I'd hate to make a double post but i just have to say that the madagascarian people are the most genre savvy society to live in this game, not hating or liking them, just stating the truth. if this were to happen in real life, expect them to be aware to the maximum degree, you know you'd go there too if you had the chance.
The only thing i wished would be changed would be the health part, i don't know how much i have in and out of battle ( aka the frontier ), so sometimes when i fight enemies i may have 100 Hp, but then after i finished a battle and continued on my journey for about two trips ( which is a decent amount of time to gain back HP ), i only have about 50 - 70 HP left to defend myself. i just don't know if I'm safe to move on or not.
Woah, got to the part where the marksman use muskets, yeah it's definitely being an addition to my "modern army" ( barracks, artillery, and now rifleman ), great job ironhide, just excellent!!!
During the early stages of the game, i loved to use the barracks and artillery mainly since they have the feel of a "modern army" where the troops are supported by bombardment, it's just that feeling that makes me like that combination.
still though it's a magnificent game, if soldier's could have a greater range of movement, and have something like crossbow soldiers that would be pretty awesome, but that's just my opinion.
One of the most fun things about the game is going back to the easy levels and using the variety of weapon types of the flak for fun.
for example, you could either go max damage, max accuracy, and max shell speed for a super strong "sniper", or you could use full rapid fire and ammunition for a machine gun. and then again, you could max all of em and go overkill lol
the problem with challenge 4 is the shield AI, the thing is that the "dragon" will only fire at a certain distance so when the shield is up close, it won't fire at it and so when sword goes too close, he gets killed. when shield is a good distance away, dragon fires at him. however trying to maintain shield at that specific distance and getting sword to take potshots all while tracking the dragon's movements can be irritating...
