Plan your next 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far session
Our independent guide breaks down each major system of 9‑Bit Armies, offering observations that let you compare tactics and refine your approach without promising hidden rewards. Use the exercises to test ideas and see how documented features interact in practice.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑Op Coordination
Run a campaign mission in co‑op and note how dividing unit responsibilities—one player focusing on air, the other on naval—affects mission completion time compared with solo play.
- Coordinate unit production so each player covers complementary fronts, such as air for one and naval for the other.
- Discuss base placement early to avoid overlapping construction zones.
02 / THE GUIDE
Veterancy Tracking
During a match, record the number of structures built and enemy units destroyed. Analyse which actions contributed most to your veterancy points and adjust future strategies accordingly.
- Balance construction and combat actions to maximize point gain each match.
- Prioritise side‑missions early to add extra points before major battles.
03 / THE GUIDE
Survival Wave Patterns
Play several Survival runs with different base layouts—tight perimeter versus spread out. Compare survival length to see which arrangement better mitigates wave damage.
- Establish a solid defensive perimeter early to reduce early‑wave casualties.
- Upgrade key structures promptly to keep pace with increasing wave strength.
05 / THE GUIDE
Mega Structure Placement
Place a mega structure in three distinct locations—near resources, at a choke point, and in open terrain. Record enemy aggression and defensive effectiveness for each placement.
- Place mega structures near resource‑rich zones to protect your economy.
- Reserve superweapons for high‑value targets to maximise their impact.
