Spice Islands is an Intermediate Map in Bloons TD 6. It was one of 5 Intermediate Maps to be introduced on initial release, and was one of the 21 original maps introduced on initial release.
Overview[]
Spice Islands is an archipelago of islands, surrounded by water all around. Bloons move on the visible blue pathway. Land towers can only be placed on any of the 5 tiny islands on the map, but water towers can be placed freely on the vast amount of water on the map.
The fourth island has 4 coconut trees, all of which block Line of Sight for towers, especially infinite-ranged towers such as Snipers or Advanced Intel Subs. The island with the coconut trees can be cleared out for $1000, additionally clearing land for more towers to be placed on.
The other islands appear in various sizes and shapes. The first and last ones are circular, the second one from the left is triangular, the middle one is shaped like an upside-down pear, and second one from the right with the coconut trees is shaped like a bean.
The shore is light blue while the depth has a deeper colour with nice-looking sparkles on the surface.

Summary[]
Unlike most maps that have the vast majority of space be land, this map heavily encourages the use of Monkey Subs, Monkey Buccaneers, and Admiral Brickell to take advantage of the vast space they usually don't have. Merchantmen farming becomes more prominent if one seeks to utilize Income Farming on this this map. Typical strategies include Admiral Brickell with Destroyer Spam, Pirate Lord, Merchantmen + Trade Empire, and Sub Commander Spam. However, land strategies that typically involve a few main towers won't find much difficulty here either due to the number of islands present here.
Tips[]
- Pirate Lord works well on this map, allowing all its attacks to attack well in all its lateral directions.
- One could practice optimal Merchantmen farming here as as the large amount of water space provides ample testing ground (or water, in this case) for an endeavor.
- Despite the large amount of water on this map, land spam strategies can work if they use Arctic Wind (and above) to terraform water into placeable land, though this is usually only done for Central Market's synergy with Merchantmen.
- Bear in mind that land towers cannot move onto frozen water; this is especially problematic for Dark Knight, Dark Champion, and Corvus, who all take advantage of moving themselves via teleportation.
