best map for 500 waves?

[bob smith]

what map is your favorite to attempt 500 waves in campaign mode? the first map should be the least amount of attacking bots right? it will take like 8-10 hours right?

Yeah, Ground Zero only has 2 kinds of land bots and 1 kind of aerial bot. Earlier maps would be easier, sure, but it also would restrict your tech. You could also consider maps like Desert Wastes that have short resting time between waves.

You should just choose maps that you're comfortable with, that you already know how to develop, step by step.

It shouldn't take 8 hours, maybe between 3-5 hours. When you already finish developing your map you can just start skipping waves (make sure your weapons are fully loaded and/or sufficiently cooled). And you don't have to do it in one sitting.

I actually find Nuclear Production Complex to be the easiest, simply because you have easy access to all possible resources and a lot of open space to build. I made my 500 attempt on that map and ended up getting past 2600 instead.

ok cool i will try nuclear production complex, thank you, how long did it take to get to wave 2,600? that must have been many hours right? did you get any bonus for getting past wave 1000?

I did 500 waves on ground zero. you can get all the materials/buildings except for thorium/phase fabric. if you bring 4k of each of those, you can get get everything you need to last 500 waves.

by the end though, there were about 700 enemy units spawning on each wave. kinda gotta babysit it for a bit till you get the rythim. took me about 11 hours including all the set up.
