Level 17: Hide and Seek

[Edwina]

I followed the above advice.  Through some luck and timing, I had 38 seeds and jumped over to another of the large asteroids after the enemies fought each other instead of attacking me.  I took and immediately went to the small asteriod behind and got reinforcements. I survived a couple attacks, which further weakened my opponents.  I then went for another big asteriod and it was pretty much over after that.  I got lucky because they didn't wipe me out before I could get started, they didn't throw up a bunch of defense trees and they didn't harass me to the point I was too weak to do anything

Interesting, none of the videos were on the ipad (obviousfrom the mouse clicking graphic/sound). What I noticed was that in the videos the AI is far less aggressive and planted far fewer Dyson. I wonder if this is a difference from console to IOS version?

[Frustrated]

I just wanted to add my frustration about this level.  This game has been a joy to play until now (playing on iPhone), and there is nothing more frustrating playing a game than playing a level that is ridiculously hard.  I've employed all the stated strategies and nothing has worked, and of course now the game is over for me because I can't move on until I beat the level.

Awesome game, unfortunately the level of frustration caused by this level forces me to rate it a one star on iTunes.....sorry.

First thing - ask us for support if you're stuck! If you're your struggling in a level it's a tactical problem. We provide a hint but in this case (l18) one or two are still struggling. Rudolf is going to do a walk through for it and we will update the app to make it easier on easy mode.

The problem for us is that it's also other people's favourite level, and we get comments about being too easy.

It's a little annoying to have someone play that deep into the game, to the point where it is meant to be harder, and then to get one star. It's your choice but it affects us and our sales so it is frustrating.

Remember you can skip this level at any time - options -unlock.

Attached is a DLL that replaces your existing levels.dll with a fixed level 18 that should stop the enemy planting a tree on the asteroid they come from as they leave it.

Back up your original levels.dll before using this one.

Please let me know if you have trouble with this file!

Thanks.

Please note this fix ONLY APPLIES TO CLASSIC EUFLORIA ON PC, it is not meant for any of the other (HD) releases!

Alex, should I put that fix up on the website in the FAQ / Downloads?

[Rudolf]

I say yes!

[Alex]

Yes.

When I get a chance, I'll do a new Support page and get the draft wiki moving along.
