I would like to suggest a faster build rate for humans so people who solo can build faster so when 'they' come we will have the proper defenses to survive and it can also allow people to go solo. Since version 4.7 is harder then 4.6 because of the terrain changes, more double, triple entrances, you might want to consider increasing the build rate of our builders, and an increase of upgrading, researching things. The best way I can think of right now to win is to have a lumber supplier, tower builder and a wall builder(3 builders) all in the same base, that's 1 way I won, but if you solo in a double, triple entrance area, you will definitely fail because of the building rate and sometimes upgrading rate. The boosts doesn't have to be big, some just minor tweaks to make it faster would be fine so solo-ers stand a chance. Please and thanks.

Firstly, i SUPPORT the idea of faster build times.
Secondly, however, i do NOT have any idea to implement this WITHOUT affecting game balance, the idea suggested currently will make the game too easy to be played.
Thirdly, heres a method to improve building speed.

Key:
X-repair bot
O-Lumber mills

O O O
O X O
O O O

Step 1: build the repair bot in that place
Step 2: start constructing the lumber mills BUT DON'T COMPLETE THEM (i.E leave them partially built)
Step 3: use the repair bot to build the mills
Step 4: ???
Step 5: PROFIT!!!

It may seem too hard but its possible to solo even impossible mode....only thing is you won't kill enough creeps in time XD that was my problem actually

That actually isn't do to the slow building however. I've cheated in single player before to mess around during solo and with all the towers in the one entrance solo place I couldn't kill them fast enough. And thats cheating. It just goes to show you need good teamwork to play fortress survival and win.

cheat in bot right corner base.

[PrinceofIce]

cheat in bot right corner base.

I was cheating because I wanted to see if it was possible at all. Corner right base isn't probable to win there without cheating. My point was its practically impossible to beat impossible when soloing.

[duckne55]

then bug abuse+ use ricos.
Ricos for creeps, and hex trojan.
if u're good enough you can beat impossible that way.

impossible is nothing. (pun unintended)

Depending on how you play, the game can get pretty hard.

Yea I'll have to agree Nevo made it much easier =P

[Nevo]

I only made it easier because of the all the requests. Besides, its still a challenge, and ill be making it harder for 4.9.

[AcediaPH]

I agree with Nevo . It makes the game more challenging when build rate is low

[ReD]

Use Repair factory to build fast 

[AcediaPH]

I agree with ReD . Both of us uses that strategy .

[Jem]

I agree with ReD . Both of us uses that strategy .

Almost all players use this strategy.

[AcediaPH]

Yep . That strategy is being spreaded everywhere.. LOL. Even noobs do it these days.

[ReD]

hahaha

[AcediaPH]

Hahaha? Only that ? xD
