[rennervate]

BTW - how did u start? which weapon do u build first?

[Martin Gronsdal]

Spoiler

I didn't build anything first. Just killed all the enemy towers before I did anything else

[rennervate]

tha's the "Martin Way"  :D

[Arno]

Liked it very much too.
Good start and then quite a bit of fine tuning to survive and then conqueer 4 axis to reach the sides of the map.

[Martin Gronsdal]

Then what?

I can't see any other way to do it other than this.

The faster way:

Spoiler

Bring one cannon back to the central island and start clearing, build a collector then another cannon. You can take the central island very quickly. You want to get to a point where 4 mortors are your main defense. Then go top left and bottom right using the CN as a bridging unit.

I looked all over the damn place for that 'one cannon' to 'bring back' and couldn't find it.

Then I figured that you wanted me to Siphon one of the family jewels, build a Cannon, then 'bring it back' to the center.
Two countries separated by a common language.
;)

I couldn't make it work with just one Cannon. Used both jewels for two Cannons and am starting to build out my base.

Double X does make you work for your supper.
Fun so far.
Thanks,
H

D0 - am I going to be floating this CN for the whole game?
All things considered, floating CN's is not my favorite activity.
(It interferes with my beer drinking.)

Hey H

No only from time to time!

Spoiler

One cannon works but you need to then build a second bake at base and then float the Cn just before it dies

[close]

You don't need to float again but the alternative is a hard battle straight out along one of the thin paths and thats a nightmare!

Thats' exactly what I did and it worked perfectly well with some small terping and fine tuning
I did it simultaneously in the 4 directions and reached a decent time

Spoiler

@Helper, it requires no floating CN after the initial build of a canon

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm going to give this one a rest for a while.
When I read "Then go top left and bottom right using the CN as a bridging unit." - I thought you meant attack on the diagonal (with floating CN).
I think I have a good early game save and will try it again.

A bit o' wisdom..."Infantry Simple" means you use pictures, not words.
The End.
