CHAPTER 1
SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF ALASKA
YEAR: 1990, DECEMBER
Alaska: home to about 700000 people, one of the least populated states in America, yet the largest state in the world. And in this barren tundra landscape, something was about to happen. Every tree and bush held its breath, waiting for that thing to happen, something that hasn’t happened since the dawn of the dinosaurs, something that only occurred twice in 7 billion years…
finks
Finks are a subject of great interest. When you first unlock them, they do overwhelming damage and topples bases in a matter of seconds. Then once you unlock bandito, finks aren't as good anymore. But once fink is level 6, it continues to do massive amounts of damage and can be protected by swarming. Sadly, for similiar reasons as pokey, it has been reduced to just another monster. But they can still be put into a bunker with claws lv 3.
bolt
Bolt. Not your ideal monster to use in the first 20 levels right. Once again, 15d doesn't get you anywhere. But bolts max damage goes up to 55d. With teleportation, in large numbers, they can loot lots of resources and avoid the silo death trap. They aren't good at first, but as their damage increases, so does the interest in them. Unfortunately, once cannons are upgraded beyond level 6, bolts get slaughtered by the dozens. Also the railgun eliminates most bolts, the moment they start attacking. 7/10
Well xxplayer99xx
no matter what level a pokey is, a laser level3 or higher can take it out. Plus, a railgun can take out infinitely as many pokey as it wants. Booby traps can also kill up to 175 pokey. Even cannons are able to take care of some pokey. Take all this into consideration, pokeys can't be good for looting main bases and strong outposts.
octo ooze
the perfect match for pokey, deadly at lv 6, 500 of them can wipe out most defenses up to level 32. in early levels, octo ooze is only used as a distraction since 15 d doesn't get you very far. then once the octo oozes start doing 25 d, large amounts of them can prove deadly. then once you get putty rage and level 4 octos, launch 150 in any yard and watch it crumble. too bad when you get railguns, octos lose some power. not all. they are once again deadly, like pokey, in outpost conquest for the same reasons as pokey.
MONSTERS
pokey
not much interest is put into pokeys. shame.when you are level 5 to 25, pokeys can cause massive destruction. only when a third laser is built and you can have more than 30 booby traps and 2 railguns, then pokey lose their power. but in the outpost conquest, pokeys redeem themselves because you can have 100 of them and can take over most outposts, if not , give u more resources. then once you have like 10 outposts, launching 1500 pokey can still cause destruction and loot resources. pokeys are, in short, a cheap, quick make ,hit and run, and diposable monster. useful. 6/10
ew1 was a simple game with 7 units and not much upgrades.7/10
ew2 was a full blast with 3 factions, 50 some units, titans, spells; unique but takes too long to beat with the lord of hell and "The End". 7/10
ew3 was different than previous ew games. u can control units, there are challenges, less time to beat, different heroes, different abilities, phases, trials. new take on the ew series.8/10
ew4 was like ew3 but u can have multiple heroes and instead of waiting for new units, u can upgrade to unlock ur own units.7.5/10
ew5 is like a combo of all ew games. needs:
better graphics, more heroes, longer campaigns, hard and epic modes, better interface, minimap.overall a good game. 8/10
note. i rarely give a game 10/10 so don't expect one. mediocre games get 5 or 6.
