Let's Deploy Darwinia Part 6: Guns of Gigabytes.
2Just to get rid of ants.
Red ants from virtual hell.
So... Armour. Pretty dang useful if you ask me.
Transport between 10-40 Darwinians, transformed into a cannon that deals Explosive damage. Simply put, it can kill Spiders and the lot!
This makes it perfect to hold forward locations and defend areas barraged by Spawner Eggs.
Better yet, it can go where nobody can. It floats over the steepest hills and dives through the deepest ocean, allowing it to go pretty much anywhere.
To counteract, it needs 4 dudes for the Turret to work, even if you control it manual!
While mobile, it can't even attack, and I think the dudes inside die when she blows. So, it's a high risk, high gain thing going on.
Upgrades are good. More dudes to carry, 10 per pop, and it makes the turret shoot farther, which is the main drawback. So, get a few levels in there!
But it actually gets a bit worse. While the Yard gives them for free, no Task Manager space used, and deployed where you need them... anywhere else, they follow different rules.
First, they can only be spawned near Truck Ports, limiting global deployment.
Second, the Yard gives them, no room required. Elsewhere, they take up a space, like Engineers.
Third, they are removed from the TM bar when turned into turrets. This means you can deploy them to free up space while not wasting it's potential!
They're unique, powerful, useful and practical! To put it simple, it's worth exploring their potential a bit.
As for the level itself, shit goes down hard. Undesirable terrain, mixed with strong enemies and spread out squads of doom! A good aim and timing are a must to get through alright.
But those are routine now. Spiders, even when mixed with those floating tentacle monsters, aren't a big deal.
Ants are! Ants are Engineers + Spiders. They're fast and deadly, and pick up souls to turn into more ants at anthills. Must be gross and weird, for a Darwinia to be reborn as a viral ant...
Anyway, they're tough to kill too. No amount of Squads can kill them. Their hills are only destroyable with explosives and you need to flank them for success...
Which is why you get Armour.
