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.
