LouRock, truly loved this game... And I haven't said that about non-RTS games for nearly ten years now. Seriously awesome coding, it is very difficult to see games with such elaborate combat systems and leveling systems, great job.
I heard your problem about not having enough size space within flash to finish your game and I have a suggestion, only because the story seems too good to waste: Make a new game as The Awakening Chapter 2. And continue from where the story left off. No harm done, no awesome game wasted. I think this sort of division of game was implemented in a few other games too...
But consider it, man, the internet needs more of this game and more of games like these...
Just a sort of hint to new players: When you start off, have at least 5 intelligence and agility. Then, equip knife and keep it till you find the hatchet (and then fire axe). To get out of Rover fights without any damage, try to bring them to one square distance from yourself (with the end of THEIR turn), without taking hits, then hit them once and run as far as you can away from the rover and his allies, do not get cornered. Repeat till you kill/demoralise all of them.
First: Anna and Shane don't have to die. Well at least not both, you just have to figure out how to make sure one of them survives till the end. Yes, I have played it till the end multiple times and have tried every course, literally.
Yo Zombo! Meet Sage here and his best friend 'el Machete' and me and my friend "the Reaper' oh and welcome to 'Kill all zombies with melee to conserve ammo land' Gotta love it 5/5
Survivor: Sir! In the history of our survival we have killed over 100,000 zombies and our allies have killed over 1,300,000 reported zombies! There are 23 other alliances ahead of us now. | Leader: Great, now we only have to perform utter genocide of apparently infinite zombies who are infected people residing in the 'Dead Zone' of Union City.
If the first was a fun zombie-drive experience, this is by far one of the most awesome such experiences. The fact that you can save civilians brings out some humanity in you too, helps you understand situations better... Also the fact that you are NOT being shot at just because you are trying to escape a city makes it more understandable...
I sure wish someone uploaded this game's full version on Kong, just like S&S Emperor's reign. It would be quite nice to play it with all features (quick battle + conquer the realm + full campaign + Survival boss fight)
The only thing that really matters to me is the fact that it IS online and it IS a great game, and srsly, stop complaining about comparatively small issues.
Incredibly good game, nice story-line with an addicting combat system. Represents true Human Survival nature, don't know about Aliens... Wait a minute, where are the badges! Y no badges!
Mission Goal: Hire an army of 20 light infantry, 5 heavy infantry and 5 archers. || Army achieved: 6 light infantry, 1 heavy infantry and 5 archers: You win! Not kidding.
