Hi, sorry about the late reply ...the truth is: the crystals are currently missing. I thought I will quickly add them in the next update but they are still to do, along with a few other updates like the ability to "train" creatures: buying XP for gold. ...stay tuned.
This game is really unbalanced. You can only get +1/turn card in communications and media. To get 12 colonels and win the game or to conquer the map after you lost your supply head is impossible. Quite frustrating game. I've managed to get to 284/300 turn, but never again...
Hi Vodor: First off, thanks for posting. I can see from your profile that you know your way around video games, and I appreciate your feedback. Perhaps more aggressive use of the intelligence/ next enemy card feature and GENERAL STRIKE cards could help you avoid losing your supply head. I played the game last night, and I management to win a MAJOR VICTORY in 166 turns. Capturing the enemy supply head in the SW corner of the map early in the game also helps to mitigate the risks associated with PRAETORIAN GUARD and MARTIAL LAW cards.
