those gates on the right side were a really bad idea, plus no walls behind them?!

[@syrusalder7795]

exactly what i was thinking I had played the map before I saw this video, and I started to sweat some hefty bullets as the days ticked down and that right side stayed as vulnerable as ever I suppose kibz saw that zombies, due to their programming, tended to form streams and once he realised where that stream hit the wall, just bothered with his main defences there, assuming that they would mostly hit in that spot Which is a tad of a mistake when it comes to having a single final wave on a bridge map. Which is something he should know from experience. But oh well, he managed to pull it off anyway.

[@TheBlobik]

@@syrusalder7795I am not sure if this weakness did not cause the win, eventually. The weakspot caused the zombies to spread out around the towers, allowing more units to start firing (if the wall was homogenous, then only first few rows would be able to fire at all). Plus many zombies seemed to glitch a little and move sideways - wanting to attack the front row of towers, but being pushed aside by other ones into this weakspot. It is possible that as a result they got killed by further rows without doing much damage. I am not sure though, I do not own the game so I am not sure if zombies who have no attack animation do no damage or maybe if this is just a visual thing.

[@radec1906]

Actually there are two certain breakpoints in this game. If you want to finish in 800% with maximum efficiency there are two tech you would want to rush 1-Plasma Spheres before Cape Storm which unlocks Shock Towers and they are your main defence from there on. 2-Articulated Vehicles and/or Combat Artillery which unlocks Titan and Executor respectively before The Noxious Swamp. Because Ballista and Shock Towers are unable to stop Spitters and Soldiers and Archers are swarmed at 800% and cannot have crowded Sniper army in time. Therefore getting a Titan or two or 2 Execs can clear the entire swarm easy peasy.

if you attack manually with a unit after it has attacked it cancels the animation and it attacks right after. ou can do a mchine gun which is pretty helpfull at starts I discovered this today. dosnt works as great against multiple targets while controlling a lot of friendly units because the attack diiscoordinate.

[@DraconiusDragora]

Note: The Wasp is not seen as food for the zombies, so you can build them, and they will be ignored till they start firing. They are okayish within the horde missions, as they have high fire rate with decent damage. And there is a Train upgrade that gives you a free Wasp every 24h which makes it easy to get a early defense up, if you have gotten to the point of getting them that is.

Or just Shocking towers, they are ridiculously good on this mission, you are unlikely to lose even a single one, since even if zombies break through walls and start damaging them, they clear zombies in a large enough area that for just a fraction of a second you can actually start repair on them.

This is probably the Inn's best mission, because nowhere else do you have that much time (and/or space) to get such an economy.
