Awesome guide. For folks still struggling -- 1) Try to put down lumber mills that give 11+ wood. At least two in the very beginning guarantees a strong start. 2) Don't overlook the value of hunting lodges and fishing mills. They help in the long run. 3) At the beginning, I usually have my soldier holding a narrow choke point (since he moves slow), or guarding the tents (if you've started too close to a doom village). 4) Pump out nothing but archers until your village is walled off. Soldiers make too much noise, and you can get overwhelmed quickly. 5) If you're hard up for power, and don't have your market yet, pick a low-producing lumber mill or quarry and cut the power off (I usually choose a quarry, since you only need 20 to build a barracks, and 40 to build a market).
Thank you very much for this. I'm nearly 40, been gaming since 3 and never played anything like an RTS so I'm sitting @ 45 hours with no wins yet, but I get better every time and love the game. Too many TAB vids assume the viewer knows wtf is going on. I most-certainly do not in the majority of them but this one helps very much. Great video sir!
Thank you so much! I have been looking forward to your tutorial for ages. It would also be great to see a full run through of one of your insane one gaziilion soldiers/rangers/no walls thingybob runs!
This is one of the few games where I don't feel bad after losing - I'm like, yeah, they earned it. Oh well, New Start! Great video Dude. Figured most of it out on my first 9 losses, only recently arrived at winning formula, but still some helpful hints. Learning curve is actually fun playing without tutorial, though :)
Thanks for the guide! One of my recent gameplay, I got so lucky that there is only 1 way to go through my base/city, was surrounded by trees, lakes, and mountains, and the only way in was a choke point that was only 5 blocks, but lost cus a f***in spitter managed to destroy a building that was behind the trees (between the spitter and building was 3 blocks of trees) and lost the game :') Still thank you for the guide! Will keep it in mind! And love your crazy strats xD
Man... thanks so much for all your TAB videos ...after playing for a month i couldn't get pass the first map...usually killed in the last wave.... I watched all your TAB final way scenarios and the different ways to defend against the final waves.... I wish I had seen them earlier ... and finally survived tonight. Thanks for your vids! I haven't watched this one yet, i'm sure there are some awesome tricks...and tips.
@@zoteiscool2134 endless mode is a bad idea with the map size as is as Tomasz said,. I usually have cleared the map by 50-60 so its alot of waiting haha
I'm still stuck in the Dark Moorlands, and don't see how you can build houses, troops, and industries so fast by day 20. space in the Moorlands is so constricted, and I'm forced to build them outward, making buildings subject to attack by roaming zeds.
It's very interesting, I disagree with a lot of what you do yet I have succeeded on every map and now I only play on nightmare difficulty. It's nice when a game like this has more than one way be a success.
Damn it, i didnt know that bank and market have to be in the midle of all houses... Edit: Ok, this helped A LOT! I did not even know about the goodies that you get from Z-towns nor did i care to take them out, that changes the game.
awesome dude! omg. - you have the workshop after a few days .. I am running with unnecessary consumption of resources and build innumerable wooden walls .. ok, Thanks for the tips!
Your actually really good at this, I enjoyed it quite a bit! Do you think you'll be able to make a video to show the differences between all the units and how to use them but also about Map 1, 2, 3 and 4 and give your tips about them? That would help us nooby players a lot! But thank you for this video, really helped a lot!
Thanks, but I'm not really a tutorial type channel so this will be the only one of it's kind here. If you're looking for more tips, I'd recommend just watch some TAB streams on Twitch. Glad you enjoyed this vid though :D
Wow onw huge help for me with this vid was building house horizontal first normally i go vertical and it was causing me to expand up and down and making it harder to protect. Also i just came back to the game I had no idea you could tare down the old structures.
Hi thanks for the video -really helpful - To be honest im trying to model my gameplay on your video, I'm struggling though, I tend to be a defensive player and like to hide behind big F!**! Off walls that I keep building too soon!! Anyhoo cheers again :-)
I am still stuck on the first map which does not seem to have such nice open spaces to build these sprawling towns on -its good for choke points though... Any tips when you dont have large open spaces to build towns that can benefit from Bank/Market?
For ravenfield: Get the UFO on any map (I recommend archipelago) and capture point's until the enemy has none THEN you get a cool weapon that fires AP Sabot
know im late but meh, i normalyl compartmetalize my base into multiple layers so they when i expand i dont destroy my walls i build them up, so if it goes to shit i can fall back to the last layer and rebuild
Man how can u over look the power of wood cottage I like to get those early on and get like 40 wood a turn sometimes I’ll get to 500 pop before the first wave if all goes good
just got back into playing this, still on the badlands struggling to get to the last wave and have a decent economy. (naturally the terrain on the 1st map can screw you over from time to time) hoping one day to beat the final wave and get onto the lowlands playing the same map style gets really boring after a while.
How did you get that last map shot @ 25:47? Is it multiple shots stiched together or is there a command I don't know to see the full map at the extreme zoomed out view?
Wow, so that means every victory I had on Map 1 and Map 2 was from a failing but lucky plan while you just decimate everything......I have so much to learn, especially since I have trouble on Map 3.
I rush to get a market first - it automatically sells your excess resources so it not only solves that but also gives you considerably more gold. Its a must as far as im concerned as a mid-level experienced player.
That's a good question, and it varies, depending on a few factors. It's a matter of the differences between them; Cottages supply 2x as much workers than tents (which is the main reason you build them in the first place) however; they cost 3 energy, while a tent only cost 1. So, apart from construction resources, cottages have the same upkeep as 3 tents, but only provides the workers of 2. Their gold production is the other way around; tents provide 8 gold, and cottages 18, which is a little more than double the amount. This all means that while you have building space available, build more tents. Simply because they are just cheaper per colonist, both in construction and upkeep. This will change once you get to build the Market (and you will run out of efficiënt space); you'll want to have as many colonists in the market range as possible, at which point you'll be upgrading to cottages as much as possible.
Hey kibitz. Love your stuff. I have a few editing questions if I may? Your blur transitions. Is it adobe premier that you use. I have an issue where if I try and do a directional blur my video clip turns all green/white? Any ideas? Is there another way to do it? Been trying to add them into my Football Manager vids but no luck so far. Thanks in advance
I cant get passed the Dark Moore first map.... it's so difficult to build in an organized manner. I feel the devs should flip the starting map to this one - Ive put 10+hrs into the map so far and can't get passed 95 days.
Strategies? You mean there are more then one? I mean what is better then zerg rushing the zombies with shit ton of archers? Absolutly nothing. That said i loved the little story with FORT AWESOME. I see at as the story of the old soldiers seen as useless due to new techologies and units so the government decide to get rid of them. But they can't just kill them so they send them to an outpost called *inhale* FORT AWESOME! Hoping they can at least slow the zombies. The soldier realasing their doom did what they always do follow orders, ready to fight till they guns gets so hot that melts the gloves of their hands and then some more. But when the Doomsday arived the survived dispate all odds and even go around the map killing every! Single! Undead! SON OF BITCH! They can find, proving once and for all that they are The biggest! The best! No They are better than the best.
Early game: nothing cheaper than archers. Early-mid game: nothing with more DPS than soldiers. Mid game: nothing more OP than vetted sniper ball. Final wave: nothing more OP than thanatos + executor. I mean, it's TECHNICALLY more than one viable strategy :)
Well you can go 12 pool and zergling rush get your speed early and do a base all in or play an eco game,get queens,basses and kill him late game or-oh shit wait wrong game
I’ve been getting recked on map 4 max zombies and 100 days. Noise is a much bigger problem in that map because zombies have better hearing mechanics and it’s common to pull harpy’s even by day 15-20. I do like your. Solider/sniper ratio 1:1 idea. I’m mostly afraid to use shoulders because they pull so much extra aggro. But I’ll try this strat. Any extra advice for map 4 build order?
Map 4 is a whole different ball game and a lot of the advice in this video won't work on that map, don't even use the soldier early game as it just attracts massive hordes (that's just my opinion though). Generally the same build order though, but you want to rush Ballista tech asap so you can kite zombies towards them. So ballista's are used for major clearing early game until you have a map clearing army and it's all the same from there.
ImKibitz finally beat it! 270% score factor 100 days. The solider/sniper strategy wasn’t a terrible idea even on that map. Ultimately it helps to have that meat shield in front of more expensive snipers. I got really lucky on economy starting off. In the end, I had 3 wonders built. But, the final wave breached me pretty bad. Just had to pause, delete, re-wall, move surviving Tropps around and eventually cleaned it up but half my city got wrecked.
@ImKibitz Great video, but do you know what is better than no wall, you need to build the Great Wall !!! Here is the challenge: build the wall to cover entire map with no connect with any forest and mountain, the wall must be connected with each other head-to-tail, and last but must important, DO NOT LET ANY ZOMBIE BREAK THROUGE!!! #01
Use a very small area and don't expand past early chokepoints; work with the resources within that area to try and defend against the final wave. Also, (optional) don't clear the whole map, other than nearby doom villages and zeds that get in your way. Sorry for not clarifying earlier, hope this helps. :)
Thanks for the clarification! If you want to do something like that as a challenge I'm sure it'd be fun! However if you're playing the game normally you generally want to keep expanding and clearing the map to make your life easier when the final wave hits.
I know this is an old comment but this is how I always play, I often don't go passed 1000 colonists and I have no trouble winning even on nightmare difficulty.
Played for an hour, just got the game, did like 2 quick games. Died like... super fast. I feel like I get swarmed from a random direction and it's too much to deal with. Maybe i'm expanding too fast? Basically been having rangers go patrol and clear out pockets around base, but i'm noticing you pretty much sat tight for the early game.
So, since this is for the second map, would you say it's the same basic strategy for the first one? I have been trying to beat the Dark Moreland for a while with no luck. I know it should be easy, but I guess I'm just using the wrong strategy.
Hows a house will get infected sir (Without zombies atacking it)? My houses need to watch by my soldiers because of that infection. Because of that my military production get waste.
Try playing on the next level up of population. They sporn more zombies during the map. Not just the swarms and the swarms are so much more dense. Your strategy would not have worked on that level only because the beginning is so difficult. Just clearing a few zombs is really hard there are hundreds right there and they all walk to you even if you keep your troops close in and not harassing them. Great play through. I learnt a few things. Loved it.
Glad you learned a thing or two! Also I know these tactics won't work on some harder difficulties, I just wanted to make something of a novice players guide :)
Main thing I now do differently is place houses in an ordered fashion. My previous attempts were everywhere. Do a video on how to do that. A short one. Ie base design. Still love watching your vids. Your commentary is excellent
well my houses keep getting infected on their own there are no zombies approaching or anything touching them I even surrounded them with walls and towers lol felt like a zoo but that didn't keep it from happning.
You pirated the game, didn't you? You downloaded it for free, didn't you? Come on, be honest. Man, this is why you research something before buying it for a large amount of money(I'm gonna be honest, yes, I was close to pirating it myself until I found out about the update that made houses become infected right when you place them when the game is pirated. Good job I say to the devs, good job).
@@healingthoughts3166 If I remember correctly, it's definitely an intended feature within the game to prevent pirates having fun. If I'm wrong, you can always do your research.
Like I did in this video, you just gotta be careful around the towns not to attract their agro and try to get a Ballista to defend asap. Also towns are pretty good midgame because of all the loot you get!
Dam look at all that build-able space. Free space is literally a hidden resource on this game.....screw the moorlands I normally have cliffs and lakes making my base resemble a piece of spaghetti 😭
Hi I have a issue, after 15 or 20 min playing and my base totally lock, all the wall and everthing, in one min one of my houses star making zombies, like one zombie hit it, but no zombie there and then I lose obviously, I load my save, and star looking there and I see it, without any zombie hit it the house this one destroy and make zombies you know something about it?? Pls help
You make it look so easy.
commitment to the game.
Can't be real game.

Actually the warehouse is more than useful, the resource buildings in its radius gain 20% of what they product
also, he tries to use the attack move to target the village of doom. you can't target it that way. he needs to right click it.

Here is the challenge: build the wall to cover entire map with no connect with any forest and mountain, the wall must be connected with each other head-to-tail, and last but must important, DO NOT LET ANY ZOMBIE BREAK THROUGE!!!

you are awesome
is it a good thing that when my tents get infected i destroy the ones that are fine around them to buy me more time?
If you're tents are getting infected do whatever it takes to survive lol
ok lol
Is there a way to play tall? If so, would you do a video about/trying it, (if you haven’t already done so)? :)
I don't know what play tall means.
Use a very small area and don't expand past early chokepoints; work with the resources within that area to try and defend against the final wave. Also, (optional) don't clear the whole map, other than nearby doom villages and zeds that get in your way. Sorry for not clarifying earlier, hope this helps. :)
Thanks for the clarification! If you want to do something like that as a challenge I'm sure it'd be fun! However if you're playing the game normally you generally want to keep expanding and clearing the map to make your life easier when the final wave hits.
I know this is an old comment but this is how I always play, I often don't go passed 1000 colonists and I have no trouble winning even on nightmare difficulty.
You need the endless wave with infinity zombies...
Played for an hour, just got the game, did like 2 quick games. Died like... super fast. I feel like I get swarmed from a random direction and it's too much to deal with. Maybe i'm expanding too fast?

So, since this is for the second map, would you say it's the same basic strategy for the first one? I have been trying to beat the Dark Moreland for a while with no luck. I know it should be easy, but I guess I'm just using the wrong strategy.
UberZackson1 I think the main obstacle for DM is building space. I usually aim for having an army as soon as posible so I can expand early
That's a good point. The space in DM is extremely limited. Thanks!
Ezequiel has the right idea, you have to really fight for space to get your economy rolling so an earlier army would help a lot more
ImKibitz first town in map1 always looks like a mess 🤣
Hows a house will get infected sir (Without zombies atacking it)? My houses need to watch by my soldiers because of that infection. Because of that my military production get waste.
That happens because you play a pirated copy of the game.
I'm tryingbto see how he got so much oil since Thanatos cost 2 oil from Production
Try playing on the next level up of population. They sporn more zombies during the map. Not just the swarms and the swarms are so much more dense. Your strategy would not have worked on that level only because the beginning is so difficult. Just clearing a few zombs is really hard there are hundreds right there and they all walk to you even if you keep your troops close in and not harassing them. Great play through. I learnt a few things. Loved it.
Glad you learned a thing or two! Also I know these tactics won't work on some harder difficulties, I just wanted to make something of a novice players guide :)
Main thing I now do differently is place houses in an ordered fashion. My previous attempts were everywhere. Do a video on how to do that. A short one. Ie base design. Still love watching your vids. Your commentary is excellent
Hello How do you deal with sudden illness in residential areas
Don't play a pirated copy of the game.
still on the first dam map, I cant hold back the horde no matter how many fences i make
Spam archers, say 20 or more, then kite (move in circles or back and forth)
I died 2 times last night. Did you ever make it?
well my houses keep getting infected on their own there are no zombies approaching or anything touching them I even surrounded them with walls and towers lol felt like a zoo but that didn't keep it from happning.
there are fast zombies that are really fast and can run over a single wall, so try to double walls, or. . . idk
You pirated the game, didn't you? You downloaded it for free, didn't you? Come on, be honest. Man, this is why you research something before buying it for a large amount of money(I'm gonna be honest, yes, I was close to pirating it myself until I found out about the update that made houses become infected right when you place them when the game is pirated. Good job I say to the devs, good job).
@@healingthoughts3166 If I remember correctly, it's definitely an intended feature within the game to prevent pirates having fun. If I'm wrong, you can always do your research.
Wow dude, you sound like Maddox.
can you train lalo salamanca armed with kalashnikov doing ratatatatatatatata???
i have a question everytime when im making a new game i set up defences and then reandom in my city is a infection idk how this is happening
You have a stolen copy of the game so the devs added that in so you couldn't play.
yeah .... I wanted to see if I like it . AND YES!!! IM ADDICTED
Buy the game.
I swear you get somebody the best spawns. I keep getting slapped in between zombie infested cities and mini zombie towns.
Like I did in this video, you just gotta be careful around the towns not to attract their agro and try to get a Ballista to defend asap. Also towns are pretty good midgame because of all the loot you get!
if ur map sucks just restart untill u find one thats good
If you knew my luck that would be 300+ restarts
how do u take a pic of ur whole base???
Either F10 or F12 (can't remember which)
Dam look at all that build-able space. Free space is literally a hidden resource on this game.....screw the moorlands I normally have cliffs and lakes making my base resemble a piece of spaghetti 😭
9:54 So there are a lot of OIL
You shoud talk about F4 key, it helps a lot
I mentioned it briefly when the update first came out, but I prefer not to use it because the game looks awful when it's activated.
Fucking Hel, the efficiency..
Okey, I can do this. Wish me luck...
shocking towers or executors?
What happend when you houses get infect sudenly?! How to stop that? I cant play more then 15mins
you need to have your rangers to protect them, plus it would help if you build walls and towers
I call the last wave the lag wave.
This map looks a lot easier than the first map. No matter what I try, I just cannot beat the first level.
Lower the difficulty - lower left corner. The devs are taking heavy criticism over it. It will be fixed, im sure.
Hi I have a issue, after 15 or 20 min playing and my base totally lock, all the wall and everthing, in one min one of my houses star making zombies, like one zombie hit it, but no zombie there and then I lose obviously, I load my save, and star looking there and I see it, without any zombie hit it the house this one destroy and make zombies you know something about it??
Pls help
EZ fix, don't play a pirated copy of the game.
Wall in your houses in sectors and have some ballista there to protect uninfected sectors.
I can't even build a fisherman
What maps are these? Its not the campaign.
