Baldies
How to Quickly Complete a Level
When the game starts you usually have a ten to twenty Baldies wandering aimlessly around.
HereÆs how to quickly turn them into a winning force.
Build A Stage 2 House
1. Change all your Baldies into builders (the blue Baldy icon). 2. Find a large, clear
area and plant a flag. Make sure there is lots of room and than no trees, rocks, or
other land features will block the growth of the house.
3. After the Baldies build a stage 1 house fill it with ten builders. Go inside the
house and make sure they are building a red house.
4. Wait until the house expands to a stage 2 house.
Breed the Baldies, Expand the House
1. Move any Baldies outside the house inside.
2. Go inside the house and move all but two of the builder Baldies (blue) to the breeding
room (red).
3. After a little while extra Baldies will be pushed out of the house. Wait for ten to
be pushed out.
4. Go inside the house and change all the Baldies back into builders. 5. Wait for the
house to upgrade to stage 3.
5. Move any Baldies outside the house inside and change all but four of the builders
into breeders. This will maximize the breeding rate for the house.
Angle Wings and the Shovel
1. Wait until twenty Baldies have been pushed out of the house.
2. Change all the Baldies outside the house to builders.
3. Build three stage 1 houses, placing one builder in each house. Make sure to leave
enough room around the houses to expand them later. Keep changing any Baldies pushed
out of the stage 3 house to builders.
4. Once you have all three stage 1 houses built change all the Baldies outside the
houses into Workers (red). Once the red energy bar has filled about one third of the
way the Shovel and Angle Wings will appear. Use the Shovel to expand the land around
your houses as needed to give them room to grow.
Build Your Village
1. Fill all the stage 1 houses with Baldies. Make sure one Baldy in each is a builder
and all others are breeders.
2. Upgrade the houses one at a time. Make sure you set all Baldies in the house to Builders
while expanding the house. As the house expands move more Baldies inside to keep the
house full. You can use the Angel Wings to fly several Baldies into the house.
3. Upgrade the first house to a stage 3 Barracks (brown), the next to a stage 2 Science
Lab (white), and the last to a stage 5 house (red) with a Helipad (if possible).
4. Once each house is completed transfer extra builders in the house to the breeding
room to keep the flow of new Baldies at maximum.
Arm for Battle
1. Go inside the Barracks and change all the breeders into soldiers. They will start
producing bullets and grenades.
2. If the enemy is getting close to your village change your Baldies near the border
into soldiers.
3. Change any extra Baldies outside the houses into scientists (white).
4. Go inside the Science Lab and change all the breeders into scientists.
5. As quickly as possible have your scientists create a stage 3 land mine.
Attack!
You can attack by capturing or destroying the enemy buildings. There are two ways to
destroy enemy buildings. To destroy a building with mines do the following:
1. Drop stage 3 land mines next to all the enemy buildings. Place them next to two or
more buildings whenever possible.
2. Detonate the mines by dropping animals or Baldies on them. Each mine will kill up
to twenty Harries in each house. When the Harries have all been killed the house will
be destroyed.
To have your soldier destroy the house:
1. Drop a rock in front of the door to the enemy house. This keeps the Harries inside,
and keeps your Baldies outside.
2. Place your shield icon on the enemy house.
3. Change all Baldies outside a house into soldiers.
4. Using the Angel Wings fly your Baldies near the enemy house. They will use grenades
to blow up the house.
To capture the houses do the following:
1. Change all Baldies outside houses into soldiers. 2. Using the Angel Wings land
your Baldies on top of the enemy house. They will go inside and drag the Harries out.
3. Once all the Harries have been removed from the house it will be captured. Go
inside and change enough of the Baldies into builders to keep the house maintained.
Change any extra Baldies in the house to breeders, soldiers, or scientists, depending
on what type of house it is.
As you attack the Harries keep you may want to check on your Science Lab and have the
scientists create more inventions. Drop animals on the Science Lab to enable more
inventions. Once you have captured or destroyed all the enemy houses change all Baldies
outside into soldiers. Move your shield near any Harries wandering around to get your
soldiers to attack them. Once all the Harries are dead you will advance to the next level.
Other Tips and Tricks
Skunks and Popperfields
The Skunk and Popperfield inventions can be used to quickly kill Harries inside a
house. Place one or more Popperfields in front of the enemy house, then drop a skunk
on the house. The Harries will run out and explode.
Rain and Electro
When you place the Electro invention start a rainstorm. If itÆs raining when the
Electro is activated it will kill lots more Harries.
The Helicopter
The helicopter will chop up any flying Harries (or Baldies). Use it to stop enemy
scientists flying in to drop inventions. If you have enough Soldiers in your barracks
you can also drop bombs on the enemy. The computer player doesnÆt try to destroy the
helicopter very often, so it makes a great weapon.
Keeping Inventions after a Level
Any inventions that you have built up to stage 3 will be kept for the next level.
They will be back at stage 1 when the next level starts.
Secret Warps
On some levels large rocks will be covering special warps that will let you skip
several levels. To uncover the warp blow up the rock with a stage 3 land mine. Any
Baldies that walk (or are dropped) into the warp will be added to the Baldies you
start the next level with.
Piranha
To get piranha drop a skunk into the water. Make sure you drop one piranha on your
science lab, but feed the rest to the Harries to kill them. Set the game speed to
the slowest setting to make this easier. Piranha can be especially useful at the beginning
of a level when there arenÆt very many Harries.
Keep the Enemy from Expanding
If the Harries are expanding too quickly you can dig up the land around their houses to
slow them down (on later levels the computer will use this same tactic against you).
You can also place a minefield or Popperfield just above the house -- it will take a
long time for the enemy to clear it away.
Hidden Levels
To reach the hidden levels start playing on level four or higher. Set the game speed
to the slowest setting. Drop a sheep in the water, then drop ten dolphins on your Science
Lab. Complete the current level. Levels 1 and 2 should now be replaced with the
hidden levels.
