My mini-guide is in reverse order, so start below and work your way up =P
With these levels, you have to rely on your halberdiers sneaking around the power units. Flailers will help a lot, but in the case of the giant-ass-own-your-face-trolls, you are probably going to have to fend off the little guys letting the big guys past, getting a few of your halberdiers through while hold out for the timer. Mage+spinny doom blade at the same time countries can be taken over with units getting past, but you might have to also wait for the timer to save you while keeping a small stream of your units getting through.
I really hopes that this can help you out, good luck finishing the game =)
Now, once you finish off the demons, you should have enough gold to buy the flailer unit. You are not going to be using these guys often, but do buy them. They take 3 times as long to charge as your halberdiers, and do twice the damage per hit. It would be dumb to use them in the place of the halberdiers, but, they are extremely useful when it comes time to drop down your 8 units at one time. In this case, they become extremely effective. They take three times longer to charge, but it is the equivalent of dropping 16 halberdiers, meaning they will basically insure your victory. For the rest of the time, you should be either focusing your halberdiers on a single line dropping 8 flailers when possible. When going up against countries with giant ass troll who will own your face no matter what, anybody with mages, a country that has the 2 sided halberd spinny blades of doom guys, or javelin throwers, you are going to need to spread out your halberdiers.
I see a lot of people asking for help with a good way to win, so here is how I did it with plenty of detail...
To start, choose The Undead. With your starting 500 gold, buy halberdiers. Do the demons first. This is very important, as they get major power boosts if you wait on them, while you hardly become any stronger as you progress. You want to use only halberdiers at this point, as with the Undead you get 5000 gold worth of free halberd power boost at the start of your career. Just keep plopping the halberdiers in a strait line. The enemy may drop a few away from this line, but he will eventually get the picture, and decide that the line you are using is most important. Just spam halberdiers in the exact same spot, dropping 8 of them when possible.
I actually enjoyed the minute long experience. =) I'll give it a 3/5 due to the length... but if you could make a good 20 random mini-games like this one and put them together, I think you would have a real keeper on your hands.
I'm sorry, but this game is boring. It is the exact same thing over and over and over. Trust me, the entire must kill a certain amount of enemies for the door to open things does NOT work here. Besides, the AI is dumb, and you can only die by allowing an extremely large crowd to pile on your area. A little tip... enemies will stand around like dumb asses and let you hit them with the pipe over and over if you are on top of them. This game IS laggy, but it is because of the massive body pile you accumulate by spawn camping the enemy portal closest to the door you need to get past (and yes, you did exactly that.) For constructive feedback... no more kill count doors, maybe add a level up system to add a slight amount of depth. You will kill the repetitiveness by getting rid of the kill count doors, and having long levels with enemies as obstacles, instead of bodies that open doors for you. Add a few original ideas, and this game could be on its way.
For a game that basically relies on getting close to where collisions are... you NEED to have good collision detection! For the love of god, I will get a little bit close to touching a spike and I am instantly shot back to the beginning of the level! For your next game, take the time to have the SPIKES kill you, not an invisible wall that is within the general region of the spikes.
The best way to rob a game of every amount of fun it has: add an achievment that requires you to speed run in about 5-15 seconds less then you always get on a speed run after an hour of trying.
Wonderful game, a 5/5 for sure. The gameplay is deep, with leaves you gratified with every win. My only suggestions could be to add a speed option, as to speed up the game if the player chooses, and make the elite troops a bit more useful. I would rather take 12 dexters over a paladin any day. Ace game man, I can't wait for a sequel.
I lost on level 43, due to a house getting in the way of my glove, then I could no longer use the glove! This is a horrible glitch that needs to be fixed ASAP, anyone who is a protagonist relies on the glove to win.
I really enjoy games like this, keep on doing these kinds of games =) If you want to add on even more, multiple paths are always a plus, and add loads of replay value to games. Great job, 5/5
Very good game, but trying to get the peach pants got me to the point of yelling at the screen every time I killed the snail, and the shell went flying off the wrong side of the platform. I still gave it a 5 out of 5... but on the next game, make everything fun, but hard, like most things are. The fun of the game is sort of killed on the my god I hate this part and if it was at the beginning I would quit, but I got this far so I have to finish it parts.
Well the crosshairs for guns that should be deadly accurate require you to take into account that your guy will shoot strangely, but besides that good game.
I had a wonderful time playing this game, but once you get patriotism+art of war to 100, your army is like... mega ultimate uber pwn everything =P still is fun to watch my guys rip apart the enemies.
