A few tips for the hard badge:
You only have to beat the last level, if you're struggling feel free to use skips.
On the final level, use the neutral buildings on the left as a path to get to the top left lab, you can use that to capture the forts with 100 units for a big boost and way to reduce the incoming strength of enemies.
Excluding fortresses, the best time to capture a building is after it's been upgraded by an enemy, the second best time is after it's been captured by someone else, and the numbers are still low.
Labs kick ass. Not only are all the abilities crucial to winning (always be preparing a frost incase your enemy has a lab too) but they hold lots of units and have increasingly higher launch speeds with upgrades. A level 3 lab can very quickly send a force to capture a recently upgraded building.
Having intentionally bad elements, (fake ads, jump scares, unskippable text) doesn't necessarily make for a witty game. In this case they just serve to be annoying.
If you are stupid enough to do something that someone says is a bad thing you really aren't very smart. Don't blame an otherwise excellent game for one fault.
This isn't a bad game, it just seems like many of nerdook's fans love him for his awesome strategy games. You cant blame a guy for wanting to try and do something different. Everyone has their own preferences.
