    For the deck editor -- I forget, are you using the iPhone version, or the iPad version? They're slightly different, so I'm trying to make sure I check the right one.

    For combining versus selling, it can vary. You actually get a better "rate" so to speak, by combining cards. And it's definitely the way to go when you want a certain style of card, like summonable units or whatever. It's also better when you're advanced far enough along that you're combining, say, 3 purple cards: if you combine 3 purple defender cards, you know you're going to get some new kick-ass defender card that's at least purple, and maybe even gold. Whereas if you sold the cards and tried to get the same thing via a pack, it'd be more expensive.

    But at other points, yeah -- it's better to just sell your cards, especially if you don't care about that type, and use them to either buy packs, or increase your deck space.

    Hmm not sure, I just took a screen shot on my iPad (home and power button together) then cropped the pic in photos.

    I did notice that when you click to look at a card when you flip the card to read its stats the back of the card is white and doesn't match the colour of the card front.. Not a big deal just pointing it out.

    Also when in a multiplayer level the bit where your name is, is off the top of the screen so you can't see you opponents name.

    Just got to chapter 3 and wow it's stepping up in difficulty now, (still loving it) :D

    On card combining/selling I always go for combining for the chance I might get a really cool card,

    Yeah, we did the initial "desaturate the card" when you flip it because it was a bit hard to read on the brown of the wood, or blue of the card, or whatever. But I'm not really too happy with how it looks. What we should really do is create a separate version, that has the textured outline so you can tell what kind of card it is, while still keeping a simpler background for the text.

    I'll take a look at the multiplayer layout stuff, also -- thanks!

    I have a bad bug now. My reinforcements and farmer on bridge cards arent showing up or working. I also have arrows coming in from nowhere to attack monsters. This isnt just on one level. I tried full closing the game.

    Er, that is awfully weird -- I'm not even quite sure where to start in thinking what might be wrong! You've already tried full closing the game, which is what I'd suggest ... maybe ... are you able to attach a screenshot of the missing abilities and/or the arrows from nowhere? I'm trying to think what to look at to figure out what's going on!

    The missing reinforcements seem to be just on Townbridge now. I thought they were on other levels, but perhaps I imagined that part. I dont know which levels I was seeing the arrows from nowhere on, I'll check that.

    If you PM me your email, I can send you a screenshot. I have never fussed with posting screenshots and actually dont even really know how to do it (nor do I want too).

    Not sure what the screenshot is going to do for you on the reinforcement thing, but if I can capture the arrows from nowhere that might be useful to see.

    Will do -- and yeah, I'm never positive when screenshots will help, but sometimes they do.

    Also, sometimes I have the reinforcement/spell bar on the bottom, and sometimes its on the left hand side of my screen. No idea if I can switch it or how.

    So, on the iPad version, we made sure to make the red abilities bar draggable - you can dock it to any edge of the screen, and it's handy to make sure it's out of the way of other stuff.

    We kept the ability to do that in the iPhone version, but to be honest I'm not sure I like it -- there's enough less screen real estate that it can just make things confusing a bit, sometimes.

    Some of these later stages are not getting me any cards at all in play or reward. Luck has not been my friend here.

    The part where you aren't getting cards awarded in the win panel at the end is my fault -- after a certain point I didn't put those in, and really I should go through and at least make sure we award you 1 card or more.

    For the ones you win directly during gameplay, let me know if it keeps not awarding you any -- we try to make sure it does it often enough (win or lose), so if it's not, we need to check on why!

    I feel the same. Where abouts are you? I think I am stuckon the werebears.
    I get maybe 1 or 2 cards dropped per game when I replay old levels, not very good cards either.

    I am going to have to grind a LONG time before I beef up significantly.

    Grinding is bad! Yes, definitely report here when you guys feel you have hit a wall. The goal is to make the difficulty ramp up, but never jump from 6 to 20, or whatever. :)

    It felt fairly smooth to me, not always 3star capable right off which is good. Troubled Waters is the first one to really feel off for me. I haven't gotten any real cards in 3-4 levels now. 2 Def and 1 Off. All low end.

    I haven't had to grind yet. I also had trouble with Werebears and such. If I am not mistaken, mage towers work well with those bears. At least in my case, I used mage towers and barracks on choke points.

    That definitely could be my issue. early on I tried mage towers and they sucked, I pretty much havent used them since. Looks like I should revisit that idea.

    Just thought I'd say I'm this far in (see pic) and haven't had a problem with the difficulty yet, it seems really balanced to make you use different tactics and not just stick with using the same towers all the time.
    And for getting new cards, I do seem to get a few from playing but it's easiest to use the gems you earn to buy card packs from the shop as you get plenty of gems, and this is without selling my offence cards for extra gems, (I've kept them all for my offence deck)
