Can You Beat TABS Challenge Mode With a SINGLE PEASANT?

Yoooo thanks! I probably never would have done this challenge or a solo-unit challenge had your video not inspired me to start!

[@starlii10]

There's a way to make a custom unit with 0 cost, so technically if you permitted custom units it would be 0

[@BarelyAlec]

I haven't looked that into the Unit Creator much myself so I don't know how it works with cost but you probably could do that lol.

[@pikastudios2850]

The minimum they can cost is 21 dollars if you set the cost to manual, so then you can just make a “dark peasant” and destroy everything, but it’s probably against the rules

This is basically “Put peasant on thing to lure units off the map”. Also, you can just turn on a gameplay setting that makes all units usable

Nothing wrong with luring units off the map!

[@WordFyle]

This now has me wondering what’s the cheapest possible when not manually controlling units

[@BarelyAlec]

Yeah, that could be interesting but would be really hard to know for sure what the minimum is. The upside to this video was that I knew 30 was always the theoretical minimum

The tactically challenging campaign isn't tacticallg challenging at all. It's skill challenging. (If you wanna try 1 unit) But if you don't do 1 unit challenge, most of the level can be cheesed with 1 ballista/gunslinger and some cheerleaders. 2 ballista if you have enough gold.

You could continuously spawn peasants until you spawn a tiny one (sizes are random) that fits under the trees. But it might take like 10 minutes to even get one.

Oh that's a great point! So they can spawn small enough to fit like that? I know they can spawn different sizes, but I don't remember the exact ones possible.
