the opponant cheats I have noticed. they steal your ships and send them back against you. as this is something you cant do i consider it cheating

Honeslty, I thought the Human campaign was extremely simple, even on Meduim difficulty. Having no experience in such games, I was able to make my way through all the missions quickly without ever losing once.
I decided to do this strategy: Maximum RP rate is MUST. Maxing the motherships cannons also helps, so you dont have to counter a lot of the "smaller" ships. What I did once I got the cruiser, is try to max out Corvette speed, Cruiser firepower (with the EMP upgrade, ofc), and try to upgrade Cruiser armor. What I did was send out a cruiser on one lane, and spam scouts to protect it. This worked extremely well for me, because even if my Cruiser died, I could continue my Scout spam and eventually win. :)

The awlon ion frigates are amazing upgraded... Even the scout rushes got torn apart by three or so of them. Between the range and power, they seem to be unstoppable.

i found the first battle of conquest exceedingly difficult. this is probably because at this stage both sides are compltley evenly matched, the only way to succeed here is to hunker down and grind away as many kills as you can on enemy ships, and rely on the salvage afterwards. this needs a shedload of patience as it took me about 40 minutes to raise the funds for "obamizer" (playing awlons). but when you do this the advantage tips in your favour and you should be able to complete the stage reletivly fast =D

I seem to be running into a bug unlocking the second bonus mission for the xeyed. It says to finish in under 6minutes to unlock, I've played the mission several times and beat it in as little as 3 minutes and still the level hasnt unlocked.

don't really understand these strategy games that units can only move within a certain row. whether its ships, soldiers or whatever 90% of these game can be won simple by spamming one or two rows with the quickest cheapest units. Not much strategy really.

to win the 25 wins in darwin mode, the only way possible is with humans. The EMP just do it alone. In lvl 13, where the protoss cruisers spawn, and do the "warp" skill, just use emp and spawn drones, and they will fall in no time. Other possibility is to EMP, then spawn a cruicer, then "quantum wave", then emp, another cruicer (if you cant, just spawn bombers or drones), and so on. I got to wave 29 that way, where a mystake took me to the main screen....

@DragonSpire You know you have to use bombers for destroying the enemy mothership? Scouts do almost zero damage vs heavy armor...

Lousy tutorial. I don't get how to win the second mission. It just keeps going and going and the enemy HP bar never goes down... The pretty graphics save this from being a 1/5. I'm rating it a 2/5

It's unfortunate that the scout spam strategy is so important... kind of ruins the balancing. Ions and scouts can defeat any enemy really...
Also, the diff curve is kinda off, first few levels are easy (as they should be), next few are very hard, then when you get the right upgrades, the game gets easy again.

why are the turrents so powerful?!it comlpetly makes the game to dificult to fast.first there should have been weak not destroying my.............everything in seconds when it takes a few to make ONE scout,maybe a cooldown time for the turrents would be a good idea.

Conquest mode is so absurd. The enemy has everything you have... except they usually have more. Send an ion against an ion? Chances are that you will lose. Send a cruiser + scouts against the enemy cruiser... the enemy cruiser will destroy your scouts and then your cruiser.

combo that i found to work great is the missle frigate with missles attacking in other lanes. just get 2 of them in different lanes but still close enough so they can help each other like 1 lane inbetween them an just spam those lanes.

Case in point: I'm on the Awlon campaign, planet Kentis. I can't remember the difficulty but I'm pretty sure I'm on hard. I need to beat it in under 8 min to unlock a bonus level. I beat it in 1:22 using only scouts and bombers.

This game would be a lot better if there was a point to buying things other than bombers and scouts. I've played through 2 campaigns and tried several builds, and still nothing tops bombers spam for dps.
