Alright so. Take a look at this game play. There seriously needs to be a report button for idiots like this. It is very irritating because its happening more and more.
Conquermars pelase fix the issues with taking over an AI in the middle of a game.
I've tried this many times but many times have failed because I can't move the units.
I can purchase them but not attacke anything
Guys, If your finding this game challenging and you often leave games early, watch this replay of my game. http://www.kongregate.com/games/ConquerMars/conquer-mars/?v=Kong_0_7_8-r=Mzg2NzAAmppXpnN33j8A Excuse me trying to stop all the nukes xD
Artillery gets more powerful as their numbers grow, since they have greater range so more units can fire while the tanks are trying to push forward. However, the artillery is slower, and 60 artillery is definitely something I would try to use a couple of missiles against. Next time send me the replay so I can check out if it looks unbalanced!
ConquerMars. I see your point in the fact that Battle Tanks are good counters. But, you fail to take in account for cost. Atrillery cost far less than a tank.
I just tried to pitch 5 Battle Tanks (cost 400) against 20 Artillery (cost 1000), without any upgrades. The 5 Battle Tanks completely destroyed the 20 Artillery without losing a single tank.
Sure, you can use specific targetting, micro managing your artillery to move away to change the results - but overall it still seems pretty balanced to me :)
Battle Tanks are a really good counter to artillery. Artillery is also very vulnerable to missiles. I have really tried to balance all units, so they have equals strengths and weaknesses. If anybody thinks that a unit is overpowered/underpowered, just send me a link to a replay and I'll look into it
I love the game overall! But a few things could be added to improve. First of all, the endless mode is somewhat useless after you upgrade your weapons all the way. A enemy kill count could be added for the high score part on kong.(In one run on endless mode :P) Also, the idea of interchangeable parts is a great idea but, maybe have them set for 5000$ more if you already have a part on there.
On a side not I love the way you earn money in this game because it goes right alont with the flow of the game,not too fast not too slow. Add a few new high scores(For endless) and this game will get my 5 star review. But for now it is still given a 4-star review.
That should be fixed in the latest version! :)
