Fastest way to earn morale: Use Fighter to unlock Ranger, then Sniper and Runner perks. Unlock tower. Switch to Ranger, enter tower. Upgrade dog x3, get Poison Arrow, then Sense Danger (to speed things up). Skills: Dog, Arrow, Poison Arrow, Fireball, Sleep. Kill 1 at a time, always walk/wait to refresh all skills before your next aggro. I got to 50+ on my first run (20k morale). Pls upvote for visibility.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE MEDIUM BADGE: "unlocking" a character requires both beating that character in a fight AND purchasing the character in the store. Because this wasn't clear I finished the game on hard then half-finished it again on medium before figuring this out. Also: TO BEAT HARD MODE IN YOUR SLEEP: Max the poison skill and do the secondary quests Trickster Show and Eastern Warrior. Don't even use soldiers, just kill the boss with poison. You can complete the Trickster Show in literally 3 seconds. It's like printing free money. Upvote for visibility.

To beat game easily: Skills - 3 of each of the top row, buy grenade but leave at 2, in the third row 3 of each except max item rarity. When you level, alternate increasing your damage and your ship's. Save 10 crystals at a time. Time your selection, get the lightning weapon and the red laser, then use crystals to upgrade them. After this you'll be OP. Now just sell your drops and wait for good rare items in the shop (ones with XP% and gold%). Once I got those two weapons every level finished at 100%.
Rules for maximizing VIP level:
1. Clear rooms one at a time. If multiplayer, stay together.
2. Step into a room, then back out, let mobs come to you.
3. Clear the entire house before opening any safe rooms.
4. Find VIP, get to fountain outside house.
5. Set 2 turrets at fountain, lure mobs from helipad.
6. If VIP has good health, lure mobs from South yard.
7. If VIP has good health, clear rest of house.
8. Take VIP to helipad to end mission.
Equipment to beat Space Cargo :
Mark-V-SM
Mk-III-IF
Mk-III-G
Mk-III-F
Mk-IV
Radar-2
Improved Head
Forsage Engine
Cooling System
Refuling
Built-in Cistern
I also had all upgrades maxed, and a number of boosts from completed Achievements (but not all). If you're stuck, look through the Achievements for ones that might help.
Ignore gates. Pick up all the fuel you can within reason, even if it means flying sideways for a bit. The boosters are important. You need the speed they add, but make sure they don't run out of fuel.
Once you reach space the cargo weight drops off and the ship will be so fast that you'll have to manually turn off the engines to keep from hitting things. I was able to land on Mars with the entire rocket intact and a 100% full tank of gas.

Three suggestions:
1. Have a Reset Game feature in the menu so you don't have to refresh the page.
2. Have Months Till Winter on the main screen so you don't have to go into the menu to see it. Maybe call it Months Left to save space on the screen.
3. Use the A key for harvesting. This keeps the A key the action key. It's confusing to have to stop and think that no, to harvest I have to use this other key.
1. AFAIK there's no way to assign a bomb to a slot, so if you put a spell in slot 1 you'll never be able to use bombs again.
2. After I beat the mage it told me to go to the surface. I've read through some of the comments here and I see the dev reply that going to the surface is a reference to the next game in the series, but at the time I wasn't sure. So I went back to level 16 to see if there was now an exit to the surface. I found the mage again, but this time the exit door was open, so I ran past him and went to level 17. Level 17 was empty but had chests and a boss battle - the mage again. I beat him, got the same message, and resurrected again. I thought maybe now there'd be a way to get to the surface but this time on level 16 the exit door didn't stay open. So I'm stuck always having to battle the mage on level 16 and then resurrecting. Based on what I've read in the comments I'm guessing this was a bug. Pretty cool one though :)
Let me be perfectly clear why this game is 4 stars not 5. I've spent about 3 days trying to get the hard badge, the closest I've gotten is 14 floors completed. Even a run through 1 floors takes 2 hours. If I had a save point at every 5 floors I could pick up at floor 10 and waste an hour or trying to get to 15. Failure to reach 15 from there would be frustrating, but not so bad. When I waste time repeating levels 1-10 over and over again only to die on floors 12-14, frankly, it pisses me off to have wasted so much time getting nowhere. And pisses me off to know that if I want to make another run it means wasting even more time. At some point it's just not worth playing any more.
Giving this one 2/5. This is the 3rd game I've seen from you guys that uses the same menu, just with different icons. You guys obviously have the graphics and stuff down pat, try adding some creativity to the menus. Also, this game needs a button or slider to speed things up, it takes forever. I'm not even going to waste my time trying to get the impossible badge.
2/5 - I think the biggest problem is that the playing screen is too small. When I try to select a batch of seeds I overshoot the playing area and I have to re-select, which wastes many moves. Also, this makes me select more than one row when I don't intend to (if the playing area was bigger it'd be easier to pick only the ones I want). As pacogoatboy said, the damage seems inconsistant, so some times I'm close to getting a "close call", and other times the tar dies well before they get to the line. Frustrating.
following up on my comment below - maybe you could change the discard so that if you get that card, you play it and it allows you to discard one of your own cards, thus picking 2 new cards. That would be more helpful to me as a player, instead of giving my opponant a chance to get better cards.
2/5 - Some aspects of the game are too slow (like card transitions), while others are too fast (can't read the opponent's flipped card before the next round starts). Card transitions could be turned off in an options menu and you could make it so tapping the space bar moves to the next round, to give people a choice of whether they want to read the opponant's card or not. In general, the thing I dislike about card games is that they are less about skill than they are about chance... whether I'm going to be dealt a good card next or a crappy card. Oh, and the card that forces your opponant to discard? Bad idea. I got stuck with cards I didn't want to use, so I loved it when my opponant made/allowed me to discard them. That card helps your opponent!
1/5 - I played one of the other boxhead games and was able to do ok, but there's no way to get the badges in this game without hacking, which I have no interest in doing. If you have to hack it to play, what's the point.
Save doesn't work. Also, on the bonus map if you try to restart the level the screen goes black and you have to reload the page. On the last level at one point the blue team simply stopped building an army... by the time I cleared out the stragglers and made it to their headquarters they had $10K and 3-4 factories... why they stopped using them I dunno, but I was glad they did.... that last board kicked my @$$ hardcore... need to tone it down some!

Sorry it took a while, once I will get to updating the game, I will keep it in mind.
