Agreed on the "check twice a day" thing. I have just 2 battles left in the forest for next assimilation, but it'll take me 11 hours to get enough BP, and there isn't anything I can do to appreciably speed that up.
Council at day 51, could definitely be done more quickly, though many story lines weren't completed. Quick tips: 1) if there is a downside to saying no to something you don't want to say yes to, it's often worse than saying yes. 2) Small investments often pay off, big ones don't always. 3) There is one resource you get every day, which is people. You don't get the other stuff every day. Thus, if you can trade people for other resources (e.g. chester) do it.
As everyone else says, once you get into gen 4, progress grinds to a halt. I haven't gained another prestige point in hours, but I don't want to prestige for just 2 points.
Good game, but about midway through the second act, becomes fairly simple. A setup of one of every non-premium soldier + an extra engineer (or cut medic for two extra engineers) and I beat everything, including hard levels, on first try. Engineers appear to have the highest DPS in the game when you factor in crit and accuracy, and with maxed skills, a single engineer will give you 12-13 extra AP over the course of the game. With 2 engineers, you can get level 2 damage boost for everyone and level 3 shields for the front line.
In the latest update of Firefox a parameter in the browsers config was changed, which makes all flash games laggy. To get rid of the lag type about:config in the address bar and hit enter. Search for the parameter dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled and change its value to false.
1) For me, got relatively laggy pretty fast. 2) "control+click" is a rare shortcut in games because people with macs can't do it. 3) Some indicator of wave health would be nice 4) Enemies should not give 1 resource per kill the entire game (not sure if true, looks like it)
1) I will focus on performance in the next few updates. 2) I am sorry, I will fix this. 3) Yes, planned it. 4) Might change in the future. For now it seems to be sufficient. :)
Tip: the Omega Penguin body (unlockable, 2nd cheapest body) looks like it's bad, but from levels 6-10 it unlocks either a stage or boost slot every level, making it by FAR the lightest, fastest, AND cheapest body with 4 stages/4 boosts. Also, for 4 stages, using a Ram Jet as your last stage > using a fourth Shuttle Reactor.
Tip: a jet body with 3 shuttle reactors and no boosts will go further than a space shuttle body with 4 shuttle reactors and 4 bell nozzles, even if you invest 50% more in the latter. That's because the jet setup weighs nearly half as much and because the third (and, with upgrades, second) stages get max lift boosts. Jet + 3 reactors + no boosts (or pengu balloons) can break 200,000 in ~30 days with only a few bonuses.
