The easy way for hard gold milestones: Doom Surf - Level 1 Easy Challenge with all maxed stats. Birds - Easy Challenge level 4 on the top of waterfall (5~10 birds/play). Boulder Ride - Any big rock (10 sec only). Worms - Volcanic levels or level 1~2 easy challenge. Fishes - Raining Lizards (before the point when you start, exists 1 fish on a mini-lake, same as level 3 easy challenge) or level 4 in waterfall (~10+ fishes/play) and level 3 (sometimes) inside the mountain of a big rock. There are around 4 fishes on water of some caves of that mountain.
I agree, 400k is way too much. I wish they would have picked something closer to 350k, or even just making it to the end. Even I have difficulty getting 400k, and I've got plenty of practice. And yep. Zones 9 and 10 suck. Learned from that mistake.
Ok, let's play... Oh, a story. Nice. Skip. Ok, balbalbal... Level 1, go. WHERE THE F**K IS MY CASTLE? IMHO, bad idea. 4/5 "caustle" this. Still a good game, but not a EPIC game.
IMHO: 1 - Maximize shield (better than stoptime: 80 mana [against 95 of ST], same duration and your troops never get hit). 2 - Attack fastest as possible, so you can hit the castle before AND after the spam. If you stay on your castle, during your attack you can't kill all titans/epic monsters before you get on enemies castle. Even with shield+rage+wathever on. This won't work on challenge 2: stay with your troops until you have 400 mana, after this, assault+spam shield. 3 - When your units are attacking the castle, use shield ONLY when have something troubling on screen (I mean Epic Monsters OR Titans, 'cause they kill all units that are attacking the castle and you will have much work to arrive in the castle again). 4 - When the shield's time is on 2, use shield again. This make your spell still active.5 - Max all troops that you want to use, for less time (which saves your mana) to destroy/kill.
Epic game. Perfect graphics, balanced dif. The only thing I disliked: On KR, you can make barbarians with throwing axes, but on Incursion you can't attack the air units with the melee-fighters. Btw, still 5/5 for me.
If the Snail can't reach the fridge in time or can't exit the fridge at level 16, reload the page. This make the game more fast (at least a bit), and fix the Eternal Fridge bug.
