For The Medieval Tower (jamapim): boxozeg

Cool :-) I knew there'd be a much simpler solution than what I did.

Good puzzles.

For the Tower (nabymuv): ximyfyt
For the Eastern Tower (vedozan): hibynag
For the Medieval Tower (jamapim): bidavyk

Cool solutions. I especially like the little contraption for reordering them in hibynag.

For The Tower (nabymuv): behehos
For Eastern Tower (vedozan): rubudeh
For Medieval Tower (jamapim): tenakir

Welcome to the forum, Curly, and these are great, original puzzles!

For The Onslaught (cupyxoh): nufesag
For Aerial Onslaught (velusob): bidynir

For the Onslaught (cupyxoh): dibogac
For Aerial Onslaught (velusob): dohydem

Rene, I like that downhill "dozer lock" used on two of your tower solutions.

Hmmm....I gave up on solving Aerial Onslaught and had to look at your solutions. I kept running out of space in the top corner. Some neat tricks in both of yours. I have a lot to learn.

To Hell and Back lucatax

My aim was to learn how to count without dozers.

There is no shame at all in that. Aerial Onslaught was a very tough puzzle. I tried and failed with a number of large constructions, before I found my compact solution.

For Hell and Back (lucatax): jirecyl (avoiding Hell alltogether) and xopebed (proper solution)

For To Hell and Back (lucatax): pusirem (cheating, 10 ticks), and gydazid

I agree with Rene -- Aerial Onslaught was not so easy. I worked hard to get a compact solution to fit in the top corner, being a bit competitive and wanting to have a sleek and elegant look to the solution. In this case, I like Rene's solution a bit more than mine for its efficiency.

To Hell and Back was also a good puzzle. But, Rene and jnz,

! I suspected that the other solutions would do that. I wanted

. Just a bit competitive. Wink
