I can get the two queens on the bottom... but I can't seem to get north without being because there's roaches coming from three directions and I can't cover them at the right time to move into the first 2-wide hallway (thus preventing roaches from approaching from the south)... because by the time I kill the roaches south of me, there's more going there. aie.

Subtle hint: How could you go about reducing the number of directions the roaches are coming at you from without killing any more queens?

Progressively less subtle hints:

the stupid part is, I was sitting in that very spot, but failing to do the obvious while there.

I'm stuck again! Okay, And the Fregundos start to kill the roaches, however, I just can't keep covered down there. The roaches somehow slip by. Any tips?

That's what I've been trying to do! Could you post a demo of the frist few queens. Hopefully then, I'll catch on.

BTW, this is the last room of the level, and I'm really getting tired of Fregundos.

Can't post a demo right now, but here's a bit more detail on the strategy I used. Note that I was not particularly worried about efficiency here.



After you get all the queens, the cleanup is pretty straightforward - more of the above.

I gave up on this room after dying on move 8000...
Any general hints? I seem to barely be able to move the roamer fegundo around - I killed only one more queen with it.

In fact I'm just hoping the H&S will work it's magic on me.

Edit: And it did! Solved.

You don't "see" demos on the site...you download them and then import them into DROD. The default location is the "Homemade" folder in the "Data" subfolder. Then press F6 in game, and you get the demo screen, where you can import downloaded demos and watch your own. The easiest way is to be in the room you want to watch the demo for before you press F6.

That being said, I don't have access to a demo to supply to you right now, but the point is that everyone that plays DROD can use the demos on the site. (But you're right that not everyone can see the pictures. However, when you buy TCB, you get a free month of CaravelNet which means you can see those pictures for that month, among the other subscription benefits of course.)

Mr. Slice is using a newer version of DROD that hasn't been officially released yet.

Either you need to import the 3.2 patch (check out the bugs section to find it) or you need to wait for somebody else to give you a demo from 3.1.
