    Seems can not start a new mission while the previous mission is still saved? I just want to play with the easy difficulty and the hard at the same time...

    For E5, Nailed, in general:

    1) Build plenty of lasers at 1 space away from path. Always shoot creeps from the back, not from front.

    2) Similar for splash, use them (upgraded) at 1 space away.

    The last wave is tough, so make sure you have enough splash towers!

    For Vulcan (even on hard)

    1) there are 2 hills at your right. Place a long range one on the upper one, and a splash on the lower one (If I rem correctly).

    2) Continue building at:
    a) Splash Towers at lower hill
    b) Splash Towers at right most junction/crossroads.

    3) Surround the entire crossroad area with splash towers.

    4) Laser at lone top hill on your left at the ending stages helps as well.

    The splash towerS on top of the hill is your key to survival.

    Good Luck!

    E4 Vulcan

    ----------------------------- E4 Vulcan -------------------------------
    This is a tedious map and if you do it step by step you should have no losses.

    **This is on easy mode to give you an understanding of how to beat it on Norm and Hard**
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1) http://oi53.tinypic.com/t5sso5.jpg
    before the game starts place a focus tower in the back raised hill.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2) http://oi52.tinypic.com/28wfjvk.jpg
    and two cannon towers on the top hill of the lower bottom. when you start you will notice for the first few rounds the focus tower is going to give you a break in the time to get some gems. with the two cannon towers start clearing the area around it. and with the first 110 gems, pause and upgrade the first tower once.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3) http://oi54.tinypic.com/mubqj8.jpg
    Like this!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4) http://oi55.tinypic.com/2zdr343.jpg
    by the start of the 5th round you should now upgrade the second cannon tower. and the majority of the trees around the towers should be cleared.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5) http://oi55.tinypic.com/swp769.jpg
    start of the 7th build a long range on top the hill towards the top of the map. from here to the 11th round start clearing the trees around the long tower and upgrade it once.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    6) http://oi51.tinypic.com/2hozj7o.jpg
    at the beginning of the 11th round , this is where we go to work. start with the top tree while the towers rake care of the rest.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    7) http://oi53.tinypic.com/2u5gzrs.jpg
    at the start of the 12th you should have around 400 gems,pause and build two splash towers just like this, and start working on the bottom BIG tree
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8) http://oi56.tinypic.com/348g7y1.jpg
    at the start of the 15th with the last BIG tree gone, build two more splash towers and upgrade the last cannon tower on the top hill to the max. start the game and start clearing all the trees around the focus tower while the cannons go to work.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    9) http://oi54.tinypic.com/mh3xix.jpg
    during the 19th pause and upgrade once two of splash towers closer to the right. like this. with the focus clear all remaining trees within its range.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    10) http://oi51.tinypic.com/2rhvds8.jpg
    at the start of wave 23 pause the game and upgrade the other two splash towers. *side note* you will notice we went from 19 to 23, I do that because in between you should run the waves with the firepower you have. after upgrading, make 2 cannon towers, 1 at a time on top of the bottom hill.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    11) http://oi56.tinypic.com/2z5isl0.jpg
    at the start of 24, pause and start making 2 more cannon towers on the top opposite hill.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    12) http://oi53.tinypic.com/2lw9ncl.jpg
    at the start of 26 upgrade all the cannon towers on the ridge starting from the bottom to the top once.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    13) http://oi54.tinypic.com/16lmsuc.jpg
    at the start of 30 add 2 more splash towers down the road. from here on out pausing the game is crucial when adding or upgrading. keep an eye on the directions.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    14) http://oi51.tinypic.com/2d7yr2w.jpg
    at the start of 32 pause and upgrade the remaining cannon towers to the max, starting with the bottom, you should be able to do 3 with the last one on top coming from waves 32-34 upgrade it. at the start or during the time from 32-34 upgrade the long tower also. clear the reaming trees around it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    15) http://oi51.tinypic.com/2hodztj.jpg
    at the start of 37 upgrade two more splash towers once while making the 7th. plus your ridge should be to the max and just in time as the game is about to get fast...
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    16) http://oi54.tinypic.com/2d9qmut.jpg
    at the beginning of 39 pause and make 2 splash towers in front of the focus tower. you might not have enough to make 2 right away, just pause when you get another 195 gems and build the other across from it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    17) start of 41 upgrade the splash tower in front of the focus tower.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    18) http://oi51.tinypic.com/xp7ibr.jpg
    the start of 47 you should have between 900-1000 gems if you had let it run from 41 on to make some gems. upgrade 4 of the main splash towers as in the picture to the max, the 4th will be during the 47-51 just pause and upgrade as soon as you get the gems.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    19) FROM 47-52 ADD 4 MORE SPLASH TOWERS DOWN THE ROW FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. PAUSE THE GAME EVERY 195 GEMS AND MAKE ONE. THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU PAUSE OR THEY WILL COME BY TOO FAST.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    20) http://oi52.tinypic.com/2dipovp.jpg
    pause the start of 52 and upgrade once the splash in front of the focus. your game should look like this, hopefully with all your lives left.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    21) http://oi56.tinypic.com/e9i61e.jpg
    at the start of 55 pause and start upgrade the remaining towers to the second tier.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    22) this is where the game starts getting tedious. at lvl 57 - 58 start making splash towers down the road. you should have a few spots left. pause the game every 195 gems and make one, then un-pause and pause again after another 195 gems. keep doing this, dont lets the gems pile up.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    23) lvl 59 pause and upgrade your last few you just made to the second tier. again, pausing upgrade, un-pause collect gems, and pause.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    24) http://oi55.tinypic.com/24ax5s9.jpg
    from 59 - 65 you need to upgrade every single remaining splash tower. to the max and your game should look like this. slowly, upgrade, pause, upgrade, collect, pause and upgrade. this is very important. final wave is now easy.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Game Over. have fun E5 Nailed coming up!

    ********************************E5 Nailed********************************

    This is one of the easy maps in the game. I'm not sure if it's a glitch, but the maps nickname is invincible mushroom ... lol you will see.

    **This is on easy mode to give you an understanding of how to beat it on Norm and Hard**
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1) http://oi56.tinypic.com/23ifbsj.jpg
    This is the tower selection you want to have
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2) http://oi55.tinypic.com/20p65c3.jpg
    were going to start out building 2 towers before the game starts. a fire tower and a long shooter. the FT goes where you see it on the screen shot , and its upgraded once, then directly under it place the long shooter.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3) http://oi54.tinypic.com/am72gh.jpg
    remember to pause and upgrade the long shooter to the max as fast as possible
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4) http://oi52.tinypic.com/hrngau.jpg
    next, at the start of the 5th round place a long shooter in the middle of the surrounding roads. and upgrade that very quickly to the max, this is where one can slip by if your not careful and you dont upgrade at the moment its available. for me, I just pause when i hit the gems exactly.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5) http://oi53.tinypic.com/33c3hpf.jpg
    Here's one trying to be sneaky and get away... just pause and click on the runaway to make sure none slip past you.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    6) http://oi52.tinypic.com/2a0dwzp.jpg
    now start making two long shooters on both sides (left and right) and upgrading to the max of the first long shooter you put in place.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    7) http://oi55.tinypic.com/1zqc078.jpg
    the towers should look like this. start of wave 10 is critical, now on the bottom mushroom you will see I have placed a Laser tower here, after you build it, I want you to click on the mushroom in front of it as to attack it, the laser wont hit it but will keep it going non stop down the road.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8) http://oi53.tinypic.com/28s08av.jpg
    with that mushroom clicked, make another laser behind it, by this point the gems will start flowing in. were going to make 4 lasers combine into 1 massive ultimate weapon! after the first one is made, start making 4 generators, just as I have placed them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    9) http://oi52.tinypic.com/izrztg.jpg
    now you will see what im trying to do with this pic. make 4 lasers. and dont un-click from the front mushroom.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    10) http://oi51.tinypic.com/ay4mu0.jpg
    so from wave 15-29 you need to upgrade all the lasers to the max, as soon as you get gems you upgrade. this is what it will look like to upgrade all the lasers to the max. now add a few more generators. and fill up the bottom with generators. now this massive laser weapon will be unstoppable until the final boss. just collect from the generators and let the game run until wave 38.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    11) http://oi55.tinypic.com/2mfew6e.jpg
    were going to pause the game at the start of 39. you should have about 4000+ gems. from here build and upgrade to the max 5 flame towers. as you see in the picture. now un pause and let it run until the final boss, keep making and collecting gems from the generators.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    12) http://oi51.tinypic.com/sddwmg.jpg
    ok here we are at the boss stage, now you should have about 4700+ gems
    now were going to build 4 focus towers and upgrade them to the max
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    13) http://oi54.tinypic.com/2rrv4lw.jpg
    with the game paused, place the towers at this place and upgrade at least 3 to the max. but before you start make sure you click on the bottom mushroom for the lasers. and now start the last level.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    14) http://oi54.tinypic.com/qn5the.jpg
    Just like that, easy.

    Game Over. have fun!

    -Andy

    Great advice and help, Andy. Tried it and it works on Easy and Normal. For Hard, you will not have enough cash at the start, so the build is slightly different (I experimented a bit):
    1) 1st, fire on top left,
    2) 2nd, left most lower long range tower at bottom is needed first (among the three), full upgrade
    3) Laser X 4, no upgrades
    4) right most long range tower at bottom, full upgrades
    5) middle long range tower at bottom
    6) Top long range tower (below the fire)
    7) Fire towers on the left

    At the start and between steps 1-3, you need to clear as much mushrooms to get more energy as possible. Please play on 1X speed.

    If you do not have enough cash by the end, you can sell away 1-2 lasers to have the 4 full focus which is a must. Btw I place all my focus together on the left packed together, works as well.

    Again, Thanks to you Andy!:D

    I cant pass slate. Tried putting a laser as my first weapon in the south east corner and by wave 4 or 5 they are getting past me already. Any hints?

    Slate:
    At the bottom hill, build Blaster Tower at your right most, upgrade, then left most build a Long Range Tower for a start.

    In between, build some Splash+Blaster, etc. You need to destroy the "mushrooms" around you to get more energy whenever you can. Then after these add your laser at the corner.

    Never build anything on top until your bottom hill are full. Then you may like some lasers on top too.

    Hope this helps!

    Playing this map on Hard. No Losses.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1) http://oi54.tinypic.com/307lrts.jpg
    Before you start place the two towers in this place you see, upgrading the middle one to the max the other 1 times.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2) http://oi56.tinypic.com/2ueu0ih.jpg
    At the start of round 6 pause and add a flame thrower here.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3) http://oi53.tinypic.com/2zznhck.jpg
    At the start of round 9 pause and add two smash towers shown here.
    make sure from here on you do the game on 1x speed, important to flame the monsters you need to click on to kill.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4) http://oi55.tinypic.com/343jhvk.jpg
    At the start of 12 upgrade your flame tower before you start.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5) http://oi55.tinypic.com/14idfa0.jpg
    At the start of 13 add a focus tower here.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    6) http://oi53.tinypic.com/ruso5x.jpg
    during 13 upgrade your flame tower to the max
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    7) http://oi51.tinypic.com/25atgqs.jpg
    The MOST crucial lvl , at the start of 15 pause and build a focus tower here. read on before starting.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8) http://oi55.tinypic.com/2z6blo3.jpg
    Half way through the 15th turn on your gravity booster. and turn it upside down so they cant walk up, you can keep it at an angle also. if you do this right, none will pass the threshold.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    9) http://oi52.tinypic.com/wh19nn.jpg
    at the start of 16 build another focus tower and one more flame thrower and thats should do it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    10) http://oi51.tinypic.com/4zx2x4.jpg
