Yeah I guess it doesn't work for me. I sold all my weapons, shields and forged my armor from the other elves to remove the equips from them and it just crashes xD pure dual wielding it is then lol.
Everyone has kind of picked up on the fact that your black smithing is race-focused more right? So if your Are a dwarf you are going to get guns and axes, if you are an elf bows and quick swords, etc... Wonder what the algorithms are for these...
My friend just did as you said regarding upgrades and the game just went into easy mode lol, thank you! I'm sure it'll be more difficult as I progress but at least I can take a breather in the beginning instead of counting down the seconds!
Last night, I literally kept getting rekt by a goblin wave. Tried using the greatsword and dual wielding; nothing worked out for me. Kept feeling like I had no command points to spend on getting more troops too. I'll try again in a bit though.
Each time I come here the thread has grown by 10+ pages :0 What wall turrets should I buy? I have one cannon and one crystal, but I don't know what to buy for the others. I like how I will get absolutely smashed in a level, but be able to overcome it if I use a different strategy Also, does playing multiplayer change the day? And can you play with more than one person in coop? I've only managed to get 1 ally so far.
This thread is getting massive quickly I have no real idea what to spend my Crystals on! Any tips for starting, or any clue as to what page to skip to to get some tips? (I hate asking the same question as someone else but 60 odd pages is a lot to read through!!)
Has anyone thought of or is willing to make a group for this game on Facebook? So people can post their Game Center ID's, play multiplayer together, and other stuff? I feel like it'd be more efficient than scrolling through all the comments in this thread, but that's just what I think.
Spend some crystals for a better weapon, at least enough to let you solo a band of basic skeletons or goblins. Then start upgrading units to at least third level. After that upgrade the walls 2-4 times then upgrade the crystal til you get the Captain. More than a few here have adapted the Captain strategy and they are enjoying it.
The issue for new players i think is that the first thougts into the game is to ignore the crystal early on, when it is infact pretty useful to get the Captain early and makes for a pretty headstrong strategy. The only times the Captain opening doesnt work is if the enemy's first units are mummies, orcs, or even spiders, because the captain most likely wont be able to get fed for the buffs.
You can still kite them around and weaken them quite a bit, but Spiders are the worst to do since they have their charge, and their bites hurt like hell. Mummies are the easiest, but I'd definitely not recommend kiting and weakening anything other than a basic Mummy. You're not gonna have a good time with anything else. Captains also do have 50% Armor Ignore, as well, so there's that going for them.
It's still going to take a while to feed your captains against those, even if you weaken them, in which case it may be enough time for the enemy to overrun your defense. I usually just put up an elven archer defense, maybe add an ice mage in, but the archers are usually enough to repel the initial wave in cases like this. Thing is, if it's just a few of these, they should be perma-stunned by a few archers. But if there's a lot of smaller minions, Captains do the job well and carry you to the end of the round.
Yeah, that's the other problem. It's possible to feed a bigun to a Captain if the initial start is only 2-3 mummies, let the Cap go ham on one, then take care of the others, but even with the mooks coming in, it's almost immediately a crapshoot from there and you'll have to drag in some of your own mates. And is it wrong that I almost exclusively use Riflemen as my wall dudes? I remember them being able to be broken in the first game with full upgrades on them, Forge, Longbeard and Captain's Tent, but they still seem like they're incredibly powerful in this one despite that you don't have buildings in this one. Probably just me, and me being an idiot and thinking out of my arse for it.
Thanks EP. I was thinking of starting again, but I am not far off what you said as a strategy Any good ways of actually getting crystals, or is it just playing through the waves and the map?
Misses in 99%? Are you using it in night levels? @Sambobsung about beta save fix: it is answered somewhere a few pages back. PM me if you can't find it
Nope, it was a projectile staff and just always missed. Idk why it kept missing. No matter how far or close I was all I would see was "miss miss miss miss". I ended up getting lucky though and got the omega staff (legendary) which isn't projectile and doesn't miss.
RNGesus was on your favor this night. Speaking of RNGesus, I had a similar time not too long ago. I got a Wolf Axe and a rare armor set in two rolls in a row. I was quite happy that I got something better than what I had. I'll miss that 80% armor pierce my Cbow had though... Ah well. 20 base damage is muuuuuuuuch better than 8... lmao
That's weird. I don't remember those staffs to miss so often when it is not at night or in fog. You weren't shooting at enemies with high dodge chance, were you?
Man, these crashes are beginning to annoy me a little, but I'm glad that even if I crash at the end of an invasion/siege defense, it counts as a win. I'm pretty certain Foursaken's sticking a hotfix like napalm to this game. I mean seriously, who else gives service like this?
