I think nukes might be great if you are facing an opposing turtle. You have a bunch of Goliath and you are swarming their base, but just can't finish off your opponent. Since apocalypse turrets take up 2x2 and starports 3x3, you can easily have more firepower per space.
Going to take a while to figure out how to use the nuke, doesn't work so well when it hits an enemy ship right next to your station. In fact, doesn't even do enough to take down enemy caps on the edge of its radius.
I just tried the apocalypse turret, I was not impressed. Had three out and they kept targeting the same structure. I found artillery-halo to have much more firepower most of the time. I wonder if the nuke can be hit by phalanx turrent?
Strange, haven't seen this behaviour myself. What browser+version are you running it in, and are you experiencing a low frame-rate? Would love a PM with some info and I'll try to get to the bottom of it
Lv.15 is possible to beat I just beat the game. The last gem is counter intuitive, I keep trying to jump up off the screen. Once I quit and let go of the strategy of jumping up off the screen and started brute force shooting the various bows I eventually shot the right tile and the puzzle clicked in my head.
I give up on lv.15 I've spend maybe 20 minutes on that level, I got all but one gem and then I can't make a jump. Doesn't seem possible, no monsters to freeze just a jump with a row of spikes.
I have a lot of trouble with duels where I start out with only one 500 mineral rock. The A.I. can just get out so many capitals so quickly that all I can do is stall. I use force rounds to keep the ships away, but eventually they just amass and overrun me. Capital ships have so much armor compared to structures.
