Best heroes in the game? The Wanted Man after I used an element switch to Cold, and Defender Jameson. Fast, Strong, 3-Ranged basic units, opposite elements...took me forever to finally get Jameson, but when I did, I found that pretty much every single level--be it with Jameson, Wanted Man, or both--was a pushover. (Also, for upgrading yourself, upgrade Wisdom to the Max first. It'll make you upgrade faster in the long-run. For upgrading units, Wisdom comes first, then Logistics [17 G for a basic unit, 71 for an advanced!], then tactics [get units upgrading sooner], and then leadership [cheaper upgrades]. I've found that upgrading Type, Element, and Special skills to be pretty wasteful.)

I thoroughly enjoy all the names you gave the soldiers. I got "Jorell" "Race Bandit" "Greg, Yes That Greg" "John Rico" and "David Blaine"/"Gandalf" as mage/wizard respectively. All in one level too. Kinda sad I know where all hose came from...

Fast way to get the Protectomon. Get a Gentleman unit who is poison with Shadows ( I use flitfingers the theif). Do the mission The Great Hydra, which is 5 waves long. max out the bottom of the skill tree for swag gathering, and watch the loot pile up. I recommend also bringing a fire element user.

So if you added a bunch of new quests for the other factions, why were the Hillhome and Covenant skipped? or is it because I havent yet unlocked them, though Ive done every other storyline quest on the board?

Um, is it just me or does the title screen keep "flipping" the options around for everyone? It makes any option totally unclickable.

If you erase your cookies, don't cry if you lose your savegames because they are cookies just like Mud & Blood 2. Another nice game. :)

Another thing for those losing save files: You should try n make sure if you have it set to consistently delete history to NOT delete cookies as well.

For folks missing save games, I'm running firefox 4 with no problems, might want to check and make sure your local storage is set to unlimited and that your antivirus isn't deleting the temp files.

In case you were wondering, CONSECRATION provides an elemental bonus for when your unit has the same element as the enemies STRENGTH. Not weakness like normal. Stronger than the general weakness bones it is an advanced skill and requires planning. Like after losing a map and noticing the creatures all had a fire strength/ cold weakness and you still lost. Your Fire Patroler upgraded with Consecration might help you there

I never expected the changes to set me back so much. Im on my fourth mission and constantly stuck because my heros arent suited for any mission in the entire board.
Seems like RPGs and strategy genres are inverse proportional.

Dammit, "Craftsman" scroll, where are you???
chanimalcrackers--shops open as you get more popular with their factions.

How come every now and then I get a 'super' unit e.g. my Technomancer that does 200 damage for some reason. But then the next one I build right next to it does like 8 damage? Is this some sort of bug?

Forged Metal: 2nd to last wave's beetles strategy... 1. Line the edges with Physical Crossbows and max slowing rates. 2. Add Huskarls and max their damage to deal 100-300 to each beetle. 3. Had a good number of Archmages with max warp. Beetles were slowed greatly, teleported back to the beginning fairly often, and took big damage from Huskarls... Not too difficult at all.

Made the badge with Defender Jameson and the consecrated attacks. Pump up his ranged all the way, get good rep and buy +6 ranged gloves from the forest friends store, pumped up range all the way to max, and then put the rest into leadership for cheap upgrades. I put all my +life stuff on the 2 other heroes for added security, way too easy.

....heh, actually combined both tricks: concentrated trainees at the very beginning to debuff, then used consecrated defenders after. Still was a close thing, but I got it. Moving on....
I think one way to make melee units more appealing would be to give some ranged units the ability: "wing-bind" What it would do is shoot a line that would tangle wings for 2 secs, plus whatever bonuses from leveling the skill, plus whatever bonuses from specialism. After a wing bind, then melee units can hit flying units as long as the wing-bind skill is still active on the target.

I'm having problems with one of the storyline missions: "Forged Metal". I'm great up until the last 2 waves. the second to last wave is a literal horde of beetles with 1500hp each, and then the last wave is a lich with 7000 hp. the problem is, the beetles weak to energy but strong against physical (I mean, with 30 archery and 9 elemental, I still only do 2 or 3 pts of damage to them with ranged physical attacks), and the lich is weak to physical, but ABSORBS energy.
I tried using a "neutral" element, but again, the beetles just have too many hps, and I can only get about half of them. I have a unit with consecrate, but it's only for fire. However, is that the solution? get a unit with consecrate and the right element?

Everytime I stop playing, I lose levels, heros, and items. Whats up with that? I love this game but its getting really frustrating when I dont have what I had before.

Did anybody else notice that you can create massive ammounts of gold using a game bug? I get as many xp-bonus items as I can click on right now. :)

on my 1st playthrough of this version vs. IV. I like the more organized quest chains much better!
as usual, my favorite hero is Diamond Blaze. First thing I do is work on changing his mage to a council wizard. the combination of wizard range and slow ability, combined with the infection, speed, and sheer damage of the warlock is just brutal. He always seems to manage any fire mission entirely single-handed, even from starting level.

how does this game not have shortcuts to send the next wave and get that proceed popup out of the way? you'd think after 5 games of this and who knows how many updates this would've been one of the first improvements

Wow, the "Hold the Gates!" mission never activated for me so I spent nine hours bored out of my mind replaying the same storyline quests over and over trying to get the highest regard from five other sects before finally coming back to the Council of the Magi... I thought that winning everyone over might finally trigger the next story mission or unlock some of the other stores! I've been playing this series since Protector One before it even came to Kongregate, but I have to say that this version has some serious problems...

I'm a good fan of protector games, they are very fun to play. I think they should be a hotkey for pressing proceed and then start the new wave, for when you're strong enough, you just go through it like nothing. A pause button can be considered for less chaos and time to think. An ultra high speed button can be fun! The experience points for you(the leader) was quite slow. However, the units were quite fun to play around with. ^.^

I found it logical and fun to have all rangers. Skirmishers are awesome. They are so strong and are experts and murdering flying guys. Archers never take a break. In my personal skills I raised archery as well. I am not far in but all 6 of my heroes can't hit much under 50 even on their worst element. :D LOVE archers!
