just to give perspective on the ratio of going out to not going out on the first contract of the last location, I just didn't go out on the first round for the first time after 63 games. And then I proceeded to go out on the second round. Completely foolproof!
I know this has already been said, but since it is actually game changing, i'll say it again. By repeatedly doing the first contract on the great wall of china, (last location) you are guaranteed to go out every single time and you always go first, so it is a given, I got the hard badge in a single day and I am well on my way for the impossible badge.
I find myself more often then not going to complete a contract and putting my card justa micro inch too far to the right and it puts my card in the discard pile and it has got to be the most infuriating thing in the world.
I've got a couple things to say about this game following getting the hard badge on this fine Easter. First, to put into perspective, it took me roughly 12,000 kongpanions killed to beat lvl 100, which is three times as many as the impossible badge says. Another thing I have to say, is the steady difficulty progression of the game is nonexistent. It took me an actual month to finally get lucky to beat lvl 92... And then I first tried lvl 100 with zero difficulty. If I could give this game 0 stars, I would, I got my badge, I'm happy, goodbye forever.
This game is the last one I have for the Iron Fire and Explosions and it is pretty enjoyable and a lot less painful then the others. :) (Ahem, mergest kingdom...)
TIP: The best way to progress is to start new raids every time you get stuck on a level. By doing this you will get more medals which means more goods and also more common cards to start getting more heroes which will really speed things up, after doing that, you'll be cruising in no time.
Any level with a high concentration of squids and high level eggs is a recipe for disaster. I used all of my powerups on lvl 70 and had nothing left for lvl 80.. This hard badge has given me severe ptsd....
