You can't redo hero's missions for more research points if you didn't collect some in previous run
Wow, I can't beat the game now because I was too lazy to pixel hunt and now when I stuck I have to start a new campaing. perfect.

The campaign is balanced around only getting about 60 percent from them in the first place so def can win without getting them all before pixal hunting I norm have found 70 ish percent as the flash makes them easy.

Furthermore if not playing apoc don’t need all the points hell even on apoc don’t feel about half of the points I had was needed. So can most def do it without any points from hero missions. So far from you can’t win now.


It’s been known repeating dosent give more points or change your record. It was said since it was added repeating is only for fun nothing else. Esp as going back you have higher hero level making it easyer to do side rooms and otherwise so makes it easier to get them witch is not the game the devs balanced around so makes total sense for them score to not change.

@60Hz how many points are you exactly missing? Maybe we can salvage your campaign without those points.
80 on both missions I guess. So around 30 on one mission and around 50 on another. I just can't beat some rly big waves of fast zombies because I don't have any aoe, even almost 200 soldiers didn't withstand.

Ok, that should be actually doable. Tell me which missions you have available right now, your difficulty setting and what you got unlocked on the tech tree so far. You should have either alpha communication center or the weapons factory still available for tech points (might have to do either hunter meadows or crossroads first).
can't get past coast of bones, narrow pass and some mines can't tell the name cuz russian version.

Do you have ballista's unlocked? Both coast of bones and Mines can be rough, but are doable with those. Beating those missions will be down to a tight build order before the first wave. I do have to know what kind of tech you have unlocked, so I can see what you have to play around with.
that's the problem I rushed for farm completely forgot about aoe towers, now I'm stuck -.-, gimme a sec I'll tell you.

Ok so my situation is:
50% accessible difficulty.
3 missions I can't beat: Cape Storm, The Narrow Pass, The Mines of Raven.
My techs:
Assault RIfles - <empty>

............................ - Cereal Farming - Commerce
Expert Workshop - Advanced Construction - Concrete (completely wasted tech points here)

Logistics - Mechanized Storage

I understand where I missplayed the tech upgrades but can't do anything about it now. I also have 80 tech points which I can spent only on stone tower, which I think doesn't help much.

I did complete coast of bones (didn't know its name so mistaken it for Cape Storm) with only archers but it required like around 40 of them on each side on accessible difficulty on a final wave.

For me the whole point of the campaign is the tech progression and the choices you make/unlock, because the campaign is really a series of linked survival maps dotted with 2 new incredibly boring mission types and 0 plot development. IMO tech points aren't optional no matter what other people or the devs say, because again, its the whole point of the campaign and its most important currency. You do get by with 60-70% Empire Points but then again, you're handicapping yourself if you don't pick everything, so its kinda like a second difficulty setting.

I guess you could press on with a lower difficulty, but I'd totally restart the campaign. Its the only sense of progression and its cool to see your new shiny toys in play. Just don't forget to lower the dif. while doing tactical and swarm so you get through that torture as fast as possible, specially on hero missions as there's less tedious kiting and the items flash more frequently on easier.

But hey, that's just me.

Ok, I'll try, thanks.

coast of bones can be beaten by 130 soldiers "assuming 100%" about 35-ish on each of the 4 sides can be won

mines of the raven is quite simple assuming you can survive the first wave mass soldier spam should be easy enough especially since you get way more gold than you should though try to win before the third wave as its... a bit big the key is playing conservative at the start and going full blitz mode after like day 24

as for narrow pass ignore that mission until later narrow pass is quite possibly one of the hardest missions in campaign what you should do is pretend that mission does not exist until after you beat the 3 skull missions good luck have fun

also try to get balistas/shock towers going

Care cape storm is hard without stone wall or shock tower. Or you need MASSIVE army of soldiers. one was talking about 500 soldiers in apo. if you're like me and lazy go with shock tower :D:lunar2019piginablanket:

Ok, I finally beat the Mines of Raven, took me 2 more tries but did it. Had enough tech points for shock towers, maybe this will make life easier xD. Thanks.
