Mine: 400$ Mine kills ship I get 1800$ Air balloon: 800$ air baloon kills plane, I get 2700$, I make more air baloons and mines till I win, then I relaize that even 300 air baloons cannot beat the UFo mothership.

SOOOOO epic. 5/5 all the way! But... it would be funny if there were little villagers that run out of the house and scream.

Stragy I used and all levels were easy: at the beginning go for as much money as possible. Use only towers and try to get guntowers asap. About 10 towers is more than enough and just build more houses and banks... (upgrade later only, at the beginning just expand) later, around waves 18 start killing them with mines and balloons and forget all weapons.. build money only. You can build mines and balloons even when enemies are coming. Final level three big ships, just click as hell on balloons on him... Ended with about 700k free money and had nothing to do with it...

For around 2 or 3 waves, this is an immensely fun game, and then you realize just how hard this is. You have to manually fire loads of easily destroyed towers, which is extremely hard in the later stages.

i have to agree with the majority here its a good idea and good graphics but it could use just a bit of tweaking on the timing to make it into a great game. good job tho very entertaining

I lost because I build laser towers. Since when lasers are slower than bullets?-_-"
This game have a lot of strategy but also is a shooter game and you need to be fast. I cant say its a bad thing but dont like it.
Anyways it a great game.
Needs: 1-zoom out, at last I was firing to center, sending waves of random missiles.
2- auto shoot, only a simple bulletwall maker autoshoot, so you have an ofensive wall. Of course diferent AI for towers will help a lot, but i understand if you dont see this like a TD. Aim and shoot isn't part of an strategy game. I think it must not be that way.
3- repair all, faster than pushing R and selecting towers again.
4- buildings sometimes fall for no reason. Something about that XD
5- wall upgrades, they are too weak.
Excuse my poor English.

Great idea, but the game becomes pretty boring after postmodern era. With half a dozen of long range ships and airplanes, all you can do is spam lasers, hoping you'll hit something.

Build and defend your Empire Island through the ages.
Build up your population to raise taxes.
Choose 30 different types of construction unit including several types of weapon, ranging from mud-ball towers and cannons through to advanced futuristic weapons such as lasers and missiles.
Place defences including mines, explosive balloons and tesla coils. Call upon powerful Acts of God, such as Lightning, Tsunamis and Firestorms.
Fend off ever more advanced enemies, starting from simple wooden boats, right up to alien invaders.
Upgrade almost everything! One of the most advanced physics-based strategy games available.
Please be aware: This is a real strategy game, if you want to something that you can complete in 10 minutes on your first attempt, then this game is probably not for you. It takes real thought and strategy to win. Once you’ve mastered (it it) takes about an hour to play through!
Mistake is in brackets. you needed a comma.

Hey when I replace a unit with another unit I don't even get any money back for the one I just replaced! When I replace a unit I would at least like for the game to know to SELL the building and then build the new one.

the first time i played i made a derp wall that was 2 blocks one standing on the island and one not.it was pretty good though.and then the enemy came with harpoons that fired above it.anyway i did beat first level.wave 9.after came some ballon shooters and me dead.i did use everythign to the last mud catapult i could construct however.i belive this game came with an awesome idea but is too hard.TOO hard,because of the way it works u must manage ur money,build in a way that will be good in the future time,fight with these weirdo mechanics all in one i would rate it 7,5/10 .

The firing is erratic and unpredictable, I find the initial tutorial pleasant, however an initial aiming assist would be nice. 2/5

Not to mention I can't pass the first level before my town is completely leveled. no matter how I try to fire I never, and I mean almost never hit the boats. The physics feel completely off. revising down to 1/5 and if it wasn't for the good graphics I'd want to go 0/5 if i could.

The guide is really helpful, got pretty far going from start, and actually did really well later on.
