Monkeyopolis (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Monkeyopolis''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. When purchased, it sacrifices all tier 4 or lower [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]] in range, deleting them from the map. In exchange, Monkeyopolis generates cash depending on the value of the Banana Farms sacrificed. Monkeyopolis cannot be purchased unless there is a Banana Farm in range which can be sacrificed, and uniquely its cost does not depend on the [[game difficulty]]; rather, the upgrade always costs $5,000 times the number of Banana Farms in range.

This means it generates a minimum of $1,200 per round. If placed as an Insta-Monkey, it's treated as if it had this value.

The price of the Monkeyopolis increases by $5,000 for every non-tier 5 [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]] within the tower's range.

Monkeyopolis stands out in Boss Events, which depend hugely on snowballing income. Its main use case is the "Miniopolis" that is bought at the early Round 30's or after the Tier 1 Boss to boost the income of other income-producing towers as well as producing income at the same time. With the Monkeyopolis, the player may continue to buy cheaper Farms that produce extra income, in addition to utilizing the increased cash-per-pop, especially from a [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]] setup.

There are two types of Miniopolis: the basic Miniopolis, and the IMFopolis. Fundamentally, they both involve only one Farm, but the setup is distinct. The basic Miniopolis is easier to execute overall, compared to IMFopolis which requires careful setup with [[IMF Loan (BTD6)|IMF Loan]]'s {{BTD6 mk|Bank Deposits}} and waiting for its ability prior to affording the immediate build to Monkeyopolis.

To execute the basic Miniopolis strategy with the most saving, do the following on a map with enough space for three Villages and a nearby Farm:

# Buy three 0-0-2 Villages near each other, buying one 0-0-2 at a time. (If there's enough money, four 0-0-2 Villages also can save money, but it's optional)

# Place a Farm within range of all Villages if possible

# Sell all other 0-0-2 Villages

# While the Monkey Bank is collecting cash, get 1 or 2 2-0-0 [[Greater Production (BTD6)|Greater Production]] Farms

# After depositing the player should ideally have ~8300 cash. If the player has less than 8300 cash, keep depositing on the next round

# After 3 rounds the IMF Loan ability should be ready to use and IMF Loan should have 12,000+ cash stored

# Buy two or three 0-0-2 Villages near each other and buy Monkey Town. Make sure the village that becomes the Monkeyopolis is in range to sacrifice the IMF Loan.  

# Sell all other 0-0-2 Villages

# Start the round and immediately use the Loan ability, upgrade Monkey Town to Monkeyopolis

The larger Monkeyopolis is not as powerful as the Miniopolis, but does allow the player to compress plenty of Farms into a single tower, and pairs well with a nearby Monkey City. This "Mega-opolis" is only needed in conjunction with conventional farming strategies (especially [[Banana Central (BTD6)|Banana Central]] + 4-2-0 [[Banana Research Facility (BTD6)|BRFs]] + [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]]) and if planning to farm enough for more than four high-degree Paragons; most late-game farming options are more cost-efficient and often provide enough cash in most cases. For efficient sacrifices for a Mega-opolis, add basic Village buffs, optionally with [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]] to cover a few more BRFs, and surround with as many 4-2-0 BRFs as possible.
