I've seen other games attempting to merge together the "three in a row" type of game and strategy/defense. They were getting boring too soon and failed to offer many options. This is the best combination. I give 5/5.
What this game needs real bad is an auto-kick function. I think that afks should be automatically kicked after 30 secs of idleness to allow people who come to play enjoy the game. Also a kick for campers who stay too long in a single area would be a remedy to some games. What's even more amazing for me is that some higher level players with stronger weapons come and camp the whole game.
Stop whining about hackers. Just keep making their game unpleasant by team-blocking and not helping and they'll leave. I haven't seen anyone do it, except for myself. So don't whine about something you can resolve yourselves.
I always compare this game with Populous 2. This game could really improve with more spells. Earthquake was one of my favourites. Also you might add some random occuring creatures, monsters or gods to make it a little less repetitive, like in Populous 2. More achievements would be nice too. The rest is perfect in the game. 5/5
I think roomba's strategy guide is just a strive for popularity. If someone doesn't take into account what his teammates tell him why would he read some guide. Moreover, the only strategy in this game is to learn from your mistakes and analyze what you are doing wrong. It's as simple as that.
