I've noticed a big issue with getting new survivors. For some reason, say when I'm trying to get my 9th survivor, I can have up to 10 food and water stored. Once I get the 9th survivor, however, the max drops to about 9.5/9.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
What's up with this?: I go to collect bounties (what I'm about to say happened when I was 5 levels higher than the enemy) and the enemy compound has no survivors spawned. Is this something to do with my lvl in relation to theirs?
The way to succeed: always have at least 3 barracks near the finishing line accompanied by either 2 archer towers or mage towers. Then regroup your barrack men so that they all guard the same spot.
Beat the game wearing a full army uniform with a katana that is sharpened and does 50 damage (and once did 144) and an m24 rifle that does 50 damage, along with an RPG with 6 bullets that does 200 damage :)
