Kingdom Rush Origins Campaign Idea: Shower Of Red Plot: “General! It is a dire time indeed! Our old ally, the gnome king is dead and his once peaceful land has been taken over by the infamous warlock, Aldanc, the gnomish warlord. He has amassed a formidable army out of the gnome-kings militia and the savage redcap hordes, forcing a fungal infection upon the land and not only that, but something more than just munchshrooms are being devised in those pits... We must stop Aldanc's warpath at all costs! What's more, is that Aldanc's forces have reached the verdant edge, where the gnome's source of playfulness and magical ability, the great tree Maibranch, is at stake! To battle!!”
Notes: The three levels take place along the verdant edge just in case you were wondering where the levels were located. Although most of the enemies aren't that hardy, they are very numerous (even the stronger ones) and they have strength in numbers.
