I thought the third was just as great. It had better castles and cooler monsters, but the second had a story-line, which made up for the little people and small forts. The story-line is was kept me wanting to beat the next stage.
I can't wait until Epic War 4 comes out! The third was the easiest, but had the best gameplay and battle sequences. The only thing that could ever make Epic War 3 better would be if it had a bigger map to cover. Awesome!
Awesome game! Although you can win with just poison balls, you can still make it interesting by getting a dozen rocket gnomes, 5 fully upgraded boomerang gnomes, a few full upgraded cacti, a couple bombs, and some razor gnomes. I love it!
It's a very fun game. It involves strategy, prediction, and well... dumb luck. There are some flaws in it though. Like Open Palm attack. You could just use that and stun your opponent every turn so all they can do is rest. That isn't fun for me or my opponent. Not as exciting. Some things like stalling opponents can get annoying, but overall, it's a great game. 4.5/5.
To kill the octopus: Conquer all buildings. High level comet, agility, speed, defense, and attack are highly recommended. Also, if you're finding you can't conjure magic too fast, level up your crystal power. Select all your men at once and attack in waves, while also attacking with magic. Make sure you kill the other tribes quickly so you have time to kill the boss.
To kill the scorpion: select all you men and attack at once, ine multiple waves. Make sure you've conquered all the buildings first, so you have more men, and make sure your agility is high. High level magic of any kind (I would pick comet) is recommended. Destroy the two front claws first, and then the head. Ignore the hundreds of men dying from the other claws. It's hard, so it may take a few tries.
Helpful hints: get your attack, defense, speed, and agility to teh max near the end, or else it may be slightly difficult. Also, the max level is 50, so if you're finding you're not getting anywhere, that may be why. Magic is good if you're in a jam. Level up your crystal power - it'll help a lot with magic. Agility is the speed in which men are produced in buildings. I you need level ups fast, use your skill points on gaining more XP per kill, or just go back to stages, on different modes. Don't bother trying to use magic on moving people is you're a beginner. Max level comit is very useful - it does a fair amount of damage and has a wide range. If you want your win percentage to go up, just go back to old stages. If you're just about to pick a team - Romans are the best, in my opinion.
To kill the turtle: first kill the opposing tribe, then select all your men at once to attack on of the front legs, attacking it with magic as well. Attack in waves with your men, and if a leg only has about 5 life left, only attack it with one building, so you don't loose men when the leg it destroyed. If you keep on attacking liek this adn destroy the two legs, the head is defenseless, and you can destroy it easily. Just make sure you act fast if you're a beginner - real fast.
