What is the point in not telling players that they can only buy one of two branched evolutions? I would understand hiding the whole tree, but not not telling players you can't have both, aerobic respiration and photophosphorylation...
Medieval Cop I: a drunken cop solves a case. Medieval cop II: a drunken cop saves a dragon. Medieval Cop IX: Archangel, Devil and a cop with Death's abilities fights for a fate of the world with an old God.
About math. When you multiply a number *20% its like multiplying it *0.2 so you actually should acutually LOWER the weapon damage/ armor HP. You need to multiply it *120%.
I am not sure, but auto move should trigger after 1h of inactivity and every 1h. Sametmes an event triggers which actually just ADDS more food to your area. Are you sure that when you "auto move" to another arena there isnt text "The arena has had an influx of food" (it dissapears after ca 1 min)?
How to not run out of food: rush evolution till you get choice between flagellum and cilia. Choose cilia, buy 30 cytoplasm and 25 cilia, then rush evolution again till you get flagellum. Buy 15 flagellums. This can be bought before 1st move. Keep cilia:flagellum near 2:1 ratio and when you have "scarce" food, dont buy anything if your food drops below 1.5k after the purchase. When you get possibility of buying multicelluar, dont do it immediatly, buy extra 5-6 evolution points before buying multicelluar.
The tooltips do need work to better explain stuff. How would you word it to make it better understood?
