Can You Beat Creeper World 3 Without Cannons or Mortars?

Creeper World 3 is a tower defense & Real-Time Strategy game where the player is tasked to build a base and defend it from the liquid fluid known as the Creeper, alternatively called Living Tsunami by some. The Pulse Cannon and the Mortar are the first towers you get, and are also by far the most reliable that are also the best in almost all situations. If we prohibited the use of these two towers, how would we survive in the earlier levels of the main campaign especially since nothing else is unlocked!? And even then, we'd need to make best use of the other flawed units if we manage to obtain them...

As a fun little factoid, most objects can have rounded corners on their terraformed platforms. So instead of having to terraform all 9 squares of terrain for a nullifier, you can just terraform 5 in a diamond shape. Helps a lot with speed.

yessss CW3 thank you so much for covering this game

[@ericb3157]

7:23 one of my favorite tactics is a combination of Terps and Sprayers, and terraforming in a similar fashion. 9:20 i used to think that a Forge had to be connected to a command post to keep your upgrades working, but i recently discovered that it only has to be supplied with energy. i figured this out when playing a tricky map that's almost entirely covered with creeper right at the start. 14:42 there's a Steam achievement for winning that level without ANY weapons except Neutralizers, by using those pyramids. one acts like a giant shield, one produces lots of anticreeper, the third one makes strange robots that wander around and release anticreeper when they are destroyed by creeper.

Once again reminding me of why I subscribed to this channel! Also I highly recommend particle fleet as there are absolutely crazy playthroughs you can do with minmaxed custom ships! I haven't really tried myself but I think it MAY just be barely possible to win without using weapons and just ramming, at least on the main campaign not really sure about the extra levels. Or you can try something else because of how many quirks does the ship editor allow. If you haven't played yet at least give it a try and see what I mean.

[@trickygamer555]

Ramming is THE MAIN STRATEGY in particle fleet. It's by far the most efficient.

I keep seeing random games I love in your channel lol. Side note, I noticed a few earlier levels you can beat more safely if you fly your odin a bit. It can still produce energy while midair, so if you fly it towards where your nullifier is, you can cut down on the time the energy packet would need to travel.

[@AverageMichaelJordans]

YOOO I WAS WAITING FOR A CW3 EPISODE!!!

[@chaosvolt]

Tactical thievery to unlock the next level is not a strategy I was expecting to be required, but nice. And I can already see that with sprayers being your main ground unit, abusing the ability to stockpile extra reserves of anticreeper in sprayers being important for a lot of levels. Funny enough I found myself frequently using a variant of that tactic in CW4, since in that one sprayers unload all of their stored anticreeper at once when destroyed, so building up a massive stockpile of suicide drones to drown part of the level in AC is a viable way to start an offensive.

[@saniancreations]

One tactic I sometimes use is to fill up a sprayer with anti creep, send it into some creeper and have it self-destruct. It will drop all of the anti-creep it was holding at once, it's basically a big anti-creep bomb.

I like doing something similar with Mortars, building a lot of them and moving them deep into Creeper until I have to heal them.

Ahh yes, Creeper World 3... Seeing that last level with the 'intended' way of finishing it is always satisfying to watch as the Loki comes in droves. The achievement for that level though, god damn it's precise. It was to beat the level before the hive ship finishes building. I recall just doing a specific line of regular towers and emitters, there's absolutely no time to build anything else.

[@Azullia]

Ah, someone remembers this game! Btw, I just wanted to put a few things here to people who want to attempt similar challenges: - For Farbor, you can just about nuke the bottom-right enemy ore processor at the start of the map, but it does cost 2 CNs (I've tried with 1 and it doesn't seem to be possible). Don't worry, the two CNs will be useable again after a 30 second cooldown, but it will cost you one of the possible starter islands as well due to how long it takes to build and charge a nullifier. - Sprayers release all of their remaining AC content when they are destroyed, regardless of how they are destroyed. You can amass a large quantity of filled, disarmed sprayers and move them into the Creeper before either letting them be destroyed or by manually destroying them for a huge burst of AC.

Mmm, I think you should try doing a challenge in a game called Forager. I'm not sure what challenge though. I still think some Forager content would be cool!

[@RedPandaTables]

Not trying to be rude but Forager quickly turn into an idle game, even casually it isn't a hard game at all. If you try to avoid the idle stuff as part of the "challenge" it would just turn it into an annoying game not a challenging one. I like the game a lot personally but it simply not much of a game for challenges.

[@oxygennnnnn]

@@RedPandaTables that's understandable, it's definitely fun but your argument is definitely valid. There is a way to make things more challenging, so for example, buying all the islands without economic skill tree upgrades or defeating all the bosses without combat skill tree upgrades, things like that. Idk if it would be worth a video though.
