Quick guide on invasions.

[F_F]

Ok so here's the easiest way to deal with the invasions.

1. Get 2 spear rats, a Squad Command Center and Shrine of Dog. You might want to invest in a few tax collectors too since you wont be running Shrine of Rat.

2. Take your 2 Spear rats and hunt down the Tombstones as they spawn, your objective is to not have any on the map. When you get all the initial ones one will spawn every 2 cycles or so and you just repeat and go murder it with your 2 Spear Rats.

3. Around Prosperity 5 or 6 I forget exactly you will get new invasions. These new ones are stronger but are limited to two spawns at a time. Six Greatsword Rats from the Combat Academy will be enough to deal with these.

4. Once you locate the spawners make a direct path from their spawners to your burrow. Make the path with lots of jumps up and down. Then either fill this path with Poison traps or enough barricades that will slow them down enough, so that you can deal with each spawn one at a time. It is important not to mix barricades and traps because this new enemy can heal and will do so if they hit stuff.

I just spawn camp the tombstones instead of destroying them.

I get my squad on top of tombstone if I get warned of coming attack, one hit it with my sword (only if the tombstone is dancing), my squad will instant murder the rising zombies. Repeat with other graves during the day. By night I won't even get the invasion pop up.

By prosperity 5, tombstones will no longer respawn, just finish them once and for all.

As for the weasels, pit traps are more than enough (it won't kill their tanks).

I drown them. Again, doesn't work on tanks and it speeds things up if you poison them first. Just be careful to lock the door so your soldiers don't fall down themselves. Those dirt tiles on the right is because I was saving private Hazel who really wanted to fight some weasels.

When they release the lizards, you know they are going breath under water.

By the way, don't destroy tombstones after the weasels starts to spawn. The game will only spawn enemies from 4 spawn points. Leaving the tomb stones in will cause about half of the enemies to still zombie rats instead of weasels.

Woah some interesting methods there. Haven't tried the push traps myself because I always end up stopping them from spawning overall lol

Push traps are OP if used right.
Use them my friend.

Should mention that the royal forge is strong. Very little investment for a whole lot of defense. The defensive sword and the armor can make you tank and clear everything yourself without help for a long time
