To pass chapter four (hard): You need to destroy all of the enemies; that includes the spider tanks being produced every turn and the scorpion tank next to the warfactory. What to consider: *the mortar and all of the trucks can destroy a spider tank on open ground in one hit. **the spider tank can usually destroy any of your vehicles except for the annihilator in one hit. *Use the annihilator to tank damage and deal extra damage, you will be able to retreat it and repair it on some occasions. **You need to get at least one ranged unit past all of the blockades to destroy the scorpion tank, preferably the rocket truck since it has longer range.
*Your ranged units are vital for this mission, losing one can mean a restart is needed. *You can sacrifice your other tanks at the end to deal the extra damage needed to destroy all of the enemies.

Even on hard the AI does make some monumentally bad decisions, at one point he moved his warmachine into range of two of my rockets.
That said, still a good game.

for level 4, you have to destroy the scorpion tank in the lower right area...(it took longer than I thought: if you lose both [possibly even
just one, on hard] of your ranged units all you can do is restart).
hopefully this will help: the big tank is a good friend when you want to advance with the rockets and mortar...try to save it as well until you can hit the scorpion tank (block, advance, repair if covered by other units, etc.). Eventually use the rest as cannon fodder, if necessary :D

Smaller resolution or better edge scrolling or something please. Super annoying to have the game constantly shifting focus and to have to find the little button on the edge to put the screen back where you want it.

wow just a little one sided don't ya think? Almost 2 on 1 in every mission with few choke points. What defensive placements you can use you usually have to spend 3 turns setting up your defense. In that time the enemy is surrounding your minuscule army. The game has potential. But an extremely high demand from players. Takes the fun out of many levels.

@lauren16 1. Any units that could walk over mountains in normal mode (soldiers and spider tanks) can do so in hard mode. 2. Terrain affects movement, so something like a forest or hill can mess with the amount of spaces a unit can move. 3. Hard mode gives the enemy a 33%ish damage increase, so it only looks like they do full damage relative to normal mode. Hard mode is a bit of a challenge, but the enemies don't cheat.

Bullshit game. I thought hard mode would give a nice challenge but instead it just allows the still stupid AI to not be bound by any of the rules of the game. Their units can walk over mountains, still deal full damage when they've taken damage (unlike my units) and sometimes the game outright lies to you about how far they can move, and they'll move one space further and attack (instakill all but your most powerful tank obviously). Even if you're a tactical genius you can't be prepared for that.

So very buggy. Just defeated a level, got the closing blurbs from the talking heads, and now it's just sitting there. No options, units aren't selectable, menu isn't available. Awesome. This is one BOTD that's not worth the headache.

The learning curve is extremely frustrating. Chapters 1-3 are no problem, then suddenly you are faced with overwhelming forces and unforgiving terrain on Chapter 4.

This is the only flash game series that I've played completely through at least 3 different times. Really wish they'd make more episodes.

Why cant i destroy enemy factory with my rocket? And why does not my tank fire when fired upon like the enemy tank does.

Bonus map won't play for me, either. As others have reported, the enemy begins his turn and then freezes. How are we supposed to get the BOTD if the game doesn't work? >:o

Won't load. Gives an error about needing local storage and instructs me to hit "Try again" to fix it clicking it does nothing.

Lets reach back for a game Published Jan. 10, 2010 for BOTD... because there's nothing newer that is worth giving a badge.
