I figured the board would kill me after I rose to power so they could take over, so I just made myself immortal and invincible. I figured I could do all the other stuff later.
*SPOILERS*
Shadowlord, killing a god kills every being they have created. So solution 1 is bull. Solution 2 is equally bull, for roughly the same reason. We killed God in the same way he killed Faith. Empowering an Entity such as Stan is effectively the only solution, assuming that God and Faith are wrong and the species on Earth are not inherently evil.
But the species of Earth are destined to conquer the entire universe! I wanted the morality here to be as ambiguous as possible; no one is purely evil or entirely free from evil.
FireNinja, try completing all objectives in a quarter--upgrade the tower, mine and guards fully and remove all threats. You won't have to worry about the attacks on that quarter anymore.
Sox, I'm playing a melee character right now, and if you spam Sprint+Ram, Leap and LMB while they're on their asses, and make sure to keep out of the reach of your enemies (the Ologs especially), it's not that difficult to survive without poisoning everything constantly. That said, poisoning everything constantly is *really* fun.
Cyberjar, in the previous games the Orcs were all Zombies. Besides, even assuming there were living Orcs, that's like asking how humanity survived 1000 years to appear in the last game.
About the "pay for the weapons so we can save humanity!" thing: the way I've been thinking about it is that you're paying for the materials from outside the city to allow the blacksmiths and masters to craft the weapons and poisons and such for you. The Master of War has all his weapons ready, but he's an Orc--he's only helping you because you proved yourself to be awesome, and he still expects you to pay for his wares. The money represents the resources the King is making available to you, not actually currency; again, the only exception is what the King sends you to pay the Master of War with.
Noah, if you'd read the intro, you'd know. They reveal pretty early on that this epidemic is a thing that happens every 500 years, in-universe, and everyone seems to forget it between events.
The King /was/ selfish, but at the same time he was making intelligent choices. He saved a major city from drought at the cost of a smaller one, killed a dragon in order to keep his population fed, and sacrificed a small unit of soldiers so that the main contingent could obliterate the remainder. His advisers refused to look past their emotions to see that.
Long Answer: Oxalia, more or less the computer slowly gets frustrated with your perceived inability to understand things the same way it does, to the point where it refuses to believe you don't understand that you can't build a computer without collecting the parts first. Eventually it attempts to cut itself off from contact with you by removing your hands. Short answer: You're the problem. It's you.
Raise Dead is a massively underpowered ability. The other races have screen-clearing abilities with no negative repercussions on their own units, and the Undead get an ability that sends a bunch of weak skeletons charging forward? Really?
@Joona, include some useful information in your comments (explaining what the break is and how it occurred, for example) and you won't have to worry about your comment being 'randomly' down-voted.
My favourite thing about this game is shouting "ALL YOU ROBOTS AND SPIKES AND DEATH-TRAPS ARE COINS NOW!", followed by maniacal laughter and compulsive swearing.
