Had a lot of fun in this mission. At the beginning I was "Are you kidding me? No way this is doable." Specially with all the gloomy messages about impending doom from the north and my own colonists turning. But then I started pushing through and everything went better than expected. Not a single second of peace, though! Next time I might explore the city a bit more. I went for the tower straight as an arrow, I think I managed to destroy it before day 40.

I never had to face the giant... Kinda found the objective without actively looking, was just clearing stuff

The second titan let me crash the map, I completed in 23 days, I thought it was going to be alot harder (personally I found phase 8 harder), but this is still an amazing map. I cheesed the giant set up some walls and let him hit his face against them. I am surprised how few units I needed, 22 in my clearing army with 24 in total. You have created a brilliant story with limit resources, and I love how to turn out, can't wait for the last map.

You are on the level of the new rising star Wings of the Phoenix, I really like the trading system they put in the second map

@I'm Probably Batmand & @Nicol_Bolas - thank you both, very kind words. Let's wait and see what the dev campaign is like - I'm sure it will be worth the wait :)

@I'm Probably Batman
Agreed. Imagine what POBmaestro could do woth their resources

Thank you author for all of the effort put into this campaign. You did more by yourself in less time than the team making this game can do with all of their extra time and money. What more can be said
POBmaestro  [author] 7 Mar, 2019 @ 3:34pm 
@dcreucogodwin - let us know how you get on and if you need any tips or advice. I'm sure you'll be fine with a second Titan though!
POBmaestro  [author] 7 Mar, 2019 @ 3:33pm 
@Nicol_Bolas - thanks so much, that means a lot, even though I see myself as a mere hobbyist...

For info: Phase 12 has been built and will now undergo internal balancing over the weekend :)
Nicol_Bolas 7 Mar, 2019 @ 3:01pm 
very nice missions. this campaign is of extremely high quality. this mission again forces you to play in a different way. You sir are a master realtime strategy mission designer. And I say this as vet of almost any relevent real time strategy game (portrait related)

The begining of this map is rough I have only made it up to day 14 so far (second try so far), I think I luck out quite a bit and got a second titan from third mayor it should help alot. The park is going to be a nightmare to clear. I was able to beat traps and treasure, hopefully this map is not that bad.
✪_Ste3fan 4 Mar, 2019 @ 10:23am 
yeah at the beginning it was a littel bit dangerous but it works out^^
POBmaestro  [author] 4 Mar, 2019 @ 6:31am 
@(A.S.S) Projectn9ne - GG! I will be trying to limit iron in map 12 so players have to adapt...in the meantime try Phase 11X and see if that is still too easy :D

@Dinglefritz - well played glad you made it! Day 56 is a good time ^_^

@✪_Ste3fan - that's very odd and I've not heard of that before. Maybe try un-subbing and re-subbing and restarting the map? Playing it without Smith might be a challenge ^^
✪_Ste3fan 4 Mar, 2019 @ 2:57am 
in my version was no smith and no giant dont know what happend^^
Dinglefritz 3 Mar, 2019 @ 2:41pm 
Awesome, just finished. Granted it was day 56 and I'm super slow, but it feels so good to finally get it. I had to blitz the tower with my snipers after killing the Giant xD else another wave would have caught them all outside my walls. Love the sniper movement Mayor, that guy is the real MVP lol. I love these scenarios, keep up the great work and thank you so much for the advice!! ^_^
Projectn9ne 3 Mar, 2019 @ 1:19pm 
didnt even kill the giant :)
Projectn9ne 3 Mar, 2019 @ 1:18pm 
just beat it good ole sniper mass still strong as ever
POBmaestro  [author] 3 Mar, 2019 @ 12:34pm 
@Dinglefritz - I'd say clearing to the Olympic Park should be your goal before the ~28 day wave.

Some tips (spoilers):

First use your soldiers and then use walls and ballista's to hold off the constant waves on the flanks. I would wall off the bridge to the Olympic Park and put up a few ballista's to hold off the constant waves as it is the hardest hit. Then have your troops push south towards a bridge to the left of London City Airport is probably the best way. The key is not to get bogged down by the constant waves - you have to be a bit aggressive and use your soldiers to push them back.

Hope this helps!
Dinglefritz 3 Mar, 2019 @ 12:03pm 
Okay, so maybe I just suck (I do), but I'm at a loss as to how to beat this. I think I'm just not expanding quick enough/efficiently enough. What is a good time to have cleared up to the Olympic arena?
POBmaestro  [author] 3 Mar, 2019 @ 12:02pm 
@Venorik Barra - thanks for pointing out the duplicate Warf. I saw that on a stream yesterday and forgot about it! It's fixed now. That could have been a cool concept to have all the remain infected attack (and would have been do-able technically) but it would have gone against the lore and might have been a frustrating surprise. The distress signal was meant for another reason :)

@4ra - glad you got there in the end. Good ol' Titans!

@base222222 - no problem, let us know if you need any more help.
Attila666 3 Mar, 2019 @ 7:48am 
a ok, I found the way to take eva to the command :)
Attila666 3 Mar, 2019 @ 7:02am 
I'm sorry, but how can I keep all the houses from every storm?
Katua 3 Mar, 2019 @ 6:18am 
I definitely don't need the X version, 4 games till I made it. I killed the giant with some titans.
Venorik Barra 2 Mar, 2019 @ 7:52pm 
Once quick thing, the Warf (Academy of Immortals) is actually two, stacked on top of eachother. Pops up the message when you claim it twice as well. Other than that, very well done, had a nice unique twist that it was simply the shear number of standard infected making it a challenge, not an overwhelming amount of specials. Was hoping that when you destroyed the control tower, it would send out a 'distress signal' that made every zombie on the map attack, but oh well, time to go for the +X. :)
POBmaestro  [author] 2 Mar, 2019 @ 2:35pm 
@Evolv3r & @Ctdsx - thanks, and for the non-X maps I didn't really want giants to be a problem. In 11X there are 8 giants so at least one should get in the way as they are indeed poorly controlled =)
Evolv3r 2 Mar, 2019 @ 1:21pm 
@POBmaestro Great work man ! The giant wandered away for as well so didnt have to fight him. Great looking map though !
Ctdsx 2 Mar, 2019 @ 11:41am 
In my playthrough giant just wandered away to sous-west from the guarded object.
Seems like giants are bad gatekeepers =)
POBmaestro  [author] 2 Mar, 2019 @ 10:57am 
@Pmox - nice, well played!

@zuma202 - there are some hints on the mission fail screen. How far are you getting? I'd suggest using Smith down the "middle" towards the Olympic Park and soldiers/snipers/ballista's holding the two flanks. And keep trying to build up your economy :)
EYDA 2 Mar, 2019 @ 12:02am 
I just finished it, I took the gaint away and destroyed the building:lunar2019smilingpig: with sniper
PeteyPablo 1 Mar, 2019 @ 5:45pm 
I struggled.. any advice or tips?
Ctdsx 1 Mar, 2019 @ 11:57am 
Yay, phase 11 already. You keeping your schedule, that's really great!
Looking forward for 12th March :ori:
POBmaestro  [author] 1 Mar, 2019 @ 3:35am 
@Netrivo - thanks, glad you enjoyed the map. It's really up to the player to decide if they want to explore the map fully for fun or just complete the map via different routes. If this was too easy try Phase 11X :D
Netrivo 1 Mar, 2019 @ 3:27am 
A shame I couldn't check all the messages. I destroyed control tower on the way while half of the map was cleared. Took 39 days, 80 snipers, 170 soldiers. Amazing as always, nonetheless!
