Foursaken Media, Do any of your games now or in the future support controllers? (like Steel Series or Logitech or Moga etc.)?
I think in the later rounds, especially when the enemy has their own bases for you to take down, they have their own heroes. They may have spawned a duplicate of one of your own heroes. They are kill-able. Not necessarily, depends how you play. Gunners are good since you bring them up quick, but aren't too powerful. Banners I think are only effective when allies are near your base. I typically save up for high power long range (sniper) and flash bulbs (short) range. Maybe thrown in a shield to protect against ranged attacks later. I typically stay away from the consumable mercenaries. Once they're gone there's nothing to show for it. I like to invest in the weapon upgrades, armor piercing equips, and any life giving equips (Life Amulet for Aphid; the 2HP/s equip for Beetle) That's a tough one. Only advice is to use heroes than can buff the spawned allies. Army Ant comes to mind. Also always be on the look out for parts for upgrading. Faster you upgrade them; the easier time you'll have in the tougher later rounds.
Hey Deadclown regarding your 4th question I have found that some rounds you do not have to advance. For example a round where you have to save x amount of ants or destroy x amount of bug holes you do not have to advance those rounds and the enemies during that round will not get any tougher and parts and food will continue to spawn. This way you can build things up that need to be and then advance the round when you are ready. Don't know if this is what you were looking for but hopefully it helps.
My favorite heroes are currently Field Mouse Ranger and the mantis. I also enjoy using bumble bee and fly combo. I think worm and pill bug will be quite formidable once worm is fixed. Black widow and pill bug work well together as well.
Just played a game with fly for the first time, he is amazing. I recorded a clip of the 4 star mission I was doing. I played badly and wasn't even concentrating properly, just look at his "gnat Banditos" spell. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jIBN3aqqMCs
Experiencing some really major framerate problems when there's lots of things happening in the screen. I don't know how I survived that 15th round in those circumstances but I did. BW's Shadow FTW.
1) Not sure how that could happen... Tarantula has mind control ability but it doesn't affect other heroes... looking into it. 2) Bug Banners aren't a bad choice if you're going heavy on mercenaries. They affect all ally creeps all across the map, so a good choice. But the great part is that as long as you have a cohesive strategy, most turrets work well. Another good strategy is to build turrets that compliment your heroes... for example if you're heroes with low armor piercing, maybe get snipers and autocannons. 3) Equipment is a very important part of the game! Your heroes don't scale very well unless you get them new armor and new weapons. 4) Those levels are imbal right now - fixed for next update. 5) Its a decimal, correct. Its strictly whatever level you are in game goes towards your mastery. Diamonds in endless are earned on a per round completed basis, with bonuses the longer you survive. The update was submitted quite a while ago, so just waiting on Apple. We will support controllers in the future, for games where it makes sense. We will NOT force-feed controller support on games that won't work well with it. Bug Heroes 2 for ex is not a good controller candidate. Heroes & Castles would be.
Re: controller support. Why do u feel heroes amd castles is good for controllers, but bug heroes 2 isnt? I feel controllers will be good for both. Regardless, i love this game!
Seems like there are twice as many on-screen buttons in BH2 compared to H&C. Each bug has 4 abilities. There is a button to change camera view. A button to swap characters. There is a button to make the non-controlled character stay put or follow. There is an interaction point on each turret at your base and the food stash. There is also a button to make your bugs feed. Also have a button for attacking. That's a lot of buttons right there.
Everything in H&C is easily mapped to buttons. Whereas BH2 utilizes the screen for a lot of contextual things: a.k.a. Not easily mapped to buttons
So mastery exp is based on your in game level, I assume you get more from one level from lvl 25 to lvl 26 than you do from one level 1 to level 2? Also, Field Mouse skill Support Squad, what is benefit as we level it lvl 1-5? It has identical description and the Commando units don't seem any stronger lvl 1 or lvl 5
2 local coop games tonight both ended in us getting disconnected. We could both play but it was like 2 single player games. Are there fixes in the update for online stability?
This just happened again... Around level 10 on local coop, some sync message appears for like 1/4 a second, my view shifts to overhead and we get disconnected but each play as single player games... It's annoying to say the least...
Are there any Canadians that don't have this game yet? First few ones that pm me your itunes email address will get the game gifted to you. If you are not a Canadian, please do not pm me about this as I don't want to gift a game only to lose money because you are from another country. Thanks.
