Things to fix asap:
Medic's lousy AI.They will go from one end of the battlefield to the other through fire(suicidaly) to heal a guy hurt one point worse than the guy they were working on.
Pause,it does not work sharply,your units stop shooting but the enemy units peter on for a bit,and air strikes and arty keep going if they are in progress..if using airstrike to cover movement and need to pause this sucks.
Troop movement:(Tip:troops will move when they think it is safe)or when they are done emptying thier weapon 10 times at nothing,Medic will move only when it is unsafe and then will stop mid path to tend thier own wounds which they got because they were stupid enough to move when it was unsafe....who is recruiting the medics?they should be shot.FIX THE MEDICS.
bah -
Proper Planning op:I had saved 150+ points and was building on that doing the "Proper Planning" op over and over,for one huge mother op I was going to do...but no...I come back one day later and my points are set at 0...all that work gone...thanks...my rank and ribbons saved fine so saving at all is not the issue....thanks man..I see you did those updates real fast after posting this game because,well...it needed it..but nothing since then..give up?
Too much negativity to read anymore?
Why not properly debug your game next time before posting it.
Why dangle poison candy in front of people...
As said many times before:
Great game with great potential,made incredibly infuriating by multiple bugs.
Mmm also,if I switch the music off,that means I want it to stay off till I turn it back on.When you go to the next scenario or have to retry a level,the music comes right back on again...I ain't dancing man,I's playing a flash game.
The last one,number 2,had on the maps an indicator of which way enemy units were travelling in order to get past you...this one does not that I can see so often it is difficult to tell one when is going to escape or be knocked back...particularly on maps where there are multiple entrances and exits..also,there are multiple weapons but the campaign forces one to use weapons not of your choosing,what then is the point of being able to choose between 4 weapons?..really liked the last version..a lil more than this one..tweaks needed.
Silly:
Merely a test of luck and patience,no skill at all involved.
And now that I have all the badges/points Kong thought to attach to this game,my patience is at an end.
@Stev0: blah blah? Faith obviates proof.
@mariuana: Hmmm a weed-head angry christian...what would Jesus think/do I wonder....I expect he would hit you in the face with a rolled up newspaper and tell you to shut up and sit down before he takes your bong away.
- bao.
Again,the Germans have overrun my position...one wave of them was at the top of field of play,I had 1(one)...count'em: ONE cross on the board indicating one German had passed my position..I guess 9 stealth Germans just waltzed across the board huh...Ninja-Krauts...nod.
I sure as shit know it wasn't 9 German snipers all crossing the bottom border simultaneously.
Horrendous bug....or is it?If it isn't a bug at least derrivate from your credo of not issuing instructions/rules enough to explain why it isn't.....please.
Did you try to debug this game at all before posting it?
3 times I have bought a bunker and gone to place it and no bunker was placed.My engineer was in range,points were deducted....15 points lost.
Bugs man,as mentioned so many times by so many people.
I am going to have to lower my rating because you could not work the bugs out to a minimal degree before posting this game which I otherwise love to play.
I wouldn't bother to post a damn thing if I didn't think it was worth it.I would just stop playing and go do something else.
But your game could be so,so great.If only you fixed the bugs.
The balance is fine...as long as bugs don't exacerbate the exsisting difficulty....which they frequently do.
Still seeing games end with seemingly random German overruns of my position,
In latest instance I had no crosses(each representing one German having passed my line),I had both points and troops left..all of sudden:Game Over..why?
Was my position flanked outside of the field of play?What would that have to do with MY game,MY field of play....this is why you get nasty comments and loving comments:
Great game with horrible bugs that come close to ruining it.
Please take this as intended,which is as someone who loves your lil flash game but would like to see it fixed so it could be near perfect.
It occurs to me,that given the tactical circumastances one finds oneself in during this game,and given all the pics you use in it,it might make more sense if the player was the Germans,and the "enemy" was the allies...aside from and political corectness issues.
Historically there are only a few instances after D-day(which is where you place this game)where the Germans had such a definitive upper hand Vs. The Anglo-American/Free French....just a thought.
To everyone having save problems,the game is autosaving fine for many people.
It might be cookie based,not sure.
But if yer setup is not allowing cookies from here that might be the problem.
It would be cool if the developer let everyone know what specifically was up with that.
It would also be cool if as units gained exp they could stop flaming up completely disabled enemies,it wastes time and ammo ;) They are more combat-wise as they gain exp..why not have them reprioritize targets when the current target is totally disabled?I can see a newb tenderfoot soldier shooting a guy till he is juice,but a veteran?..No.
With respect I would like to say that
perhaps why people are hating and loving this game so much is that it is really great with so many blatant flaws at the same time..this is highly frustrating.Maybe you posted this game far too soon..much more work on fixing the lil buggies might have given quite a few less headaches and certainly many less angry/rude comments...once again I say this with respect,I would not bother to comment at all if I did not think the game was worth it....thank you.
Thanks for the work with the updates.
Concentrate fire is still costing one point.
Medics need better AI,they cross the battlefield to help a guy hurt 1 point worse than the guy they are working on..then go back and forth between them as they heal:idiotic ;)
Action/Unit/Improvement buttons on the left and right sides,the msg banner at the top,and the tac point bank marker/star all obscure action and looking at units on the field of play.
Impossible to look at units closely packed with any accuracy...needs some sort of sorting viewing mechanism improvement.
Bunkers have a distinct sweet spot for protection right near the center,towards the edge of the bunker the protection seems to be much less,this needs attention.
Exp cap for units seems to be 100,why this limitation?If I can last that long or longer why not reward it?
more next post:
@ColdStone17 -
If all your live & ambulatory units pass the top of the play area,you advance to the next play area up..each of these is a unit of ground gained.
Is game progress auto saving for anyone at all?
Can the developer please let us know what is up with that?
If there is no save this is a gross oversight.
Love the game.Still needs more tweaking,most notably for me is the buttons for units/actions/improvements on the left and right side of the play area obscuring action and looking at details of units,the tac point bank star/marker is also in the way,as is the announcement banner at the top center.
Also a deselect unit button would be nice.So if you select a unit and decide not to move it,you can cancel having that unit selected.
If there isn't a proper save(perhaps it is buggy?wish we could hear what the deal was on that from the dev.)it should really be priority one eh.I am up to Lt.Colonel with 12 ribbons and really:I am gonna leave my computer running with this up but if I lose all that work,needless to say I won't be rating this game very highly.
Well um...I'd love to be able to say something about this game but:
Earlier today,when I saw it on the Kong intro-page I went to go play it and it loaded right up,and I had to leave right then...So I come back this evening to check it out and it won't load at all..started it up..nothing..went and fed and walked dog..come back...nada...still loading..shame..looks like my kinda game too...tried refreshing,reboot my browser,yadda yadda...nope.
Is it a game of patience,is that it?If I can stand waiting for it to load,I win?
