4 out 5 starts.
The game plays well, has nice graphics, has some interesting strategy.
I'd have preferred better descriptions on the cards.
My suggestions for Epic War 4, if you make it are: have battles be time based, where the defender needs to hold off the attacker for a certain period of time; have territories play strategic roles in the game - terrain effects on troops, special bonuses, perhaps special troops for defenders; have locations where small battles happen, perhaps a max point cap.
arrow towers are better than cannon towers. They damage to cost ration for the best arrow tower compared to the best cannon tower is 1.3 to 1, aka, you will get 1.3 points of damage per gold spent on the arrow tower while the cannon tower you get a 1 to 1 ration. Upgrades to damage from the workshop equate to 19 points of damage per second for an arrow tower, and only 15 for the cannon, since it shoots slower.
Even though it only displays up to 10 skill points invested in an area, you can keep spending and upgrading that area. I put like 20 points in mercenary making 160% more money... which uppped my total score.. which upped the amount of skill points I earned at the end of the level.. repeat
every level, you earn 10% of your income. I managed to make 28k on the easiest level buy only buying 2 partiall upgraded sniper towers. That let me use a level 3 missle silo on the last level... which was over kill.
You know.. it looks anti canadian, but all the info boxes poster at the end of each level are pro canadian. This game really makes fun of Americans..
Regardless.. CELINE DION.. noooo
OK, i beat this damn game. There is a bug that lets you build power stations for free. Got myself about 1700 power.
Get about 12 hospitals by level 51, sell those mines, you wont need em. Don't get too many lazer towers. Disruptors, freeze towers, emp, missles..
The money you get for kills will be more than enough to upgrade your city.. but it will be damn hard.
Did I say you need to cheat? You do.. the game is messed up
played version 1.01 at the main site. Guess what.. I couldn't buy the damn spirit troops! I went through all that trouble to get the level 9 temple and I couldn't hire them.
I was playing the Fire side.. don't know if that makes a difference.
I also don't know if the adventurer camps really gave any troops
Also, what gives with some of the troops guarding resources. Some of the camps have 1000's of troops!
increase your mana recharge. Do NOT increase your total mana pool, as this will decrease the rate at which you get mana. I can get my mana over a million this way.
Also, you only need to upgrade your little teeny fighters and the rate at which you make them. Just max out their stats and keep making them.
Oh, one last request. If I beat a level fast through luck or strategy, I'd like to get a minimum mount of XP. It silly to have to postpone winning just so you can leech XP from the fight.
Problems
* Cannons, barriers, traps ... waste of mana and XP.
* NO Xp cap. Repeat levels to gain more XP.
* Every level looks the same. The only difference is occasionally, you meet a new monster.
Feature Requests
* Toggle arrows on and off. Finger getting tired.
* Hold down hotkey to summon troops.
* Make dragons fly. Give me a reason to aim my bow in the air.
* Add heroes. use one at a time. Spend XP to raise after battle.
* Different terrain. Hills or valleys.
* Enemy siege weapons.
* Enemies that are immune to arrow fire.
* Archer units.
I hope, if the owner makes a sequel, he plans it out to be a little more strategic than it is. As it stands, there is almost no way to win before reaching the final evolution stage, and then its just an issue of saving for a super soldier.
