as many have mentioned, the AI is beyond awful, i like trying to follow a bot and having my command get ignored
*watches as my bot runs away and gets blown up for the 30th time*

challenges 4 and 5 need major reconsideration, that will definitely bring down my rating to 2/5, or at least beg to have the challenges badge impossible

challenge 4 isn't impossible...you just have to make sure the shield is closer to the dragon than your sword but not too close cause the dragon has a minimum range and if your shield is within that range the dragon will shoot your sword instead...only problem is that the bots are so hard to control...

I don't know if anyone else has come across it yet, but I've uncovered an inherent fault in the last challenge.

For all those who may come after me, I would suggest trying to manoeuvre the shield and sword on opposite sides of the dragon; have the shield slightly closer than the sword, but not too close to the dragon (it has a minimum range). That way you'll have a clear shot and won't have to deal with the bots' worthless manouevrability.

Well, I beat challenge 4, finally. However, by the time I did so, I was so frustrated that I was robbed of any pleasure of having accomplished the feat. :p

Challenge 4 is unbelievable. No restart, minimal control over your bots.. you can gloss over that to complete the rest of the challenges and the single-player game, but everything about this challenge is irritating. It's a decent game otherwise, but this one challenge completely destroys any value this game may have possessed.

ALso, challenge 4, why does it attack sword but not shield? It attacks sword repeatedly no matter where shield or sword is and then only shield is left, which I wait 5 mins for it to get destroyed because it never gets shot!

sorry for the double post but I just noticed a glitch in this game: When you send a bot to follow an enemy bot, the bot actually strays away from the bot that it's meant to be following and goes after another one instead and will certainly never shoot the one it's following.

the AI is TERRIBLE! I sent THREE bots that cornered ONE bot.then a bot appears far away and they attack the one that is far away rather than the one that could be finished in 5 seconds. As a result my THREE bots got destroyed instantly.

For Challenge 4: try to get the "sword" to circle around the "dragon while the "shield" distracts it. Still, a LOT of luck is involved.

Well challenge mode screws up what would have been a great game. The AI is just... Like trying to teach a retarded hamster calculus. And I swear the things in challenge 5 are faster than the bot you have control of... Anyways, this game almost made me tear my hair out.

i used "beat and away" tactic for challenge 4, shield in the front, sword at the back. approach--> 1-2 shots---> escape---> approach, it works if you have enough skills

Your AI program is terrible. Eithe rupgrade do all challenges to impossible or make this person redo his work. Sword does not follow shield, it instead loops around and attacks dragon. Shield does not go where you tell it to, it loops around sword and exposes it first, the gets caught on the loop. At least playtest your game before posting it. I don't care how shiny it looks, it it's no fun to play it fails. F-.

For challenge 4 your shield has to be outside of the minimum range for the "dragon" to shoot at it....You have to actively control is yourself, not just tell it to follow the dragon.

TO BEAT CHALLENGE 4:
If your shield is too close to the dragon it cant/won't shoot at it. The trick is keeping your shield close enough to be the distraction, but about a bot and a half length away. This is extremely annoying and requires frantic clicking and a small ammount of luck.
Challenge four is the hardest.

Challenge 4 is broken I swear. the dragon shoots right for the sword despite the shield being between the two. then it seems to let the shield follow it around for about 5 mins before it sets to work killing it

Nice little time waster although strategy boils down to ganging up on 1 enemy at a time and avoiding the corners. Challenge 4 is quite frustrating because ur fighting 2 opponents actually 1.the dragon 2.the bot A.I. actively trying to get you killed by ignoring your move orders and getting your bots stuck on each other or on walls or just making them move in random patterns fucking up any strategy you try to apply AAAARGHHH! ......... sry challenge 4 is really frustrating -.-

A pretty fun game, but the horrid AI makes some challenges nigh-impossible and more about luck then skill, even though they're SUPPOSED to be the exact opposite.
