**Open Bases**
|
|
|
|
On this map, you start with around 500 alloy and 100 ether. You are probably going to want to expand to the bases in the
|
|
marked order, given the density of defending enemies shown on the minimap.
|
|
|
|
You should know that these are all standard bases that will mine out in 10 minutes. Giving a total of 18,000 alloy and
|
|
7,200 ether. Plus an additional 6,000 alloy from the starting Bastion. In the late game, you will have zero income,
|
|
aside from pyre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Enemy Spawn Areas**
|
|
|
|
The first enemy wave will spawn at 1 minute, and every 2 minutes after will spawn a new wave. These waves are small, and
|
|
won't be a threat until the 15-minute mark.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Pyre Towers**
|
|
|
|
You have till then to take all 5 of your bases, and set a defensive line at the outer Pyre towers.
|
|
|
|
The spawn size post the 15-minute mark does become rather large. You may be tempted to fall back and abandon forward
|
|
bases, but the waves will stack if not dealt with. Eventually, more units than the game can handle, so ensure outer pyre
|
|
towers are held. Try to take them back if you lose them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Pyre Camps**
|
|
|
|
When you have the time you are also going to need to take the 4 pyre camps spread around the map. It will probably be
|
|
ideal to split your army in half, to protect your two outer towers, and just have a small force of Ichors or Dervishes
|
|
to clear the camps quickly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Multipliers**
|
|
|
|
If you have additional free time, you can take out the Altar of the Worthys on the edges of the map to double your
|
|
current more multiplier: 2, 4, 8, to the max of 16. Amber Wombs will also spawn, with a pack of enemies to defend them.
|
|
Killing an Amber Womb will increase your score, but also spawn random friendly and enemy units. With this spawning, it's
|
|
possible to go past the supply cap.
|
|
|
|
But really, these optional objectives can be completely ignored, so you can just focus on surviving for as long as
|
|
possible. |
