Great game. Best iddle i played. Maybe cause its less... idle. Its nice that you can equip your chars. Also you got cool new things, like dragon lair and boss party. I just want some group option in inventory, like a bag, so you can put aside itens you keeping to combine later and "sell all stuff" without worry.
Hardgame tips that worked for me: 1)Buy a miner and a sword (knights for mongols, peasants until 1st farm, then a sword. Get 4swords before 1st townhall). try getting the poachers bonus in 10th year, cause it helps a lot. 2)Near the 2nd townhall, buy a lumber and a church. get 3 archers (cheap support). Buy a oak/druid asap and other oak/druid every time you can. 3) Buy a stable when you get + than 1,5k/year. Buy a cowshed and invest on knights. With 2cowshed you´re done with farms. After 3th hall, grab a minotaur. Then i keep on faith builds, stables and minotaurs.
4)Go for the blue believes. Use the scroll when you need. After ore armor, go for chickens and then the zombies. Keep the scroll for the last battle. If you have to use the scrolls early, do the den battle.
Keep some gold to rebuild, cause the knights dies a lot. At the end, i go fine with +- 40~50peasants, 6archers, 3druids, 15knights, 8swords, 3minotaurs. You need some tries to get it to work, so good luck and have fun!
My only complain about the game is that a bunch of luck get involved. You cant get a good run without a good order of the events, and even past the dragon, if you dont get the edge in the right time.
Making improvements per lvl in later runs like everyone says could help, but if you make more option of upgrades, itens (maybe upgrade for other stats, not only atack and hp), more choices to make, you can put more strategy and less luck in a simple run.
Love this game. Great chars, simple and fun game system (great thing, the free resets), catchy story. I just want a intro and end cutscenes to. Waiting for a sequel.
Some tips for each char on hard (works for me, at least):
Detective: Put all in dodge, then in concentration and head shot. Keep defensive
Librarian: Put all in con. Use atk skill, then defend, then normal atack, then heal.
Student: I put all in diamont shot, then 1 or 2 in focus, then play around. Kick but in atack.
Last Flake: My best char. 1 in bite, 5 in regen and rest in Health. Keep atacking and healing. She can beat the last boss all alone.
Hunter: 4 in Tiger claw (5 make it to fast). He do serious damage, use it against high atk enemys, so you can kill then before you lose much life.
To get the hard badge you need to manage your upgrades. For me, the best way is getting max lot & magnet at the start. Then get the best cannon. Sell the least usefull treasure box and buy the best flag. Upgrade the ship, buy the other best flag. And best fire rate at last, after the ship.
You should get max lot and fire rate. Almost maxed cannon and a good speed. I got 33k score after beating the last boss for the second time.
Some tips for meele chars 1) A balanced build works better. I put 2 str/ 2 sta 2) Rough dmg is generaly more effetive than str bonus 3) Keep the itens with special skills. "Charm" saved my ass more than one time in the last run. And get a special attention to "entangle". Its great to get a monster alone and beat him, or even to simple run. You can keep the equipment in inventory and equip in need. Even without any points on Will you can use the skill. 4) Go for elemental protection. Focus on ice elemental, cause the ice warrior realy kick you in the guts. Its realy the only great danger you can find. Keep the ice elemental itens from the begin. Hiting 100 ice protection make you invencible. The fire protection are useful, and the first one you should equip, but with 50% you can survive well. Dont botter with Poison. Really. 5) I used the build Werewolf/Fighter. You get hp really fast.
The best way i found to make gold is cutting the bushes. They give coins at a good rate. After beating the game, i got the last 5k to buy the shield in 30min +-, in the screen next to the first castle (world 2), where you found the big butterfly (just cutting the 2 groups of bushes in the botton and killing the bats, moving left and right to make then respawn).
@Gabrielzzzz, try upgrade the arrows first. Works for me in all the levels (17 and 18 need a dwarf when the enemy halflings cames, cause the little guys walks to fast for the arrows). Just upgrade tower and mana bost when you dont have enough max mana. Shoot at the longest range and re-aim in the units that pass. If a great number of enemys cames (like the backup atack that always cames when you are to destroy the enemy castle), use the unlimited arrow special in the bigest units (red dragons), summon hardcore ally units (like paladins, cannons, mages, etc) and aim for the long range troops if possible (cannons, catapults and mages/totens). Also, do again the early stages to gain more xp (stage 6 with the halflings trick give you 6k xp each time. Take some tries to get tower lv5, but is great to upgrade the other buildings besides castle. And you just need the titan unit in the last levels). Well, good luck ^^
Man, this game should be great, but he just try to MAKE YOU PLAY ALL YOUR LIFE AWAY! I dont see a thing like this since "ballon invasion" game +. Its just ridiculous. Ok, the graphics are awesome, the upgrades are cool. The races too. But you have to play to much to complete the upgrades tree. And the f***ing last boss take me TWO HOURS! TWO HOURS! Cmom. We really need 3kk of hp?!! By the way, a quality button its always welcome, for those you have crap PCs like me. Also, should be cool if you can join units from diferent races like the enemy does in the last levels. A "custon mode" for you army, you know?
Man, i love this game. Really Fun. I wish that could be better drawned XD But whatever. A goal could have some use to, like in "Hedhog Launch". Great simple game.
This game is really cool. Have a good looking, sounds complex.. whatever. The people that just say "awesome" dont play it to the level 20 or above (Or found a great strategy). Its TOTALY unbalanced. And have a bunch of bugs (Some levels the ships just shot at nothing, or even worse, they shot at YOUR OWN BASE! But im in a new campaing now and some other bugs disapears, so lets see). Sponge, the number of troops drops cause every time a aircraft touch your side of your screen, you lose a soldier. And all the other people with problens in this game, im belive that the secret is the powered skill for more life and more damage (for the troops). Im wit all my xp in this, and if works, i leet you people know. But this game have some problems, and could be BIG if the gameplay can be fixed.
The game is okay, its fun, and very simple.
In one hand, there is a lack of objetive, i dont feel like i want to rise the little ball over the space. But in other hand, i like how FunFace games know how make simple things look interessing. Its just a click game after all, but you can have some fun, and this is a good point.
Could have more things to do, but i dont know, cause i dont open meteor mode yet XP
2)The last level is just dumb. A head gear?! Come on... And bullet prof legs to?
You could just put him in a reforced limo or something. I mean, the game just need more complex missions that just "spot the guy by the hair,and shoot".
The thing with various diferent shots in the head, are real cool and a good new add to the sniper type games. But you could improve it and make diferent shots in the body (im really waiting for a shot in the gutts, realy! "balls to the walls". Or a shot in the scorpio tatoo of the last freak).
I know that is a angel of vengeance, but could have some shots to prevent a crime, to.
And some stuff is realy heavy, like the case with the canibal XD
Whatever, a good and pretty game, but could improve a lot in the gameplay.
1)Well, as always, mostly people in the web are just jackasses with pre-made fake politicized comments. But im not here to discuss sexism.
About the game, the movie style is totaly awesome. All the enfort of the artist and the amazing graphics got me a score of Five for sure.
But in other hand, the gameplay have a lot of flaws. All the guys are like, the same. Some diferent clothes dont hurt. Also, the people run when hear a shot, but, like in the mission with the four cops, they walk unconcerned about the street, with a corpse without head in the sidewalk and blood and brains in the wall.
I´m glad that this game is short. Could be a lot better and fells like a demo. Its to easy, and the game should be about making a microscopic army, but its really better to get just one bactery and eat all enemys, so why slip? And the AI is a little dump, you just have to get big, then let you adversary eat until he split and then get then.
With a little more complexit could be a good game, but is cool aniway
This game is so much better than the pre-quel! Without the stages, all the thing is really more action. Plus the alied units and the space ship are a cool add on. And the rebuild systen make the game fun and easy. My only complain is that the game still have so much strange colors, but a lot less than the ether cannon. Good work o/
My tips are, buy cannon upgrades, and triple cannon. Focus on damage, then in some speed, then you are done. Works for me.
