@SantasAssassin: Wait about half an hour. It takes that long to register that you got it. It took me a WEEK for the "degrade an item" quest to register as completed - don't ask me why. Badges and quests are slow to reward for some reason.
To get the medium achievement: 1. Max upgrade - it'll probably involve some grinding. 2. Whenever the boss' shields are down, target him. Let the boss drain your shields to 0 (although, if you want, you can delay him by shooting his laser & letting your shield regenerate for brief periods of time - just don't do it forever, b/c you need to kill him quickly) & let him start to drain your armor - just make sure to keep damaging him. 3. Don't let anything break through your shields when the boss' shields are up. In conclusion, remember: you are max upgraded. You have plenty of armor. Your goal is to kill him as quickly as possible, regardless of how much damage you take, so use your armor as a resource and kill him quickly.
@developedby: I don't know about the quests, but the achievements operate on an irritatingly long delay. Don't ask me why; all I know is that I finished what they asked and then it took me another half-hour of playing for the respective achievements to be awarded.
OK, so now I'm on "Just give up" (the last difficult level), and it's giving me trouble too... but "this one is harder than it looks" gave me no trouble at all. Apparently the predictions of difficulty are about as accurate for me as are the predictions of Windows loading/copying/etc. times. :P
@vuhienlog: No, I'm actually not pretending. I honestly haven't seen the comment to which you are referring. If you continue to say that I am a copier despite me not knowing what I am copying from and not having heard of the game on which this comment was apparently made, I will dub you a troll, an prime example of how you cannot expect people to be reasonable on the internet, and move on.
I don't like it how the orc can't pull the lever - it would be more fun if you could let the orc pull the lever but go down the trapdoor first - much more innovative that way.
@DonavonWhitehand: You can't deny, though, that the gameplay is quite similar... you build things, raise troops, have farmland to get resources, tax your citizens... The things I like about this over Evony is the one-player fights (in the gate) and the lack of a "build things in limited space" mechanic (e.g. things automatically build when they can). While it does have uniqueness, it is still, in many (too many, in my opinion) respects, cloning Evony. It is less of vans being a clone of cars as more recent sports cars being a clone of earlier sports cars... while there are some differences, they are largely superficial - there are too few differences that sufficiently alter gameplay to define this as definitively separate from Evony.
@vuhienlong: What, has the joke been made before on another game? I suppose great minds think alike... or at least, one great mind thinks the same as me :P
Battlefield control FTW. On the last fight, I got their gate and most powerful ship stuck on the outer rotation when (thanks to my ships) neither of the outer two rings could rotate. Because of where they were, their most powerful ship couldn't do anything of significance, and they couldn't summon anything that wasn't stuck behind purple rocks. They only had one other ship, a drone, so I just sat there and took out their base. 5/5 - exceedingly awesome strategy game that I would love to see more of in the future.
BTW, your time-online reward system is off. Sometimes it won't reward me the reward because "login does not meet the required time" until several minutes later. Not an incapacitating bug, but an irritating one. Nice job on the game as a whole, although a few spelling mistakes and bugs bring it down to a 4/5 for me.
