The hard badge isn't so much hard, as it is luck based. My perks were Armour, APC, Uranium core bullets, and energy shield. The truck was just for the initial army building. Unlike normal mode, on endless you're thrown into tanks, helicopters, and everything with no build up period. So I used the truck to just dodge around as many bullets as I could, and went straight for the cages to start up my army. The luck part comes in right there, because you don't want any riflemen. Even after the truck explodes, if I busted up a cage and saw a grenadier or a riflemen, I skipped them and waited for marksmen or rockets. And just use your special whenever things look tough because you'll be invincible for a short period. Once the screen is cleared it becomes easy again and by the time you need the special again, odds are it'll replenish. It took me a couple times, my first attempt getting me to 1922, but that was just foolishness on my part. Good luck!
So few games of this size leaves you walking away with a smile. The story was great, just like the first one, but I didn't really like the combat instances. They were just so simple. But, this game, like the first, is more story involved than anything. So it doesn't affect my opinion on the game as a whole too strongly, and still warrants a 5 :)
Someone out there was probably really disappointed when they moved into my town with the promise of daily golden showers, and only saw actual raining gold
The hard badge was actually super tedious.. but if you want some tips, if you lead into the 50-60k stage with a good amount of speed, you can rely on coasting a lot. Try to maintain the speed between 4-5, and then once you hit 60k, just dodge and attack when it's sure hits. You barely have to kill, just keep above the lava and you'll get there with the speed left over from the previous stage.
I had the strangest bug. llehctiM wasn't following me around the house (and for about 20 minutes I thought that was by design) and the backwards note never appeared in the bushes. I finally had to look at the walkthrough to see if I missed something painfully obvious. Refreshing it fixed it though, so it's not exactly a game breaker. Good thing there's auto save
There are 196 countries in the world. At 900 Newspaper Delivery's, I am making about 3.973 undecillion dollars. Assuming that the delivery men can reach every single human being (approx. 7.2 billion) in the world, and they're all signed up for a subscription, the price per newspaper delivery would be about 551.805 Septillion dollars.
So I'm guessing buying in 10's is cheaper, because I just bought 3 single banks to make an even 300, and now the oil only costs 232.879 quin to make it to 310. And the bank costs 331.521 quin for the same.
A great thing to have when it comes to buying weapons would be to have a range stat, that way we could know how close we have to be before our weapons fire off.
Last level:
First shot on the corner of the 50" to knock it over.
The triple shot, I just blow away the LCD Monitor.
Bouncy shot is used to knock over the bookshelf.
Just drop the exploding shot on the barbecue, then blow it when it's resting on top.
Laser the fridge.
Machine gun the living hell out of the entertainment unit
