This game is awesome.... i did not not see that coming, all my work, 4 days of working on that tree, and what does it do? Attack me! Trees these days -_-
If your having trouble getting gold leaves, all you need to do is pay aggressively; Plant plants next to the crystals and use symbiosis immediately , Also Pausing helps alot :)
i experimented with tactics on easy and tried it on hard... The best tactic so far is make everyone a soldier exept 1 person who should be a Leader so that you can recruit more people and have more soldiers :) about 15-20 soldiers defending should cover your ass when you are trying to destroy the portal.
173 Days 23 hours and 15 minutes on easy DAAAAAYUUM but most of it i just put fast forward and played on different games so i could get richer and richer theres an easy tactic for it but i forgot after the 2 hours i just spent finishing the game XD
