RE: Maniac reaches wave 1350 in The Tower
I give up on Chilled Cavern.
There are two problems with that map, and they have nothing to do with goblin sappers.
1. Assuming you don't use the barricade exploit, the left side facing the bat spawn does not have enough real estate between the nearest rift and the forward orc spawn point. In co-op, the partner trying to defend this side will lose control no matter how many traps, guardians, or magic trinkets he has. It is simply not possible to fight off the massive number of heavies. You could have limitless money and put all the traps you want in there, and it would do no good because there's not enough distance or time to kill everything.
2. If you do use the barricade exploit, everything depends on a single barricade about 6-8 feet away from the forward spawn. Kobold sappers will take this out and there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't replace it exactly right, you lose. Not replacing it exactly right is almost a certainty because you're trying to do it in the midst of all the heavies.
