some tips:
- dont put your spearman on the border, but 1 tile behind the border, then the only way to enter your land will be with a knight and then they still can only take 1 tile cause your spearman is still alive.
- if they have too much, you can also defend further inwards, so they can take a bit of your land but are still blocked from making alot of progress. this way you can spend minimal on 1 side while you destroy another
- for bandits try attack the one thats about to cross your border so you can increase your eco while you reduce their numbers
game saves fine for me(maybe you guys deleted browser history? not sure if that matters but that was a thing for other games)
the ai is very adept at punishing you, but is predictable if you check the gold they have and think about where they can cut you off. the difficulty seems perfect for me, not so difficult that it becomes a boring puzzlegame with only 1 or 2 solutions to the level but also definitely not easy enough to go in without a plan. i did manage to beat all maps up to 27 currently, but eventho im very good at strategy i did need a couple retries at 2-3 maps so i can understand some players get stuck. perhaps add some difficulty options normal-hard-brutal with this one being hard
im still not even close to halfway nor bored yet, how is this game free???
5/5 very fun to find the right balance for each level, rushing eco while trying to blitz push enemy terrain to cut off their supply, but you have to fortify your cutoff then with units however this is expensive so you try to replace your cutoff with a tower so your units can work on the nearby bandits that were draining your supply slowly all this time. very fun strategic balance game 5/5
fun mechanics, but bad replayability. need more level variety. also once you find a legendairy weapon your instandly maxed, no use for gold. should make tiers for artifacts aswell. and give weapons some levels in each tier that you can increase with gold. also the skilltree is kinda dull, just linear upgrades, mix the lines a bit.
Ive been playing the cell genre forever, sad that solarmax is so lowly ranked, definitely deserves first spot. Hope there will be a version 3 someday, with upgrades!
i love the psychology, i can try to predict when someone is going to steal.....and then!!! i cant do anything with that prediction, im going to lose whatever i do? where is the strategy?????
