All cut scenes can be safely skipped, the x1 button will double the fight scene speed and the Auto button will use your abilities to the best advantage.
You are welcome
Thank you to the developers, this is an enjoyable game. Does anyone have a theory about how the loot from a rebel raid is calculated. Distance? How long since last raid? village size? I don't see a correlation ~ anything from nothing to thousands.
Thanks for playing, we're glad you're having a good time. :) Rebel villages produce silver the same way that your village does, and fill up slowly over time. How much silver they make depends on their silver mine - they upgrade over time too. At least until you take them over!
To all those posting about stars... I don't know exactly what the formula is, but filling all the quests, complete destruction (including buildings) and short time are the components. Damage taken doesn't seem to matter.
I imagine this will get all kinds of hate, but I am going to say it anyway:
In order to advance, you have to arrange an adoption of a boy with a pair of gay penguins who have just hit on your character... a little boy. Gross, Gross, Gross and inappropriate. Shame on you.
I what sense is this even a game? I guess if idle "games" can be called games, then this qualifies, but the entertainment factor is practically nonexistant.
What is really sad is that I played it long enough to get the medium badge. I'm pathetic.
This is not my favorite type of game, so maybe I am biased, but it seems like any game where you basically need to recruit and level up a number of characters should have a better interface.
I was born with a gift.....
If Kongregate is trying to pressure me into buying the premium service by playing this commercial over and over again, it is a good tactic, but they overplayed their hand. I am now so aggravated that I won't give them the satisfaction.
Wonderful Game! I love that there are different levels of strategy necessary to finish the game - and thumbs up to Kongregate for an impossible badge which I enjoy working on.
Ever notice how your storyline opponents are tough and then weak in just the right combination to just keep you from leveling up without buying energy? CONSPIRACY!
This is a great game. I normally don't post comments, but I can't believe all the whiners. I like a game I can play in an evening, and I think there is just the right amount of story - besides the story is really well done.
My only complaint is that I am ate up with curiosity about what the original Obama joke was. Given the rest of the game, I bet it was funny!
