Thanks to Biolyn from the website Weiphone.com, we now have a solution to beat the Drylands map on Hard Difficulty (Classic mode). This strategy doesn't use the controversial 'tower selling' or 'endless maze' tactic, which some comrades believe is a type of cheat or exploit in the game.
Of course you don't have to follow this guide exactly if you still want a challenge. Here at the Strategy Games HQ, we found it was more fun to use it as a rough guide instead of following it step by step.
