Battle Basicz:
This article explainz the way I go about playing a battle.
First conserve all the gruntz you can and gather them nearest the areaz where the most enemiez usally go to (they have a very predictable pattern of pathz). Build a front line of shovelz and gauntletz. Now the absolute most dangerous enemiez you can face are gruntz armed with explosivez and ranged toolz.
Be sure to pick up any powerupz along the way. To use them:
A very classical strategy is to send a timebomber (you need many stationary toyz for this). If the enemy has brickz around his fort as a first layer of defense use this strategy. Give toyz to the defenderz, make sure they are playing where you can blow them and the brick wall at the same time. If any other gruntz come by, give them toyz near your deadly trap. When the brick layer(z) is broken, continue on to the next fort area and repeat. Then you can send in attack teamz to get by any other defensez.
If you are under heavy assult, try attracting the enemyz' attention, they will come running after you to where ever you lead them. Send a grunt to the attacking AI'z fort, it will come with all of it'z forcez (including any in your base not standing on switchez) to stop you. If you attack a different heavily fort, you can hope they go to yourz and engage in a skirmish against the original attackerz.

- If a bomb happenz to come by, send a grunt out to direct him in a different direction. Same for timebombz (except you kill them).
- If a ranged grunt comez by, gang up on him.
- Watch out for boomerangz, they are by far one of the most damaging gruntz around (at max damage potential, boomerangz can hit almost 30 gruntz! An attack that can kill 7.25 gruntz!)
- If a sword comez by, gang up on him.
- If you get a goober straw, have him suck up any goo to create gruntz faster.
- If you have brickz, have a gauntletz break the cap off any plain stack of brickz reachable. then have your brick layer replace it with something else (gauntlet-breakerz and gold brickz will do well)
- Get access to any powerupz
- If the next obsicale is a RB, send all your attackerz past it. Then trap any oncoming defenderz in it'z path. Now you just have to get around any other defensez.
- Dig holez if any are around.
- Go over bridgez if any are around (that lead someplace you need to be).
- if there are even more brickz, start hacking at them. Block the previous hole you made with any attackerz you have left.
Be sure to pick up any powerupz along the way. To use them:
- ghost: the easiest powerup, send a grunt to attack the enemy'z defense under their nose.
- conversion: this is the funnest powerup, if the conversion is close enough to the enemy fort, you can convert their whole defense.
- roidz: use this to quickly wipe out the defense and hack through brickz in a tight spot.
- invinsibility: have the grunt carring this one to attack the most powerful defenderz. Also, if your gauntletz carriez it, you can break bomb brickz safely.
- reactive armor: again, attack any powerful enemiez with this. Note that you can even resist welder shotz with only a fourth of health loss!
- superspeed: this one workz best if you need to run away.
- death touch; kill every grunt around. Don't give this to your key attackerz (gauntletz and shovelz), they won't be able to use thier toolz.

- If you have any roidz powerupz around, you don't need to bother with toyz. Just lay timebombz all along the wall and you can blow the entire wall out! Continue to do this to all the other fortz.
If you are under heavy assult, try attracting the enemyz' attention, they will come running after you to where ever you lead them.
