A couple tips: The best weapon in the game is one of the special weapons: the one that looks like a giant axe. It can do 20 damage. I recommend getting the green totem first because it makes the game much easier. Also, all stats cap out at 20 each, and you can get stat bonus scrolls from the witch for trading in 3 tier III items.
All in all a pretty cool game. :)
Also, a funny exploit, if you have Strength x2 cells in the game, you can move cells back and forth from strength to a regular cell to rapidly boost your total cells.
The game really isn't that hard... Just capture as many cells as possible as quickly as possible then bide your time. You can beat the game in under an hour.
The prices for things seem so wrong... Why would I pay 50 times more for Dealer 3 in Weed when it only is 3 times as effective? The way the price increases, I would need 100's of Dealer 2s before I'd even think about buying the next tier.
It seems like this game doesn't really give much rewards for not idling. Everything has such a huge cost, and the drop rates for bonus money are low, and an even bigger issue for me was that the cool downs for active abilities are extremely high. Really not much incentive to actually 'play' the game.
I have such a huge stockpile or tourney tickets that I know I'll never use all of them. It would be cool if you could trade them for silver or something else.
Good tips. And yes, the Bat'leth is the weapon of a Klingon warrior, it is devastating!
