Only flaw in this game is that the multiplayer AI doesn't seem very smart, it puts its sorcerors at the back of the army if all units are mounted units so if i was fighting an army of flame mages and sorcs the flame mages would be at the front and sorcs at the back.
way too easy, would make it harder if prices kept changing as it is, if you find two cities with high difference in a high end product and 1 day travel distance its basically endless easy cash. Would be great if good prices changed per week in cities randomly (like tradewinds).
Its pretty easy to finish on hard mode with no lives lost, start with tack shooter and upgrade to max range, then get speed shot and blades. Get another tack shooter and max it. They should pop all baloons and if any get through pop using road spikes (shouldnt need more then 1 per round). Dont buy anything else till you can buy missle, place this before tack shooters so it can pop any metal baloons. Once this is maxed, dont buy anything other then roadspikes to kill off any that get past the blade shooters, once you have the money buy super moneky and upgrade him as you get the money. Once he is fully upgraded, buy beacon and place where supermonkey and the tack shooters are affected. Get the range and attack speed upgrade then the super monkey storm. By level 46+, use loads of monkey glue to slow down all baloons, wait for all baloons to be on screen and monkey storm them. Do this for all remaining levels.
