Congratulations! You just won the Lasting Legacy Badge and 30 points!
LUCK! And follow what others have said... try to get a game with a lab, hospital, and big farm nearby. EXPAND, EXPAND, EXPAND! Try to be constantly expanding and recruiting survivors. Research the binoculars upgrade ASAP so you can find more people. Once you get a decent amount of people, you can actually fight the jerks.
Took me about 10 tries and several hours to finally get the hard badge!
Why is the "hard" badge named "hard?" Shouldn't it fall more along the lines of "Nightmare," or, perhaps, "Impossible?"
This game was a 5/5 before the retarded hard badge was added. Now, it's a 3, at best. Hardest mode is freakin' impossible.
Very addicting game... needs work, though. The speed of the game is WAY too "slow." Moving around dungeons... slow. Combat... slow. I found it helps a bit to right-click the window and change the quality to "Low," but not much.
Also, a small gripe... it is DUMB that the buff and de-buff spells only last one turn. Enchant Weapon should last entire combat cycle. Corrupt should last entire combat cycle. This where a "Dispel" spell needs to be added. Other than that, this game is awesome! Can't wait to play the upcoming titles!
