This is a good game. Another upgrade would be a party inventory. if you have a weapon or an item in a characters slot... seems it is permanently lost if you purchase a different better item. This seems reasonable for this version.
The morale cost when the Sarge get's picked off finally is brutal. I'm not sure it is inline with his 12 TAC point cost. Yeah they love Sarge... but don't you think they are gonna fight like Mother F'ers when they see their man get killed? I just watched 3 bad rangered out soldiers run away each with at least 39 moral after sarge died. Those guys would have avenged sarge!
Suggestion: the quad 50 on the halftrack should provide partial AAA (anti aircraft) coverage. It was, after all, an anti-aircraft system.. effective for low level dive bombers (like in this game). I think for 15 TP... 27 total TP I think this would not be an unbalanced upgrade.
this game, while not perfect is one of my favorite flash games of all time.
I first played it back in 2008 and I continue to come back to it. had to start over with a new laptop... but that's okay!
:Last mission the radio says: "Sierra Get down! Listen to his firing pattern. Fire when he is not firing. You can't get down you can't select when you get up. You are waiting for the random luck when the skinny on the technical doesn't just blow you away with the 50 cal before you can take good shots. annoying.
what is up with the over senstive toggle keys. For example: hit reload 'r' one time and it does it automatically rendering you helpless until you are dead. I live in korea.. high speed connection... laptop not slow. why does this happen?
I cannot seem to add new skills despite having the necessary points and level... is there something obvious I am missing? Clicking with the mouse doesn't seem to do anything.
As you can see.. by my past 2 comments.. I really like this game.. but I would rather it be taken down until they fix it. it's not fair to waste good players time....
I think the freeze glitch might happen when:
A) dwarf infantry
B) select specialty ability
C) Move to attack on the same turn (not sure If I move or then attack.. normally I move then I click to attack separately)
this is anecdotal.. but this is a critical failure of the game's code.. it happens at least 15% of the time.. I had to reset everything once because I could not get past a mission without it freezing (6-8 times in a row).
Fix by Monday.. or I will never play this game again and will agree with all the NOOBS who bad mouth it.
fOOking freeze glitch... happens often after turn 3..... use a special ability with a dwarven unit (heavy infantry, or elite) and it freezes. God Damn it Age of games.. fix this !!!!
thanks for the constructive comments people!.... The freeze bug still needs to be fixed.. but this game IS worth fixing.. and is good enough that it is worth playing even with glitches. There is alot of dimension to this game that other tower defense 'strat' games don't match.
This is chess... with flanks, terrain and range attacks as well as special bonuses.
Many other strat games on kong (and all others) are checkers by comparison
hmmm... apparently I'm not very good at this.. lol... decent but not great. Would be better if you could zoom in and out... zoom out as you get higher or faster to let you cut the margin with the water closer
as for the combat.. it is good. I am tired of people complaining about 'only doing 1 damage). read the extended instructions. Units are capable of doing much greater damage if you pay attention to terrain, and also position (avoid head on attacks unless you are using a strong unit against a weak one).
