Well... go find the game.cfg file... (C > Program Files > A Violent World > Game Data > game.cfg) and change the code to something like...

[Campaign2]
Name = Normal
Levels = level6

To skip straight to the snow level on Normal difficulty.

As for strategy, build turrets FAST, then expand and upgrade. Get used to where the zombie farms start showing up, and it should be easy (until the freaking snow level).

Maybe a Quit option on the menu?


I LOVE the music in the intro/credits. Awesome :)

I usually don't play RTS and thought that this game is great: very different from the typical RTS; I liked the music too.

I was one of those who thought the difficulty jump from the 1st and 2nd levels was way too high. Took me quite a few tries to beat the 2nd level. I find the 3rd level pretty much impossible for me (any tips? ).

Like others have said, a save game or password option would've been nice.

Ok, some tips. :)

On the second level, start by building to "the left", towards the flamer and machine-gun site. Build the walls starting from the middle of the wall you have, so that when the second wall gets built, the last piece of wall will be almost in the middle (it won't quite reach the middle - but its enough to "touch" them) of both sites. You now have access to level 2 machine guns and flamers. Now, you should be able to beat it pretty much by just building level2 machine guns, and if the zombies or ninjas get too close, switch to the level2 flamers and quickly rotate towards them.

One thing I don't think is mentioned anywhere - the machine guns will only target stuff within a certain range, BUT, if they are firing and they miss their target, they will hit whatever is behind it no matter how far away it is. So it is possible to kill far-away graveyards with a high-level machinegun.

Although, for the largets graveyards, I don't think it's even possible with the machinegun so you better activate either the REM (Robot to Enemy Missile, for those of you that didn't read the manual ;)) site or the laser sites.




On level 3, Hell vs Water, start with activating the machine gun site closest to you. The wall should be built ALONG the building so you get the most wall/robot ratio, and the wall should be on your side of it.
The next thing you do, place a turret on the opposite side of it, closest to where the first graveyard spawns, and upgrade it - you should be able to kill it before the second bunch of zombies come out of it.

Then build your way down and activate the REM Site, and also make sure to put a level2 turret on the wall you built by the machine gun site. A graveyard should spawn there quite soon (it might already have).

Things to do next on the list: Activate the laser site so you can switch between lasers and machineguns depening on how far away the zombies are. Also, you might want to reinforce a wall or two depending on how much damage the pirate ships do.

You might also want to try and reach the second robot factory (the space ship) to get more robots, but I don't think it's necessary for completing the mission (although I usually do it). Another thing that can be very useful is to degrade/demote turrets to get your robots back.

Of all the games, I thought this one was the most fun. It has a kindof addictive charm to it. Very creative. My only complaint was that the tutorial took too long, and didn't explain the more difficult parts way too well.

Yeah, it might've been too long. But as I mentioned, we tried to take it really slow and easy in the beginning so people wouldn't get pissed off. Nothing worse than dying in the middle of a tutorial and having to replay it to see the end. :)

But yeah, a second more advanced tutorial was on my mind, but there never was time to make it.


And really, thanks for liking our game. :D

Wow, cool.

I didn't think about being able to make my own maps... I'm gonna have to try that!

So, the ninjas [smile]. When my view is at default, the ninjas get dropped under the blimps, which I can't see through. Once the blimp decides to leave, I can usually see them, unless they've hidden inside something.

Seriously, I'm going to have to try this custom map thing :) That, and the spacebar [grin].

Thanks for the fun game!

//edit. Also, it just crashed for the first time. I had entered my name after Level 1 (Deserted Area) when it died. Don't really have any other useful information...

//edit. One last thing - when the lasers fire, the line continues back behind the turret, but without the red color.

Yeah, the enter-name-hit-enter-crash-bug. Ugly thing. :( SHOULD be not too difficult to find though.

What do you mean with the laser thing? I think you are right (also very ugly solution), but I didn't know it was visible. :)

Going FPS is awesome! So much more cool to look at.





So, someone *has* beaten snowstorm on normal? Cause I'm not sure it's possible...
It would be possible if I could either destroy or shoot through walls.

Nice screenshot of the laser. :D

And the laser can fire through _anything_. As can the flamer. The laser will deal damage to all enemies in its path, so if you're lucky you can kill multiple zombies in one shot.
