Thanks for the explanation and help. I've built mainly Gardeners from the start. I keep getting like 51-52k. Not sure how to squeeze out that last few k.
I think I've got to take that NE corner city sooner.....
Any suggestiosn on how to do so?
Appreciate the help

Well, you said you're building mostly gardeners, but I would build *only* gardeners on this map. Other units will only be a waste of money, since gardeners are good for expansion and cultivation -- the only 2 things you have to do on this map.

I just did a test run on Legendary and got over 60k, so it's definitely possible. =)

Yeah, Hiro. Thank you. I did NOT know Gardeners would not be attacked by adjacent units. Knowing this essential fact, I built only Gardeners and got 61,400 the first try.
I'd been building units to try to kill the statues guarding the entrance to the final city. (rolling eyes)
The Gardener just snuck by with ease!
Thanks again for the pointers all!

Congratulations! Legendary mode is pretty hard, and I balanced the expansion missions to require near-perfect play in order to succeed. So don't get discouraged. =)

Keep in mind it's not that he Gardener's can't be attacked by adjacent units (they can, normally.) It's that Runners can't attack adjacent units, and all the enemy units/statues on that map are Runners.

If you're not already, make sure you check out each units and its abilities to know the limitations of your enemies and how to exploit their weaknesses and avoid their strengths. =)
