Brief Achievement Guide VS A.I.

By Myslovitz

Hello there,

The reason you are here is that you probably want to get 100% achievement on Tooth and Tail. Part of which requieres you to either play ranked games OR vs A.l. (which includes playing 2vs1)

If you are person like me, you dont have much time to play at least 100 ranked games AND win them (xd!). So i found exploit and simple strategy how to beat every 2vs1 A.I. achievment there is.

2. Execution

So here is strategy, we are going full turtle mode and since there are only 6 Gristmill on this map we are waiting untill enemy A.l. will run out of unites and food and then, counterattack.

As you can already see u have second Gristmill right on start on favourable position, but before you take your second grimstill u need to place few bullet hives there and after taking controll Gristmill you need to establish stronghold:

Here is your "go to" setup on 2 bases

Click on image to make it bigger
With color red i marked position where your Bullet hives should be.
With color blue where your Wires should be.

once you established stronghold, recruit small army consisting: one owl and few hawks. With this army u will finish off starving A.l.s base.

Try it few times, you should get with second try. Let me know how it all went.

3. Achievment: Deadbones

Whole strategy is based about cheesing at the start with moles. The thing with ruthless CPU is that they start with more farms than you do at the start, so you cannot win in standard skirmish under 5 minutes with out cheesing.

So at the start the game with a lot of early game unites (including moles) and for example lizards, pigeons and snakes. Dont build farm at the start, instead search for enemy and build mole warrens and harass their economy early on, and destroy their warrans if they are building any.

But dont forget to build up your economy and army too. Moles are only to (sort off) even the chances a little bit. Im pretty sure that with few tries you can do this with out any problem.

I recommend watching this YouTube video. This may be helpfull with execution.

It took me a while to get the Fury of the Feast achievement while following this guide.
What I learned is to make good use of various defenses.
I figured what I did wrong was that I kept on using bullet hives, feather wires, and Tremormines (the mines in my opinion are kind of useless). So, whenever the bots would tech up towards tier 2s my defenses would get destroyed very easily (damn those ferrets).
To counter this, I would use balloons for better range and vision, as well as using the Drumfire Cannon (in my opinion, you only need one as it has a high range that can protect the 2 entry points the enemies can go through).
I also followed the tips the user below me gave, it's very helpful. All you need to do is take the gristmill as soon as you start the game, and turtle up until the bots are unable to break your defense, then you finish them off with whatever mobile units you have on your army.

Thanks for the guide. For the 2v1, I needed about a dozen attempts and only narrowly survived on the given seed. Maybe things changed with recent patches but it was extremely hard.
You have to rush to get the second gristmill immediately (with your first 60 food), since you will never have a chance to claim it again once you start getting attacked.
You have a narrow window to get 1-3 hives set up before 1st wave, and setting them on the ramp first is essential, as they'll get free hits in while some enemies focus the gristmill.
Then you have to build a few hives and two fences to the south just in case, a farm or two to accelerate funds, and then start amassing hives at the north ramp. And hoping that they won't send a large army south. And if you ever lose more than a few buildings you won't catch up again unless the enemy is almost starved by then.

The Deadbones rush was super easy thanks to Puff Ball's seed and tactic. Apparently achievements only unlock at Army Size 6 !!

if anyone is still sorta suffering with Deadbones in the day and age of 2024, use 1186736454 as your map and just rely on red squirrels and moles to rush.

you'll wanna place the squirrels in the mill zone across from the enemy spawn, and you can take pot-shots for free against any spawning spots they set up (so long as they don't spawn anything before they die). after you kill off most of their early stuff with at least 9 squirrels, set down moles so they can take out the enemy main mill and any spawners/defenses they have set up. was fairly nice for me, cause they had lizards and doves as their cheap guys (and I drained them of meat by destroying whatever they put down).

It's the opposite for me. I had gotten lucky with a deadbones attempt and got that out of the way with two mole warrens (might vary) though the execution of the turtling is taking some getting used to, at least to a point where I might be able to make a comeback. Ferrets have also been a bad roll as they outrange hives.

Thanks a ton for this guide. It got me through all these achievements very reliably. The Deadbones one was the hardest but after a lot of tries and re-tries I got it.
