How to
You can easily beat any map on survival (or even nightmare) clearing corruption at Day 1. Try to find the way to do it with help of little hint destroy your main building , or jump strait to a guide:
Prerequisites:
1) when game starts you get special button to place your main building. This is the only way to build main. If main was destroyed, game isn’t lost and special button appears again. You can build main anywhere on the map;
2) when you place your main building, corruption appears as far from you as it could;
3) main building got huge corruption resistance range;
4) you can't directly dismantle town center, but you can destroy it by god's powers.

Guide:
1) choose starting position to spawn corruption near map border;
2) let your builders put a little effort into building main until it will get hp bar (with 100-200 hp);
3) you can't directly dismantle main building, but nothing prevents you from burning it with fire spell;
4) BURN IT;
5) after "place main" button appear, settle it directly near corruption and let your guys finish the job (or even don’t let, cause as far as i saw, corruption resistance around town center appears not when it finished, but when it placed);
6) when last tile of corruption falls, huge army of headless will appear;
7) the only thing left is to survive! After main gone (headless will destroy it in seconds), place it as far as you can. This will force your builders to ruuuuun. During day slowly kill enemies by god handle or some spells;
8) corruption is gone and you are perfect.

Fun to mess around with for a bit, noticed though that if you scatter the headless with fire before your settlers arrive to build the main building, they can actually pick them off on their own! No need to extensively clean them up, it pretty much happened without too much intervening

Just tried it. It worked, but took several re-placements and nearly two days! The corruption did NOT want to go away, and I had to burn a LOT of boogeys... Must have been a bit too slow to catch it when it started. Thank you for the guide!

Cheesing a single player game is always fun for a short while.

Sounds smart, no need to protect single player game from abuses. Will think a little if i should remove this noote oor leave, in oorder not to break others fun finding glitch

As posted on the forums, this has been known about as long as the corruption has been in game, Ray (the dev) hasn't bothered with any fix cause if players want to cheese a single player game, that's for them to decide on.
