Level 3 Dedicious Forest.. difficult..

So the third level is SUPER hard to manage.. feels like i have no time to clear the trees to make room to make higher tier resources to actually mount a defence xD any tips?

First approach that worked for me to win back then was, that I fully ignored T2, just spaming initial towers, ballistas and catapults, while rushing with vision stuff along the path up to the castle. After that is found I mainly took care to search for the crystals. For me it was crucial to use the higer vision tower (above bonfire - forgot) since it covers more area. This run was then won/exited on day 4. All that you need is enough plank and stone production for the "light towers".
And, in best case you got the "more light per kill" levelled as far as possible.

Just be quick :D ..

Although you are suffering at the moment, it will be even more rewarding as soon as you will win! :P

Yeah i tried working my way through it to get to the iron/coal managed to get a lot of T2 bonfires but couldn't get enough damage to hold em back :( it will likely be a LOT easier once we can upgrade towers but i guess i should do what you said and rush the crystals/tower asap... is Level 4 easier?

Reach castle ASAP
Max out 40 towers ASAP T1
There is usually small iron deposits close, produce coal from wood- just make iron ingots to
Make Saw blades that replace acorns
Chop chop chop. i just build a row of wood choppers each with merger and clear as fast as I can to get to iron/coal
Get the coils to take down shields
Get the rockets to take down flying

Yeah.. i just kinda wish there was more time to do it all.. you gotta go SO quick to do it.. going slow and micromanaging the factory is fun but in level 3 you gotta go at the speed of light and be lucky its insane xD

Yeah, I personally would prefer to have some "build during pause" optional. I was struggling with that level, too. But .... you get used to it, and it is even more satisfying if you finally beat that crap.
Beside this you can do some "pause spaming" during building. In sum this saves substantial in-game time although not fully paused.

As a "reference" ... it took me ~21hrs of gaming time, until I have achieved this ... frustrating at first but then I was "overly happy". :D

I have wandering glade win. You need to focus on quick area depletion to set up higher tier factory. Set up an initial defense of towers while maintaining a setup producing logs, planks, as well as processing stones. you will need a lot of stones and wood to get rolling so clear as much as possible in clumps. Using this strategy get to iron production by night 3 and progress to furnace set-ups. Once I had 3 furnaces running I just maintained a flow of new productions as I gained more territory of light. spam sawblades and get special resources from spamming light towers. This was my strategy.
