=='''Objectives'''==
You must complete all available objectives to beat a level, sometimes in a specific order.
Active enemies refer to revealed enemies in the underground area. Nearby enemies refer to all underground enemies if no specific number is mentioned.
You only need to keep the queen alive until the time limit if the objective is surviving a certain amount of time. You must eliminate all active wave enemies if the objective is surviving attacking waves.
Enemies can be eliminated by different methods. You sometimes don't need to do it yourself and can rely on mutual enemies or environmental hazards.
The game will keep track of the original resources if the objectives require gathering from specific resources. Gathering your own refunds or enemy leftovers usually doesn't count.

  • Preparing periods and intervals of attacking waves is shorter.

You can't save in the middle of any levels.


Achievements

You can earn achievements by completing extra objectives before beating the respective level on the designated or higher difficulty. Only story levels and holiday levels have achievements.
