level 29 is stupid. I almost won twice, but then got bombed and died, cos my base was right in the middle of one of the bombs and couldn't get out cos there were bombs surrounding the other bomb as well. I mean, wtf? The comp didn't get any bombs at all, for like five minutes.
Keep using gas to win. Kills enemy soldiers instantly but doesn't affect tanks. When they deploy a tank just use fire support to destroy it. Won mission 8 that way without losing my first tank. Oh, and upgrade your fire support so that it has a lower deployment time.
I hate how luck-based the beginning of the game is...I had the same problem as KimoKeine, plus on one game I only needed 2 aether quantums to win and my 7 quantum pillars didn't give me any for two rounds while every other element got at least 2...very frustrating
