Wow this is lame, on challenge 4, Dragon keeps on targeting the Sword no matter what, even if Shield is there, he still attacks Sword even though Sword is farther

hmmm... the second time arround its pretty easy to beat the game SPOILER!!!
easy tricks to beating any level that youre having trouble on 1. math - simple math problems to see how much will fit, what weapon to use, ect. 2. sword and shield - use the highest HP bot you have in the back, 3. is an alternitive to this, and in my opppinion more effective 3. healing - have your healing bot get followed by a bot with a good weapon, give your healer good hp to keep him alive if you make a mistake (go in circles, making sure you dont get trapped in a corner, and making sure you dont hit the circles with your healer or he will go on atomatic AI) using 1. and 3. i did the final level in one try, having my team weight exactly 150

Spoiler for a easier (at least less frustrating level 4) - Before the match begins, tell sword to follow shield, then move shield around manually. If sword starts getting too close to dragon, cut it off, as it will often ignore the follow command in order to commit suicide against the dragon. It will take a while since this has to be executed almost flawlessly, but the matches will always last less time since the shield will still be absorbing most of the damage, hence removing the awkward stage after sword dies where the shield runs around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to pointlessly avoid the dragon.

The lack of a "stay still," button on the bots, and being unable to forfeit a fight in the case of a no-win situation (such as only having a shield or medic left) ruins the game. It's also impossible to control more than 1 bot at a time since the only permanent action is follow, which is completely useless for non-melee robots - even medic robots seem to have the habit of circling around directly in front of the enemies' line of fire if told to follow. Then movement is awkward, with a 1-2 second lag between the order and the action in certain situations. Then the fact that if the selected movement area is too close, the bot will ignore it completely. Then, the chess, evasion, and ranged challenge use the exact same steps to win. Still, it was a good concept for a game - the equipment and weight limitation system were executed well. 4/5 for the ideas, but 1/5 for the gameplay, so 2/5. :/

wth is up with the minimum range? on challenge 4 it keeps going after sword cause shield is too close :( still, despite it being very difficult to control bot, very good game 4.5/5

It would be great if the AI was better. I wish that there would be a way to set program settings to follow and attack certain bots, or set up certain parameters and let the AI run.

nice game:) but you should be abble to use wasd to steer and there should be a "Quit battle" buttom and a speed up buttom

The game would be much better if you could control bots instead of just giving diffident suggestions.
About that challenge 4. You got best chances if you let shield follow dragon and control sword. But be wary dragon has minimal range so it won't attack shield while they're next to eachother. Wait for dragon moving towards sword. If you're lucky shield will follow with a delay so dragon will attack shield. This is the time for sword to attack dragon from afar. Make sure to get out of range when dragon approaches the wall, because then shield will close the distance again. Then repeat. This might take a few tries though. I hope this helps a bit.

If you could control your bots with wasd or the arrow keys this would be a 6/5 game. Rate up if you share my thoughts.

Why the frig would a weapon have a MINIMUM range? THEY ALL FIRE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. This game has a lot of gameplay issues, but otherwise is fine, so 3/5.

This would have been fun, but the bot AI is absolutely stupid and makes the dumbest mistakes. My healers and medics and etc. just run between my guys and the enemies when set to follow, and when set to not following they just randomly run away from the guys who need healing. And the challenges are impossible for this exact reason.

Interesting. 4/5 IT needs better bot controls. Period. Also, the challenges are HARD. But the actual game mode, is not that hard. Except for the first three levels or so. Fight easy bad guys, get money, get best equpipment. Repeat. Though on the second level you need a lot of so so bots. and the third you need a few good bots.

Challenge 4, have to shield follow the dragon, and basically, just control the sword, you want to be 90 degrees right or left of the dragon while it shoots the shield, if you can make it behind the dragon it will be the best but it will take a bit ~20 tries or so, well, that's what it took me.

Congratulations! You just won the Mechanical Samadhi Badge and 30 points!....finally now to play the actual game mode should be easier from what I see compared to a couple of the challenges.

hmm now how to kill the guards....maybe if they stay grouped together like the bots in challenge 2 had I'd be able to keep my distance a little better
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
well decided to try contolling the shield instead of the sword that managed to get the shield killed first successfully but the sword chose to run the whole time ><

the only problem with this game is the weight restrictions, it means that you can't get good enoughr armor or guns on your bots to do some levels

Challange four is possible but you need skills, fast ordering and a lot of luck.
when the game is counting down set the order "follow target" for shield (follow the dragon)
then just control the sword and when the dragon is busy firing down shield move close to dragon so you can shoot him but not too close.... this might take a while but a little skill and youll get the hang of it
