It's not just you mittens. I think Failure at the beginning is a key factor to this game. The cool thing about the protector series is it's almost a puzzle getting the right mix of units in a map. I'm hoping that normal quests continually pop up. because I have failed a few I'd like another crack at.

I love this game. it is the best destressing while at work game on the site. the ability to make your own mp3 levels just makes it that much more brilliant!
