Idk how much you progressed in the past 2 months since uploading this but I have 1 major piece of advice for you and everyone else that's either new or around level 30 and still ha a ways to go before maxing out stuff / obtaining achievements. but the best piece of advice I can share is just don't rush too much. I did this in the past, I see players do it all the time. Lay the foundation for your future. step 1. make sure you have the required buildings for MvM. I don't think the game tells you until it's too late so here: City level 10 requires fast bloons researched to send attacks 12 needs thermal researched 14 needs lead 15 is regrow 16 is camo 17 is rainbow 18 is ceramic now you have more levels to not rush, 22 is moab 28 is BFB 34 is ZOMG. you have access to most of this stuff before the level that requires it. if you purposely don't level up then build and research these, you can never be locked out of sending attacks due to this. same thing applies to tower upgrades. Just take a day or 3 not capturing tiles or rushing upgrades that aren't useful to lower XP gain, make sure you have your banks full from CT / banana farm city cash so that you can overflow from other sources. It may seem counterproductive at first, but trust me. If you rush everything you will have no time or money for anything. You will constantly be grinding city cash for something just to buy it and be back at 0 cash, and it will take many hours and many days of waiting. Days you are FORCED to wait, whereas you can CHOOSE to wait in the beginning then never be forced to wait for money again, only research. I'm not saying you have to minmax, but if you just simply accumulate money early, or at least focus on great upgrades such as triple dart (level 10), tier 3 ice, glue (hose), tier 3 dartling (hyrda rocket pods, level 15) you'll be able to start capturing more tiles, harder tiles, easier, faster, and without as much frustration. for example if you're level 12, you can afford amazing tier 3s without even overflowing your bank capacity, then move on to higher city levels with those amazing T3s, have money saved up and you can capture more tiles. Your monkey towers and their upgrades and popping power are more valuable than city cash and starting lives, or some new building that wont help and costs more than you can afford
Having to stay put, not expand your city via tiles and managing your entire city as is with just your Farms and patience is such a commendable move that requires tons of willpower...
Some things I want to say so I can have an excuse to be geeky and share the useless knowledge I gather from games I put a lot of time in: - Engineers are a lot better than farms for gaining cash in BMC. Bloon traps generate around the same amount of cash as a factory crate (and sometimes more) and they're much cheaper to get vs getting a factory which would be the equivalent of 3 bloon traps which can make around $1500 total, so just imagine how much cash you'd have at the end of 1 round. Ideally, for early game, I like to have bloon traps at the start since it's mostly just regular bloons. For late game, you might want to move them relative to where your towers pop the Zomgs so you can get the cash from them. Also be mindful of tracks like 9:00 where the paths are close together. You ideally want the bloon traps to always spawn in a specific, consistent spot, so if you were to put a bloon trap where the engineer at 10:36 is, you're relying on rng to put the trap in the spot you want it to go in. At least to me, the best spot would be in the area where the banana farm to the far left is. - The hard limit on the amount of cash you can only only applies to the farms and I believe the contested territory cash (in other words, the cash you manually collect). Even if you've reached your cash limit, you can still earn cash from MvM attacks, tiles, and special missions. Speaking of special missions, if you've already completed consecrated grounds, you can grind that over and over for 5000 cash, and if you play will it only takes 2-3 minutes (it's not that hard anyway, and you can get away with the same strat unless early game rng sends too much camo). - 6:36 your ninja was in a bad spot. It would have been better to put it in the area where the glue gunner is so it can catch the leaks. The 2 dart monkeys near the glue gunners at 6:53 proves why that's a better spot. Glue splatter is also a better investment over multiple glues because it can glue up 6 bloons vs 3 glue gunners only gluing up 3. Put the x-2 glue near a x-1 village and now it's gluing up to 12 bloons vs 3 gluing 6. - 7:40 I like to call this "Zomg push" which is exclusive to contested territory. It's inspired by Moab push where the game tries to send out a moab as early as possible, expect here it's a Zomg. You can tell when it's a Zomg push by how early the moab appears, and these honestly aren't worth grinding because late game starts very early, meaning something like 30 round will start taking 2-3 minutes, something you'd expect at round 60-70. - Artic wind and ice shards are great against bloons, but they're also great against Moab class bloons, specifically the ice shards. All you need is a cluster of bloons in the area, causing the ice shards to turn the bloons into shards, and the massive amount of shards can obliterate Moabs, BFBs, and Zomgs, turning them into clusters to repeat to process of bloon torture. Just expect lag from the game doing behind the scenes math. Getting an MIB (or 2-3 village) will help make the ice shard more OP since it'll get more pierce, and speed, but zebras and whites are no longer a weakness, especially if that's what the cluster mostly consists of. - You should invest in getting bloon sabotage or absolute zero, as those can help you not need to use boosts. Cripple Moab would also be a good investment too since snipers are very useful for late game, especially when you take advantage of Cripple Moab's mechanic. Snipers on strong should be used anyway just for maximum Moab popping power. You should also get the bloon chipper for obvious reasons. - 10:20 This' both a visual glitch and bug. For whatever reason, if you happen to enter a contested territory and "nobody is there," your opponents are there, but you have to play the contested territory first just so the game will update and show your opponents. This' what leads to the surprise of seeing someone else capturing the tile. As for contested territory not saving your record, I think that also might have to do with the visual glitch. - While temples are the go-to for late game, some good runner ups are bloon chippers (which are needed anyway), spectre, ice shards, and viscous little missiles (aka, the rocket pods. I really like its description). If you play on certain maps like Clover, putting a bunch of moab shredders specifically at the end of the track is perfect for late game. Okay, me done. Back to BTD5 grinding to unlock mastery (again...)
Glad to know engi's still busted lol, always been one of my favorite towers since I was a kid playing btd battles and not even having enough medallions to actually level him up lol.
@brandonh.1812 Wait does that happen on the mobile version? I guess that would explain why sometimes I'll be able to easily get pretty far on my first run but then struggle to even make it back to 15 again after the reset.
Really been enjoying this content. BTD6 is the only Bloons game I play anymore but I've been a fan of the series since the OG Bloons. I had BMC on my phone for a while and really enjoyed this game.
After somehow getting through early game spamming top path bloonchippers couple sun avatars or as much ninjas as possible uner a village with couple glue hose can take you to r60 easily, banana research facilities also important and if farms banned, definitely go for engineer traps otherwise you gona lack tonnes of money in the lategame and traps are op
I remember you being the first person who really started commenting on my BTD videos, it's awesome you're still watching and I'm really glad you've been able to see the channel grow as well!
Wow man thank you so much for the kind words! I don't use curse words because I honestly think it's a cheap way for people to express emotion when better options are available, and I'm really glad to know people appreciate it!
Good work, I'd definitely recommend investing in the Monkey Intelligence Bureau upgrade for the village in order to let your Arctic Wind pop Ice/Zebras and your Moab Maulers pop Lead/DDTs (are DDTs even in this version of BMC? i know they were in flash)
Huge tips here that got me to round 90~ at level 21: Don't underestimate dartling gunners, the 2-3 dartling is cheap but the 2-4 dartling is even more worth it, tripling the attack output and adding an ability that destroys most ceramics that escape from the MOAB-class bloons. GET THE LEVEL 2 FARMS. It doubles the money output AND the max capacity. Coming back to the game with 2x more city cash than you would've made with level 1 farms can increase wealth exponentially faster. Monkey Town is worth it, due to ramping where cash drops from 1 per bloon to 0.02 per bloon. The 50% increase in cash per pop DOESN'T mean it only increases from 0.02 to 0.03, it means increasing to 0.52 per bloon, which can very quickly make banana farms less viable. Also, using Monkey Town with Bloon Trap is a very good idea. (From what ive seen/tried it can generate 400k per 10-12 rounds.) Edit: round 90 has about 100 zomgs (from what I saw lol) which was extremely painful. 2-4 dartlings carried.
Thanks for the advice! The Monkey Town tip is honestly insane as well, if that also works in BTD5 I bet it really could make a huge difference for some other challenges
this kind of makes me wonder what the optimal city level for round 100 CT is cause lower levels cohorts have easier CT rounds. Hypothetically if you were using hacks to be in a level 5 CT at level 40 getting to round 100 should be easier and faster than if you were in a level 40 CT. round 90 at level 21 is nice. very impressive. Do you have any special highest rounds at earlier levels like level 12 or 15?
honestly the most simple way to get OP would be the isab plane. just spaming it together with vilage reaches way over round 40. the only problem is lag
I stick to the flash version because it's way harder imo, but bloon traps on this version specifically carried me INCREDIBLY hard in regular levels, and CT. Also bloonjitsu is my fav upgrade of all time in this game so I recommend that too
Dude how do you play on the flash version ? please I need to know. I have played it so much but then I was just forced to drop with it not working anymore
When you reach like city level 36+, you end up with no one fighting in contested territory, so its free. Also, you should rush bloontrap. Its an INSANELY great farm!
@@Phenomix fyi if you were wondering why bloontrap is insane, its because it both defends & makes money but it also ignores cash reduction. 4 ceramics in a bloontrap is ALWAYS 500$. No matter if you're on R100, or R1.
@snowdrop9810 monkey town upgrade on village also multiplies the cash earned from bloontrap making it eben better. I'm getting around $1500 from a trap
Somebody in the comments was saying it's actually a glitch that happens when you play a Boss Event before entering Contested Territory. I'll have to check that out and see sometime
Yeah, that could be, but I played a volcano map on the game and died at round 22 since ZOMG spawned so early this is before I had bloon traps or good farms
Bloons monkey city :D i honestly really like this video, especially the contested territory gameplay. You should make more mnkey city content (if you can’t find something to make content on.) like the boss events or something
Yeah I should've gone for the MIB during this challenge, the only thing is that it can be a little expensive when you don't have access to banana farms, but I certainly wasn't thinking about other farms like Bloon Trap and Sniper Farms, so that would've helped me afford the MIB and Ice Monkeys for sure.
i play this game a lot and since youre struggling with cash, you should upgrade your banana farms. also, you will face the exact same contested territory lobbies as a level 21 22 23 and 24, it only changes every 4 levels.
Since it seems RUclips doesn't show you notifications for mentions, but it does for comments, I'll answer you here (or at least it looks like, you always repsond to comments but never to responses) BRF is Banana Research Facility, and the glitch is that, when banana farms get upgraded mid round, they don't update and produce the same amount until the round ends, so upgrading a BRF when a round started will make all Banana republic bananas, but a crates. For Sacred Grounds look in your city for a broken temple, it has 10 hard rounds and only allows for wizards and super monkeys, and you need it to build Temple Complex And when are you streaming again? Monkey City is an amazing streaming content.
I'll probably start streaming every Wednesday, and thank you for all the advice! I'm not sure why youtube wouldn't allow you to reply with your original thoughts
Hey man, love you vids. Btw i was Ziyo on that one ( 12:45 ), i was struggling at that time more on moab power than the bloon power itself, so i got stuck on round 34
That's so cool that I actually got to compete with at least one person who watched the video! And yeah that makes total sense, I'm still lacking MOAB popping power to an extent myself.
Also, some more pro tips: You did well with the jitsu start, you just should have used a wizard instead of glue and put the ninja in range of the exit. And it works in all land biomes. Once you have it, Sacred Grounds (the broken temple) in freeplay is the best way to farm, just get all sun gods and you get 5k super quickly And also, in this game the BRF quick upgrade is a thing
@@Phenomix BRF is Banana Research Facility. If you don't know the glitch, it is that when you upgrade a banana farm mid round, the amount doesn't adapt and gives the same amount as the last upgrade. For some reason, BRF gives the same amount of bananas as Banana Republic, but as crates, so it is a huge increase, the best is to upgrade as soon as a round starts. And for Sacred Grounds look for a broken temple outside your city, it is a hard tile that only allows wizards and super monkeys. You need it to build Temple Complex. And when are you streaming again?
@@Phenomix No way, my comment got deleted. BRF is Banana Research Facility, and the glitch is that, when banana farms get upgraded mid round, they don't update and produce the same amount until the round ends, so upgrading a BRF when a round started will make all Banana republic bananas, but a crates. For Sacred Grounds look in your city for a broken temple, it has 10 hard rounds and only allows for wizards and super monkeys, and you need it to build Temple Complex And when are you streaming again? Monkey City is an amazing streaming content.
Specter is a really easy unlock city-wise and is incredibly powerful. You can often solo a ZOMG with a specter(at least with jungle drums) and they aren't very limited by pierce. Whenever I start a new account, it's my go-to for a 4th tier to push unlock.
Hey man, If you want to be incredibly overpowered get the hydra rocket pods for the dartling gunners, there is a bug where the rockets apparently pierce through targets, basically making any level a cakewalk, and a 2-2 dartlng gunner can survive a surprising amount of rounds on it's own, just place the darling gunner so it hits a long part of the track, (preferably straight lines), and you'll be set.
@@Phenomix Your welcome, HRP are the best way to deal with clusters of bloons, regrows, and Ceramics. it isnt as good against blimps (unless multiple) the best options for dealing damage is destroyer, triple dart, double shot, (or ninjitsu if you have it) destroyer is the best and most effective for the price, but some maps dont have water, if they dont just spam triple dart and ninjitsu
Thank you and i have a problem a and it's the same as you some people in contested territory that went to round 56 How do you get stronger in bloons monkey city
@@Phenomixupgrade your city banana farm. You can do that by tapping twice. The first time will collect current cash and the second open the upgrade menu. It makes them make more cash with increased capacity. After doing this your economy will thrive.
Long time BMC player here, I definitely have some recommendations regarding the strat for CC 1. 4-0 engi is extremely busted in term of cash generation. You won’t even need farm with this. 2. Before I got the 4-0 super, a strat I used to get very far is using a bunch of 1-3/1-4 spike factories close to a 2-3 ice and 3-2 in range of a 2-3 village. You only need to pop one zomg and the whole thing will just chain react cuz of the 2-3 ice. Warning: Huge lag. Of course this won’t work on Jungle or Volcano terrain, but otherwise you should be able to dominate for right now. 3. People have mentioned that x-3/x-4 dartling is op so I won’t say much else.
Thank you so much for the advice! I definitely overlooked the Bloon Trap as a source of cash generation, and I do have the Hydra Rocket Pods unlocking as I type this, so I think a follow-up video is in order soon!
if you build and upgrade a banana farm to a banana republic, start a round and upgrade into a factory after the round starts it will produce a banana republics amount of crates, ie 13 crates. then when the round ends sell the factory, upgrade to a republic, start round, upgrade to factory. on a map I just played (can't remember how prices or anything differs as this is my first time picking up the game in years) and once you factor in the money lost from selling and rebuying it was a profit of 4787 cash per round.
I got so far in this game but then i lost all my data because i didnt sign in (because parental controls wouldnt let me) and the game updated and all my progess was gone
I can’t think of a better way to make people think you’re lying than by saying “IM NOT LYING” in all caps. (Can confirm he’s big money tho I’m his brother)
using a mix or 4/1 and 4/0 snipers to stagger the stun (some on strong, some on last), 4/2 bloonchippers, a 3/2 and 2/3 ice under a 2/3 village and you can defend well beyond round 50 though lag becomes the main issue due to ice shards' exponential popping power
Thank you for letting me know a good strategy! I know the Sniper Trick from when I played BTD Battles for a bit and I definitely didn't utilize all the towers I should've when making this video
Ok I been on and off playing BMC for the past decade and wanted to offer some advice: The issue of the round 17 ZOMG in CT is that CT was ""cursed". Lss if you do a beacon/boss then enter the CT the bloons waves get cartoonish hard, ie level 17 ZOMGs, this is a will known glitch. To fix all you need to is take a non beacon tile, or you or your "my tiles" I picked the bloonprint only cause by far fastest. Now the real key to being OP in the 20s with CT is monkey ace, the 4/2 ace is broken, two in range of a 2/1 village is more then enough to tank most maps into the 40s 3 or 4 should take you into the 50s. And IMO yes this is worth buying vie bloonstones. Another tower you are going to want to upgrade soon is the snipers, 0/4 snipers are the key to sniper farming, and since sniper can be used on every map in the game there how you make even more that farms money in the non farming tiles. This is more just my play style but I like a well placed 0/2 mortar and 4/2 ninja as my main attack line, until i can buy ace/bomb/etc I also use 0/0 factories as a leak guard. One other thing on water tiles, boats are OP the it depend on the map ofc but the 0/2 boat is on of the best popping power to price tower in the game and at 3/2 is on par with a 0/1 supers nay better because of the grape shot.
Thank you so much for all your advice, it really goes a long way to learn from more experienced players. Someone else told me the round 17 ZOMG was something called "ZOMG Push" that's the same as MOAB Push but I didn't realize it was just a glitch. I was wondering because it felt like none of the other players were being affected whereas I was.
@@sarim742 Sorry I should of explained better once you enter CT the rounds are locked there is not way to "uncurse" my advice was to prevent the curse from happening to begin with. Also I wish I could offer advise on how to get far on the current map but without, aces, heli, or dartlings there is no real silver bullets for a cursed monkey's tail save ofc temples.
I was going to say it feels weird to see the t4 bloonjustu take barely more time to unlock than a t3 like glaive ricochet or canon ship, but I guess the time's probably just loaded more into the associated building required. (I'm only level 17 so this is the first time I'm seeing a t4 in this game lol)
I think that makes the Bloonjitsu a really good early investment, but it definitely is weird that the cannon ship takes nearly as long considering it isn't all that valuable of a 3rd tier upgrade. It isn't like the Sun God which you'd expect to take longer than some T4's
@@Phenomix Yeah, I'm glad that they ended up buffing the cannon ship in btd6. It's such a cool upgrade in theory, but it's just so not worth it unless you're going straight for pirate ship for bfbs in the older games when for like 400 more you can instead go for the destroyer for like over double the dps and only sacrificing lead popping.
I have already 90% of upgrades . I don't have 0-4 supermonkey , 0-4 heli pilot , 4-0 dartling gunner , 4-0 banana farm , 0-4 ace , 4-0 engineer , 0-4 bloon (I don't remember second word ), 4-0 mortal , 4-0 bomb shooter . I created sun temple by using 6 bank tactic .
Hydra rocket pods carry and are cheap, dartling gunners can pop early leads if you go 1 2 first. 2-3 gunners + a village is usually all you need to get rocket pods early
Sounds like a plan! I have a couple videos planned in the meantime, but I definitely wanna make a sequel where I try to become more powerful, and maybe another one where I even try to build a massive city and organize everything
@@Phenomix Ramaf Party (creator of BTDX) linked your latest video on his community page and I gotta say I really like your content! Thanks for giving me videos I can watch during lunch :)
1:58 hold on i did NOT know about land buccaneer if farms can be banned then you shoulda gotten monkey town since that's also great money making, right?
you should done when your lvl 18 is to save 30 k money to buy robo monkey building and save money when your lvl 20 to upgrade robo monkey and 3-2 wizard upgrade because if you grind in 5k gold special mission its easy to grind money
@@StarburstStreamz well its worth it because if you have 3 tier of wizard and robo monkey you'll grind much faster but you need 2 super monkey and 5 or 6 wizard you can fnsh it
idk why but in my game i have to research a lot of things to be able to send bloon attacks every time like i sent only 2 times and it wants me to research the ceramicbloon thingy is that a bug or am i missing something?
It's because you leveled up quickly, the same thing happened to me for awhile actually! Even at the end of this video, I couldn't send them anymore because I had to research the MOAB technology. I think the game just wants to make sure your attacks are strong enough to compete with players that are a similar level
You actually don't have to play on Mobile at all! In fact, you can play on the Steam Version and all the Premium Upgrades will cost Monkey Money instead of costing real money!
Idk how much you progressed in the past 2 months since uploading this but I have 1 major piece of advice for you and everyone else that's either new or around level 30 and still ha a ways to go before maxing out stuff / obtaining achievements. but the best piece of advice I can share is just don't rush too much. I did this in the past, I see players do it all the time.
Lay the foundation for your future.
step 1. make sure you have the required buildings for MvM. I don't think the game tells you until it's too late so here:
City level 10 requires fast bloons researched to send attacks
12 needs thermal researched
14 needs lead
15 is regrow
16 is camo
17 is rainbow
18 is ceramic
now you have more levels to not rush, 22 is moab
28 is BFB
34 is ZOMG.
you have access to most of this stuff before the level that requires it. if you purposely don't level up then build and research these, you can never be locked out of sending attacks due to this. same thing applies to tower upgrades.
Just take a day or 3 not capturing tiles or rushing upgrades that aren't useful to lower XP gain, make sure you have your banks full from CT / banana farm city cash so that you can overflow from other sources.
It may seem counterproductive at first, but trust me. If you rush everything you will have no time or money for anything. You will constantly be grinding city cash for something just to buy it and be back at 0 cash, and it will take many hours and many days of waiting. Days you are FORCED to wait, whereas you can CHOOSE to wait in the beginning then never be forced to wait for money again, only research.
I'm not saying you have to minmax, but if you just simply accumulate money early, or at least focus on great upgrades such as triple dart (level 10), tier 3 ice, glue (hose), tier 3 dartling (hyrda rocket pods, level 15) you'll be able to start capturing more tiles, harder tiles, easier, faster, and without as much frustration.
for example if you're level 12, you can afford amazing tier 3s without even overflowing your bank capacity, then move on to higher city levels with those amazing T3s, have money saved up and you can capture more tiles.
Your monkey towers and their upgrades and popping power are more valuable than city cash and starting lives, or some new building that wont help and costs more than you can afford
Having to stay put, not expand your city via tiles and managing your entire city as is with just your Farms and patience is such a commendable move that requires tons of willpower...
it's cool how a few MOAB maulers are all you need to carry yourself on any MOAB - ZOMG tile
True in btdb1 idk why but they take forever to pop and im guessing is that there's no bloon sabo knowledge to make it weaker
Some things I want to say so I can have an excuse to be geeky and share the useless knowledge I gather from games I put a lot of time in:
- Engineers are a lot better than farms for gaining cash in BMC.

Cripple Moab would also be a good investment too since snipers are very useful for late game, especially when you take advantage of Cripple Moab's mechanic. Snipers on strong should be used anyway just for maximum Moab popping power. You should also get the bloon chipper for obvious reasons.

This' what leads to the surprise of seeing someone else capturing the tile. As for contested territory not saving your record, I think that also might have to do with the visual glitch.
- While temples are the go-to for late game, some good runner ups are bloon chippers (which are needed anyway), spectre, ice shards, and viscous little missiles (aka, the rocket pods. I really like its description). If you play on certain maps like Clover, putting a bunch of moab shredders specifically at the end of the track is perfect for late game.
Okay, me done. Back to BTD5 grinding to unlock mastery (again...)
Skill issue
Glad to know engi's still busted lol, always been one of my favorite towers since I was a kid playing btd battles and not even having enough medallions to actually level him up lol.

Dang bro. Thanks, man! I learned alot
@brandonh.1812 Wait does that happen on the mobile version? I guess that would explain why sometimes I'll be able to easily get pretty far on my first run but then struggle to even make it back to 15 again after the reset.

I'm glad you enjoyed! I only started playing it about 3 months ago myself
Really been enjoying this content. BTD6 is the only Bloons game I play anymore but I've been a fan of the series since the OG Bloons. I had BMC on my phone for a while and really enjoyed this game.

Thank you for the BMC content, not alot out there these days. I have no more volcano tiles to capture
I'm just getting started with the hardest tiles myself and I wanna make a video centered around them tbh
After somehow getting through early game spamming top path bloonchippers couple sun avatars or as much ninjas as possible uner a village with couple glue hose can take you to r60 easily, banana research facilities also important and if farms banned, definitely go for engineer traps otherwise you gona lack tonnes of money in the lategame and traps are op
another banger from my favorite retro btd youtuber. Its been so fun seeing you grow over the past few months in a great lil neiche
I remember you being the first person who really started commenting on my BTD videos, it's awesome you're still watching and I'm really glad you've been able to see the channel grow as well!
You are the best RUclipsr I've seen in a long time you have nice topics and you dont say bad words thankyou for these awesome videos
Wow man thank you so much for the kind words! I don't use curse words because I honestly think it's a cheap way for people to express emotion when better options are available, and I'm really glad to know people appreciate it!
Good work, I'd definitely recommend investing in the Monkey Intelligence Bureau upgrade for the village in order to let your Arctic Wind pop Ice/Zebras and your Moab Maulers pop Lead/DDTs (are DDTs even in this version of BMC? i know they were in flash)
I don't think DDTs are in Contested Territory but I'm pretty sure their are certain tiles where you have to face them
Huge tips here that got me to round 90~ at level 21:
Don't underestimate dartling gunners, the 2-3 dartling is cheap but the 2-4 dartling is even more worth it, tripling the attack output and adding an ability that destroys most ceramics that escape from the MOAB-class bloons.
GET THE LEVEL 2 FARMS. It doubles the money output AND the max capacity. Coming back to the game with 2x more city cash than you would've made with level 1 farms can increase wealth exponentially faster.
Monkey Town is worth it, due to ramping where cash drops from 1 per bloon to 0.02 per bloon. The 50% increase in cash per pop DOESN'T mean it only increases from 0.02 to 0.03, it means increasing to 0.52 per bloon, which can very quickly make banana farms less viable. Also, using Monkey Town with Bloon Trap is a very good idea. (From what ive seen/tried it can generate 400k per 10-12 rounds.)
Edit: round 90 has about 100 zomgs (from what I saw lol) which was extremely painful. 2-4 dartlings carried.
Thanks for the advice! The Monkey Town tip is honestly insane as well, if that also works in BTD5 I bet it really could make a huge difference for some other challenges
thank you so much for the dartling gunner tip, literally would not be able to pass contested territory without it
@@tgtdtmaa all good man, hope you can get as far as I did.
@@RigmondTheRabbit time can only tell, currently the contested territory is an early lategame type
this kind of makes me wonder what the optimal city level for round 100 CT is cause lower levels cohorts have easier CT rounds.
Hypothetically if you were using hacks to be in a level 5 CT at level 40 getting to round 100 should be easier and faster than if you were in a level 40 CT.
round 90 at level 21 is nice. very impressive. Do you have any special highest rounds at earlier levels like level 12 or 15?
I've been playing MC for almost 2 months and im already at lvl 30
Im just grinding out the game trying to get 100% achievements
100% is gonna be quite a grind for real man, good luck getting there!
I'm doing this f2p too
honestly the most simple way to get OP would be the isab plane. just spaming it together with vilage reaches way over round 40. the only problem is lag
Silly Phenomix...you're already overpowered !!
I stick to the flash version because it's way harder imo, but bloon traps on this version specifically carried me INCREDIBLY hard in regular levels, and CT. Also bloonjitsu is my fav upgrade of all time in this game so I recommend that too
I didn't know the Flash Version was still playable honestly that's really cool!
Dude how do you play on the flash version ? please I need to know. I have played it so much but then I was just forced to drop with it not working anymore
@@speedwaifuthetrueandonlybe2744 Ninja Kiwi archive
3:30 2 whole days is insane
5 day long upgrade: 👀
Honestly the increase time to upgrade and build things has essentially forced me to think harder about what to prioritize and I’ve been enjoying it
It's definitely a big part of the game!
Yes but you need to overindulge in capitalism
When you reach like city level 36+, you end up with no one fighting in contested territory, so its free. Also, you should rush bloontrap. Its an INSANELY great farm!
Thanks for the tip! And that's good to know, maybe I can make a future video called "Becoming UNcontested In Contested Territory"
@@Phenomix fyi if you were wondering why bloontrap is insane, its because it both defends & makes money but it also ignores cash reduction. 4 ceramics in a bloontrap is ALWAYS 500$. No matter if you're on R100, or R1.
@snowdrop9810 monkey town upgrade on village also multiplies the cash earned from bloontrap making it eben better. I'm getting around $1500 from a trap
Monkey fort super makes the super monkey incredible against grouped bloons
Its actually insane that bmc will send a ZOMG as early as round 16
BTD5's zomg get send at round 80
Somebody in the comments was saying it's actually a glitch that happens when you play a Boss Event before entering Contested Territory. I'll have to check that out and see sometime
Yeah, that could be, but I played a volcano map on the game and died at round 22 since ZOMG spawned so early this is before I had bloon traps or good farms
Bloons monkey city :D i honestly really like this video, especially the contested territory gameplay. You should make more mnkey city content (if you can’t find something to make content on.) like the boss events or something
I'm definitely gonna do more BMC content soon, probably gonna try building a huge city next
@@Phenomix that would be cool to see!
MIB village with ice monkeys is a great combo to make sure you don’t die to zebras and white bloons
Yeah I should've gone for the MIB during this challenge, the only thing is that it can be a little expensive when you don't have access to banana farms, but I certainly wasn't thinking about other farms like Bloon Trap and Sniper Farms, so that would've helped me afford the MIB and Ice Monkeys for sure.
You forgot about ice monkeys can't hit moabs
Also arctic wind and MIB beats everything
i play this game a lot and since youre struggling with cash, you should upgrade your banana farms. also, you will face the exact same contested territory lobbies as a level 21 22 23 and 24, it only changes every 4 levels.
I learned the thing about levels that hard way haha. Now I realize as a level 23 I can face level 20's which makes me even more overpowered
Since it seems RUclips doesn't show you notifications for mentions, but it does for comments, I'll answer you here (or at least it looks like, you always repsond to comments but never to responses)
BRF is Banana Research Facility, and the glitch is that, when banana farms get upgraded mid round, they don't update and produce the same amount until the round ends, so upgrading a BRF when a round started will make all Banana republic bananas, but a crates.
For Sacred Grounds look in your city for a broken temple, it has 10 hard rounds and only allows for wizards and super monkeys, and you need it to build Temple Complex
And when are you streaming again? Monkey City is an amazing streaming content.
The BTD5 banana farm exploit also works in BMC?
I'll probably start streaming every Wednesday, and thank you for all the advice! I'm not sure why youtube wouldn't allow you to reply with your original thoughts
@@Supersonic6427 Exactly
@@genio2509 interesting. That exploit doesn't work in BTDB, so it's surprising to hear it works there. Might as well try it to confirm myself
Hey man, love you vids. Btw i was Ziyo on that one ( 12:45 ), i was struggling at that time more on moab power than the bloon power itself, so i got stuck on round 34
That's so cool that I actually got to compete with at least one person who watched the video! And yeah that makes total sense, I'm still lacking MOAB popping power to an extent myself.
I'd have loved to watch this live had you streamed it. That stream was so much fun!
Also, some more pro tips:
You did well with the jitsu start, you just should have used a wizard instead of glue and put the ninja in range of the exit. And it works in all land biomes.
Once you have it, Sacred Grounds (the broken temple) in freeplay is the best way to farm, just get all sun gods and you get 5k super quickly
And also, in this game the BRF quick upgrade is a thing
Thanks for the advice! I haven't really heard of Sacred Grounds or the BRF upgrade (unless I'm missing something obvious)
@@Phenomix BRF is Banana Research Facility. If you don't know the glitch, it is that when you upgrade a banana farm mid round, the amount doesn't adapt and gives the same amount as the last upgrade. For some reason, BRF gives the same amount of bananas as Banana Republic, but as crates, so it is a huge increase, the best is to upgrade as soon as a round starts.
And for Sacred Grounds look for a broken temple outside your city, it is a hard tile that only allows wizards and super monkeys. You need it to build Temple Complex.
And when are you streaming again?
@@Phenomix No way, my comment got deleted.

best clash of clans game.
Fun relaxing and less upgrade times.
Has lots of secrets
Never been a fan of this game but very entertaining video nonetheless!
Thank you so much, that means even more if you don't normally enjoy the game tbh
Specter is a really easy unlock city-wise and is incredibly powerful. You can often solo a ZOMG with a specter(at least with jungle drums) and they aren't very limited by pierce. Whenever I start a new account, it's my go-to for a 4th tier to push unlock.
That's really good to know, thank you for telling me! A few other people have said the same thing so I'm definitely gonna have to unlock it next
Hey man, If you want to be incredibly overpowered get the hydra rocket pods for the dartling gunners, there is a bug where the rockets apparently pierce through targets, basically making any level a cakewalk, and a 2-2 dartlng gunner can survive a surprising amount of rounds on it's own, just place the darling gunner so it hits a long part of the track, (preferably straight lines), and you'll be set.
I just finished getting the hydra rocket pods today actually, thanks for letting me know about that glitch!
@@Phenomix Your welcome, HRP are the best way to deal with clusters of bloons, regrows, and Ceramics. it isnt as good against blimps (unless multiple) the best options for dealing damage is destroyer, triple dart, double shot, (or ninjitsu if you have it) destroyer is the best and most effective for the price, but some maps dont have water, if they dont just spam triple dart and ninjitsu
Get a 3-3 Wizard, and 3-3 Super upgrade. Very useful for Consecrated Ground where you can infinitely grind 5000 City Cash per 2.5 mins.
this sounds like a bot comment thesaurusing lol. Consecrated ground?
Finally a good video to watch
I'm really glad you think so!
Thank you and i have a problem a and it's the same as you some people in contested territory that went to round 56
How do you get stronger in bloons monkey city
Congrats on getting overpowered
Aye thanks g
@@Phenomixupgrade your city banana farm. You can do that by tapping twice. The first time will collect current cash and the second open the upgrade menu. It makes them make more cash with increased capacity. After doing this your economy will thrive.
yes, yes you can
edit: try to beat most maps with 2 flash bombs Ninjas and spam Bloonjitsus
Long time BMC player here, I definitely have some recommendations regarding the strat for CC
1. 4-0 engi is extremely busted in term of cash generation. You won’t even need farm with this.
2. Before I got the 4-0 super, a strat I used to get very far is using a bunch of 1-3/1-4 spike factories close to a 2-3 ice and 3-2 in range of a 2-3 village. You only need to pop one zomg and the whole thing will just chain react cuz of the 2-3 ice. Warning: Huge lag.
Of course this won’t work on Jungle or Volcano terrain, but otherwise you should be able to dominate for right now.
3. People have mentioned that x-3/x-4 dartling is op so I won’t say much else.
Thank you so much for the advice! I definitely overlooked the Bloon Trap as a source of cash generation, and I do have the Hydra Rocket Pods unlocking as I type this, so I think a follow-up video is in order soon!
if you build and upgrade a banana farm to a banana republic, start a round and upgrade into a factory after the round starts it will produce a banana republics amount of crates, ie 13 crates.
then when the round ends sell the factory, upgrade to a republic, start round, upgrade to factory.
on a map I just played (can't remember how prices or anything differs as this is my first time picking up the game in years) and once you factor in the money lost from selling and rebuying it was a profit of 4787 cash per round.
to clarify, the 4787 is based on my farms producing 633 a crate. pretty sure this is affected by something somewhere.
I honestly didn't know that trick also works in BMC, the funny thing is that I just used it in BTD5 for my newest video.
I got so far in this game but then i lost all my data because i didnt sign in (because parental controls wouldnt let me) and the game updated and all my progess was gone
You can't be op in bmc I'm lv 32 and I have 492 tiles captured and keep losing
DUDE IM BIG MONEY IM NOT LYING 😭😭 ur awesome!!
I can’t think of a better way to make people think you’re lying than by saying “IM NOT LYING” in all caps. (Can confirm he’s big money tho I’m his brother)

God I hope Bloons Monkey City is remade for BTD6 style content.
That would be amazing fr
i mean we got that for bloons td battles so we gotta get it for bloons monkey city
when the game froze i thought my internet was broke
I remember i used to kinda sweat this game lmao
using a mix or 4/1 and 4/0 snipers to stagger the stun (some on strong, some on last), 4/2 bloonchippers, a 3/2 and 2/3 ice under a 2/3 village and you can defend well beyond round 50
though lag becomes the main issue due to ice shards' exponential popping power
Thank you for letting me know a good strategy! I know the Sniper Trick from when I played BTD Battles for a bit and I definitely didn't utilize all the towers I should've when making this video
Ok I been on and off playing BMC for the past decade and wanted to offer some advice:
The issue of the round 17 ZOMG in CT is that CT was ""cursed". Lss if you do a beacon/boss then enter the CT the bloons waves get cartoonish hard, ie level 17 ZOMGs, this is a will known glitch. To fix all you need to is take a non beacon tile, or you or your "my tiles" I picked the bloonprint only cause by far fastest.
Now the real key to being OP in the 20s with CT is monkey ace, the 4/2 ace is broken, two in range of a 2/1 village is more then enough to tank most maps into the 40s 3 or 4 should take you into the 50s. And IMO yes this is worth buying vie bloonstones.
Another tower you are going to want to upgrade soon is the snipers, 0/4 snipers are the key to sniper farming, and since sniper can be used on every map in the game there how you make even more that farms money in the non farming tiles.
This is more just my play style but I like a well placed 0/2 mortar and 4/2 ninja as my main attack line, until i can buy ace/bomb/etc I also use 0/0 factories as a leak guard.
One other thing on water tiles, boats are OP the it depend on the map ofc but the 0/2 boat is on of the best popping power to price tower in the game and at 3/2 is on par with a 0/1 supers nay better because of the grape shot.
Thank you so much for all your advice, it really goes a long way to learn from more experienced players. Someone else told me the round 17 ZOMG was something called "ZOMG Push" that's the same as MOAB Push but I didn't realize it was just a glitch. I was wondering because it felt like none of the other players were being affected whereas I was.
I am facing the same issue. I play on both pc and phone. On pc it's level 17 ZOMG but on my phone it's normal.
What you said did not work. there is till cursed contested territory
@@sarim742 Sorry I should of explained better once you enter CT the rounds are locked there is not way to "uncurse" my advice was to prevent the curse from happening to begin with. Also I wish I could offer advise on how to get far on the current map but without, aces, heli, or dartlings there is no real silver bullets for a cursed monkey's tail save ofc temples.
I was going to say it feels weird to see the t4 bloonjustu take barely more time to unlock than a t3 like glaive ricochet or canon ship, but I guess the time's probably just loaded more into the associated building required.
(I'm only level 17 so this is the first time I'm seeing a t4 in this game lol)
I think that makes the Bloonjitsu a really good early investment, but it definitely is weird that the cannon ship takes nearly as long considering it isn't all that valuable of a 3rd tier upgrade. It isn't like the Sun God which you'd expect to take longer than some T4's
@@Phenomix Yeah, I'm glad that they ended up buffing the cannon ship in btd6. It's such a cool upgrade in theory, but it's just so not worth it unless you're going straight for pirate ship for bfbs in the older games when for like 400 more you can instead go for the destroyer for like over double the dps and only sacrificing lead popping.
That event is the exact same way how I got the sun god upgrade too lol.
It's definitely the best way if you aren't like level 25+
@@Phenomix I agree, but isn't it a random event like the others? So it's not guaranteed for you...
i think you overlooked bloonchipper and its moab sucking 4-x upgrade
Playing this game after playing btd6 is like having cheat codes enabled
I have already 90% of upgrades . I don't have 0-4 supermonkey , 0-4 heli pilot , 4-0 dartling gunner , 4-0 banana farm , 0-4 ace , 4-0 engineer , 0-4 bloon (I don't remember second word ), 4-0 mortal , 4-0 bomb shooter . I created sun temple by using 6 bank tactic .
It must have taken forever to get that far!

i hit lv 190 and had to delete monkeys just to lose lol over hr one run lol
I didn't know the game let you get to that high of a level, dang bro that's insane
the strat is DARTLING SPAM JESUS CHRIST THAT GETS FAR
True
12k on a dead game wow
Hydra rocket pods carry and are cheap, dartling gunners can pop early leads if you go 1 2 first. 2-3 gunners + a village is usually all you need to get rocket pods early
Thanks for the tip! I just unlocked that upgrade recently so I'll definitely have to test it out
Please make this a series
Sounds like a plan! I have a couple videos planned in the meantime, but I definitely wanna make a sequel where I try to become more powerful, and maybe another one where I even try to build a massive city and organize everything
@@Phenomix Ramaf Party (creator of BTDX) linked your latest video on his community page and I gotta say I really like your content! Thanks for giving me videos I can watch during lunch :)

I might get now bomb shooters and then a village for camo and buff
Triple dart is definitely one of the best upgrades to get early on, hope your BMC journey keeps going well

is that a bug or am i missing something?
It's because you leveled up quickly, the same thing happened to me for awhile actually! Even at the end of this video, I couldn't send them anymore because I had to research the MOAB technology.
