Comments: Ranged gnomes, oh my!

Map 2: The Secret Chamber



Enemies: 4x Spearman, 1i Fungus Warriors (20/17/Walk) , 1i Wild Gnome

Attempts:2
Difficulty: 6
Comments: Lots of halting - even an aoe (non-ground effect) one from the Fungus Warrior. They don't seem that bothered about the vp squares until you've gotten closer.

 

Attack of the War Monkeys (lvl16)(v1.21)
#Maps: 4
Difficulty: 6
Comments: Lots of annoying card stealing, backstabbing et c. Keep at range and exhaust movement when able, vp squares map makes this a bit harder - possibly cover/deny vp sq with fire et c.


Map 1: Monkeys Attack



Enemies: 5x War Monkey (20/21/Scamper)

Attempts: 2
Difficulty: 6
Comments: Nasty buggers, keep at range (exhaust their moves and drop hotspot/firewall) - best to non-melee or attack from the back. Acrobatic Flip, Cowardly Attack and Picketpocket are really annoying!

Map 2: Into the Jungle



Enemies: 2 packs 3x War Monkey

Attempts: 2
Difficulty: 6
Comments: More of the same, divided into 2 groups. Contest 1 vp square (top possible easiest?) and kill them off until you win.

Map 3: The Treacherous Path



Enemies: 2x Flying Monkeys (23/16/Fly), 3x War Monkey

Attempts: 1
Difficulty: 5
Comments: Easier than the others, even if Acorn Sling is nasty - use LoS and kill off flyers.

Map 4: Monkey's Temple



Enemies: 2x Flying Monkeys (23/16/Fly), Zaius (25/19/Scamper)

Attempts: 2
Difficulty: 6
Comments: Zaius is a nasty bugger - try to get him down from range is my advice.
