You always have 32 warlords in an Armada, 8 columns and 4 rows. That never changes. You have to be like Jean Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport. ? His Sensei taught him to fight blindfolded and to use his other senses. Also, the warlords make a specific noise when they run back and forth. They make different noises as they become less and less in the Armada, you can determine how many are left based on the noise that they make. So since you know where they are at the start and how they sound you can determine how to beat them. I developed a system to beat those two invisible levels and whereas I used to have trouble with them, I can tell you now that I beat the invisibles 95% of the time.... ?? Too advanced for me! You are the warlord master! Edited August 18, 2021 by IntyFanMatt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 So I was thinking--is it better to sit on a high score and post it at the end of the contest or post it as you get it? I think it's better to post it when you do it so people can congratulate you and you can drive competition! It also prevents you from failing to post a great Sharp Shot! score and NOT getting credit for it! Also, these are not great scores, but last week's Bomb Squad and Space Hawk were in first place for a while... My desk is messy so I cropped the photos.

So I guess you had a great Sharp Shot score and forgot to post it? How many points was it? ?♂️ Edited August 18, 2021 by Rickster8 Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think posting as you get it shows the best sportsmanship, although I have been burned in the past, haha, but ultimately I think it's in the best spirit of the game to do so. I like seeing all the high scores here, even if I don't get to play as much as I'd hope to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortex I agree, but what if you smash a score right away and want to build up the stamina with lesser scores? For me posting that BIG score right away is a bummer cuz it takes away from the build up of posting lesser scores and having fun doing it. With Space Hawk it was quite different. I learned the game and then went off on the very last day. So it's all based on scenario I think.... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Alright, my thumb needs a rest now. I love to play Space Battle on the hardest level, so I went straight to level 5 tonight. It’s insane and almost impossible not to die, but fun as hell. As for Space Armada, once the entire screen is invisible, I’m toast. Here’s the best I could do for now… Space Battle - 5:6 Space Armada - 26,680 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) My 2nd Space Battle Entry.... The Advanced Level is very fast on the strategy side... ? ADVANCED / DISC LEVEL - ALL CLEAR - 4:5 Note: There is a single yellow ship underneath the blue ship. You can kind of see the small yellow dot. ?

Rickster8 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 My Space Battle Update: Lol, the ONLY way I was able to get a perfect 'ALL CLEAR' on this level was to start with a map where the aliens were as far away from the Mother Ship as possible. So I wanna say they all started out beyond the outer layer... ? I also learned that you cannot have multiple battles going on at once because then you will lose ships in your squadrons.... ?

gezkc Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I remember playing Space Battle when I was a kid, but I don't think I ever owned it so I must have just rented it from the local video shop or something. I'll give it a try soon and see if it rings any bells! I'm not even going to try playing Bomb Squad - I tried reading the manual and it made no sense to me whatsoever! ?

gezkc Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I'm giving Space Battle a go now. I do remember playing this game - it always used to make me think of Battlestar Galactica, protecting the Battlestar from the Cylons! ? Just so I'm clear on the scoring for this game though - are we saying there are 4 difficulty levels or 5? I can understand that Blue is 3, White is 2, Gold/Yellow is 1 and Disc is 4, but how do you play level 5? Surely the best possible score is 4-9, or am I missing something? (Edit: Just read the instructions again - Super advanced speed is the Blue Return to Base key, so that's level 5!) Blue difficulty, 6 ships remaining so: 3-6 Edited August 21, 2021 by gezkc Answered my own question - just getting confused over difficulty levels! ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Space Battle 4:1 disc level. This was nerve wracking my last ship versus the enemies last ship. For whatever reason it reached my base way before I did and didnt blow it up. It just waited for me to get there which I was very happy about! ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
