@autumnfox4870]

Builder + titan carries the entire original game for the hardest difficulty (I didn't build any other bugs), but the strat just needs slight adjustments for two maps in the DLC, mostly swarm mother/boomslug and wasp. When the drop pods come you just have to build networks of turrets in the middle of your pustules.

[@polish3717]

​@@In.Gy.just build more pustules in captured areas to assure economic security. Simple enough

[@theastral3958]

my idea for fixing it would be that you can place those turrents only on the green tiles you make by spreading around the map so they defend your base but cant just be flat out spammed onto the map you have little influence in

[@thejester-king4135]

Supposedly the tank buggo can have its armor upgraded to where only the human tanks still do damage; and it's only like one or two points at a time

[@TealWolf26]

Builders are stupid broken early but the game gets much harder. Custom levels also tend to be super hard, much like They Are Billions.

[@Artood4R2]

good to see the zerg have learnt from the protoss cannon rush and implemented their own

[@TheBlueMage16]

This feels like the alternate perspective of Factorio. Rather than build a factory/base to defend against Biters., you’re playing as the Biters.

[@intrepidmarmot]

Glad you got a chance to try out Buggos! If you want a real challenge, try the impossible difficulty :D

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

Tip: You can use other strategies, you don't have to just use this. This is the result of having a unit cap, anything that doesn't count as a unit but lasts will be infinitely powerful. Of course the response to this is "Make towers have a cap" which would destroy them for their intended use of being used as a defense. There is an fix though, have the turrets have 3 phases. Phase 1: Builder Sacrifices themself and the turret builds itself over X seconds. If the turret takes damage during this period it explodes hurting all friendly anything and causes other turrets regardless of their state to detonate in a chain. Building turrets as your front should not work period. Phase 2: Turrets start at 10% of their power and gain 1% per second. Turrets destroyed in this state create an object which prevents building on that tile for the remaining duration of the 90 seconds mentioned prior. During this state turrets within the chain range dying in Phase 2 or 3 will cause this to start a Turret Explosion Chain. Phase 3: Turret has 100% power as normal but loses 20% power for each turret actively in Phase 1 or 2 within the chain range.

Even if you discovered a way to cheese the game it doesn't ruin it, because you don't HAVE TO do this very specific thing that takes away all the fun. It won't ever happen by accident, it's only the player that can break the game and only if he chooses to.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

For the most part this is true, but if the game has balance issues such as everything else feeling too weak then it can lead to it feeling like the only legitimate way. I agree with you though it is an non-issue in this case.

[@russelljacob7955]

I think that fix would be if nutrients were required to fire or slower rate of fire on turrets. I dont think is a big problem, just unforseen. Balance would be that a wall of turrets can only meet the base offensive power.

[@whoopontrose2517]

If you feel like the spiff, depends on how many cups of tea you drank while making the video...

[@samueltrusik3251]

Who would win? The entire Human race or One all consuming Pravus boi

[@eshelshor5323]

Yes

[@Saijansfavorites]

watching you cheese the maps was downright wrong, yet so funny to see

[@TheHorzabora]

I know that tactic doesn’t work later on. Yes, it’s broken during the start and middle, but later on you’ll find it won’t work.

[@idiotgaming6376]

It can with seidge cannons enough seidge cannons *sniffs* a hour of firing and the lines shall break

[@Gemoron]

something I find more overpowered is focused research. neglect swarmers and focus on spiners untill you can reach defenders. defenders are much stronger but also only require one pop.

[@alamrasyidi4097]

the spiffing prav

[@adampf2635]

I would love to see more

[@theGreenChangeling]

Buggo the Builder, can we break it?

[@maltardraco9555]

Swarm Mothers are so OP.

[@josbud1112]

would be interesting to see spam artillery if it hits the whole map

[@social3ngin33rin]

Yeah, first thing I did though about was Zerg lol MY LIFE FOR THE SWARM!!!!!!!!! Neat game if you don't.max out builder :)

[@AllenYCLau]
