The unlocked quotes don't even match up with unlocked words, kind of breaks the immersion. What 5 letter word that starts with D did I need for "Half a truth is often a great lie"?
As far as I can tell converting has no real purpose and is awful to use? It gives you a small boost of gold upfront followed by a long delay during which you have to re-find all those words while making zero gold/progress.
Suggestion: Being able to toggle resources like iron, food, etc. to 'auto-sell', unless I'm mistaken iron has no use for a player who is under level 7?
Offline mode has to work for advancing tower levels, or the player has to be able to advance up the tower at will. Once you are going from level 1999 to 2000 you basically need the game running in your browser nonstop to level up your gold profit.
Tip: While ore weapons (the first mining resource) are much less wood efficient, it is still worth upgrading very high in the forge because it is the only mining resource you will have much surplus of, after buildings (at least for a very long time).
Some tips: initiate gold rush when there is a rainbow stage or preferably a rainbow ball to shoot. That will give you the most output. Teamwork (3rd ability) is the strongest by far, so use that to get past bosses. In order to not waste it on a failed attempt (otherwise you are better off using it to farm), first do a test battle and see if you get the boss to 50% or less health w/o the boost first. Go for red block achievements first, then white, then gold. They all give equal dps bonuses but you'll be able to get red much sooner, meaning you the profit bonus from the +3/5% dps profit bonus sooner.
Flak cannon can be near useless if you are grinding against a high health boss. The damage gets spread out way too much. Perhaps it should prioritize the lowest health targets? that means it will most often target reds and at least dent them, or sometimes weakened whites/golds.
Also scale rewards higher, as is your $$$ income is optimized by one-shot kill which takes less time, even if you could fight tougher enemies while taking no damage.
Best strategy for the game: Beeline fully upgraded weapons, go to the zone where you, at least most of the time, one shot enemies. Get 50-70+ miners, they mine very slow so even at that point you'll have too much gold and too little gold/emerald. But with one-shotting, you will only have to upgrade your weapon slot.
Suggestion for some game balance, at least have regeneration work while fighting, it's basically useless otherwise.
Add a research for boosting the number of employees per building, please. Woodcutter and Stone mine really surpass merchandise even if you are only earning 25%.
Here's the order of market efficiency for the various Merchandise buildings. Focus on the left if you are not active enough to sell large stock. Blacksmith > Jeweler > Hunting Lodge > Fishing Port > Vegetable Garden> Hatmaker > Shoemaker > Rugmaker > Meatbutcher = Tanner > Bakery = Potato Field
At least early game, axes are 'extremely' underwhelming compared to a sword + dagger. The latter gives you more balance, similar or greater damage, and extra bonus stats due to 2 items. None of these weapon types get much benefit from spec'ng dexterity, yet axes suffer much more from that (due to a higher damage range). I would suggest that all axes get a quite significant PRT I. bonus to actually make them an advantage in some scenarios, against enemies with high protection.
Refining breaks your loot down into random gems, instead of into gold. And until you are somewhere into the 100s, selling gems gets you more gold than selling items. I am new to this game but I believe it is best to save up your Diamonds, they are expensive to buy, and needed for the magic find gems, which I believe is the most useful enchantment for newer players. It helps you get awesome legendary items.
I think legendary enemies should spawn more often. If you aren't playing hardcore, it seems the best strategy is ignoring the stats which predominantly help vs legendaries, like max health. Because their impact is basically non-existant, when they occur less than 1 in 1500. Or maybe another difficulty could be added, between elite and legendary? Boss type?
An auto-buy gem button would be nice, where you buy a specified gem whenever you have enough gold. I'm still on my 1st play through, but have found I am spending lots of money on diamonds. Refining doesn't get them as efficiently.
Why are red/orange/etc. mobs determined by item level? This forces me to use much weaker, higher level items if I want to fight higher level mobs (since it seems you get a huge damage penalty verse reds, and a lesser one vs orange).
"Wow - donuts make quite the comeback at 1000. 60% of all income following the ideal upgrade path." If your donuts are making 60% of your income at 1000, your path is far from ideal. Lemonade and Oil should both be making more than donuts.
