Drylands Map Walkthrough – Classic – Hard

Thanks to Biolyn from the website Weiphone.com, we now have a solution to beat the Drylands map on Hard Difficulty (Classic mode). This strategy doesn’t use the controversial ‘tower selling’ or ‘endless maze’ tactic, which some comrades believe is a type of cheat or exploit in the game.

Of course you don’t have to follow this guide exactly if you still want a challenge. Here at the Strategy Games HQ, we found it was more fun to use it as a rough guide instead of following it step by step.

  • The grid has been enabled on this map to make it easier to place your towers (Go into you Settings application on the iPhone to activate the grid).
  • Try to place them while paused, this way if you place them in the wrong location you can sell without a penalty.
  • We also try and use the surrounding scenery (flowers, trees) to help guide the placement of the towers.
  • Watch the current Round at the top of each screenshot to time your building.
