a game with great potential, but it fails due to the bugs. I'm not sure who's voting down other comments talking about this, but there's nothing more frustrating than to play 10 waves only to have an engineer wig out and have to quit. YES, I did try the calendar button; several times, in fact.
I would not recommend this game to others. Too bad that Kongregate would put a challenge on a game that obviously isn't finished yet.
I would think this is an easy fix: if the enemy hasn't done any damage for 2 minutes, then they die. This is a 'hold 'em off if you can' game, right? so if I'm taking no damage, why is the wave still considered in progress?

Es un fastic de vegades queda algun enemic viu que s'entreten a destrossar estructures on no hi ha ningu ni els barren el pas, o van disparant contra res, o simplement es queden quiets en zones o no hi ha res i no es moren i no pots acabar l'onada d'atac, es colapsa massa!!!
no puc completar ni una sola campanya!
s'hauria de poder construir en ple joc per quan passa això
de moment un 1/5

I found a bug. When i was playing the graphics stopped working. You hear the gun fire but dont see it and nothing dies. Crap.

how to win in any stage with a choke point, 1. be prussian 2. get as man puckle guns as you can and make a thin layer of barricades and infantry

i think this game would be better if each unit gained power/fire speed after each wave they survive. Kinda like veterans versus recruits...

5/5 game, only issue besides the HOLD fast forward - was the fact that after you got the in-game achievements the game became insanely easy. Still great game.

I haven't got onto the hard levels yet but so far two rows of British Green Coats backed up by a Pickle Gun seem capable of decimating anything that comes along. It is nice to see the engineers falls in a hail of bullets.

Easiest way get through this game is use the British. (1) Surround your blockhouse with one layer of palisades. (2) Unlock redcoats, place them on the palisades, and use this until you have enough money to unlock the greenjackets. (3) Unlock the greenjackets and replace the redcoats as you have the money. (4) Expand the palisades in all directions 4 layers deep, and you're set to beat any level. (5) Right before the last wave of a level, sell (click > del) and buy greenjackets until you're out of money for the fastest way to get the half unlock cost for them.

i just noticed this: the there is a bug that you dont get the double gold at the beginning of the game from w/e achieve it is... i forget, but anyways, i only get the double gold on that very first lvl that you do the tutorial on :( otherwise i get reg gold + 500 because of the victory with a faction achieve (like "To The Death!")

last level after round 6 I had 2 rows of 8 cantonists x3 and didn't need to rebuild/repair anything until round 39 when they send a ton of engineers to the same side. Obsessive achievement impossible if you get A Father to His Men... I think others reported the french don't get the discounts even tho it displays the reduced cost the charge is full. Not that the discounts are needed. Great idea but needs some fixes. Looking forward to a sequel!

You get some achievements without fullfilling their requirements. I just got "King's Artilleryman" and I never played the french (of course not!). Nice game otherwise.

Itsd quite annoying when thers 2 british snipers left and your french soldiers cant kill em cause they are out of range.. and your on the highest level of wall... =\

Far far far too easy with no tactics required. On the final stage I managed to fill the entire map with palisades and greenjackets. Surprisingly enough, that worked.
The fast forward button needs to be a toggle and not a hold and needs to go much faster too. The navigation from the menu was confusing, and there's no way to upgrade the walls once their built. The cannons take too long to reload and so are pretty pointless and the traps are a waste of space and money.
Its almost a really good game but you just need to tweak a few of the settings to make it harder.

My opinion on improving the game: 1) Toogle speed button (not hold) 2) Achievementprogress x/100 for example 3) Free cannonadjustment (360°) or at least different range for each cannon 4) Higher range/lower damage of Prussians, cause they often get killed by other units due to the EXTREME low sight..

Here's a strategy that best works with me so far.....I call it the C strategy. Step 1:Along the block house, buy palisades the border it,as well as troops.When you buy the palisades make sure you put them along the blockhouse,facing towards the upcoming bad guys.If theres a weak spot in the back of the blockhouse,just barriacade it.as your team develops,buy curtain walls.continue fighting and earning money,and your block house should have 3 layers,1 starter layer of palisade,and 2 layers of curtain wall.After you have done that,baricade the outside of that.now buy snipers (if your engliseh or cannons or whatever and i hope this helps.

something stupid happened to me right now on the first map at 19/20.
the enemy is standing in front of my traps and isn't moving.
now i have to restart whole game again :((
therefor 2/5

When I upgrade earthworks the thing stays greyed out. I can buy it multiple times for 1750 each time. I can upgrade my curtain walls into it though....

If you leave a tiny gap in your wall most of the enemies wont even stop to attack i was able to win almost all the levels like this

another strategy I found worked on maps that are open is to build your walls like an inverted V, that way, they run into the middle and spread out their attack. This lets you 1. attack from multiple angles and 2. spread out the attacks so the enemy isn't focusing down one wall. They tend to spread out and shoot all the walls at once, which fails. Add in level 3 infantry and this should get you through any map.

The french earthworks is bugged, but in order to build it after buying the upgrade, just click on your existing level 2 walls and upgrade manually. HTH.

In order to allow the 2nd line of cannons to not be useless, place an empty gap between your first row and the 2nd, that way, the 2nd row won't start firing until the first is finished its shot. This makes sure they don't target the same (dead) troops. Sorry if my explaination is confusing, just remember, if you have two rows of cannons, place 1 empty space between them. It makes them more efficient.

Does it bother anyone else how poorly balanced this game is? I got Green Jackets with nothing else and won a hard map with 24000+ gold left over. On the other side of it, mines are so over-priced that they're useless!
