I have a question, What machine learning algorithm are you using? I have some experience using them for mapping projects and was wondering which you were using for this fun game.
It is a neural network 3-6-3-2 at the beggining, 5-10-5-2 after first retirement and 7-21-14-7-2 after the second one. The algorithm to evolve is really simple: take the best one, replicate and alterate the 3% of the conections.
For contested territories my game keeps crashing around round 30. This is upsetting because I have already beaten round 35 earlier this week and now despite using stones and crates for extra cash the entire game will crash on round 30 leaving me down on these in game resources. Please look into this issue as I otherwise quite enjoy this game
Minor problem: I am having saving issues for the online saves. For the past 3 days I have been playing the game will say that is was saved online when I click it but next time i open it it resets all the progress I made like I had never opened it last time. I can use the manual save files to try and recover but this is a problem that might need looked into for the long run.
this might be because the game will load the browser cache save first, and only load the online save if it can't find it at all. i haven't yet made it load the newer of the two. so if you get an old save, try manually clicking the "load online" button and fetching the online save :)
Just a couple of ideas I had to make the game much more enjoyable:
Stonehandge x3 staff cooldown to x3 staff power, This will massively reduce clicks for spells as to really go anywhere you need lots of clicks in current build
Forest Berries perk changed to give fairy trees more food and not farms, Cows from homestead help farm but not fairy tree. (Food gain overall is badly wanted)
Minor oversight: With druid grove we don't have a way to unlock soldiers only archers or 5 million from a king decree. Might want to look back at this build
I played this game for a couple of weeks when it was new and now I'm returning to see all the wonderful updates that were implemented. I have read over the changelog and love the new bats but wonder if you are going to have any more relic earning events in future updates. I missed the time to get those apparently. Anyway really like your game and enjoy the updates
I have been playing this game for the last 24 hours, love the concept but the save feature just doesn't work. I have had to restart my progress several times because I tried to check for updates to the game. Also your save to a file idea while very nice just plain does not work. I tried that in both Firefox and Chrome and it failed to save to my desktop. My suggestion is to save it export a save code on screen that players can copy into their own text saving systems. While it looks like your game will try to save a file, it seems to fail every time. Again Love the concept and style of this game, I hope you can fix this error in the next few updates. I will check back in soon to see how its going. Thank you so much for making this game and responding to us players.
I too thought the valentine event would last till the 23rd, What happened to the hundreds of hearts I was collecting for some of the later Prizes? I just looked int he store and they are 100 and 200 diamonds respectively and I feel that all the hearts should have been turned into diamonds (at a ratio that is fairly accurate compared to how long it takes to accumulate hearts compared to diamonds). I hope this issue is addressed and resolved. -PS. Big fan of your game been playing for several months now and still love it.
