there’s gotta be a way to go through all 100 levels without juggling. has anyone here beaten it (even the 10k mode, for all i care) without juggling, because that would be a tremendous accomplishment, and if u did wat did ur maze like and how did u do it?

p.s. a good tip in the placement of bash towers (multiple bash towers, for that matter) is by placing them in a diagonal pattern….that way creeps can hit all four corners of the bash tower and will definitely maximize the amount of damage you can inflict on them. putting them side by side wouldn’t really do as much.

I was invited to the multiplayer DTD this morning. Despite the heedless calls from my family, I have been playing quite a few games. I thought I was addictted before! At any rate, I will create a badmagicnumber group for it. Okay, I’m back to MP DTD!

I just added a good score to the ##java group. I usually get around 7000 to 7200 on medium (a little less on hard).

Four tips:

1. A full power bash tower will decimate ground creeps.
2. A full power swarm tower by itself takes care of *most* fliers… try to slow down the big flies with a couple frost towers.
3. Try upgrading only six towers… leave the rest to the maze.
4. You can send the first 5 waves of creeps all at once. They are weak. Your towers are strong.

Happy Destroying!

I have added a few scores to your group using a couple of different strategies. The most recent one has the creeps going around the maze in opposite directions. I don’t know what to add to a strategy guide that hasn’t already been mentioned. I would recommend people checking out the different mazes created and shown on youtube to get some fresh ideas. I do the juggling thing at the end of some games, but I can’t really do it well when sending them through in opposite directions.

@Thom, that’s called juggling. Alot of people do that, and it seems to be the only way to defeat The 100.

One of the most effective strategies seems to be creating _two_ mazes, and using a single pellet tower to open and close them. You let creeps go down one of the mazes, and when they get near the end, sell the tower and move it to block that maze and open up the other one. The creeps will than have to walk all the way back along the first maze, and then down the second one. Timing of different waves is obviously an issue here - it’s sometimes worth sending loads of waves at once and waiting for some slow moving bosses.

@Spellucci, thats true. I do that for the bosses (lvl 48, and 49) but i never really bother with the other levels.

Ive just started juggling, though. And i got a new high score of 7145 =D i just need to sort out a flying defence sooner, and i can complete with all 20 lives left and reach about 7.5K
