A very good ifea for a game I kinda like it, but I jsut can't get trough the 4th level! Maybe with a lot of practice I could but I hate to start the whole thing again all the time! Why can't I just start again at the level I died?!
(stupid site engine cut off the 1st part of my comment, so here it is)
That under 19 days achivement really should have been rated as impossible instead of just hard: it was really a pain in the a** to do it and I needed a bunch of luck too. Also 6000 m is pretty hard to achive even with all the upgrades!
I liked Castle wars 1, and this one was promising too. It improved a lot. My only problem is that to unlock some very good cards you should beat the hard mode, but that's impossible unless íou are very lucky! Becouse you start with nothing but the enemies start with lots of rescources, and also they own all the cards! (Thus it will bomard you with sacrifices if you could be able to get some men.) I tried building a deck in wich there are lots of recruits, builders and mages, but I can't ave more than 5 of a card type! So I tried to make the deck very small to let those 5 cards be a large percent of the whole, but I can't make it smaller than 75! So I'm totally screwed, there is no way I could improve my chances!
The AI in this game is very stupid, much more than in the previous ones! It sends units into their deaths, and builds inapropriate units. Like on level 4 in kept sending the spider tanks in the range of my mortar wich destroyed them in 1 hit. Sometimes it sends a unit near mine but doesn't attack. It doesn't protects its Warmachines. I've never seen it building any other air unit than Condor bombers - wich are easy targets without fighter support. It always tends to build the most expensive units, thus deplets its money very fast, and since thos units will attack without support they are dispatched with relative ease. And then it can't defend against my assoult since it doesn't have enough money.
Btw I was talking about the hard mode.
It's a pretty good game with very ipressive graphics. Actually the graphics made me like it, the gameplay could have been better. My main cocern is that you can shoot only in one direction, but some enemies (the flieing ones) can come from any direction (mostly from above). They can be killed like this too, and the spread shot upgrade helps too but it would be still much better to be able to shoot upwards (straight and/or diagonally).
The walker enemiesare either very easy or very hard, either can be killed hithout a scratch or couse serious damage. The hard ones are the cultists and those huge bugs, both are fast and have some undodgeable attacks. I don't like if an attack cannot be dodged, it's ok to have some hard guys but they should be hard for some reason other than undodgeable attacks.
This game could be decent but it has lots of big flaws for wich it sucks really bad! It saves BEFORE the battles instead of AFTER them, so if you won a hard battle but don't start another one, you'll have to fight the same battle again! You can only trade 3 rescourses so the white stones can't be traded even though they are the most abundant and they are needed the less! There is always shortage of wood, everything needs wood. Every magic sucks except the whirlwind; but with that any castle goes down easyly, while with armies it's very hard to bring them down!
If you don't understand the game click on the 'HINTS' button at the lower left. There will be a lot things explained!
But if you are too lazy, here are a few things: 1. It's not a randomly created dungeon, and wherever something happens it will be marked, so once you explored you will not run into the same traps again. Explaination marks mean avoidable traps andwhen you fail you always get a hint what should you do. 2. The skills are there just for fun, but the bg stories and SOME stats do make a difference. 3. You can choose 3 items at the char. build screan, some are a must!
Finally!!! After lots and lots of tries I managed to win!
Here is my strategy:
0. MOST IMPORTANT: When The End gets in your range press ASDF and right-click! This will trigger a glitch that makes you autofire. It helps A LOT.
1. Dont waste your mana on dragons unless it won't slow down your angel summoning! (Like if you just summoned an angel and still have about 3000 mana, then it's ok to summon a dragon too. Otherwise you'd better save it to the next angel.)
2. Use the hoobit+elf rush that was mentioned before! Do it by tapping 1 and 2 furiously!
I tried a lot a strategies against The End, but I never been able to get its health lower than 100K! That strategie wich suggest useing only hobbits (+ the tanks) didn't work either, it just involves mor clicking!
The game has very simple graphics but I can get on with that. The sounds are very lame and the gameplay gets boring quickly. But its greatest flaw is that there is no way to aim porperly: even whith the "easy-to-use" guns the crosshair follows the cursor "at will" (I mean randomly)! It would be ok if some guns (the heavy ones) crosshair would follow the cursor slowly, but this sticky and jumpy following is really bad! My dude got killed becouse this: the crosshair sticked at a point and refused to move!
Buy the way there is no significant overpressure in a hole, even if it is more than a Km deep. Overpressure is an issue only underwater but not underground - except if you are burried but in that case you have other things to worry about.
I somehow managed to get to the end. Well, if I called the game unfair before, I don't know what should I call the final boss! There isn't even a remote fairness in that battle! I have a lv. 90 shield, but it seems it was a waste of ether to upgrade it so much becouse even the bosses henchmen can kill me in a second if I'm not fast enough! The boss is so fast I don't think I could upgrade my engine enough to uotrun it, and it's enough to get near to it to dy instantly! And the worst is that if I go in the opposit direction than it goes, to get away, I actually run towards it becouse it will appear at the other side pretty soon. So I try to rest at the middle and shoot in its direction but no luck becouse if I see it comes in my direction I'm dead alredy!
