At first I made a deck with building in mind, but that plan broke down after not too long. Then I switched to an attack oriented deck, which got me farther. It wasn't until I made a deck focused on magic, however, that I finally completed the Hard campaign. The Trojan Horse card was also instrumental to my success.

The key to hard mode is not destroying the enemy, but getting to 100 of height. The enemy has too much cards to protect himself, but not So much to attack. you just need some add bricks and add crystals, some walls (magic/normal walls), and mainly taverns, castles, wains and pixies. With this strategy, the hard badge needs just few tries to achieve.

Thief on the first turn and then trojan horse on the next. That happened five times in a row. Wow, the computer is really "lucky."

BLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I used trojan horse and forgot that the enemy had magic defence!!!! I sound like a total nerd...

Great Improvement from the first one! The graphics overhall made the game much more enjoyable. Keep up the good Work! My Strategy: Build the castle to 100 and use all direct castle attacks just to keep them from advancing. Worked pretty well in multiplayer

i think that trojan horsew card is better cause it kills caslte only which is part of a win with sp weapons its better you win or they might have more hp than 60 but its help like ambush

Got hard badge with a deck similar to Brotbaums deck, thanks Brotbaum, really helped, only took me about 70 minutes to get and about 40 restarts lol

i've just done the hard badge with following card deck:4x ambush, 5x thief, 5x recruit, 5x guards, 5x mage, 5x pixies, 3x magic wall, 2x magic defense, 2x magic weapons, 5x add weapons/crystals/bricks, 5x builder, 2x house, 5x babylon, 2x wall, 5x school, 5x fence, 5x wain, 2x large wall, 2x trojan horse. if you don't have trojan horse then just leave it out, it should work though. good luck with it :)

too much 'luck' involved... i hate how i got the same bad cards while the computer keep getting the perfect card for that exactly moment

Pretty unbalanced. I spend the first 3 rounds upping my resource gain. During this, I'm pummeled with attacks. Then, the CPU switches and kills all my resource gain, and destroys my stocks. Then I spend the next 3-5 rounds discarding while the computer finishes me off. The past 10 or so matches went this way so I just quit. I got no enjoyment from this sequel.

I just have to say that I'm tired of reading people talking bad about this game. OK, the game is hard, but that doesn't make it the worst game, it's just hard. The AI is perfectly balanced to me, you just need to know how handle it, and doing so took me about 10 minutes, not weeks as some guys are complaining about. Just try build your deck the way it's better against the AI,mainly the hard one, wich I can make sure it's not the same one used against those easy peasy levels.

I'm sorry, but this game didn't improve at all from the 1st. The graphics might have been slightly worse, but at least game play wasn't broken by unbalanced AI; hard mode or not.

For those having trouble with hard mode: Try using Sacrifice Builder/Recruit/Mage cards to ruin the AI's production, Thieves to keep the AI poor, and Magic Defense to buy time to do so. It may take a few restarts, but if you can destroy the AI's economy, it'll have to discard all those Dragons, Trojan Horses, and Curses while you leisurely stroll to victory.

A much better game than castle wars 1 in terms of graphics and new cards :) but just some things to work on is the hard campaign.... its supposed to be tought but not gears of war 2 insane mode tough. Also when a another player leaves a multi game then you should have a win added to your ratio.Really tought to actually get a win that records as most leave when they are about to lose.

game has locked up twice now in campaign. i play a card, it goes to his turn, arrow stays on his castle, all cards are turned face down, i can't do any actions... he's not taking his turn and nothing i click will make him go. first time trying to play this game and was hoping i could have some fun, but 15 minutes and it broke.. twice...

Great game 5/5. Best game i like so far. Game Requires sense and patience to set up deck and choose cards carefully. + if u agree

this game is so frustrating. it doesn't matter how much of a 'builders' deck one makes, the AI is so unbalanced... argh. so stupid to waste hours trying to get a badge that's all dependent on 'luck' and not at all on strategy.

How to win on hard: Discard. Discard three attack/building cards a turn 'till you get thieves and (optimally) ADD WEAPON cards. Use the thieves to buy schools. The kill mage/kill builder cards hurt, but before to long you should be getting enough resources to take the hit. But, when in doubt, discard - And get some better cards.

Nothing says a fun game like being nearly maxed as a castle while the computer is almost dead and he busts out a dragon and one hit kills. F* this game.

This is how I got the hard badge.... Mostly all I used was Magic weapons, Ambush, and Wain... I made the maximum for each one- 5 cards. Then I tried to get as many as I could from the beginning of the round. Then I waited until my magic was up then I played the magic weapons (Which doubles damage)... Then play the Ambush card. And If the computer's castle hasn't been knocked out yet, go searching for the Wain to win.
