Take Rex and go to the south of your base, there is normally a coyote there. To the north is a mountain lion, get his DNA also. Along the way to the village look for a porcupine. Once you reach the village, you will see they have set fires to hold enemy creatures at bay. After some dialogue from Lucy and Rex, send Lucy to build a Creature Chamber. This will be your basic creatures for this level. Once you can, start researching Level 2. If you do not, you will not be able to get your creatures. Send Rex to the north of the village to collect the skunk. Once Level 2 is done, start building about 5 of each creature. Once you have about 3 of each, the fires will die out. The creatures will charge toward your base so just wait for them to come. Once they are dead, go past where the fires where with Lucy along with them. --- Mission 2 - Renewal (MSON2) Objectives: Take Rex to the fuel depo Take Rex and the henchmen back to the lab and deliver the fuel Use Lucy to capture the genetic amplifier technology Destroy the enemy base Secondary Objectives: Collect the Wolf Collect the Lemming Creature Update: Mountain Lion + Coyote Head: C Front Legs: ML Torso: ML Hind Legs: ML Tail: C Lemming + Porcupine Head: P Front Legs: L Torso: P Hind Legs: P Tail: L Once you start, send Rex up north and collect the lemming and start up Level 2 research. Once it's done start queuing up some critters. Once the wave of enemy creatures is done, send Rex up to the fuel depo along with your critters. Once you get a henchman to carry some fuel for you, send him and Rex back to the lab. Once he gets to the base, you will fly to a new location. Queue up 3 henchmen to get coal for you. Send Rex down south on the Cliffside to the north of your first base. There should be a wolf in the area, collect him. Creature Update: Mountain Lion + Wolf Head: W Front Legs: ML Torso: W Hind Legs: ML Tail: W That should increase the stats some, but mainly it will bring a lot of good abilities to your critters. Take Lucy along with your critters to the pinging on the map. There will be a genetic amplifier and lightning rod. Gather Tech on the genetic amplifier and then destroy them both. Send Lucy to gather coal. Head to the south east and destroy the base there. --- Mission 3 - Father and Sons (MSON3) Objectives: Find the villager to scout the ice field, he will point out Whitely's creature chambers Have Lucy capture the electrical generator technology Get Rex to Chanikov's lab Destroy Whitely's base on the island Get Lucy to Gather Tech from Soundbeam towers. Be careful, they'll harm her Secondary Objectives: Collect the Grizzly Bear Collect the Wolverine Collect the Ram Collect the Musk Ox Once you start, build 4 more henchmen and start Lucy on building a Lightning Rod. Make Rex go down the hill and head east between the ping on the map and base to find a Grizzly. Creature Update: Wolf + Grizzly Bear Head: GB Front Legs: W Torso: GB Hind Legs: GB Tail: W Grizzly Bear + Porcupine Head: P Front Legs: P Torso: P Hind Legs: GB Tail: GB Make Lucy build another lightning rod and send 2 henchmen to build their own lightning rod so you have them maxed out. Once the lightning rods are done, send the henchmen to harvest coal and make Lucy build a Creature Chamber. Start Level 2 as soon as you can. Once you have researched that, build a genetic amplifier and then send her to the coal. Once you can, start building creatures and head to the north east where a ping on the map is. Kill the 2 creatures there and send Lucy in to research the technology there. Once done, she will learn a new ability which will hurt building a lot at melee range with Sabotage. Then head North West with Lucy and Rex and your critters to find a Sound wave Tower which is a anti-creature tower. Gather Tech it and then destroy it. Head west with Lucy and critters to a expansion. Gather Tech on the workshop and destroy the area. Meanwhile, send Rex to the north east ping on the map to get Nero-toxin darts. They deal about 250 damage to a creature. This makes him really good to tag along with you creatures now. At the workshop area, there should be a Musk Ox near there, also there is a wolverine at the edge to the south. From the Soundbeam tower, there is a Ram to the north, collect him too. Once your done getting all the animals, gather to the north of the workshop, ready to attack the base at the ping on the map. Either build a workshop where the enemy's was with Lucy or send her back to the base to heal. Once the base is destroyed, follow the lake's edge and get ready to attack the final base. Take it down, and show no mercy! --- Mission 4 - Ship Wreck (MSON4) Objectives: Have Lucy gather technology from Whitey's water chamber Have Lucy gather technology from Whitey's research clinic Destroy Whitey Hooten Secondary Objectives: Collect the Lobster Collect the Snow Owl Collect the Polar Bear Find and destroy the Whitey's generator and lightning rod farm Once you start, send the henchmen to get coal, queue 3 more henchmen up and send Lucy to build a Lightning rod. Once you have the coal, queue one more henchmen. Send rex down and collect the lobster. Once the lightning rod is done, send Lucy to build a generator on the geyser. Creature Update: Lobster + Musk Ox Head: MO Front Legs: MO Torso: MO Hind Legs: L Tail: MO Claws: L Lobster + Porcupine Head: P Front Legs: P Torso: P Hind Legs: P Tail: P The reason why you convert your critters to lobsters is because they have regeneration. This makes them heal 1HP a second, a GREAT skill. Send Rex north and collect the Polar Bear and Snow Owl. Once the generator is done, keep upgrading it as fast as you can. Once that is done, keep working on upgrading the Level as quick as you can. Be sure to upgrade your creature's speed since the Wolf Grizzly is twice as fast as your current creature. While waiting for Level 4, you will be attacked by 4 creatures, Rex can take them buy attacking and then just set waypoints so he will not stop moving while reloading. Once you have a good army going, head out to the cliff to the North West. There is a mining spot there that has some Sound wave towers, clear it out for later use. Once it's clear, send Lucy up with your critters and head to the north ping on the map. There is a base there, destroy it and Gather Tech on the water chamber. Now that you have the Water Chamber, upgrade your critters to... Creature Update: Lobster + Musk Ox Head: MO Front Legs: MO Torso: L Hind Legs: L Tail: L Claws: L Lobster + Porcupine Head: P Front Legs: P Torso: L Hind Legs: L Tail: L Claws: L Now they will be able to swim through the water. Get your critters ready to attack the next base. Inside the base is a research clinic, Gather Tech on that. Now that the two bases are gone, the giant block of ice will be broken opening the path to Whitey's main base. Be sure to have about 4 of LMO and LP at your base since you might get attacked from the water. Take the east fork past the ex-ice chunk and attack the farm of generators and lightning rods. Then head north and attack the main base. Target the creature chambers first, because he can build a lot of creatures if you don’t. --- Mission 5 - Trial by Fire (MSON5) Objectives: Send Rex to the village to ask for help Build creatures with the archfish water artillery ability and use them to put out the fire Put out the fire on the plateau around the village before all the huts burn down Find and destroy the enemy lab on the island Get Lucy to gather the technology from bramble fences Get Lucy to gather the technology from the anti-air tower Get Lucy to gather the technology from the air chamber Secondary Objectives: Collect the Zebra Collect the Giraffe Collect the Chameleon Collect the Baboon Once you start, queue 3 more henchmen and send Lucy to build a lightning rod. Take Rex to the right and collect the Giraffe. Then head south toward the village. But before you reach the village, go up a hill to the north and find the chameleon. Creature Update: Giraffe + Chameleon Head: C Front Legs: G Torso: C Hind Legs: G Tail: G (Saves Electricity) / (Camouflage) This setup will double the damage of your old creature! Now head to the village and you will receive the Arch fish. Creature Update: Archfish + Musk Ox Head: A Front Legs: MO Torso: A Hind Legs: MO Tail: MO Use this creature to put out the fires, but personally I don’t like artillery. I delete him after the fires are out. Once you are able to create them, get about 5 of them and head to the village. Once the village is safe, head back to your base. Wait for the fire to be really near your lab before you attack. Do this because the fire spreads after so many seconds and your creatures normally get stuck in the spreading fire. While dousing the fire at your base, there will be about 2 rounds of 2 archfish creatures, so put Rex up on the hill (once half the fire is gone) and take them out when they come. Also once you are up there, collect the baboon. Once the fire is out, you learn Rex and Lucy can swim in water like henchmen now. Start building your normal army up and head to the north west of the map. There is a base there with a Anti-air tower there. Get Lucy to gather tech on it and build one at your base. Around the base and the fire's pathway there is a zebra waiting to be collected. Once you finish the base off, head to the south of the island. To the very south east there is a base which is great for an expansion, and you have to gather tech from the bramble fence. Finish the base there and you might want to build a workshop there for your henchmen who should be low on coal there. After you finish the expansion, head north and there will be an air chamber, use Lucy once again to gather tech from it. Then get ready to attack the main base. Just make sure your Chameleon critters don’t attack the stuff on the cliff, you may have to manually order them to walk by there. --- Mission 6 - Flying Machines (MSON Objectives: Scout out and clear the entrance to the volcano of all creatures and buildings Clear the area inside of the volcano of all enemy creatures and buildings Protect the gyropad while it is being repaired. Do not allow Velika's creature to destroy the pad Eliminate all of the structures in Velika's outpost on the other side of the island Secondary Objectives: Collect the Chimpanzee Collect the Gorilla Collect the Hyena Collect the Spitting Cobra Collect the Crocodile Collect the Black Panther Note: Now you can upgrade your towers at the research clinic. Soundbeam will attack 2 people at once and AA tower will deal extra damage. Start with the basic queue of 3 and build a lightning rod next to the geyser. Once that is done, build a generator and research advance structures and build an anti-air tower next to the geyser. To the north-east there is a Hyena and there is a Spitting Cobra to the south. I would recommend not upgrading your ranged attacker since there is a crocodile that you can get and it will increase the ranged damage. So just use the normal archer but build as few as possible. In the middle of the map there is 2 lakes, the crocodiles are in there. You need to destroy all enemy structures in the area to proceed to the next level, but I suggest before you do that, get the crocodile and add him to your main army. Plus move Lucy and Rex to the south of the 2 lakes. Once you kill all of the enemy structures, you have to cover a henchman while he repairs a landing pad. It will take along time for him to repair it, but it can be done in about 10-15 seconds if you use Lucy to repair it. To the right of the landing, there is a good spot for an expansion (if you place 2 AA towers near there). There will now be attacks from the right lake. Just place about 5 melee and 5 ranged there to defend it. Place the rest to defend your base from water attacks. Also I would suggest find the other 3 animals, they normally are around the lakes also. Pick a henchman up with the helicopter and take him across the mountain. Build a creature chamber on the other side with the helicopter and henchmen so the work gets done quicker. Carry the henchman back to the other side and set both of them to getting coal. Start building creatures immediately. Creature Update: Crocodile + Chameleon Head: CH Front Legs: CH Torso: CR Hind Legs: CR Tail: CR (Saves Electricity) / (Camouflage) While building creatures, build 2 AA towers and 2 Sound wave towers just in case any creatures sneak by you. Once you feel your ready, charge forward and just destroy the base. --- Mission 7: - A Friend in Need (MSON7) Objectives Free the villagers held captive at the temple by destroying the enemy structures and bamboo fences surrounding them Get all the villagers back to their villages. The villagers only feel safe when they are near flaming savannah heads. Destroy all the enemies surrounding the flaming savannah heads and the villagers will move to it. Secondary Objectives: None Note: Rex gains Regeneration himself, this is really handy. I like to start out by building a workshop next to the coal pile so the workers can give you more coal quicker. Then I queue 2 more and wait until I can queue another. Once you can, build a lightning tower and then work on a generator. Just keep Leveling up. Once you can, get a gyrocopter to fly into the middle of the map and build a water chamber there, you can easily reinforce your army in the quickly if it is there. Your first objective is to free the villagers in the middle left. The main base is at the top left. I personally like to destroy the main base then help the villagers. Just keep attacking the enemies along the way from each flame light to another. Each time some villagers get to there homes, you get DNA of an animal. I would just keep the same creatures from before. --- Mission 8 - The Wicked Sky Witch (MSON8) Objectives: Destroy Velika's Base Secondary Objectives: Do not allow Velika's scouts alert Velika Destroy Humphery's Base Destroy Bugsy's Base Collect the Eagle Collect the Hippopotamus Collect the Hammerhead Shark Collect the Komodo Dragon Collect the Rhinoceros Collect the Cheetah Note: You can research Henchmen Yoke which allows your henchmen to carry 25 coal. I like this level. Queue 4 more henchmen up and build a lightning rod next to the geyser, then a generator. Velika will send flying scouts, they are easy enough to kill but to get a head start on DNA collecting, get Advance Structure research and build a AA tower above the geyser. Go in the water to the south and head east to a hammerhead shark. There is a eagle flying above your base. Going up the hill to the north of your base and you will find a hippo. At the tail like looking landmass near your base is a komodo dragon. At the upper end of landmass in the middle there is rhino. The Cheetah is a little south of the middle of the map. You should be able to get all the DNA before you kill all the scouts. Creature Update: Lobster + Rhinoceros Head: R Front Legs: L Torso: L Hind Legs: R Tail: L Chameleon + Rhinoceros Head: C Front Legs: R Torso: R Hind Legs: C Tail: R (Saves Electricity) / (Camouflage) I think I should note that after a few minutes I normally get attacked by Rhino Hornets, so I built 3 AA towers and upgraded them. Then when they can I used Rex to attack them. Lucy and a few henchmen repaired them. These guys cost a lot, but I believe their worth it. Once they are built, you may lose 1, 2 if your not careful with your creatures. Once all the scouts are gone, start working on creatures. There are 2 brothers you have to fight now also. I find it's easier to attack the north brother first. It may be me, but I think his defenses get harder the longer you play, where the other brother is easy all the time. Just keep creating the critters and upgrading them until you have a decent army and attack to the north when you climb up the hill. With your juggernaught creatures, skip the Sound wave towers and just target the creatures, chambers and his HQ. Before you attack the other brother, stay at the base until you can spare about 3-4 of both LR and CR. This is because Velika will attack you normally when your out the second time. Rex can help a lot if you leave him there. Once you have enough critters, go east to your base and on the way there, you will see a good expansion space for later. Continue east until you reach the next brother's base. Destroy it. Walk to the north east of the map and get ready to attack. She has a lot of spitting cobras, so be careful. A good strategy is to get a Gyro to build a base near the north east entrance so you can more quickly reinforce your army in case you lose a guy or two. Also don’t go straight for her HQ, target her chambers first, this will make it a lot easier. There, that wasn't tough was it? --- Level 9 - Mouth of the Beast (MSON9) Objectives: Defend the lab until it can be relocated Destroy enemy lab or 4 electrical generators Secondary Objectives: Collect the Vulture Collect the Scorpion Collect the Electric Eel Note: Rex gains Pack hunter, which increases damage of all your critters near him, this is a great ability. If you STILL haven't made him always travel with your critters (besides defending a base), do so. First build a new creature. Creature Update: Lobster + Polar Bear Head: L Front Legs: PB Torso: L Hind Legs: L Tail: PB That creature is for Level 4, these creatures are for Level 3 if you need them. Creature Update: Komodo Dragon + Ram Head: KD (Poison) / R (Safe Electricity) Front Legs: KD Torso: R Hind Legs: R Tail: R (Poison Touch) / R (Safe Electricity) Komodo Dragon + Polar Bear Head: KD Front Legs: PB Torso: PB Hind Legs: KD Tail: PB (Poison Touch) / PB (Safe Electricity) Komodo Dragon + Musk Ox Head: KD Front Legs: KD Torso: MO Hind Legs: MO Tail: KD (Poison Touch) / MO (Safe Electricity) I recommend the Komodo Dragon + Polar Bear. Queue 3 henchmen up and send your current ones to gather coal. There should be a Vulture above your base, collect him. Then look around your base to find scorpions, collect one. Go to the water a bit north west of your base and find the electric eel, you may have to swim a bit. Head back to your base and defend it from 3 attacking creatures. Once the lightning rod is done, work on a generator and keep upgrading that. Upgrade to Level 2 and then get advance structures. Once that is done, build a anti-air tower next to your lab for the future. Upgrade to Level 3. Depending if you used my creature or not, build a water chamber to the east or creature chamber next to the anti-air tower. Build about 6 creatures at start and build more if you need them. Keep defending the attack until it is about 10:30 minutes into the game. I believe you are not able to relocate unless the lab is at 100% health. Once Elephant creatures start attacking, that means your at the end of attacking creatures. While this whole time work on upgrading to Level 5. Once you relocate, build a research lab and work on tower upgrade and henchmen yoke. Be sure to build 1 or 2 anti-air tower next to your base. You have 2 options to win now, either kill all electrical generators or kill his base. I find it easier to do a mix. I like to starve him of electricity then attack his base. This is because one of the electrical generators is protected by 4 anti-air towers with the tower upgrade, AND it is only accessible by air. At the middle of the map, and a little bit east is a patch of land. A little north is the first electrical generator that you can attack. It's normally safe, but be careful. Sometimes air does attack your critters. This isn't a problem if you got the speed upgrade for your guys. At the middle left of the map is the expansion of the computer with a generator there. It is close to his base so before you attack it, be sure you have a good army. That generator attack will make him attack with his full army. You should be able to kill them with minimal loses if you bring Rex, he helps a lot with his new ability. The third and final generator you can attack is at the little island with a bridge connecting it at the south of the map. It only has 4 Sound wave towers. Since you recently destroyed his army, you will be able to destroy it with no problem. Now that he had to rebuild his army from the main battle, and wasted what he built on attacking you at the third generator, he should be starved for energy. You should be able to attack his base directly without many problems. The main is there is a lot of Sound wave towers. I would suggest to target the creature chambers first, then either the Sound wave towers or focus on his HQ. If your still having trouble, a thing that can help is build a Rhino/Lobster from the first creature chamber you built at the south east. Place him at he coal north of your base and set him on territorial stance. This is the main place where the computer mines besides his base and the second generator. Or if you just have some --- Mission 10 - Invasion (MSN10) Objectives: Make your way to the train factory and destroy it Secondary Objectives: Collect the Ant Collect the Bull Note: Now you can upgrade your henchmen to move quicker than normal. About 1.5x, this can really make it quicker to gather coal. At the start, queue 4 more henchmen and when you have the coal, start on a lightning rod. Use Rex to collect one of the ants near your base. Once you got the ant, head up the hill to the right of your base and you should find a coal expansion. Near there, there should be a bull to collect. Once you done with the lightning rod, build a generator. There is water to the south west, when you build a water chamber there, I suggest you build 2 anti-air towers there, along with 1 at your lab. Just keep fending off the attacks with Rex, or buy some cheap creatures. Once you can, start your main army up. This map is pretty straight forward for the first part. Keep following the path and destroy the 4 labs. Once they are gone, add this creature to your rooster. Creature Update: Komodo Dragon + Dragonfly Head: KD Front Legs: D Torso: D Hind Legs: KD Tail: KD This is a good creature to attack the enemy when he tries to get an expansion. The reason why you should get a flying unit is a draw back of the straight forward design, they can fly over the hills. Trust me, he likes to expand. Or you can place a Rhino/Lobster at the coal sites near the base. Once you feel ready, attack with your main army, don't use the air. The reason is that ALL air is bad, compared to ground troops. If you just starve him, he will not be able to create any troops and spend all his spare money on henchmen to try to get to a coal mine. Then he’s ready to be attacked and killed. Also, when you need to expand, take the one closest to your base, just above the hill. This has the best coal and it's a good spot, you can just barricade your self in with bramble fence. Then build 3-4 anti-air towers next to the workshop. --- Mission 11 - Proof (MSN11) Objectives: Use Rex to find Lucy following her footprints in the desert sand; clear all enemy creatures and structures on the way Secondary Objectives: Collect the Lioness Collect the Armadillo Collect the Praying Mantis Lucy ran away! How dare her! Oh well... What? You gotta rescue her? Start off by building the same lightning rod/generator and queue up 4 more henchmen to gather coal. Just keep Leveling up, and upgrading until you get a good enough army. I find the map a lot easier if you attack the south-east, that is where the main base is. At the end of the map you have to destroy it any way, better to stop his mining and building earlier. But before that is out, take out a stranded creature chamber near the middle of the map. Also, there is a mining expansion near the base, make sure to attack that too. Once those two are out, take the base itself down. Then attack the outpost at the top left. Once you have done all of this, just follow the footprints and DONE, you win. The Praying Mantis is right at the start. The lioness is to the south east of your base. And finally the armadillo is to the west side of the island and a little north, near a coal expansion. --- Mission 12 - The Good Doctor (MSN12) Objectives: Destroy Ganglion's Base Secondary Objectives: Collect the Tiger Collect the Camel Collect the Poison Frog Collect the Rat Note: You gain Poison Tough, which isn't that great of ability. I would rather have something like herding that would really help. Note 2: There are a few new technologies ready to be researched at the research clinic. You can upgrade so your henchmen can heal your critters. It only targets 1 creature at a time and heals the same amount as regeneration. But if you get 8 henchmen along with your critters, you can just keep healing them so you can rampage around. It can also heal other henchmen, so don’t worry about sending to battle while they heal. Also you can get an upgrade that increase the health of 'key' structures. Also there is an ability that increases the electrical resource, but you need to be Level 4 before you can get it! I don’t like this level personally. Anyway, queue up 3 more henchmen to coal. Then make Lucy start working on a lightning rod. Once that is done, work on a generator. Work on 3 Sound wave towers to the east of the generator ASAP. Then get to work on Leveling up. Get the tower upgrade as soon as you can, it will really help. He mostly attacks with piranha/praying mantis critters that have about 30 hp. Then just use Rex to attack the higher HP critters and retreating critters. Once you have a army going, attack the area with water to the north east of your base. There is a creature chamber there. You might be getting low on coal by now. Go to the north of your base. There is a coast at the north west of the map, there is a good expansion there. You rarely get attacked if you build there. If you do, it's mostly head on where the Sound wave towers are at. I would then target the creature chamber at the south west of the map. Once the chamber is gone, attack the air chamber at the south east. There should be a rat and camel in those areas. They are most likely at the bottom middle. There is some coal, a good spot where you can place your healing henchmen if you want to, they might as well give you a little extra cash when you don’t need them. Head to the north east, where the little lake is at. There is a creature chamber there, destroy it. You might want to build a chamber near there for quick reinforcements. Now you have to take the base head on, this can is easier said than done. The reason is he seems to like building water artillery when you attack his base, so be ready to take on about 10-20 of them while attacking, and be ready for reinforcements while heading up the hill. It's easier to just keep pushing while henchmen heal than attack, retreat, attack, retreat, attack, retreat. After a while, you should be able to take out a creature chamber. The quicker you can take one out, the much easier it will be. Just target the chamber, and then target the henchmen so they cannot build any more chambers. Then simply attack the HQ. Around the base, the poison frog is randomly going around. From the main entrance, the tiger is to the east. And at the south of the map is rat and camel. --- Mission 13 - The Gate (MSN13) Objectives: Destroy the Soundbeam and Anti-air towers at the outpost near your base in order to take control of the building there. Defend the base from the wave of goliath creatures Destroy the Creature control at the blue base Destroy all of the structures at the second base on the other side of the island Secondary Objectives: Collect the Killer Whale You lost Lucy! How will the lightning rod and generator will be built now! Start of by queuing up 5 henchmen, and when you have enough coal, build a workshop as close as possible to the coal. Send Rex into the water to the south west. Keep going west and look around until you find a Killer Whale. You have a choice, increased damage but with a trade off with a much slower chameleon. Then there are 2 options you have, attack the outpost to he left and gain a generator and expansion right away, or leave it alone and focus on Leveling up with just 4 lightning rods. Either way you want is ok. Creature Update: Chameleon + Killer Whale Head: C Front Legs: C Torso: C Hind Legs: C Tail: KW I personally like to just Level up. I build the lightning rods to the east of the workshop. Work on getting anti-air towers. Build 2 anti-air towers at the south east, and 2 Sound wave towers at the hill to the west of your base. Just keep using Rex to defend your base while the Sound wave towers are used as decoys. After a while, a huge animal will attack. I believe 2 shots will take him down. You will learn if you destroy a building controlling the giant creatures, you will be able to control them. I would work on building a research clinic and get henchmen yoke and henchmen speed. Upgrade the towers next. Work on about 2 of your strong creatures and take out the outpost to the left to gain an electrical boost. Also, I would build 1 or 2 more anti-air towers next to your already built ones for the future. You don’t need to build any more Sound wave towers since you should be starting on a few creatures by now. Once you have a good army going, head out toward the south west of the map. The base is not that hard to take out. Just focus on the creature chambers and take out any Sound wave towers that are bugging you. Destroy the Creature Controller building and you will gain control of 4 big creatures. These creatures are not that good compared to the rest of yours. Just send them on a suicide mission to the enemy base. Follow them with your own creatures. He has a few Sound wave towers on cliffs that your ranged critters can take down while your melee critters take down the creature chambers. Most of the chambers are bundled in one spot so it is not that hard to get them all before he creates that many new creatures. Head to the northern spot of the base and destroy his HQ. Now, you need to destroy ALL red buildings and creatures. Use the Sonar pulse at your base to see where they are at, most likely he got a few henchmen by you and built a creature chamber or workshop at the south end of the island. Also a good spot to expand if you need to is just the outpost to the west of your base, it has about double the coal at your base. --- Mission 14 - The Island of the Crazies (MSN14) Objectives: Destroy the antidote chamber. Get Rex to the antidote site within 15 minutes. Creatures must be cured at the site to be immune Destroy the enemy lab Secondary Objectives Collect the Sperm Whale Collect the Great White Collect the Elephant I hate this level, I just used cheats to win. Sorry I cannot write about this part. But I can suggest building a creature chamber ON the spilled antidote so they start with it already on them. The Sperm whale is at the middle top and middle bottom. The Shark is around the area north east of your base. The Elephant is at the jungle covered area at the north east of the island. Creature Update: Chameleon + Sperm Whale Head: C Front Legs: C Torso: C Hind Legs: C Tail: SW --- Mission 15 - Seeds Sown (MSN15) Objectives: Destroy Ganglion's Lab Destroy Julius’s Lab Secondary Objectives: None Start out by queuing 4 more henchmen up (3 miners, 1 builder). Do the same basic build, lightning rod, and generator and keep Leveling up. Work on a Research clinic and get Henchmen yoke, motivational speech and creature heal. Make Rex your main defender. Put him more to the west than your creatures. Use your critters as backup. Be sure to heal them after an attack. You may want to build a Soundwave tower two near the coal. The base to the north of you has an air chamber, so build about 2 anti-air towers near that base also. Upgrade the towers as soon as you can. Once you finally can produce you super creatures, start on the base to the north. Be careful not to make your melee or ranged creatures range to far away from the other. The melee critters should be used on the chambers and the ranged critters on the air creatures. Before you start attack Ganglion's base, be sure to have about 3 Rhino/Lobster and Whale/Chameleon to defend your base. Every once in a while, there is an aquatic attack. The expansion you can use is either the base to the north of your base or a little north east to base, you should see the coal right away. It's hard to start your base up, but once it is, it's easy to continue. Just keep the ranged units close to the melee while charging Ganglion's base. They can get distracted by the Sound wave towers on the cliff. Just keep pushing until you reach his creature chambers. Destroy them, then the HQ. Julius is not that hard to take on I thought. It might look like he has a huge base, but it's just really spread out in a giant space. Just keep pushing toward his HQ and destroy any buildings and creatures on the way. There's not that much strategy there. -------------------------------- 2.00 Buildings (Bldings) -------------------------------- Name: Requirements: Resource Cost: Info: Upgrades: Name: Lab Requirements: N/A Resource Cost: N/A Info: This is your HQ building.

The resources required to generate these units are low, making it possible to build them in great numbers, where they excel. Their ability to work in partnership with each other is born in the Ant's hive mentality which enables such small animals to achieve large tasks in a short period of time. It has also been found that in some combinations, the Ant is able to dig itself into the ground where other creatures are unaware of its presence. This digging capability, combined with large numbers, can make for terrifying ambushes and excellent defensive opportunities. Brief: A powerful melee unit for Level 1, and it's a bargain price. And who doesn't like a cute ant? First Spotted: Level 10 Name: Archfish Cost: 66/40 Health: 18 Defense: 6 Speed: N/A Water Speed: 30 Sight Radius: 30 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Water Artillery (3) Head Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 2 Abilities: N/A Info: The Archfish is truly a unique creature with its ability to shoot down prey with quick squirts of water from its mouth. The potential implications of utilizing this creature's unique ability are vast in any strategic army. By combining the Archfish with another animal, you have a powerful artillery unit that can bombard anything within range. This of course, has the unfortunate effect of rendering the creature fairly weak in close combat. However, when used carefully they can provide a powerful range addition to any army. Brief: The first artillery unit you get in the game. And it is a quick swimmer. Good if paired with higher health and defense unit. First Spotted: Level 5 Name: Armadillo Cost: 67/0 Health: 65 Defense: 81 Speed: 18 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (3) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The Armadillo is a natural addition to any list of animals worthy of further study. A tough layer of bony plates provides it with a layer of armor that most creatures find quite difficult to penetrate, and ensures that the creatures with this feature have a wonderfully high potential to survive. The only negative side effect is, of course the fact that the high armor slows the animal down, tough careful selection of combinations can easily overcome this drawback. Brief: The second highest defense unit in the game. Good paired with a whale or other high health unit. And it costs 0 Electricity! First Spotted: Level 11 Name: Baboon Cost: 111/45 Health: 90 Defense: 45 Speed: 27 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 2 Attack 1: Pummel (4) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Pack Hunter Info: The Baboon is a powerful and aggressive creature and, as such, is a natural addition to any army. Although it does not posses any qualities that make it truly stand out from others, it is a solid low-end close combat unit with respectable speed and damage. The baboon may not be an extremely powerful animal on it's own, but is still an optimal creature for strategic combination choices. with this low-end attributes one can create a creature very useful for defense when first establishing a base. Brief: Fairly cheap unit for early game with a high defense. It also is fairly good overall for its cost. First Spotted: Level 5 Name: Bat Cost: 56/105 Health: 28 Defense: 12 Speed: 32 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: Flight, Sonar Pulse (Head) Info: The Bat is the only mammal that can fly. Bats have modified hands and arms that serve as wings capable of sustained flight. They have been flitting across the night skies since the Eocene Epoch, some 50 million years ago. In all this time, the physical features of these animals have changed very little. Fossil specimens from Europe and North America are nearly indistinguishable from living forms. There are nearly 1,000 living bat species, accounting for almost a quarter of all mammal species. The Bat is a relatively fast flight unit and has a good defense for a vulnerable flyer. Combine with a strong offense creature for a powerful and extremely mobile attack force. It also capable of revealing and area in the fog of war with it's sonar pulse ability. Brief: Very fast flyer unit. Generally weak all around but it has sonar pulse which is very useful. First Spotted: Level 7 Name: Bull Cost: 173/80 Health: 221 Defense: 28 Speed: 25 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 30 Size: 5 Attack 1: Gore (10) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Charge Attack (Hind Legs), Horns (Head) Info: The Bull is a member of one of the 274 recognized breeds of cattle. Commonly used for commerce products such as meat and leather, this creatures advantage is obvious at first glance. The massive horns that adorn its forehead are powerful close combat armaments, vastly reducing the effectiveness of the other creatures' defenses. With its charging ability the Bull can cover great distances quickly and deliver a crushing blow. Brief: Fairly good attack along which horns and charge attack makes him a good melee choice. First Spotted: Level 10 Name: Camel Cost: 97/5 Health: 115 Defense: 16 Speed: 16 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 28 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (5) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: High Endurance (Torso) Info: The Camel is a large ruminant native to the desert regions of Asia and northern Africa. As commonly known, the humps on this creature's back are stores of flesh and fat, absorbed as nutrition when food is scarce. This provides the Camel with higher health than one normally expects and the ability to subsist without water for several days. When considering strategic combinations with other animals, utilize its high endurance levels as a valuable addition to the creatures with special abilities. Brief: It's high endurance ability is good if you pair him with another creature that uses his ability a lot. First Spotted: Level 12 Name: Chameleon Cost: 59/95 Health: 29 Defense: 19 Speed: 15 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 30 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (3) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Tongue Attack (4) Head Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Regeneration, Camouflage (Tail) Info: The Chameleon is a common name for certain lizards well known for their ability to change colors. This ability is caused by hormones that affect the special pigment-bearing cells in their skin. The ability to hide in plain sight makes any creature combined with the Chameleon a perfect scout, as well as a allowing for some powerful ambush strategies. The chameleon remains camouflaged and invisible until it attacks, or is spotted by other creatures that have keen sense or sonar pulse. The Chameleon also has a ranged tongue attack and the ability to regenerate itself from damage. Brief: I love this little guy. You can mix him with a high size animal to get a powerful ranged unit. He has regeneration which is great, since they can heal up themselves. Also they make good scouts if you pare them with a low cost high speed creature with their camouflage ability. First Spotted: Level 5 Name: Cheetah Cost: 116/30 Health: 35 Defense: 45 Speed: 44 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 22 Size: 2 Attack 1: Claws (3) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Leap Attack (Hind Legs) Info: The Cheetah is a member of the cat family and one of the fastest land animals in the world. They are well adapted to dry habitats such as savanna grasslands an semi-deserts. They can survive for long periods without water, gathering much of the water they need from the body fluids of their own prey. Cheetahs prefer open habitats that offer unobstructed views of their surroundings. On its own, this creature is somewhat fragile, which makes its incredible speed an amazing advantage when combined with sturdier animals. The Cheetah's leap attack ability ensures a swift first blow that can easily define the outcome of the fight early on. Brief: The fastest creature in the game! First Spotted: Level 8 Name: Chimpanzee Cost: 111/95 Health: 65 Defense: 35 Speed: 28 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 2 Attack 1: Pummel (2) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (2) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Rock Artillery (3) Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Pack Hunter Info: Chimpanzees are one of the smartest primates known to man. This intelligence makes it relatively easy to train them to use some quite rudimentary tools, hence their ability to throw rocks. The Chimpanzee throws rocks long distances, causing them to break apart on impact and send sharp shards of rock flying everywhere. These shards damage anything in the area around impact. Naturally, by creating a larger Chimpanzee through combination,
the creature will be able to throw larger, heavier rocks longer distances. In the wild, a chimpanzee tends to form packs with others of its species. This follows true when the animal is combined, as groups of four or more creatures of he same type are always more effective. Brief: This is similar to the Archfish's attack, but instead he throws rocks. First Spotted: Level 6 Name: Coyote Cost: 83/10 Health: 50 Defense: 35 Speed: 29 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (6) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 1 Abilities: Keen Sense (Head) Info: The Coyote is a carnivore closely related to the Wolf and is commonly seen as a pest to be eradicated, usually by shortsighted individuals who cannot see beyond skin deep. Like an onion, the Coyote has many layers. Usually they hunt singly or relays with others rather than in packs. Being a nocturnal hunter in its original form, the Coyote has a keen sense ability with which it detects camouflaged units. This combined with its reasonable speed makes the Coyote an excellent, inexpensive scout. Brief: An inexpensive scout that you can get early on in the game. With the keen sense ability, he can detect critters that are digged in the ground. First Spotted: Level 1 Name: Crocodile Cost: 226/0 Health: 200 Defense: 35 Speed: 22 Water Speed: 27 Sight Radius: 20 Size: 5 Attack 1: Bite (12) Head Attack 2: Tail swipe (7) Tail Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Amphibious Level: 4 Abilities: N/A Info: The Crocodile is one of the largest living reptiles known to man and is found in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Having a mouth laden between 30 and 40 teeth in each jaw, its bite can be devastating alone. Combine that with its armor-like skin made up of bony plates, and the Crocodile is an extraordinarily well-adapted predator. The Crocodile is also amphibious, and while not that fast on land, it can move fairly quickly in water. Brief: A powerful melee attacker with the ability to walk and swim. Plus it has good overall stats First Spotted: Level 6 Name: Dolphin Cost: 69/100 Health: 105 Defense: 18 Speed: N/A Water Speed: 32 Sight Radius: 30 Size: 3 Attack 1: Bite (5) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Sonic Attack (6) Head Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The Dolphin is a fast-swimming animal related to whales and porpoises. They are incredibly sleek and powerful swimmers found worldwide. Dolphins differ from porpoises by their well-defined snout and conical teeth. The bottle-nose dolphin is just one of at least 32 different species. These animals are renowned for their appearance in open waters, making their characteristic arched bounds, frequently before the bow waves of ships. The Dolphin can use its natural sonar ability to damage and stun their opponents from a safe distance. Brief: A low cost range attacker that can quickly swim around. First Spotted: N/A Name: Dragon Fly Cost: 82/90 Health: 18 Defense: 25 Speed: 35 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Swoop Attack (6) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (4) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: Immunity Info: The Dragonfly is a predacious aquatic insect characterized by an elongate body, agile flight and two roughly equal pairs of membranous wings. Being such a small and delicate flying animal, he Dragonfly's inclusion in an army is initially questionable. Although highly mobile because it can fly, the Dragonfly is quite weak and therefore very susceptible to attacks that other flying units would simply shrug off. However, it is immune to chemical based attacks including stink, plague, and poison. This combination of attributes and abilities makes the Dragonfly one of the cheapest animals, and lowest Research Level flying units possible. For gaining early flight capability, the Dragonfly is supreme. Brief: The first flyer creatures you can get, and one of the fastest. It also has good attack but it is on the low end of the stats otherwise. First Spotted: Level 7 Name: Eagle Cost: 99/75 Health: 81 Defense: 9 Speed: 29 Water Speed: 0 Sight Radius: 40 Size: 4 Attack 1: Talons (4) Hind legs Attack 2: Bite (2) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The majestic Eagle has been used to symbolize courage and power in many cultures, and for good reason. Its large size and superb aerial skills define this animal as the most powerful flying animal available in your army. Females attain a length of about 1 yard (1 meter) from tip of the beak to the tip of the tail, and have a wingspan of about 2 yards (2 meters). Males are smaller, as is true for most birds of prey. The Eagle makes for a great scout combination because it has one of the highest sight radiuses of all of the animals available to you. Brief: A high health flyer creature. It has very weak defense. First Spotted: Level 8 Name: Electric Eel Cost: 49/115 Health: 32 Defense: 2 Speed: 0 Water Speed: 36 Sight Radius: 25 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (4) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Lightning Attack (8) Head Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 3 Abilities: Electric Burst Info: The Electrical Eel is an elongated, serpentine fish and one of the 600 diverse species. Of all of the electric fish species, this particular Eel is capable of delivering a devastating lightning attack to its targets. This shock is delivered at a distance, and renders this creature a powerful ranged unit. It inhabits shallow coastal waters throughout the world, but by combining it with ground animals, you can create a strong amphibious unit for your army. Not to be overlooked is the Eel's ability to deliver an intense electrical burst, covering everything within close proximity to it with a discharge of built-up electricity. Keep in mind that this causes enormous damage to friendly and enemy units and structures alike. Brief: A weak creature that has a low coal cost but high energy cost. It's electric burst is a powerful ability First Spotted: Level 9 Name: Elephant Cost: 296/125 Health: 440 Defense: 45 Speed: 18 Water Speed: 0 Sight Radius: 15 Size: 8 Attack 1: Gore (16) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 5 Abilities: Charge Attack (Hind legs), Herding, Horns (Head) Info: The Elephant is a huge mammal characterized by a long muscular snout and two long, curved tusks. Highly intelligent and strong, the healthy, full-grown Elephant has no natural predator other than humans and can live up to 60 years old. Its great size and strength make it both terrifying to enemies and one of the most powerful ground attack animals available to your army. Although it isn't one of the fastest animals, its deadly tusks combined with its charged attack capability ensure it can cut down quickly anything in its path. Brief: A high HP creature. A good attack with good abilities to match. It is rather slow moving. First Spotted: Level 14 Name: Garfish Cost: 42/0 Health: 54 Defense: 42 Speed: 0 Water Speed: 25 Sight Radius: 2o Size: 3 Attack 1: Bite (7) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 2 Abilities: N/A Info: The Garfish is a small fish with a short upper jaw and elongated lower jaw. They are tropical fish usually found in warm seas, lakes and rivers around the world. The Garfish is closely related to the halfbeak and flying fish, and are known by fisherman for their tenacious attitude, fighting veraciously to keep them from getting caught. Its bite renders this unit a vicious melee addition to any army but it is also valuable for the tough scales that cover its body. Garfish can also grow quite large, with some specimens reaching over six feet long. Brief: A good defense and attacker for its cheap cost. First Spotted: N/A Name: Giraffe Cost: 137/0 Health: 135 Defense: 12 Speed: 30 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 45 Size: 4 Attack 1: Kick (5) Front legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: N/A Info: The Giraffe is the tallest living animal and instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long neck. Giraffes live in the savanna and open woodland, habitats where the available food varies throughout the year. Averting 17ft. (5.3m) tall, the giraffe can pursue the surrounding terrain and see any threats well before they are in range of attacking. An animal of average speed and health, the Giraffe is supreme scout because its lack of any special abilities makes it resource cost low. Fear not though, the sight radius on the Giraffe more than makes up for any of its shortcomings. Brief: A high health, speed and sight radius creature for level 2. And it can stand up to a good level 2 fighter also. First Spotted: Level 5 Name: Gorilla Cost: 169/45 Health: 165 Defense: 35 Speed: 22 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 30 Size: 3 Attack 1: Pummel (10) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Herding Info: The Gorilla is the largest of the great apes and one of the closest living relatives of the human species. The Gorilla is a strong attack unit at a relatively modest price. With the massive pummeling arms and a furious bite, it is the most powerful primate available. Unlike the other great apes, Gorillas travel, eat, play and sleep in the stable family groups. Because of this, they receive a defensive herding bonus when 4 or more are in close proximity to one another. When combining, keep in mind that this creature has a high attack rating, but a relatively low defense rating. Brief: A high attack rating and fairly good stats all around. Plus the herding ability helps the critter. First Spotted: Level 6 Name: Great White Shark Cost: 149/55 Health: 327 Defense: 35 Speed: N/A Water Speed: 36 Sight Radius: 15 Size: 7 Attack 1: Bite (19) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 4 Abilities: Immunity, Frenzy Info: With a conical snout, black eyes and large, serrated, arrowhead- sharp teeth, the Great White Shark is intimidating in appearance and attack. Although the Great White Shark is notorious as a villain, little documented information exists about its behavior. Offensively, the inherent frenzy ability increases damage and speed, while defensively, it is immune to chemical-based attacks including stink and plague, with greater resistance to poison. Be sure to keep in mind its low sight radius when planning optimal creature combinations. Brief: A high attack swimmer with frenzy. This causes this shark to be a powerful fighter. First Spotted: Level 14 Name: Grizzly Bear Cost: 136/0 Health: 140 Defense: 19 Speed: 29 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 3 Attack 1: Claws (6) Front legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The Grizzly has large, plant grade feet (heel and sole touching ground) and five long claws on its front paws. The Grizzly Bear subsists on a diet of berries, vegetation, and small mammals, but don't be fooled by the vegetarian fare, this creature is dangerous, fast and tough in battle. Its main weakness are low sight range, modest defense, and lack of any prominent special abilities. The fact that it is relatively cheap and has high health increases its strategic value in the Combiner. Brief: Mainly a good fighter with nice health. First Spotted: Level 3 Name: Hammerhead Shark Cost: 71/25 Health: 90 Defense: 26 Speed: N/A Water Speed: 35 Sight Radius: 20 Size: 4 Attack 1: Bite (12) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Swimmer Level: 2 Abilities: Immunity, Keen sense (Head) Info: The Hammerhead Shark is command name for about ten related species of sharks found throughout the tropical and temperate seas.

The Hammerhead is a good attack creature that provides the benefits of a shark without the extreme cost of going with a Great White. Average in cost and average in attributes, the Hammerhead is immune to chemical-based attacks including stink, plague and poison. Brief: Brings the power of a shark without the bigger cost of the great white. First Spotted: Level 8 Name: Hippopotamus Cost: 239/75 Health: 260 Defense: 50 Speed: 15 Water Speed: 22 Sight Radius: 15 Size: 6 Attack 1: Bite (16) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Amphibious Level: 4 Abilities: Charge Attack (Hind legs), Herding Info: The Hippopotamus is an African mammal that lives partly in water and partly on land. Although strictly a plant eater, the Hippopotamus has massive jaws with a formidable tusks and an unpredictable temper. This creature is a good medium-cost attack unit due to its high health and ferocious bite. Due to its highly social nature, it also has herding ability, making it more effective when used in groups of 4 or more. Decent armor, along with the ability to be just as effective in the water as on land, make the Hippo a good mid-level offensive creature. Brief: Good health, defense (with a bonus from herding), attack. And it has charge attack which is a great ability. First Spotted: Level 8 Name: Hornet Cost: 73/140 Health: 30 Defense: 15 Speed: 35 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (1) Head Attack 2: Sting (3) Tail Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: Immunity, Poison (Tail) Info: The Hornet is a name commonly applied to the members of a group of social wasps that make nests out of papery material composed of chewed plant foliage and wood. In several Hornet species, no workers are produced. Instead the female lays its eggs in the nests of other wasps, where the egg hatch and the young are fed. This creature is an offensive high-speed flying creature with poison and immunity abilities. While it is one of the fastest flying units, be careful; the Hornet tends to be more delicate than other creatures. Brief: One of the fastest flying units that are good on hit and run attacks with their poison. First Spotted: Level 7 Name: Horse Cost: 186/5 Health: 150 Defense: 30 Speed: 34 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 5 Attack 1: Kick (9) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (5) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: High Endurance (Torso) Info: The horse is a large land mammal noted for its speed, strength, and endurance. It is a member of the Equidae family and extremely well-adapted to traveling long distances with great efficiency. The Horse is also an intensely social animal and tends to form strong associations with members of its herd. Its instinctive behaviors form the basis of the horse's ability to bond and obey a human trainer. As a result of deliberate breeding by humans, Horses display a remarkable variation in size, body shape and coat color. Similar to the Zebra, the Horse is a melee attack unit with a ferocious kick and nasty bite. Brief: A good overall unit. It also has high endurance skill which is good for ability users. First Spotted: N/A Name: Hyena Cost: 107/55 Health: 81 Defense: 25 Speed: 26 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 3 Attack 1: Bite (9) Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Pack Hunter, Keen sense (Head) Info: The Hyena is a dog-like carnivore and a renowned scavenger. Hyena have powerful jaws capable of crushing large bones that other predator cannot eat. In battle, this creature is more powerful than the Coyote, but plays a similar role. Its keen sense ability makes it an excellent choice for more advanced combinations that require a canine's astute sense of hearing and smell. When combining, keep in mind the low attack and defense ratings that keep the Hyena vulnerable and inexpensive. Brief: A bit more powerful than a coyote, but it is in the same league as a weak scout.

The combination of these qualities gives the Piranha an extremely high attack rate, frenzy and pack hunting abilities. This creature will contribute a vicious attack to any combination. The frenzy ability uses endurance, so keep in mind its low health and average endurance ratings when considering optimal creature combinations. Brief: A low cost unit that you can mass of and use frenzy to deal extra damage. First Spotted: Level 7 Name: Poison Frog Cost: 62/90 Health: 35 Defense: 30 Speed: 20 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 35 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (1) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Tongue Attack (3) Head Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Poison Touch (Tail) Info: The Poison Frog really lives up to its name.

This mucous gives the Poison Frog the poison touch ability, a passive version of poison attack, to repel predators. Low speed, health and defense ratings keep the Poison Frog relatively inexpensive. Brief: A low cost creature with the poison touch ability. First Spotted: Level 12 Name: Polar Bear Cost: 166/0 Health: 155 Defense: 35 Speed: 23 Water Speed: 24 Sight Radius: 25 Size: 3 Attack 1: Claws (8) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (5) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Amphibious Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The Polar Bear is a common name for a white bear found in the sea ice of the Artic throughout the North Polar basin.

Snapping Turtles have a pink wormlike structure on their tongues that they wiggle like a fishing lure to attract prey. They are one of the most well- armored creatures in the game. Couple that with a nasty bite attack and you have a great medium--cost defensive amphibious creature. Naturally, its speed is one of the slowest you can find and it has a relatively small sight radius, so keep that in mind when considering strategic combinations. Brief: One of the highest defense animals in the game. So-so cost (No electricity!) and slow movement. First Spotted: Level 7 Name: Snowy Owl Cost: 71/75 Health: 44 Defense: 15 Speed: 25 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 40 Size: 2 Attack 1: Talons (2) Hind Legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: N/A Info: The Snowy Owl ranges across northern Eurasia and North America. During the winter months, the Snowy Owl's white plumage camouflages it, allowing it to swoop down undetected on small mammals and fish.

The bodies of Sperm Whales are laterally compressed, with a single blowhole on the left front of the head and a thick dorsal hump originating at the hindmost third of the body. Use this creature's tremendous size to your advantage, but be careful - it's also very expensive. All Sperm Whale attributes and abilities are above average, with extremely high health and a very high attack rating. It also has the ability to stun enemy creatures with its sonic attack.

Perfectly designed predators, they possess beauty, grace, and awesome power. Their presence in the wild, revealed by a throaty roar or a track on a dusty trail, electrifies the forest and sends shivers down the spines of all who share its space. Humans admire Tigers as much as they fear them and the animals figure prominently in Asian myths, religions, arts, and imagination. Tigers are territorial; they live alone in large areas that they defend from other tigers. Its ideal territory is a large forested area with rich vegetation for cover, plentiful water to drink and cool off in, and abundant deer, swine, and other large mammals to eat. The Tiger is a large, powerful, and aggressive cat. A combination of speed and high attack rating make it an excellent offensive unit. Only its solitary nature and lack of pack ability keep it from being king of the cats. Brief: Basically another version of a cat without the pack hunter ability.

Wolves are equally at home on prairies, in forests, and on all but the highest mountains. In the winter they travel in packs searching for food. Small animals and birds are common prey of Wolves, but a pack sometimes attacks reindeer, caribou, sheep, and other large mammal, usually selecting weak, old, or very young animals for easier capture. The Wolf is a powerful canine unit with keen sense ability that can detect stealthy or camouflaged units. It also has high endurance and gains a bonus when attacking in groups of four or more. Brief: A fairly good melee unit for its cost. Plus it has multiple good abilities.

Wolverines will eat bird eggs, berries, and any animal they can kill and, lacking live prey, will eat carrion. They adept at robbing the traps that hunters set for other animals. Although once abundant, the Wolverine is now rare due to over hunting, both for its fur and because it is viewed as a pest by some people. It is a vicious beast with a powerful frenzy attack. Brief: The main strength of this creature is frenzy. First Spotted: Level 3 Name: Woolly Mammoth Cost: 357/50 Health: 700 Defense: 19 Speed: 18 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 9 Attack 1: Gore (18) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 5 Abilities: Horns (Head) Info: Revived from extinction, the Wooly Mammoth is a member of the elephant family and has long, curved tusks and a prominent hump on its back. It also has a shaggy covering of long, thick hair, adaptable to the cold climate following the recession of the Ice Age. The first Woolly Mammoth appeared in Africa during the Pliocene Epoch, about 5 million years ago. Its massive horns are deadly in melee combat. Brief: Super high HP! 200 higher than the second highest health creature. First Spotted: N/A Name: Zebra Cost: 101/5 Health: 78 Defense: 15 Speed: 30 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 3 Attack 1: Kick (4) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (3) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 1 Abilities: High Endurance (Torso) Info: The Zebra is a member of the horse family with an eye-catching
coat of black and white strips. Each Zebra species has different stripe pattern, and no two individuals within a species have exactly the same markings. Because they spend so much time eating, they are an easy target for predators, and some zoologists have suggested that Zebra stripes act as a protective camouflage. According to this theory, their bold markings break up their outline, making them difficult to see from far away. Another explanation for the markings is that herd, Zebra stripes confuse would-be attackers by making it hard for them to single out an individual animal from a backdrop of constantly shifting stripes. Brief: A ok creature with the High Endurance ability. First Spotted: Level 5 --- 4.02 Insect Invasion Creatures (InsctC) Name: Anaconda Cost: 292/325 Health: 334 Defense: 6 Speed: 15 Water Speed: 18 Sight Radius: 15 Size: 8 Attack 1: Bite (11) Head Attack 2: Constriction (17) Torso Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Amphibious Level: 4 Abilities: High Endurance (Torso), Loner (Tail) Info: Anacondas are the largest snake in the world, often growing over 30 feet in length. They've been known to successfully prey upon large, vicious animals such as Crocodiles. Anacondas are amphibious creatures with powerful muscles throughout their bodies, which they use when hunting to wrap about their prey and constrict, crushing and suffocating their victims. In addition to being a very powerful, large, amphibious animal who's attack power is increased by the use of its long crushing torso, Anacondas are loners- solitary creatures who are antisocial and hunt best by themselves. Brief: A good unit for seeing if enemy units have expanded with its loner ability and high attack. First Spotted: N/A Name: Behemoth Cost: 461/65 Health: 500 Defense: 79 Speed: 20 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 40 Size: 10 Attack 1: Bite (22) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 5 Abilities: Hovering (Torso) Info: Make of it what you will... Brief: Super powerful creature, with a high resource cost. First Spotted: N/A Name: Black Widow Cost: 121/60 Health: 20 Defense: 18 Speed: 30 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (5) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 4 Abilities: Loner (Tail), Web Throwing (Tail), Poison (Head) Info: Black Widow Spiders are likely the most notoriously deadly spider in North America. Female Black Widows possess a venom that can be deadly to humans, and are rumored to kill and consume male Black Widow spiders after mating with the, giving them their name. Creating Black Widow Spiders in your army can consume a great deal of electricity, but its well worth it for the potent abilities they possess in addition to their damaging and hindering venomous bite, they can throw a strong web from their tail to paralyze groups of opponents. And because of the Black Widow's storied anti-social nature, their attack is amplified several times over when they hunt by themselves... Brief: A fairly low cost, low stat creature with some good abilities. It is a high level however. First Spotted: Name: Bombardier Beetle Cost: 67/55 Health: 36 Defense: 22 Speed: 24 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 40 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (1) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: Chemical Artillery (1) Tail Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Hovering (Torso) Info: The Bombardier (fire) beetle deters predators by spraying them with noxious chemicals from the tip of the abdomen. Hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone are combined in a firing chamber, combining into a caustic, boiling-hot mixture which explodes out of the beetle's tail. In your army of Sigma creatures, these chemicals can be launched with enough explosive force to fire them enormous distances, and causing splash damage to all creatures and structures within range of the chemical's impact. No creature can see as far as a Bombardier Beetle can fire its chemicals, so these beetles should be used in conjunction with a 'spotter' unit at the location that you want them to bomb. Though slow moving and very weak in close-ranged combat, Bombardier Beetles have a set of insect wings beneath their shell which allow them occasional short-range flight for emergency escapes. Brief: A great sight radius unit with a artillery attack. Otherwise it is weak. First Spotted: N/A Name: Cockroach Cost: 111/305 Health: 23 Defense: 39 Speed: 30 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 4 Abilities: Defile Land (Hind Legs), Hovering (Torso), Plague (Head) Info: The 'Cockroach' is common name for hundreds of species of insects, all known for their hardiness, foul odor and oval shape. Cockroaches are often carriers of pestilence, spoiling their environments (at least as far as humans are concerned) with their excrement and stench, and their bite can transmit Plague. The filth left behind by these creature's passing can be noxious and dangerous to those who come into contact with it, and any creature without Keen Sense will not detect the presence of this Spoiled Land until they're standing in the middle of it. The large insectile wings beneath the Cockroach's shell allow it to fly short distances every so often as well, making for a quick getaway after laying a trap of Spoiled Land for enemies. Brief: A fairly weak unit with some good poisonous abilities. First Spotted: N/A Name: Condor Cost: 211/70 Health: 290 Defense: 31 Speed: 26 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 40 Size: 6 Attack 1: Peck (11) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 6 Abilities: N/A Info: Condors are the largest birds of prey, with wingspans of up to 10 ft. They have been known to attack living animals as large as deer. They are particularly hardy, and are the largest flying creature available in your army. Combined with smaller creatures bearing special abilities and additional attacks, Condors become an unstoppable element of your air force. Brief: The strongest flying unit in the game. First Spotted: N/A Name: Firefly Cost: 65/75 Health: 18 Defense: 81 Speed: 30 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 30 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: Flash (Tail) Info: A generic name for any of about one thousand different luminescent beetles, the fire fly uses chemical reactions in its abdomen to create light, the specific pattern of which is designed to attract mates of the same species. This chemical luminescence has a unique practicality in your army, where Fire flies can cause a flash of light with their tail so intense that it temporarily blinds all creatures within a certain distance from the Fire fly. Blinded creatures are incapable of using any ranged or artillery attacks, making the Fire fly a useful defense against such creatures. Brief: A unit that can counter enemy ranged or artillery units. First Spotted: N/A Name: Garden Spider Cost: 94/120 Health: 27 Defense: 15 Speed: 28 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (6) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Web Throwing (Tail) Info: Garden Spiders are a commonplace arachnid known for its bright gold and black markings, and its spectacular web-weaving abilities. They are known as Orb Weavers, for the large, elaborate circular orb-shape webs that they weav. These webs are usually built in gardens and bushes among foliage, earning this spider its name. Although non-venomous and not particularly a vicious fighter, the Garden Spider is a valuable resource to your army for its ability to throw its incredibly strong webbing across groups of enemy creatures, rendering them helpless and vulnerable. Brief: A ok unit with Web Throwing ability. First Spotted: N/A Name: Giant Anteater Cost: 244/270 Health: 148 Defense: 19 Speed: 25 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 4 Attack 1: Claws (6) Front Legs Attack 2: Bite (4) Head Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 4 Abilities: Loner (Tail), Digging (Front Legs) Info: The Giant Anteater of South America is a voraciously hungry mammal that manages to sustain its bulk with a diet of up to 30,000 insects per day. Possessing strong forearms tipped with sharp, hooked claws, the Giant Anteater locates termite mounds and rips them open, then inserts its extraordinarily long tongue into the heart of the termite colony, trapping insects on its tongue's sticky coating. The Giant Anteater's size and long tongue make a formidable long range unit in your army alone, but it can also be a potent melee unit thanks to the strong claws on its forearms, and an excellent ambusher due to its ability to Dig with its forearms as well. Brief: A ranged attacker with ok melee damage. It also has the Loner Ability. First Spotted: N/A Name: Hercules Beetle Cost: 144/120 Health: 89 Defense: 55 Speed: 16 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 2 Attack 1: Crush (Head) Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 3 Abilities: Deflection Amour (Torso), Hovering (Torso), Barrier Destroy (Head) Info: The largest beetle in the world is the Hercules beetle. It lives in the tropical rainforests near the equator and can grow up to 7 inches long and can lift and carry up to 5 lbs. Males possess a prominent pair of pincer- like spikes on their head, which are used for grasping and flipping over rival males when mating. Their thick shells are capable of reflecting ranged attacks back at opponents who strike it, and house a set of insect wings which the Hercules Beetle can use to fly small distances in quick, occasional bursts. In your army, their spiked heads are particularly effective at tearing open enemy structures. Brief: First Spotted: N/A Name: Shield Bug Cost: 45/70 Health: 25 Defense: 50 Speed: 21 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Immunity, Deflection Armor (Torso), Stink Cloud (Tail) Info: The Shield Bug, named for the resemblance of its carapace to a medieval shield, is characterized by its ability to emit a noxious odor when disturbed. Shield bugs are a voracious pest to many commercial crops around the world and their ability to become quickly immune to many pesticides makes them a particularly insidious threat. This combination of the Shield Bug's hard, smooth carapace which can deflect ranged attacks back at opponents, plus the ability to create a Stink Cloud to slow attackers and protect allies from ranged attacks, as well as its immunity to chemical attacks, makes it an exceptionally well-defended unit. Combined with a larger creature, it will become a pest that your opponent will find near impossible to squash. Brief: First Spotted: N/A Name: Tarantula Cost: 101/40 Health: 65 Defense: 15 Speed: 25 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (4) Head Attack 2: Grapple (7) Claws Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Disorienting Barbs (Tail) Info: The largest spider on earth, some are known to have a leg span as wide as a dinner plate. Tarantulas have been known to hunt and prey upon small birds, rodents, and snakes, a credit to its ferocity when compared to most arachnids who flee from such animals. They can defend themselves with their powerful fangs, as well as by kicking a cloud of tiny, barbed hairs off of their abdomen to irritate and disorient attackers, and they can grapple with their prey with their strong and flexible pedipalps, which look like a 5th pair of legs near its head. Whenever attacked, creatures with a Tarantula’s tail in your army will release a cloud of barbed hairs which will irritate and disorient any attackers near them, temporarily eliminating any organizational benefits those creatures possessed, such as hunting as a Pack, or moving defensively as a h\Herd. Brief: First Spotted: N/A Name: Termite Cost: 42/10 Health: 22 Defense: 15 Speed: 20 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (5) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Infestation (Head) Info: Termites are communal insects with a single queen matriarch, and feed upon wood and other cellulose materials. Termites are near legendary for their destructive tendencies, chewing through structural foundations to buildings where they often establish colonies. Termites possess the unique infestation ability , which allows a Termite who comes into contact with an enemy structure to burrow inside of it, never to be seen again- but causing massive damage to the structure over a period of time. No structure other than the Lab can survive being infested by termites twice in a row, unless it's repaired by Henchmen. Brief: First Spotted: N/A Name: Walking Stick Cost: 83/40 Health: 112 Defense: 19 Speed: 24 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 20 Size: 2 Attack 1: Bite (4) Head Attack 2: N/A Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Ground Level: 2 Abilities: Regeneration, Camouflage (Tail) Info: The Giant African Walking Stick Bug has been known to grow 14 inches in length. They receive their name from the shape and color of their body, which Camouflages them to look like a simple branch or stick. Walking Sticks can also Regenerate parts of their body which are damaged or even lost, allowing them to recover hit points after being in combat. Although slow moving, they are hardy and the largest Camouflaged creature available in your army, allowing for stealthy, inexpensive attacks early in your battles. Brief: First Spotted: N/A Name: Wasp Cost: 78/95 Health: 18 Defense: 25 Speed: 35 Water Speed: N/A Sight Radius: 25 Size: 1 Attack 1: Bite (2) Head Attack 2: Sting (2) Tail Attack 3: N/A Ranged Damage: N/A Movement Type: Flyer Level: 3 Abilities: Assassinate (Tail), Poison (Tail) Info: Wasps are actually more closely related to Ants than they are to Bees, despite the common association with the latter due to their ability to sting. However, like ants, Wasps are predatorily, and unlike bees who use their sting as a deterrent and defense, Wasps use their stingers offensively to paralyze and kill their prey. Wasps a mere inch in length are capable of killing animals several times their size with their toxic sting- once combined with another animal in your army of Sigma Creatures in a single blow. This must be used cautiously, however, as Wasps have very delicate bodies and accordingly low hit points.
