Max. of 1367 so far. Between 600 and 700 the terrain starts to get noticeably more tricky.

2242. I need to stop playing this. I think it's a bit lame that the terrain sometimes can't be flown through - the terrain generator seems to be a bit too random at times.

The best strategy seems to be to use those rocket launchers. A better strategy is to have a booster tower in the middle surrounded by rocket launchers. The latter is difficult to get right but works well. You are bound to squash all creeps if you do this

Exactly, I also thought that lengthening the route would be the best strategy but it didn't work for me too.

Any better strategy?

[Edit : I meant to say route not root. ]

I created a more complex and long maze and my high score is now 2657+546 (I think this 546 is for the gold that was left but I'm actually not very sure)...

Thanks, wasted 1/4 day on that....

My strategy was to build the maze to funnel aliens into one singal route and then maximize the length of the route from begining to end, then focus on upgrading or buying towers with longest range (centrally located included).
