Can anyone tell me what the point of the 20k walker hoard is?

[Brontanius]

Seriously this fight seems out of place in the campaign, I am currently playing apocalypse difficulty and thus there is 20k walkers but if you research wasps by this point, you literally just set up a square of wasps and you wait. This fight just seems really really out of place and even less threatening than the first mission in the game on this difficulty.

I think that with this particular mission it reveals how strong your units are and helps the player understand that you don't need THAT many units, rather just the right selection and use of them.

Just a thought :-)

The missions arnt made for apoc it wasen't even out when campaign came out there made for all diffs than scaled up. So on easy its only like a 4k hoard scaled up to apoc is like 20k. Its to teach players how to setup a basic defense and dose that well. Its not hard and not made to be.

[!?!]

You can also beat it with only rangers.

this any swarm that lacks specials is easy just build a block of lucifers and go talk to your friend and make sure he did not try to hurt himself again cause you know thats what friends are for

It's what we call poorly designed. Just put up your defenses and go make a sandwich.

Hello,

I have told to the Dev Team about what you say in this thread. Maybe they modify this levels but i really don't know.

Regards.

Agreed--I would have rather seen you push through the horde (aka, they are blocking your path to the next mission) vs defending against it. I'm not sure that would make these missions any more enjoyable though, but it would make more sense.

The combination RTS/Tower Defense is where TaB shines---building, defending, expanding, retreating, attacking---good stuff. I've been enjoying the survival missions quite a bit!

I would have rather seen the survival and hero missions combined. Optional objectives to explore and pillage an outpost while you build and expand your colony or something. At this point I drop to 25% on hero missions so I can quickly grab my research points and blow past the mission. I just assume do the same on the swarm missions I suppose.
