A brief guide to avoid getting overwhelmed: The more troops you have on the battlefield, the larger the enemy's counter-attack would be when its castle is at low health. That's why zerging some 200 hobbits can screw you. Thus, don't try to take the enemy castle down with a single sweep. Rather send in only some 50 tougher guys, have a break to beat the counter-offense and send your main assault after that.
I suppose the "wind" is caused so that when a block hits the tower, it sends a shockwave pulsing through the layers of blocks, always slightly altering balance. Thus, the tower starts to wobble.
The hard mode distantly reminds me of The Necronomicon. At times, the AI/you can one-shot the opponent so that the other gets basically no chance and vice versa. Some levels can be completed in a matter of turns with the right cards. Moreover, the sacrifice cards are a joke. Sometimes the enemy uses them although you had no more than one opposing labourer, shooting itself in the foot. A constant use of them also eventually makes you have to discard every other turn. Despite those flaws, the game was still pretty fun, and since multiplayer is its main focus, who cares really ;)
Those crypts' charges should return back to the crypt rather than disappear if there is no enemy nearby the shot charge. It sucks when all your crypts shoot a massive hail at a ninja, one charge hits, and the rest disappear because of the smoke bomb. Therefore you must wait for the crypts to load, and meanwhile the ninja takes your gem. Would be a nice improvement. Otherwise, an intriguing game 5/5
To get the second badge: Just equip enchanted items (they appear more likely when your level is high), like Mysterious of death, so you should be able to deal 500+ damage with little effort.
I'm trying to get all the aces, you know. To get the ace on level 4, you must have your mouse around where the "rate" button is when you shoot, and that is problematic.
I just did got Fish Thankfulness: not easy at all. Check out YouTube for helpful videos. I can tell my reflexes suck so if I was able to do it, I believe you all can!
