good to see the addition of hotkeys, now i need to get used to pressing left and right to scroll instead of A and D. still too slow/easy/boring though. as soon as my heroes spawn i just press assualt and wait for the win. works on most levels even on epic

one of the best games on kongregate
the perfect combo of epic war 1-4
i hope if theres a epic war 5 there will be multiplayer

The fact that your hero can't stop in the middle of a combo is really annoying... and then there's the fact that your units can't heal, so you can have 25 units at minimum health for 5 minutes, then have them all decimated in one second and it takes three minutes to get them all back.

Here's some help. Challenge 1: Use Meteor Blast (Skill) or Sky Dragon (Titan) to kill the black imps. Challenge 2: Use Stop (skill) to slow bomb and aim upgraded Popo's(hero) attack to hit the center for max damage by moving him back and forth when needed. Challenge 3: Use Shield(skill) until your Diablos and/or Lord of Fire goes directly on the boss. Then go afk for a while. Final Challenge: Max shield(skill) and charge the base while keeping invincible up. Use imps to slow the boss from advancing.

there is a really nasty bug: when i select the comet spell and cast it, it won't go away untill i have spent every point of mana ... and when it regens for another spell the pointer changes to spellcasting again. it doesn't stop even if i press escape or click on the screen like mad for 2 minutes ...

It'd be useful if you could see a spell's cost when mousing over.. as it is, you can see it by clicking on it, but only if you don't have the mana for it... also, spell hot keys would be very much appreciated as well.

Honestly, I'd rather play Epic War 3 again. This game was buggy, slow, and pretty much didn't improve from the 3rd one. Graphics barely improved, you DID add some new units though. This game was far too easy.
2/5

whew just FINALLY managed Hard on lvl IX... i WANT those blue arrow spammers! my strategy was to slowly move two Epic Tanks (deflect missles up and over!) up with Pixie healer support. and keep ALL the dumb heros back at start. wow. nice and helpful. Sylph and Succubus units hiding behind the tanks was the only way i could see to keep suicide "Ka-Boom" units out of my hair but these ladies had to be micromanaged to keep them from stepping into an arrow storm. now i just have to figure out where i'm going to spend this 40k gold... suicide bombers of my own were useful earlier but not when the enemy has cheap melee so i might try that too. lvl X on hard may be too much for me without grinding gold :C

if your confused about the 4 commands, fall back and assault apply to all units regardless of what is selected, including units that havent spawned yet. the inner 2 apply to your selected units.

I wouldnt have too much of a problem with 13s rigged black goblin if my units didnt stop to attack it therefore blocking the assault indefinetly.

to be more complete...
the buttons at the bottom make ALL the units do that? what is the point of even selecting them then? trying to click and move units is fail by the time the game decides I've clicked in an OK spot the unit is dead.
the game is pretty much the same thing over and over again so why is the cash return so low that i have to keep playing the lower levels over and over again to get to the higher levels where basically the same thing happens. Hit assault... sit back. lose when the enemy castle vomits units.
haven't found a way (yet) to speed up the game or slow magic generation rate. units are too dumb to survive without firepower but it takes too long to charge up any spells.

Why are people complaining about hotkeys?
There are Hotkeys.
- left and right arrow to move camera stage
- a to select all, s to select all hero, d to select all units
- 1-6 hotkeys for spell
- qwertyuio hotkeys for units
- space bar to confirm units / spells placement
- p to pause

it is a pain in the ass that we MUST save before every single new game, or if we want to leave or simply concede the game, we LOSE previous unsaved things.

never understood why you changed the set up after the first 2 games but this is still great game better if you went back to the set up of the first 2

That dragon's just killing all of my troops. I guess it's useless to have troops, I'll just spam-repeat those first levels until I have enough money for those big dragons.

Your first 100k dude should be the dragon, the dragon is like the only thing that can kill the bloody black goblins... speaking of my current record for most cash is getting a little of 750k on the goblin mode on hard lol

easy way to kill tyrant lord baal ( the big guy with the massive sword) buy the lord of fire titan unit and let him go to town on the guy... baal cant hit him AT ALL once he starts attacking so use the big bang lvl to get the cash and then its a slow and painless win against baal

100 times Better Than the third, but still not as good as the second. at first I thought there was not much human input, as the spells did little to nothing to enemys, the at around the 11th level, I found myself doing more than just pushing "Assault". also on the final challenge, I won By destroying the castle, instead of slaying the angel. I would like the next Epic War to return to the style of The first two, but this is a great improvement over the third one.

Personally, I think that the healing could be somewhat faster for heroes. By the time you heal them up, you could have already resurrected them.

I am utterly disappointed at the lack of diversification from the previous "Epic War" game. There are so many individual aspects of this series that should have, but weren't, exploited for the betterment of the franchise. 4/5

Be aware that there IS a SFX/Music volume control ingame. It's just that it's in the Option screen, and inaccessible if you're in a battle.

1&2 were the best, sorry, but after # 3..it went downhill...no skill needed any more... im writing this as my army just assaults the other castle..its not as fun as #3 even this time, go back to the old system,youll get a lot more positive feedback

I'm sorry rudy but this is soooo lame compared to all the other epic wars all you need to do is click assult at the beggingof the match and the troops do the rest it's not even really a game more like a show 2out of 5 yet I rated the other epic wars 5 out of 5.

Notice how the arrows have become progressively less useful until you don't even have them? And why does the enemy get to have specific units retreat? And also, why do your units still go forward when an enemy get close? That defeats the purpose of having me tell them to pull back. And no auto-save? I didn't realize the first time I played. Just a few complaints.

in my opinion, i think that levl 10 (dragons lair) is the best place for farming gold.it gives 10000 bonus gold and its easy if you have a good army.just keep assaulting before the dragon comes through
