Contested Territory - what am I doing wrong?

[Rogue Cat]

I played BMC several years ago, I'm back now on a fresh account, but I remember some tricks.

Me - city lvl 11, I have 6 ninjas (2/2), 2 bomb shooters (2/2), 2 spike factories (1/1), 3 snipers (2/1), 3 tack shooters (1/1), 1 ice (2/1). I die on round 12 of contested territory to MOABs before buying all these towers and their available upgrades. So I tried different setups many times. I used to lose on round 6 to regrow bloons spam before finding a working strategy.

Other dude - city lvl 9, has 1 tack shooter and 1 ninja (also some dart and boomerang monkeys, but these are restricted in current CT) - beats round 19. Another guy, city lvl 10, has more monkeys than the first one (but still less than me) - beats round 22.

So, either something is wrong or I'm failing epically due to complete lack of skill.

People are using cheats - especially on PC you can use WeMod to basically give you infinite health so you can't lose. It's mind-boggling that NinjaKiwi hasn't cease and desisted WeMod to take it down either because it's a free trainer anyone can use to cheat.

There is no Anti-Cheat so realistically playing Contested Territory is basically not worth your time. You'll never win; and if you do it won't last for a while. Someone will join and abuse WeMod.

TDLR: Only play CT if you are cheating

I mean, they can't exactly take down WeMod, since WeMod isn't exclusively a modding tool for their games, the best they could really try is to have them not WeMod host the mods themselves, not stop them from running

It's sorta like nexusmods; they can't (realistically) take nexusmods down because, nexus hosts mods for every game you can imagine, not just NK games, it'd be like trying to take down youtube for them having a single video that you don't like

I wouldn't say you "can't win" CTs against cheaters without cheating yourself, but its way harder to do ofc

We have new CT now and I think my previous CT was broken :/

Previous CT: MOABs in round 12, BFBs in round 15 (I managed to beat rounds 12-14 earlier today, before previous CT ended).

Current CT: I can beat round 31. First MOABs in round 22, BFBs in round 25, ZOMG in round 32.

Yep. Figured it was cheaters. Bro a level 5 with 2 whole units just got round 30, I knew it had to be cheating immediately.

Maybe I've just been lucky but over my 100s of CTs I've never had someone cheating. At least not obviously cheating.
