---------------------------
How to Play
---------------------------
You start out as the Baldies. You try to kill the other teams. To do that
you must
build houses to breed, invent stuff, and make weapons. To breed, place workers
in the house.
To maintain and expand houses, have builders in there. For inventions, use
scientists. For
weapon making, have soldiers.
---------------------------
Types of Baldies
---------------------------
Worker(Red)-Breeds in house, produces red energy
Builder(Blue)-Maintains houses, produces blue energy
Soldier(Green)-Makes bullets and grenades, battles, produces green energy
Scientist(White)-Makes and builds inventions, produces white energy
---------------------------
Toolbar
---------------------------
The Baldy in the red shirt is a Worker. The one in the blue shirt is a
Builder. The
one in the greenish shirt is a Soldier. The one in the white shirt is a
Scientist. To turn
people into those click on the appropriate icon and click on one Baldy to make a
single one
that and click on an empty space and drag to turn everyone in the dark space
into
the one you
want. The angel(Windows) and the angel wings(DOS) make people move in mass
numbers and is more
efficient than the hand. It takes up worker energy. The shovel digs land into
water and water
into land. It takes up worker energy. The flag builds a house. Uses builder
energy and
requires a builder on the outside to construct. The hand grabs small items. If
you grab
anything other than a Baldy it uses worker energy. The power bars fill up as
the
appropriate
Baldies walk around.
---------------------------
Teams
---------------------------
There are 4 teams.
Baldies-You
Hairies(Blue)
Beardies(Yellow and Green)
---------------------------
Buildings
---------------------------
Each building has 4 rooms. Starting from lower left, going clockwise.
Worker room
is where they breed. Builder room is where the builders maintain the house.
Minimum builders
to maintain house is 1 for every 5 a house can hold. Picture of house is where
you choose which
house to build. Red for breeding, white for science, and green for military.
Details below.
Chalkboard is where you choose an invention to build. Scientist room is where
scientists
cook up ideas for inventions. Soldier room is where they make grenades and
bullets for
battle The more baldies in a particular room, the faster they do stuff(ex.
more
builders=
faster expansion).

---------------------------
Attacking
---------------------------
To attack, make sure you have at least 1 Barrack and lots of soldiers and
the angel wings.
Then put your shield where there are the most enemies outside. Then fly your
soldiers to the
shield. They should start shooting. If they don't, you don't have enough
soldiers in the
Barrack. To invade a house put your shield on a house. Beware, every Hairy
killed will kill a
Baldy. To grenade a house and then invade, put your shield on a house, but put
a
rock in front
of the door. The soldiers will throw grenades until the house is wrecked. Then
remove the rock.
---------------------------
Level Strategy
---------------------------
Level 1
Build a barracks and let 1 of the soldiers kill the Hairy. You do not have
to breed.
Level 2
Between the tree and the 2 houses you have, build a house. Make sure it is
centered.
Make it a breeding one and take the soldiers out of the other houses. Then
follow tip #2. Once
you have excess Baldies, turn the upper house into a Science house and the
bottom
one into a
Barracks. Then attack until you win. If you killed all the Hairies and you
still didn't win,
try all the trees, there are some in there.
---------------------------
Secrets and Tips
---------------------------
Instead of invading a house, put your shield on it and put a rock on the
door. If you
have a barracks, soldiers will grenade the house. When it gets ruined, go in.
You won't lose 1
Baldy.
When you get to a Medium house, only have the required number of builders
in
it. Leave
the rest workers. Repeat for the other breeding houses.
When you have a helivopter, isolate all your soldiers in one place so they
don't shoot.
Then use the helicopter to bomb all the buildings so the enemy can't breed.
DON'T use the hand with the helicopter. It will chop your fingers off.
Then you can't
grab anything, but it looks cool.
For Extra levels 1 and 2 drop sheep in the water. Then pick up 10 dolphins
and put them
in your science house. Then beat the level. In place of levels 1 & 2 there
will
be extra
levels.
---------------------------
Bonus Levels
---------------------------
Between Level 09 and 10-Use the hand to save the Baldies from the mine field.
Every one over 12
saved will be warped to the next level. 30 seconds.
Just have quick
reflexes.
Between Level 17 and 18-Use the flag and shovel to guide the Baldies to the
warp. 1 out of
every 4 will be warped to the next level. 2 minutes.Put
the flag in the
warp and use the shovel to make paths to the warp.
There
are Baldies in
each corner. Since they are Builders, they will go
towards the warp.
Make sure you dig a wide path so they won't wander
around.
Between Level 27 and 28-Use the soldiers to kill the Hairies in the trees.
Every
Hairy killed
is an extra Baldy in the next level. Put a Baldy in
every tree. If a
Hairy is in it, the soldier will get killed. Then put
another one in to
kill him and take over the tree.
Between Level 34 and 35-Use the hand to save the Baldies from the traps. Every
one over 8 will
be warped to the next level. 30 seconds.

Hint #2 for Baldies
How to Quickly Complete a Level
When the game starts you usually have a ten to twenty Baldies wandering
aimlessly around. Here's 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.
6. 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 it's 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
doesn't 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 aren't 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.
