As someone who played since the shamans could spirit after death and do damage, I say the game has gone downhill. The user maps are the biggest problem, it is rare to see a map now that requires either shaman skill or individual mouse skill, and lag makes it impossible for anyone other than the fastest connections to get first (where as before this last update there was no lag). I just wish there was a no user made map option.
Is acid supposed to be almost useless? It seems like if it touches something below it, it should melt. Not it should melt if it is entirely flush to the next surface... Not a big problem on campaign but on player made levels meant to be acid'd, its a huge thing.
Oh and mine eventually froze on endless level 35, which is good because I was about to quit. Rebuilding small pieces and entire layers is boring just because engys and grenadiers are gods.
I hate how the campaigns are no challenge, yet the infinite mode gets 1 hit kill on earthworks later from any tier 3/engys. It wouldn't be so bad if the cannons didn't all fire at waves of near useless level 1 soldiers instead of the 3 waves of grenaders about to knock down a whole level of wall in a second or 2. Because at this point, they are near superman's health , and 3 layers of greenjackets can't even kill them.
Had the last castle down to 6 hp on hard. I've got 1/1/1 but decent resources and a large castle/wall hp.
No attack card came for about 10 turns of discarding, opponent wins. I'm done with this game.
