This is a nerve racking way to get to level 85. There are three pictures attached – one at 35, one at 79, and one at 85 a little before the Ceramic Train. Using the method below, you will get silver … but this path will keep you on the edge of your seat because a few b’loons get through and they frequently get right to the end. I’d expect someone could improve / modify this path. 1)    Enable the ‘dart monkey’ special building (l4)– amp up those dart throwers! 2)    There are two agents starting on the map – the turtle and the squirrel; the banana farmer gets dropped on once the farms get put down. 3)    In rough order, put these monkeys down.  This layout is in one of the pic’s, below. a.    Ninja on the top by the fork in the river. b.    Dart monkey on the middle peninsula. c.    Dart on the left peninsula. d.    Bomb tower by the fork. e.    Bomb tower left of the fork. f.    Sub (you did get the 2013 Christmas present, I hope?) g.    Banana Farm, lower right. h.    Tack thrower on the far right peninsula. i.    Bomb towers and Dart monkeys, clustered around the fork. j.    Second banana farm, remaining dart monkeys, Monkey engineer, and sub. k.    Right at round 35 put down the super monkey. 4)    At this stage you have a good base. Make sure that you have enough coverage with your dart monkeys – upgrade them to 4/0 so that you are ready for Ceramics and you can wipe out cammo’s (they appear in droves later, and there is the usual cammo train in the 30’s). 5)    The various bomb towers need to be upgraded and targeted ‘strong’, all 3/0. 6)    Second round of build out a.    Add more bomb towers, and upgrade, along the middle peninsula. b.    A helicopter, upgraded to ‘pursuit’. c.    More banana farms. d.    More dart monkeys to 4/0. e.    One of those ice towers, upgraded to 2/2 (or maybe 2/3?) f.    Second super monkey – both need to be upgraded to 3/0 or 3/1, 3/2 by round 61. g.    The monkey buccaneer gets dropped down about round 55; he’s important because in the mid 50’s the MOAB’s start showing up. h.    This layout is in the second pic, below. Well, that’s about it – there are a few ceramic trains that come through, so I specifically decided to build out a defense that could get me to 85+. Ceramic trains are very difficult to defeat; looks like they are commonplace about level 85… and it takes a long term strategy to defeat them. See the third pic – this is just before the MOAB train … which is followed by the Ceramic Train … which often brings the sound of defeat….
