Tim,

It would do me a great service if you could post something like a Crimsonland mini strategy guide because my high score can't touch yours. (My best is 291,000 or something.)

Anyway, I just wanted to know what guns you prefer, sort of like a pick order something like your top five. And what are your favorite perks? Do you like Regression Bullets? How do you stay alive with the splitter gun? Do you run in a circle around the edge of the map or do you just move around?

I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Mike.

Here goes.

Anything that hurts you sucks. Therefore...ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ignore "regression bullets" or "Jinxed" or "Grim Deal" or "Fatal Lottery" or "Ammunition within."
Perk Master and Perk Expert are decoys. they don't help. They only give you 6 perks to choose from instead of 5. Never pick them unless you don't have a better choice.
With that said...these are the three best perks, and they are in order of importance.
Telekenetic
Bonus Magnet
Bonus Economist

Best guns...in order

Plasma Shotgun
Plasma Minigun
Ion Minigun
Jackhammer

Don't be deceived by the 'destructive power" of the ion cannon. Once you break 200,000 it takes too long to load and doesn't kill enough...not only that, but it is heavy and make your guy go slow.

With that said....The "Long Distance Runner" is important. The guys progressively get faster..so you need to as well.

That should help.

Let me finish by saying. Practice is the best course. YOu play forever and ever. I honestly havne't scored under 300,000 for 5 months. If you want to place in the top 100 at home...you'd best have a score of 400,000 or better.
If you want in the top ten....you better be over 1.1Million.

As Josh and my brother Andy will testify. Once you break the 500,000 barrier...you know it can be done...and you get better. As soon as I broke it...I got better. So you just need to do that once.

Mike...over Christmas..you should just watch me sometime. Grant and Josh will testify that it is fascinating to watch.

My hightest score is with the Splitter gun. You'd better know what you're doing before you use that gun. It can hurt you.

I broke 1 Mill with the shotgun once....let's just say I had a lot of Fire bullets.

Umm...I very much love this game. I hold all the records at home..except "Rush"...my brother David pulled a 53 seconds out of his butt once. That's second best...ever. I think that longest "legit" time I've seen online is 54.2

Umm...I like this game...in case you can't tell. hope that helps...it's just something you need to watch. It's like there is a switch that goes off in your head after you see it can be done.
Hope that helps.
I'll expound further some other time.
Tim

[> Splitter Gun Techniques -- TK, 22:39:57 12/01/04 Wed

I forgot to answer your questions about the Splitter gun

here is a checklist

1.) Shields. Get all of them...and when you have them...let the guys gather around you...and just before the sheild dies....fire a bunch of times into the grouping and clear them out. After 300,000 that's not an option.
2.) With the splitter gun you NEED Regeneration and Greater Regeneration
3.) With the splitter do NOT get "Barrel Greaser" until it is your last choice.
4.) The reflex booster is important...it allows you to dodge the bullets.
5.) When you get the spiders that die and turn into two more spiders...you would do well to try killing them iwth fire bullets or a nuke...you're splitter gun will create too many bullets to dodge.

Later

Thanks a lot Tim. Looks like I have some "studying" to do.
