I can't figure out what the hell to do on the last level, all I seem to be able to do is maintain the initial 9 stars, the minefield to the right, and one of the mine stars to the left, beyond that, I'm completely stuck, too many defensive stars, fighter bases immediately recapturing anything I blow up with missiles... I'm at a loss here.

Buggy... but not immediately noticeable. Sometimes your ships fly off to nowhere and your population count doesn't go down. Sometimes the victory condition just isn't checked... Others too, but I cant think of what I've seen.

Like all these kinds of games, the machine has complete vision of the game field and can independently moved every piece independently. Make the machine use a mouse and misclick that tiny game field and this might be a fair fight.

For the peeps complaining about being too hard and/or laggy... There are difficulty and game speed options. Seriously, they pop up before every game.

i would have to agree that lag is a problem. i like this game, however it could definately use some improvement. 3.7 out of 5 cant wait for # 2

Overall very nice. Some really good additions to the nanowars theme, but the sluggishness on busy maps really detracts from enjoying the game.

AI could use some work. I saw one of the enemies in the Island Hop level surround his base with minefields. He couldn't get a single unit out. :S

Keyboard shortcuts are useless on Macs with any key, since Ctrl maps to Command, and Command is reserved for other things (Command + 1, for example, is first bookmark in Safari).

Lab is definately a problem, at the end of the second to last level I surrounded the last star which was a naval and it couldn't produce cause it didn't have money. I got rid of all my fighters and it was still barely playable because of the lag. So it doesn't have to do with the number of guys it just builds over time. very annoying

Game pretty easy on normal difficulty till the last lv, where its so laggy its impossible to do anything, I gave up in boredom. Great game but the AI lack intelligence. To kill defence bases, eather A use fighter drones to quickly after a while tear them apart, B use rocket planets, C get a 3-4X multiplayer with over 100 ships, or D the best one is just to wait till its the last planet then do whatever you want. The enemy will then eather turn it to another type and you can conquer it quickly or do nothing and you can turn all your planets into rockets economy or whatever and just blow it up.

I havent played a game this good on kongregate since sonny. Simple, fun, time consuming, and most importantly you can make your own strategy. there isnt only 1 way to go about winning.

how can you not beat level 2?? surround that big star, put all but 2 ship in the smallest close star, put one ship in each of the other 2 close stars. click and drag to select all of your ships. and then double click on the big star. that will send all of your ships at once at the big star + multiplier. and then you win.

No combination of any kind of base (rocket/naval/etc.), ship placement, attack direction, etc. does ANYTHING. None of the "tips" posted here do ANYTHING.

...and if it really is me that just plain can't figure out whatever magic is needed to complete the level, well guess what? THIS IS THE F***ING TUTORIAL. It sure isn't tutoring anybody on anything if it's so unclear that after an hour of trying absolutlely everything, there appears to be no solution. The purpose of a tutorial is to TUTOR.

Tutorial is nearly useless. Post the shortcuts in the description. Make double-click delay shorter or a different key. Very steep learning curve, for a flash game. Very frustrating overall.

if anybody is somehow stuck on tut, then:
take star to right of defence, then the one below it. turn the 2 nearest to defence into rockets, then send all troops at defence

Listen halfwits. Tutorial level 2 - I have read the instructions. I have the stars surrounded. I have a massive force. I have smaller forces doing the surrounding. NO COMBINATION OF ANY ATTACKS DESTROYS EVEN A SINGLE DEFENSIVE BASE. Nothing.
