fr anyone having trouble with the badge: Don't waste your money on cannons, they're much too slow, and you'll only get 2-3 shots off per wave with even the most expensive cannons ... instead, get the puckle gun (you DON'T need to get the cannons first to get the puckle gun) ... at the start of a map, don't bother upgrading your walls either, waste of money if you don't have the troops to suppor it ... instead, upgrade to tier 2 infantry, and place as many of them as you can afford on pallisades ...
hmm ... Doctor Klime in area 7 has 2,601,731 HP ... so how the heck am i supposed to beat him ... ? ... every 3-4 turns, he heals himself for 520k-ish as well ... ... ...
this would've been barely acceptable for a beta release ... badges or not, going to give this one a miss till the developers get their act together ...
lucky i remembered to take a screenie at level 58 ... just submitted it now, hope i get my badge soon ...
for anyone who cares, my previously-posted method got me to level 70-something when my fingers got slow switching weapons lol
the badge is EASY ... just follow the hints, selet the MAZEY level, and throw grenades into the entrance, picking up the ammo drops as you go ... using this method, i was on level 56 by the time my supply of grenades ran out ... and hadn't been touched by the zombies yet ... after grenades, switch to rockets and repeat ... your rocket ammo should last anout dozen or so levels at least ...
just adding to my previous post ... fire off your special weapon just before your line of super soldiers reaches the enemy units, to clear the way ... anything that sustains a direct hit will die instantly ... 5-6 super soldiers will wipe out the enemy bunker (at full health) in under 5 seconds ...
once you've got yourself 4 ion cannons, there's no longer any need in wasting your money buying units ... just sit tight, use your special weapon when it's available, and save up until you have enough for a full line of super soldiers to assault and take out the enemy bunker ...
For people getting a black screen instead of the loading screen ... this is not a bug with this game, but rather, with the kongregate site itself ... just kep refreshing the page till it comes up ... i get this issue regualarly all over the kongregate site, including with games i've alread cached ...
Anyone just interested in the badges, take note: while the easy and medium badges are fairly quick, and can be achieved in a few hours, the two hard badges will likely take close to a week if you don't plan on spending your hard-earned kreds!!
the freezing after the doors close EVERY SINGLE TIME is getting to be a real pain in the proverbial ass ... an otherwise good 5/5 game ... now deserves only 1/5 ... you would've thought after 10 months of players pointing out this issu, they would've patched it by now ... so 1/5 it is ...
for the hard badge, i played on the "Bad Pipe" map ... 2x nuke combos on the left side, supported by 4x Big Damage+, all of them within range of both rocket turrets ... on the right side, i built 2x laser rocket combos, supported by 6x Big Damage+, again all of them within range of both rocket towers ... as for upgrading, I upgraded damage and range to max on all the rocket towers, and upgraded 4 times (4 clicks) on the rate for the rocket turrets ... for all the other shooting rockets, upgrade the damage to max only ... if you placed the big damage+ correctly, none of them require any range upgrades ...
not the best set-up, admittedly, but if you're just after the hard badge, this is easy to se up, and will net you 2k+ kills on extreme ...
Plus this if you found it helpful.
controls are difficult to use, inventory system is awkward, uests are unbalanced at the start, too much randomness in hit damage and rate, not enough infrmation about what skills (or stats for that matter) actually do ...
