Hi I am Pi 13 Dec, 2017 @ 2:54pm
A little counter list, please?
So I thought, It's pretty hard to play this game on expert (obviously) and since this game is not too popular If someone could address me to good complete guide about the mutations/units needed so I can keep going forwards the story I would really appreciate it.

This question came to mind since I'm fighting against 3 hives that are pretty close together and they've got purple guns with little barrier shells that are really hard to kill them all since those turrets push your troops backwards and I don't know how to deal with the situation. Even snipers can't do anything because of their shells and they regenerate too fast.
I don't have access to the minigun and scout and I don't know what to do. But I'm eager to find out.
So far, I've unlocked the grenade, the ammo and the helicopter. As for buildings I've got the mortar, the turret and the medic bay.

Maybe I will have to farm some gold and buy starting troops but it just doesn't feel right.

One thing you can try: Stock up on ammo (especially with the expanded ammo building) and do 3x helicopter strikes on a hive.

To get rid of the shells around the towers, there are plenty of options:

1) use a scout to remove the shell from each, one by one
2) Drop a cluster bomb
3) Use helicopter strikes
4) Build the Grenades research building
5) Build Engineering and then place a few minefields
6) Build a flak cannon

Once the shells are removed, you're better off not destroying the towers, as they will just grow back again with the shells around them and you'll be back to square one. Use a minigun to target the hive itself - its high health and shield should keep it alive long enough, and its mass will stop it from getting knocked back too much by the spitter towers. Maybe keep an officer a short distance behind it so that when the hive is destroyed the minigunner will get a huge attack bonus for a few seconds, which should be enough to destroy all the towers in a few seconds.

Look for another way to remove the carapace(the little white spiky shells).
* Scouts are surprisingly efficient at it, but I see you don't have those yet.
* The grenades upgrade does a fantastic job if you can get enough marines in there, although they'll take damage.
* An airstrike will strip the carapace off easily.
* So will a cluster bomb.
* So will a flak cannon, although obviously that's pretty expensive.
* Ammo stockpile + mortars will also destroy carapace-protected towers from a safe distance, but it takes a while.
* If you want to get really cheeky, build the Engineering research, and then plant minefields directly underneath the towers.

Normally the most effective way to remove carapace is with flamethrowers. Unfortunately, impact towers can push your troops back, which makes flamethrowers useless. I believe forcefields prevent impact towers from knocking troops back, so you can use those to protect your flamers.

All these Ideas are great, the proglem is when there are three together I can only get rid of one and a half turrets of those three hives. I need a way to kill them all at once and then go with my marines to finish the job, but the spawn rate is way to high so I can only conquer one at most and they can get it back as soon as the new turrets respawn.

Maybe I'm just bad and I'm not executing well enough the strategy, either way, thanks for the help!

Hold on a sec. You talk about unlocking things - is this the campaign mode? If so, which mission? I seem to recall Preparations (the mission where you need to escort marines for the doctor in order to store supplies) has knockback turrets, and yes, it can be pretty tricky. You may have more luck leaving that cluster of three alone for the time being, and come back to it later.

There's a good guide to most of the campaign missions here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=401365127
