Is it just me or do my bots go like Forget you and run off while the enemy bots are like Come here and fight me and keep shooting at my bots.

Challenge 4:Usually getting as close to max weight generally means best efficiency; I do this by placing priority on weapons before shielding, since you can always control to make up for less shielding, whereas not having enough firepower to kill the other guy means more time for you to make a mistake with your control. Also: don't do 3 bots. Ever. 2 bot system is the best :)

I just hate "Sword" bot! I had to play fkng 2 hours to get rid of a simple dragon! but sincerely the worst thing in this game: there is no "restart" buttom! how annoying can this be? But beside that, i'm truly satisfied with this achiev, and now i can lay down my head and sleep peacefully

Challenge 4: The greatest developpers have always understood that good control is equally important as artificial intelligence, and that one is useless without the other. Make your game by maintaining this balance.

Because everybody wants to read forty(!) pages of instructions before playing a game! For bonus marks, the controls are terrible. "You, robot, follow that other robot!" "Yes, sir! I will go to the point you just clicked" "I said follow that other robot!" "But you missed him by two pixels, sir, so I'll just go to that place next to where he was standing when you clicked."

Honestly in the beginning I was thinking this game is amazing. Not anymore after the 4th challenge. My robots just go in corners and makeout with the wall while the oppenent is killing them! Upgrades don't really do anything at this point. The AI is horrible! 3/5 until the controls get fixed.

You`d think that a bot named Sword would be more durable than a few shots.. but no... Kong, why can`t you just EXEMPT challenge 4 from this badge.. please..

The best way to complete challenge 4 is this: Get Shield to follow Dragon and watch Sword carefully. As Dragon cannot fire at bots that are very close to it, simply move Sword away when shield gets too close.

i love this game but when i upgrade i do it to much then i dont have enough money to buy the upgrades and then im stuck with a low level robot and then i cant win. SHIT.

Not bad at all for 2007. All it needs is sensible (like 1-4) hotkeys for the bots and it'd be 4/5, but click'n'drag is so ineffective I'm afraid it's only 3/5.

As a follow-up to my last comment only a minute before, I'm so enraged that I made a spelling error, where I wrote tehn instead of then. Also, during the matches, the robots just ****ing ignore the opponents until they almost die and are just like, "oh, there's an enemy robot here. Maybe I should attack. I'm almost out of health, but I just didn't feel like doing anything like a complete ****ing jack*** dumbs**t."

I apologize in advance for my words. I just really need to rant. First of all, I try to win a match, and I get the advantage, and tehn my bots act completely ****ing dumb. They get themselves killed when the opponent has almost NO ****ing health left, and they win, making me lose all that money and I have to grind the lower levels. Second, challenges four and six are completely ****ing impossible. I've tried them at least 50 times, and I never succeed. They just annoy the living s**t out of me. Other than that, I love this game.

Horrible controls, no "quit round". Career mode is fairly fun if you just let the AI control the robots. Challenges are aggravating due to lousy controls. 2/5.

for challenge 4, you don't really have to control 2 bots at once. set the shield to follow target on the dragon and then directly control the sword. time your strikes to move in while the dragon is driving clear across the arena actually shooting at the shield. any other time the shield will be too close and it will shoot the sword, but since all you have to mess with is the sword it becomes much more doable than trying to give them both location orders.

Just to let you guys know, about the 4th challenge, it's NOT that hard. The point is may be you guys forgot that weapons do have some range so DON'T MOVE YOUR SHIELD TOO CLOSE TO THE DRAGON(I think many ppl failed b'cos they ignore controlling and just let him follow the dragon automatically), or else that dragon won't be able to shoot shield bot and then instead target your sword. Hope that help & Pls plus to keep this alive!

1 hit from killing Dragon for challenge 4 my Sword decides to run off, Dragon pursues and ignores shield, kills sword, then kills shield. Why?! It just shows the AI in this ... they shouldn't shoot over units (both AI and yours) or stop attacking a unit (a unit you sent to do an action)

I really wish the weight limit was more lenient, countless times I've had to sell all of my things because I couldn't get into any matches.

I would say in the next game it might be helpful to put in a click and drag mechanic where you can select all your bots or some of your bots to do something like attack an enemy or stay in one position. The problem with that is that then the AI controlled movement would continue to move all around the place, and there is a certain degree of accuracy to your weapons. It would mean that the AI would completely demolish your robots because they were standing still and would get hit every single time, where as the AI bots would at least have a chance at dodging your shots.They could put in an option where you could tell your bots to still move sporadically around a certain position while still not running off to some where else. Perhaps they could also create a mechanic where you could put your bots in a certain formation, although all of these new options would start requiring much larger arenas. Perhaps in the next game they could start making game modes such as CTF and KOH
