yay, now i got two heal spells, healing my warrior another 42 points, with the Clerics heal, that's 52 from three heal spells! that's so awesome! especially since it allows me to take exactly an additional zero hits.
architect: and the bedrooms go here in the sides of the Living Quarters.
boss: what? no, no. i want just the medbay to go there, i don't want them sleeping right where they gather and eat.
arcitect: so ... where do you want them to sleep?
boss: in the turrets.
arcitect: i quit!
and the "counter attack" formation beats every other formation, but is extremely boring to use. it's really awkward how, unless i'm just always using counter attack (boring), i always have to switch to counter attack to counter counter attack .. especially since different formations place the characters in completely different positions, which means your important central players with buffed stats end up in the corner where they're absolutely useless, so switching formations basically doesn't work either, unless they use the same positions.
also attackers often try to go further forward than the map allows, which makes them run back to the midfield for some reason, forcing you to attack with defenders, which is also extremely awkward.
this game feels like a huge wasted opportunity.
i keep playing this because i loved speedball on the gameboy back in forever ago, and it has all the elements. but the formations and position are horrible. nobody ever bloody defends.
of course there isn't any need to if you spend all the money and overpower every team, but ... winning 10-0 every time ain't fun either.
if they would just defend, that would mean a lot. often they just leave the goalie all by himself.
also passing often passes backwards for no reason, or passes to a character that then runs away, or straight into the hands of an opponent etc.
and the left and right defender are absolutely useless, they never do anything, which makes the defensive formations absolutely suck at defense, because of the lost characters, which is really awkward.
i kept a steady population up to about 2 million, then it yoyo'd way out of control. now when pop is up, they consume so much food, i need so much wood for farms, no other field has any employment, and when i run out of tools, everything crashes down. i probably shuld have had more research center, which was still at lvl 4.
kinda funny. but while they added numerous ways to gain minerals, all you ever really need is parts, and the only way to gain parts is endless, endless grinding.
and pvp is totally lame because it's all about which side has bigger numbers or better ships, which just relies on who did the most grinding/spending real money.
played this game years ago. now, playing it again, i've changed so much. multitasking is far easier now, but perception, speed, memory and accuracy are way harder.
went to the park on day omega. fell asleep. after several minutes, me and molly are still sleeping. no button works.
is that supposed to happen? give me the end already!
