More info on upgrade problems: I just chose twice in the same game the 3rd laser upgrade. First, this should not be possible at all, second, there still were only two laser rays visible. Does anybody else have similar experience?
There seem to be several problems with the 3rd and final upgrades. Wave of missiles should launch every 2 seconds, but remains at the 7 second rhythm. Other 3rd upgrades just will never appear, instead you can select the 2nd upgrade of Shields Offline, even though you never took the first one. A shame, it is such a nice game...
nilep122, about 622965: Do not take too many cities too early, but get some ports (Montevideo, Wuppertal). Spread a few small armies around Poznah to slow down Blue. Get Brussels, Orebro, and slowly move north. The Washington Area stays unclaimed for some time. Wait patiently for an occasion to defeat Blue. The rest should be easy.
@Generalfletch: Send your first army to your north harbour, then go NE and conquer some cities / harbours there. At the same time, take the second city and the second harbour. Send some weak navies north to slow down Red. From the NE cities, wait for a good moment, then rush the Red capital. Clean the rest of the map.
@makariospollos: And still you come back, and still you insult others. So who is the retard?
Of course the game is not perfect, the AI sometimes plays poorly. But if you play green on hard mode, for example, almost every map is a challenge.
@makariospollos: Only speaking for myself. I give you "-" because
1) you sometimes write Turkish on an English website
2) you are rude (especially when writing in Turkish!)
3) you keep coming back to a game you hate.
Lobz: Use a Scroll of Enchantment on the staff. With some luck, you can loot better versions, or buy them at merchants. There are also some items that will increase your magic powers.
The game plays quite differently as a maxed out Warrior (Melee, Fortitude, Focus) with a +8 Long Sword (28 damage!), and a +5 Dragon Scale Armor (plus some other armor). Not one decent ring, though, but you cannot have it all! :-))
