@ser Lagsalot - thanks for the feedback, I thought the bug was caused by the killing of the independent unit and then placing units in the tower, but it must just be placing the red health bar units in the towers. Glad you made it in the end and are enjoying the maps though :)

@POBmaestro I didn't kill the Shaman, not once out of 4 attempts, and it only randomly seemed to effect rangers in towers. Can't wait for the devs to fix it. Unpredictable bugs are less than stellar.

I did manage to beat the mission eventually though. Been enjoying the story so far, and the maps have been great, for what it's worth.

@Ser Lagsalt - or just don't put Rangers into Towers as that is what is causing the crashes. Or don't kill the Shaman ("push" her into the base so the infected don't kill her either) and you shouldn't get the ghost rangers spawn. It's out of my hands...still waiting for the devs to fix.

I've got ghost rangers hanging around. Three of them so far. Put a ranger in the towers and they split into two, one on the ground I can't click and one in the tower I can control. They seem to enjoy randomly crashing the game shortly after appearing. Guess I'll have to skip this and go straight to part 2...

Ah yeah of course. Cottage (I didn't know about that) and sniper... duh! Forget about part haha

@sunndance - thanks for the feedback. Some of what you have said is intended, some is just a mystery! What do you mean about the use of the research? The Wood Workshop is there to research cottages and snipers only.

Hey POB,

Yet another nice map (Yeah I somehow ended up playing some in different order.. sorry!)
HAH! Never knew you could upgrade the tents lol silly me. I simply deleted some mills to free up workers and get some extra snipers.

I had the same issue as UberVadok. 'Cept I only noticed it at the very end when I only had one giant to kill. Walked up to it to lure it and POP gone. Weird.

Great way to show everyone how powerful Luci is. With the correct use (chokepoints) it can take on quite some waves. I was slow again and beat this on day 40+ so the waves got pretty big, but Luci + the rest of the army behind him picking off the biggies + spitters held them off every time.

One other issue I noticed (Happened twice) is that the top tesla got infected (the one that is not infected in the north) and therefore I was able to walk passed it and unlock Luci before the 1st wave was coming.

Oh yeah, what is the use of the research? Is it tech to bring along to the next level?

Cheers
Sunny

@UberVadok - glad you liked the map! Strange about the infected dying by themselves - not seen or heard that before on this map and it's not intended. Not sure why that happened to you, but well take it as lore that "there purpose was over"...

Oh I also got bug with RED rangers, but they didn't cause any crashes. I noticed that they don't provide map vision, so u can order them to go into fog of war and lose them) U can still select them in this case. What a strange bug.

wait WAT? u can upgrade tents???!!! Well bth it doesn't really matter if u would have 5+ more snipers in the end. If u don't know how to properly use Lucifer at chock points u will be crashed by wave at day 18 as its too strong to beat in opened field.
What an interesting mechanics with even more limited resources :D GJ on map as usual! Took me couple tries to succeed.
Also nice trap with barrel ;) It costed me game when soldier who carried it, died and Lucifer set it on fire :D Boom!
The only thing i dont get is why zombies start dieing on their own after day 25, including giants! Is this intended? I was making up big plans on how to get pass them with sick ranger kiting, but in the end didn't have to.

@Arlague - thanks for your feedback! Ah that was risky as yes sometimes the infected to get through even iron fencing. But well done on making it that far without upgrading your tents! Hope you manage it next time :)

The map is once again amazing to play.

I did my first try today and lost, I gave my base up and tried to rush the end. I was expecting the iron fence to hold, but some zombies glitches through. Then I noticed in your screenshot that we could upgrade houses to make more solider (I was locked to 30 solider because of worker).
I will try again tomorrow with a new strategy.

Thanks a lot for those fun maps

A user who played regular 9 might have found the cause of the crash for some players. If you kill the Shaman then when you train a Ranger from the Soldier Center a Ranger might have a red health bar instead of green. This Ranger then causes a crash at some point, e.g. if you put them in and then take them out of a wooden tower.. I will report this to the game dev as a bug (nothing else I can do), but please try the following things until it is fixed:

1) if you get a ranger trained with a RED health bar instead of GREEN (you can hold ALT on the keyboard to see health bars), exit the map then CONTINUE from the main menu. This should change it back from RED to GREEN.

2) try not killing the Shaman - you can use Ava and the soldier to 'push' her into the colony.

If you are still having the game crash and these things don't fix it then please give me detail on when the crash occurs (there are crash reporting questions in the discussion above ^)

@LGM_Angel - sorry you had a crash. Did you try restarting the game and Continue the map from the last autosave? Any other detail on the crash would help. I've created a discussion thread above which asks some questions about the crashes - if you or anyone else who has crashes could please comment there with some more detail then I can try and get it fixed :)

Crashed on day 15. Very interesting and really hard. I'll try again tomorrow.Hope u can fix the problem.
