  • How to unlock Manual Override

    This is the toughest achievement in the game. Create a custom battle with three skilled opponents, on Pirates Cove. Keep restarting the match until two of your opponents build two harvesters on their first turn. They will become stranded on a level one tile. On your first turn, move two of your walkers to the left, one to the right. Build a harvester on the tile closest to the edge. After your first turn, you will notice that the harvester you built is on a level one tile. This means it is time to self-destruct (after moving your walkers again). Refer to "Lost in the Waves" for information on self-destructing. Since you already owned a harvester during the turn, you do not need to build another one until the next turn.

    You must be diligent when attempting this achievement, as one false move will spell disaster for you. To be clear, this is what you can and cannot do:

    Can

    • Self-destruct harvesters.
    • End the turn without having a harvester in play, as long as you self-destructed one that turn.

    Cannot

    • Allow your harvesters to fall into the mist through natural player (no self-destruct)
    • Allow your harvester to be captured by the enemy
    • Use captured enemy harvesters as your only harvester (they do not count)

    If a harvester is on a level one tile, self-destruct. Be wary of building harvesters on level two tiles that are within range of enemy cannons. If they shoot your harvester, when your turn comes around, it will disappear into the mist, voiding the achievement.

    Generally, you want to build a cannon within range of one your opponents on a level one tile. As soon as they buy a carrier, destroy them. Use the carrier you gained to take out your other opponent (if they haven't already moved) or to find higher ground. Keep a carrier in reserve, in case you run out of land. As you need to keep building harvesters, you must act quickly to take out your final opponent(s). Buy plenty of walkers, fly them over and swiftly eliminate your enemies to unlock your hard earned achievement.
