Ya know, I decided to go on this cattle drive in a canyon. Where I kept my cows was a total fenced in dead end, to keep bandits and the likes away. My hired hands and I were protecting them well when a fen drunk thieves got through, but when we went to chase them, they had disappeared? I didn't realize you could climb a canyon cliff with a bull while drunk and not have to run back out with the bull.

nice details! Arrows remaining stuck in bandits bodies; mexican shooting in two different directions (just like the moofies!) etc. The graphics could be tastier (grittier) but 5/5!

Kind of wish you had made challenging enemies instead of using the same obnoxious ninja mechanic as Don't Touch My Gems, so they once again become the only relevant enemies, except you have no meteor spell in this game.

Those stealthed units in TD-games - will they ever go away again? They suck!!! Same here, makes the last level a pain in the butt. All the other levels are at least somewhat original, althought there are definately too many blocked tiles, but the last one - meh, it's just stupid.
Good game though, had the potential to be one of the best TDs ever, but sadly there are too many little things that prevent it from being great.

3 stars on hard: Step 1) Put down 2-3 tecumseh's in the key locations (good bottle necks and shooting lanes). Step 2) DO NOT place any other units, even if u have more cash, until you do a few waves with JUST the tecumseh's so they level up ONE TIME and you upgrade them to see invisible. Step 3) Place Davids/Chucks around the tecumseh or so that they can see into the 'scout circle'. There is a circle around them showing where they 'scout' the other units. Step 4) just keep placing Davids and chucks around these scout circles. Step 5) the ONLY money you spend should be on the 1st 2-3 tecumsehs, upgrade each tecumseh 1 time only, then place davids and chucks. You do not need to upgrade the chucks , really, but the 'scare' is pretty useful OR of course damage but generally more chucks is better than upgraded chucks. With davids, I like to use +1 damage...then just add more Davids. You can add 'slow down' if you need, especially in key areas like BEFORE the scout circles.

I have been playing this game for a week in my free time at work, I come in to work to get some things done on a Sunday and poof the game is reset and I don't have the option of continuing my game.... Frustrating... I was replaying all levels to achieve silver I wanted to see what the best gear would do... :(

Best way to win 90% of the levels:
1. Get a few Tecumseh with just 1 upgrade (to see cloaked units).
2. Get a ton of Billy Kid and just upgrade his headshot ability.
Even on the levels with a lot of immune guys, I still had enough Billy Kid to kill them, no problem.
Vote up to spread the strategy!

Somewhat disagree with popular comments of damage vs skill upgrades. You have to make that decision - go for burning/poison/slow or for damage. I like that you have to make a choice, not get both. Though I agree, only the reveal skill was worth it. I also disagree with people taking issue with terrain. That's the point, making it harder. Again, you have to make trade offs, not be given best/easiest stuff every time. Overall good game, polished graphics and play. Not too long. Nothing earth shattering, but fun. Love the props to Chuck of course.

GUIDE: All skills suck except for Indian Vision (get 1 pt early for detection, max it when u have 4 nearby dudes), and Rifleman's slow (awesome boss killer, make sure to have 1 rifleman). You CAN NOT GRIND GOLD! Extra bulls arent that useful. Buy a few so you don't lose to 1 leak, but dont need to max em either...waste of gold. RADIUS boosting items are really good. Get one early on as radius of cowboys isn't quite good enough for many strats. Try to do DOUBLE-PASS strategy where each dude shoots at the lineup twice. This is better than the LONG-PASS which is when you put him on a corner. This is where radius-boost is strong. Do as many maps as you can on EASY to get map rewards and get to the last town for good items and all your dudes. THEN go back and replay all on HARD to get the extra gold.

There is a little bit of RNG luck involved, however, that could have used a nerf. One enemy you have a chance of missing... and I cannot tell you how many times I've been screwed over by RNGesus. Missing -four- times in a row. However, it's a rare occasion where it actually screws you over too much. It only frustrated me on two levels.
It's definitely a fairly solid game - definitely some things that could have been tweaked a little, but all in all it's a decently simple tower defense. It's nothing like Kingdom Rush (which I consider to be the god of TD here on Kongregate) or Gemcrafter, but it's still a fairly good game if you like tower defense and really enjoy finding different strategies.

to those of you complaining that the upgrades are worthless... i have beaten numerous maps with spamming billy the kids and upgrading the stun. my gear is based on radius. the enemies slow to a crawl with the stun and headshot... however, on the latter levels you need some heavy hitters for the blue creeps since they are immune to status altering effects.

Probably get lots of down votes, but this game doesn't deserve its rating, it's a good solid game but just not great...

This is a fairly horrible game.. worst ive played in a while. So many good positions taken up by scenery, website logos on every screen in the game, and looks just like dont touch my gems, and that game was great, unlike this...

Also, with regards to the worthless upgrades, it just seems odd that you can do the entire game only using damage upgrades, which defeats the point of having customisable upgrades. I agree that they Can be used, but it's just not at all needed

Replaying levels should get you something other than stars (like cash).... and the achievements should give you bonuses. The game itself is an interesting concept but it needs more work and some ideas like being able to pave terrain so that you can put your cowboys where they actually need to be. (3/5)

Is it me or victories in Hard [3 star] do not give Exp? The message says "you gainned the maximun exp for this battle" (or something like that) but the exp bar seems not to move...

protip: 1) Try first to spam unupgreaded units, since they are more cost efficent
2) the indina is the best unit to spam
2)When asked to choice a reward for the medal quest, take 10% radius, its the stat you will lack once you have the best gear.

Finally a actual reason to gain money for killing the enemies. I always wondered why random monsters were carrying so much gold.

If you win a battle for the first time, and choose to restart, you don't get the money (only a little amount for beating it second time).
