Now that's just evil, I'm about to win a battle in hard campaign, that I struggled for about 3 hours, and it just froze

I really like this game, its just that how some people get to use the trojan horse so quickly in the game and kill you. My suggestion is that maybe lower the damage by 6-10 damage. But lowering damage means lowering the key cost, and the bricks used to use it.

During campaign mode, if things are looking grim for the computer, the game just stops. It remains the computer's turn for ages and never makes a move. It's becoming very frustrating.

The My First Castle Badge is mislabeled. It should be named the win one multiplayer game badge. I just earned it in my first multiplayer game!

So good! So good! But there should be the two player mode, like in the original game (I do not mean the multiplayer mode! But that where you can play with a friend with a same computer) :D

The key to winning the Hard campaign seems to be getting a deck formed entirely around building your own castle to get to 100 and win that way. After trying that approach, it only took me a few tries to beat each level, and I beat the last on my first try. No attack cards, the only cards requiring weapons being Guards, Thief, and a few Recruits.

when people said the hard campaign depnded on luck i thought "well so did the other 2 parts"
but on my 3rd castle, one go i got 10 on my tower, and they sent a dragon and defeated me. 2nd go, i barely survived their dragon, only to get beaten by a trojan horse the next. theres no actual strategy in that, thats definately just luck! nice game, but definately needs some work. a skill game shouldn't be that dependant on luck. the hard part should be creating a decent deck, not hoping the AI doesnt get a good hand!

I got the "Hard" badge fairly simply with a gimmicky, castle building deck. All of my cards were to build the castle up, with no offensive cards at all.
The only 'sword' cards I used were a couple of thief cards.
I used wizards, add bricks add crystals, magic wall, Magic defense, all crystals and pixies to build up the castle.
I used builders, and all the castle building cards, and a mix of wall cards for a little defense while I build up. No offensive brick cards were used.

Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting again, but that "Rags to Riches" badge should really be ranked as "impossible" rather than "hard".

i dont think the hard badge depends too much on luck, i needed max 2 tries for each battle in the hard campaign and i dont think i was that unbelievable lucky!
really fun and cool game, but i agree with sohryukei that the sacrifice cards are way too powerfull

It's nice to see the game got prettier and that there's a campaign, but... why such a confusing, counter-intuitive interface? Why card info is not just on mouseover? It's hard to keep track of resources when they're all lined up like that AND mirrored on the opponent's side. I understand it was all changed for some novelty value, but seriously - 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. The game suffered a lot from this.

I think that the way to win without your enemy quitting is playing with chat friends, almost all the time my friends don't quit

Same as teacas, had the AI on the ropes with 1-1-1 production and a handful of thieves, and he just stopped playing cards. Bastage. :-(

Hard mode... sigh, every level the opponents have an over whelming advantage over you. I beat it with a deck purely going for 100 castle hp, no attacks. This seems to work because computers are stupid. Your main building material will be crystals, and you WILL need to restart until you get a good hand, pixies FTW.

i have to say tho its not really fair turning it into a money game, at least make things like trojan horse and curse more expensive?? i hate it wen im just trying to get going and i get raped with a curse

I want this for iOS. The "AI" is silly sometimes - sacrificing builders etc when I only have 1 left anyway, or throwing a Magic Weapon Comet at me when I have a Magic Shield up makes no sense, but these fun moments are great to take advantage of in the last few levels. It can help turn the tide in my favor if the enemy keeps sacrificing his production away until he's only got 1 left of each! Despite the difficulties and seemingly unfairness of those levels, I've been coming back to play this game religiously for several years. It would be nice if someone picked it up, made some improvements, and released on mobile. 4/5.

Here's a few tips for the last enemy on hard: Remove all damage cards except for trojan horse, wain, ambush, and archer. Put all of those at 5 except archer, which can be 3 or 4. He'll have a huge wall after a few turns, so the direct damage cards will be pointless, but keep archer in to get rid of magic shields. Recruit, mage, and builder, aand all of the add material cards should be at 5. I'd advise having all remove material cards set at 0 since he usually has a huge stockpile anyways. Have 4 or 5 magic weapons cards in for obvious reasons. The rest of the stuff is up to you, though I'd advise not having too many building cards (despite the fact that I ended up winning by getting to 100 my first time, but that was because I hadn't set up my cards as much as I would've liked to.) Start by focusing on getting production up, using the add material cards to pay for production cards. Then try to use trojan horse with magic weapons on him, and finish him off with the other attack cards.

I'm wondering why here I'm constantly resetting my game until the opponent does NOT one-hit kill me with a dragon on his FIRST turn. There is no possible card to negate this that does not screw up the rest of the play. I can do +15 castle, but then I'm stuck with 3 bricks and 1 builder that doesn't get me anywhere. The game really looks good, but implementing a level that consists of rolling a dice until you get 6 simply doesn't make sense.

ugly bug found. i forced the enemy (cpu) to discard for 3 turns in a row, at the 4th, cpu did nothing, is just 'thinking' playing nothing and i cant do anything

It would be nice if there were rooms for different skill players. One minute a noob is complaining I knocked him out with a trojan card and the next i'm getting beat buy a guy who's played 2000 times and has payed money for custom cards. Maybe rooms where you have to have won so many times to enter. And also a room where you only battle with the default deck would be cool.

Really, Kongregate? "Let's pick a game for BOTD with a badge that doesn't work." Whose bright idea was this? That person should be fired.

Got the Hard badge rather quickly using a totally Build oriented deck, basically all the buildings but schools, all the pixies, guards, thiefs, add/all bricks, add crystals, sacrifice builder. Main goal is to get on par with CPU on resource production, so restart the match immediately if you don't get Builder and at least another Builder/Mage/Recruit in the initial draw. If you manage to start this way, and to avoid a Curse or Trojan Horse from the CPU, you have fairly good chances to win the match.

I remember now why I only gave this stupid game one star. Even when you win a game it doesn't award the five point badge. One less BOTD this week.

the game is just as addicting as the first, but i have gripes with the resource counter. i think it needs color like the first to clearly distinguish at a glance the available resources, and maybe multilayering too so you can easily see which is your total resources and which is your resources per turn

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 :)
