easiest to pop greed to 3 pop 2 into attack. buy 1 regen (just in case) and put into greed for another 2. 1 strength. up greed to before diamond. then strength to 1 diamond.
def right after to diamond.
gah.. it stopped loading again... did the same thing when they started with the badges for 2 weeks.
btw demonimp. bigger gems in the shrines usially have a bigger effect. (except the one that changes gem colors)
it's basically if you go for speed you don't send your troops head to head. if you go for str you attack more and meet them in mid path. I went roughly 2 speed the rest str.
I can get 4000 at aerodynamic -1 speed -3
height. meh. rocket+glider max + fuel 70-80%
keep the flight at 3% and 'tap' the fuel to keep the speed at 190-199 for as long as possible. it should allow you to maintain your height + less resistance ie speed loss. once you run out of fuel. stay roughly 3% as long as possible You'll have to add a few points to keep the height loss to a minimum as you come closer to the ground.
at
ramp8
accel 9
resist 10
rocket 10
I can make 7050 meters. while I make 6877 with pe5t1lence's method.
took 10 trys but i finally got 18 days.
best is focus on leveling up the gliders and rockets as fast as possible. though leveling up the other things is good.
Aerodynamic- best after first/second level. Speed- best before you get the second level rocket+ glider.
Rocket fuel.
second best once you get the top/second top rocket.
aerodynamic+ glider + rocket for the speed achievement last 2 stages.
speed + glider for first level height achievement. (should be your second gained achievement after the first distance one.)
glider + rocket + aerodynamic for height, distance and time achievements. last stages.
hard is pretty much impossible for the first part. regarding the main guns, you're way ahead if you can get 10% of your main gun shots to hit the fighters. at the same time you'll loose if you can only get 10% of your main gun shot to hit the fighters. (too little total damage to offset the total damage they will do to you) this is following the idea that you upgrade your fighters and only your fighters.
in the order of usage low angle, freaky, thrust x3, ski, ski, ski, freaky, freaky.
I got up to 8300m with that at roughly 70% power and full gunpowder. ignore the high scores with more than 4 digits. it's just hacked.
buy order I'd state freaky, ski/coke coke, ski coke, ski, freaky gunpowder gunpowder, freaky, gunpowder creativityx3
