That moment you are levelling the field of your city by holding Ctrl and move the mouse around the map, until you need to move the map and you use W,A,S,D while still holding Ctrl... Best case: bookmarked or html save, worst case, window closed...
Some maybe unwanted features if you choose for the 15 minute bonuses jump-start video with the reset:
- Sometimes things go wrong with the video and you and up with a reset without bonus.
- If it does go well, the game begins as if it started already before the video, leaving you with 14 minute bonuses but a lot of research already spent (unguided).
Also, the achievement screen option to show only the important stuff, leaves out any tree that has been completed. It would be nice to see the last achievement of a tree if you completed the tree.
A clear example of why resetting early is better late game: At L21 with R450 you can rush with the Special Deal Starter Bonus to Iron Ingots easily, but then you have to wait for the research to catch up. I went straight to Iron Blade, and am waiting for the Iron Sword to finish it's research. I would like to have more research, but the next researcher costs E29 and will barely increase my research/s until I get 24 more so I can get to R475 to increase the bonus from 260% to 280%. After the bonus is finished, I still need to wait 20 minutes to finish this research for Iron Sword, but I know it will only sell the blades for about triple the worth I get now from them and it will cost a fortune to sell all 50 blades through Swords. So there is no reason for me to wait 20 minutes to get 9 or 10 points instead of the 8 I can get now, and restart again with the bonus to get another 8 points in the 15 minutes of bonus.
Thanks for the insights. I will re-check the numbers of the last few products, when I balance the new ones. But when I got you correctly, it's more the research time that limits faster progression. I will take a look at the research system as well, but probably not for the next update, because I don't want to open another construction site.
@ViraLink: You keep your points and your 17th point will be the 1st from the new game. So you start a new game with the same multiplier, because you are still level 14, but with 16/17 points. So you need only 1 point to have enough for level 15. At level 14 you get 1 point at E14, so you reset very early in the next game to reach level 15. So, in short: No, you do not need to go to E30 in the next game. Hope this helps!
Lol everyday an update? You are doing great! Wishlist for gameplay improvement (you've heard it all before, I guess): - costs for next achievement in research. (because at a certain point, the +10% achievement does way more as the 25 to get there, so your goal is often the next achievement, the +10/+50 options are less useful here). - a retract all vendors button. - a skip this research option (maybe with collide? like do not research collided tech?) - a 'put exactly enough vendors on this to sell all production' option - an indicator for negative production (red ring?) - an indicator for most valued production (gold ring?) - I don't care much about the spacing, when I reach iron, I just drop the wood, copper and bronze era's (and half the leather) to zero so they disappear. :)
Thanks for your suggestions! Some of them are on the list, but not all.
The next planned update will be bigger and take a little longer, so don't worry when there isn't an update tomorow :)
Bug found: If you reset, choose to see the video for bonus, tab out too soon and forget for 15 minutes or so (sorry...), and come back, the video will not load because of an incorrect time stamp error and you reset nonetheless without getting the bonus and with the error message still in screen. Should be: Video was not shown (correctly), thus no reset.
Temp fix: quickly refresh the page and you will continue with the old save pre-reset. :)
I like the achievements! But please make them collide. ~ ~ For near future updates: - A "retract all vendors" button could possibly be in the form of a cyclic 'undo arrow' next to the "Vendors Used" (I read you're struggling with the available space) - And personally, I would really like to see what the costs are for the next achievement. So at 82 researchers, I want to know what 18 researchers costs (as the next achievement is at 100). ~ ~ There is a minor source of confusion: you speak about base units and bonus units, but it is easy to misread and think the total research needs to be X for an achievement instead of the base (you could speak about number of researchers who have an increasing research/s?). Also, for some percentages it is not clear what the base amount is and what the bonus is. You could rethink your wording about base and bonus. Oh and I didn't mentioned it, but I really like the game and you already got my 5/5 last week. ;)
More idea's: --- Golden cirkel around the item that gives most value per cycle to see where my need to destroy my mouse on/put my vendors on (so just which has max. amount*price) --- Speed up research (even more) by clicking on something --- let Ctrl(+Shift)+click on the + and - for vendors be "just enough vendors to sell all extra units, or else max. vendors" and "remove all vendors" --- More stuff, for example: - metal tipped arrows - iron and steel as base metals with iron+coal=steel like copper+tin=bronze - full sets of items for certain professions, in different metal qualities (like a Rogue's Set with leather armour, boots, bow & arrows, etc. and a Rogue's Improved Set with Improved Leather Armour, leather boots with metal studs, metal tipped arrows, etc) (based on the ideas of samalalp and congreperro)
Game says I need a Captain. Game says click on building. Game did nothing while I click on building. I reload game. Game says click on building. Game says click on highlighted crew member to upgrade [to] level 8. Game shows no crew members to click on. I reload game. Game does same since last reload. Game kaput. 1/5
Level 1-20 can actually be done within eight steps, where 9 gives you 3 stars. Unfortunately no extra bonus... 1-20: (3 to 6), (6 to 3), (4 to 7), (7 to 5), (3 to 5), (5 to 4), (5 to 3), (5 to 3)
Greg, if it helps, I don't think it should be a hard badge, that would be an insult to other genuine hard badges. This game has an easy mode which helps you see what is click-able or otherwise interesting. Besides, the most obscure puzzles to me were "move things around in the drawer" and re-use this thing (thanks for the walkthrough). Practically all other puzzles (except "key goes in keyhole") were "find picture of item". I strongly believe that games that come with a walkthrough should never have a hard badge, so you did okay providing one. Thanks again! :)
With Elven, you can use Automatic Casting (60.000 mana generated, costs 100B) and Sun Blessing (cast Moon Blessing during daytime, costs 1M) to grind your total clicks automatically by leaving the game running overnight (300 clicks per casting). Good to have: Angel Heritage, Mana Flood and Spell Fury for extra m/s, thus more Moon Blessings castings per night. Fun fact: the last Elven upgrade increases mana regen with the amount of clicks (total) so it speeds up itself! :)
@people who feel like they solved only half the puzzles, because they could brute-force some elements: A puzzle should not be not-brute-force-able, just because people who try to brute-force a puzzle will feel left-out on the experience of puzzling if they succeed in their brute-force attempt. There is really no logic to that.
A hint to prevent an easy mistake: you don't need every letter of the alphabet from the picture, so don't try to code it entirely (like I did). The picture is a key to decode/encode. Look for the password first!
(2/2) ...Enemies can shoot before you can hit them, sometimes even before they enter the screen. Bosses start shooting away from you below 50% health?!? Completeness percentage is the actual part, not the percentage. 'Install price' is a dreadful solution for more expensive upgrades, and they can be cheated upon (see comment brrndo). World 6 can't be entered after finishing the game (see every commenter). And I didn't even start about how easy, boring and repetitive it is as you don't need to enter the hangar for 10 levels straight. I really love the Notebook Wars series. I guess that's why this game hurts a bit.
Dear developer. I've collected every issue I could find in the game and in the comments. Please, will you make this game worthy of carrying the Notebook Wars title? Here it goes: Plane does not fly to mouse last known position if cursor goes off-screen but just stops (apparently a fix for going back to the center!). Missile barrage hurts the boss even if stated that it would not. Planes can be bought and used even if it is not unlocked. Drone shoots frozen bullets while game is paused. The first non-boss enemy that aims at you comes not before level 50?...(1/2)
The hardest part of Hard mode is to collect all the moneys. The browser implementation of this phone/tablet game is horrible. The game is not ultimate in any way. The game is bug-ridden. The game is in no way an improvement to the previous games. This game should not be here, it should be in Kongregate's mobile games only. 1/5
