Tips would be;

1) Never underestimate weak melee units – Goblins, Hobbits and the like are very powerful against a wide range of units as they simply slow them down allowing your ranged units to do some major damage.

2) Ranged units with a meat-shield of spam units (Gobs and Hobs) are much more powerful than a mass of melee units as they can do damage over a much longer time period while protected by the frontline

3) Know how units attack;
Centaurs for example can hit multiple units with they’re piercing spears however they can also throw spears over smaller unit’s heads doing no damage at all.
Dwarfs use a blunderbuss that does splash damage hitting more than one unit, however they have low range and damage. However their size means they will never miss a small unit the way centaurs and elven hunters can, this makes coupled with the fast spawn and high population makes them quite a good anti-spam-melee unit.
God units may sound appealing with their massive HP and damage but the Rate-of-Fire (RoF) and size mean they can do as little as 2-3 attacks before dying and with the massive respawn time they are not ideal in most situations. Some are better than others but making a team full of God units is generally not as good an idea as it sounds.

4) Use accessories! Poison and burn are good for units with Area of Effect (AoE) and slow RoF but both are weak compared to units with high RoF. Thunder is good at slowing down units by temporary freezing them. Most ranged units should carry the 25 damage/25% HP, using the +25% HP -25% damage shell is not needed as your melee spam units should be preventing them taking damage most of the time

5) Never use the robotic suit. The whole game is based on out damaging for best performance not out surviving, +75% HP sounds great but the -25% damage is a killer. What sounds like a good trade-off isn’t as while a unit that actually sees bonus from the HP boost (ie God units) have such a slow RoF that the -25% damage makes them useless and the respawn doesn’t make them effective tanks.
Putting it on a non-God unit doesn’t save the unit from the massive late game damage that comes at them so all in all it is useless

I may do a fuller guide if I have time tomorrow and if anyone needs it?

Topic: General Gaming / Epic War 5

I get the feeling that one of the levels needs to be completed with a certain team or team containing a certain unit

Edit;

And hey, Earth Dragon is weak, what’s so special about it? >.>

Does that mean you have the Earth Dragon, or just that it’s easy to beat?

As far as I can tell, the only thing missing from the unit list would be those Demon Imps. Or the Power Goblins, but I doubt that. I would really like to know what it is and what the badge for the final achievement is.

It might be the Earth Dragon.

I am missing the Earth Dragon. Only unit I can think is missing, other than Power Goblins and Undead Beast and they are just boss only versions of existing units

Wait a second. You’re saying that USD 4 to the gallon is going to be catastrophic?

Tell that to the UK. Tell that to South Korea and Japan. Tell that to South Africa. Tell that to Australia. See what response you get. Some people in those places are paying USD 4 to the liter.

In the North of the UK (where we are all poor and live in shacks) we pay 2.16USD to the litre. (£1.37 per litre = 2.16597USD)

That works out to 8.18USD to the US Gallon…(2.16*3.785(3.785L per 1 US gallon))

I dread to think how much it is in the glorious south

What? You said the only thing providing us with oil was the US’s war in Iraq. If you wish to include US foreign policy as well, then US foreign policy isn’t half bad, as most of it did not result in war.

I never said that. I’m just saying that the US’s war in iraq allows us to keep supplying ourselves with enough cheap oil to keep our country living the way it does. It doesn’t supply us with ALL our oil, just a big enough chunk to where it’s important that we stay over there.

So you’re saying an extremely expensive war was necessary, because Saddam had cut off oil to the USA?

He set light to the oil wells in the first desert storm, burn off those oil reserves and the price will skyrocket. As long as those supplies survive, under US or Iraq control prices stay lower

Actually, we get more from Algeria and the government doesn’t have it’s own oil company. Perhaps those within the government accept “donations” from corporations but there are not government run oil refineries under our control.

Your username and your naiveté of how the world runs are a good combination

By the logic of “if you don’t see it it doesn’t exist” then all the new species we discover must be a figment of our imagination, either that or they don’t exist before they are observed…

Topic: Serious Discussion / Proof that God is real without proof...

If the universe is infinite then every eventuality must be played out.
What are the odds of life evolving and surviving to an intelligence like human?
Slim?
Near-impossible?

Those are still finite probabilities, not zero. Hence in an infinite universe life must exist, somewhere…
Ironically the one impossible thing in an infinite universe is something not happening…somewhere

I don’t hate Muslims, but I dislike Koranic ideology.

Why, the instigators of 9/11 were not following the Qur’an. They could of picked any Holy Book to quote in such a way to justify the attack, the Bible is every bit as barbaric as the Qur’an if taken literally and there are nut-jobs that carry out attacks in it’s name

Goddamn I hope you aren’t American.

What does being American have to do with seeing that America deserved 9/11 because of what the American Government did in the middle east in the 90’s?

…if u r american, then you need to probably get out, as u just said 3,000 of your OWN PEOPLE deserved to die…something tells me you would feel differently if you were one of the people that got trapped in the towers.

I like you emphasis of “own people”, are you suggesting American lives are worth more than the lives that are affected by America’s use of depleted Uranium in the 90’s? The data is lacking but I bet more people have been affected by the radiation than died in 9/11.

Don’t get me wrong, I observed a minutes silence and reflection for the innocent lives lost in 9/11 at 08:46 Eastern. I cried, as ten years ago I watched the events unfold pretty much live. I in no way attempt to justify the acts of the misguided idiots who thought they were following the Qur’an, as nothing justifies such an act.
However I can’t stand the America belief that America has never done anything wrong. America has committed acts that are basically war crimes and best described as atrocities.
This doesn’t justify 9/11, nothing does, but maybe a little humbleness and acceptance your not perfect will help in the future to lower the proportion of the world who hate you.

^^ According to that logic, we should abolish medicine in general. After all, our world is so overpopulated, isnt it?

I think you are missing the difference between prolonging existing life and growing additional life. Evolution requires death to work, and we have evolved to want to have offspring so if people can be restored rather than dying and people carry on reproducing then we are looking at some pretty major problems (food, water etc)

It’s common sense, if you can afford to bank somewhere with a low tax rate and your home country puts it’s tax up what would you do…

This already happens in big companies (Google: TopShop)

The massive tax cuts for the rich over the last few decades might not be the cause of the debt, but raising the taxes will make an impact. When every penny counts, you scrape from all angles.

If you tax people rich enough to afford to bank overseas to much then they will just move their money to somewhere with lower tax. Lower tax on the rich actually makes more money that higher tax on the rich

What makes the last one more believable to you than the first one?

I would say the belief that you think God simply ignores the universe if they’re failed.

As you said, neither one can be proved (no theory regarding the creation of the universe can.) so it’s really a matter of taking the very (VERY) limited data and deciding for ourselves which is the best fit.

Or being a sheep and believing whatever you’re told.

I admire you for thinking of a philosophy (Not a theory, can’t be tested.) but I must disagree with it for the reason mentioned above.

Can you share with us what limited data that a God exists? I have tried for years to find some…

Seriously? It’s pretty easy to find a lack of data proving God exists.

How will the world run during those few transitional years?

Topic: Serious Discussion / We are going to run out of oil. what should we do about it?

We have been running out of fuel since we started using it. North Sea Oil was going to run dry back in the 80’s there was a big scare about it as back then the UK actually fuelled itself rather than living in it’s overdraft.

It is a finite resource but (as Nick said) the problem isn’t it running out but the cost of extracting it. Once the cost becomes too high we will run out and we will need to look for alternatives.

The smart thing would be to start looking now, but the profitable thing is to sell more oil. Money makes the world go round, sadly.

Only if everyone was the same skill level.

It depends how much you play, if you play it constantly like some loosers people then I’m sure you will get a k/d of about 7-8, however if you work and play it for fun rather than as a religion then you are playing against those kids so a k/d of 0.47 ain’t too bad
