    I did this on mission 14 on Practice Mode on Normal Difficulty. Playing on Easy is allowed, and would give you a bit more leeway.
    A few things to make note of that aren't in the video.
    I started by building that bottom squiggle out of greens, then upgrading them to reds as I had the resources.
    When the extra path pops up (with the loops), I blocked the road to make them walk up there. I also upgraded these to reds.
    As I gained resources, I built that back line of red infernos.
    Around wave 20, I built the 4 infernos in the loop square.
    During wave 24, I used Cai's Orbital Laser to weaken both of the enemy dropships so the guys inside would come out weaker.

    And there you have it, the achievement should unlock on the score screen.

    E vee dubHaha. Should've stuck with youtube because your onedrive is no longer there.

    PRACTICE MODE is found by scrolling to the bottom of the MODE list before choosing General Cai.

    To verify, YOU CAN USE BOOST TOWERS, if you wish to make use of them.

    Thank you for the video. I unlocked the FIREBUG & UNTOUCHABLE achievements on my first attempt of this video.

    Elite1111111111Thanks, I'll edit the onedrive link out since the other video works fine.

    JackBlaiseJust to clarify, chapter 4 isn't the same as mission 4. You need to do level 12 onwards for this to unlock - guide says level 14 and that is a perfect level!

    *Elite1111111111's solution is great, however I am adding a screenshot for path assistance.*

    You use Booster towers for this achievement however I did not.

    I did this on mission 14 on Practice Mode on Easy Difficulty.

    I was able to get up to wave 21 by spamming lvl 1 Inferno towers as seen below. By which point I had already unlocked gold. After that I upgraded towers as much as I could for an easy win.

    I also used the Command Shuttle to move some spots down.

    I did this achievement on level 12 on the Story mode on easy difficulty . My tactic was to cover the map in level 3 flame towers but I started by making the aliens go the long way round on the bottom part of the map by blocking of the short bend and also blocking the 2 middle squares, I then blocked off 3 of the 4 passages and only left the one closest to the cores so they have to snake round. If you keep upgrading all of your towers to level 3 you should have enough fire power to get you through the level but to be safe keep adding flames to the start of your snake path when ever you get spare resources.

    I am not the best at describing my method so I have included a video below to show me completing the achievement.
