Fruitful Garden v1.0

[knelson]

The Free Radicals and ACME both continue their separate quests to take over the number 1 spot in the mining industry. ACME has identified a planet where the Free Radicals have just begun to setup mining operations. They have just built 2 bases, one in the Northeast and one in the Southeast quadrant and are in the process of establish a third and final base. Your mission is to establish ACME's mining operations. Stop the Free Radicals from establishing their third base and to eliminate all traces of the Free Radicals from this planet.

knelson, congratulations on an excellent mission. There is really nothing to say on how to improve it... just keep up the good work!

[51Cards]

Great mission... I have thrown everything at this one several times and keep getting wiped out entirely. I'm starting to think this one is unwinnable... but I know there must be a way

Keep up the great work.

Yes, this is a very challenging mission. I always make sure I can win the mission before posting the mission. In my opinion it is one of my most difficult missions ever, but it is indeed winnable.

[joshlerman]

Wow, it took me a bunch of attempts -- and different strategies each time -- but I finally beat this mission.

You have done it again Knelson, another great, challenging level. The layout was superb, and the objectives were spot on.

Only minor point was that when I finished the level it indicated that I had not stopped the convoy from establishing another base, even though I had indeed taken care of them. Nothing major, but I wanted you to know.

Looking forward to your next creation!

[51Cards]

Finally finished it here too... excellent work! Took a lot of different methods to finally clear the map. I'll probably try it a few times more as this time when all the dust setlled I had Andy and 6 Liberators left after selling all "extra" buildings for more cash

Looking forward to your next release!

[knelson]

Thanks guys for all of the positive comments. It really inspires me to create every better missions.

[Jazz3D1]

Good News:
1.) Another great mission.....your missions continue to improve each time.
2.) Great map layout and deception to complete the mission. I had to play it twice and change my strategy the second time around.
3.) I like the level of difficulty that you map provided when traveling through the elevated areas. The Andy's also added some additional difficulty.

Recommendations:
None.....other than keep up the good work.

I look forward to your next challenge

[Donw35]

Nice level, took me a couple of tries to complete it. Thats what I like about it.

Nice work..

[Liberator]

I've found your missions are challenging and professional. Did you get any special help from the WI developing team? or, you learn how to do it only from the mission editor's documents?

[knelson]

Thanks for the compliment. No, I haven't received any help from WI development team. However, I do have a programming background which helps tremendously. Basically I've learned by trial and error. The best thing to do is to start with a simple mission. I think the more levels you create the better you get and the faster you can create them.

[Liberator]

Completed. Let Andy be the one man's hero to destroy the last main base.

I used the same strategy to complete mission 'Desert Sand'.

Personally, I think Desert Sand is by far the hardest mission you created.

[eric2002]

I haven't played desert sand,
but this is without a doubt the most difficult mission I've played.

I've tried 2 different strategies, but am now going back to my original strategy as I feel it is a better one.

Let me get past this level so I can get on with my life!!!!!!

[eric2002]

I still haven't conquered the enemies in this level, but I did reach a significant turning point.

I believe the game is now in my control, ...I just need to mine a little more galaxite, create another army, then finish off the enemy!


This is one of my favorite missions, very challenging!

[knelson]

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying this level. That is the same feeling that caused me to purchase WI. I downloaded the free trial and was so engrossed in the game after completing the trial that I simply had to purchase the game to get the additional levels.

I tried to create the same type of atmosphere in all of my missions. I'm sure you will enjoy them all.

[DONTSLEEP]

Great Mission took a minute to figure out the triggers. I play this game mission a lot and I do it without saving. love how you have to multi task to survive esp when getting convoy. great mission

[knelson]

I'm glad you enjoyed this mission. Most of my missions were created with the same kind of strategy. To keep you busy were you lose track of time.

[KHY]

Good job! I really like it.

[knelson]

Thanks, you will find that most of my missions are built on the same premise. I tried to stick as close as possible to the original program and make the missions as challenging as possible.

[hudra]

Wana make it chalenging huh ok put a securety gard for side 1 and place 50+ libarators for side 2 if somwana sucseds the mission there the god of the game .

[knelson]

A good mission has to have the right balance. You want to make this mission difficult but not impossible.

[hudra]

But if somwane sucseds myne then there a god of the game!!

This mission was the toughest ever. I almost wanted to move the speed down a notch because there was too much going on. At first I managed to stop the invaders from the south and concentrated on the north. If you go through the little tree passage though, it triggers the damn army and they respawn and respawn and no way to win. I don't mine one spawn, but really find continuous ones no fun. I had been hooked by then though. Start building your base right near the bluff and you will do fine with spawning armies from the south. The real trick is block off the upper exit from the free radical east base by snaking buildings up to that level or creating a new base. Then, you need to conquer the base to the south. After that, when you go to conquer the big base (east), leave andy near the tree shortcut to the east base and send a big army to the southern entrance of the East base. Do not engage people at the shortcut tree entrance! If you attack the southern entrance to the east base they will engage and then cause the massive army spawn. The big Free Radical army will eventually come down to the southern entrance of the east base and wipe you out, but they will then stay put and not respawn! Now you can take a big army and conquer the base through the tree shortcut and once conquered kill the forever spawning army that is now stopped at the southern entrance...

Great mission
