I was always hoping they would make more of this game. It was simple, but also elegant. Its stepped up in some nice ways and could easily be expounded upon more. And even though there is no MP, i'd take this over the garbage that is Clash of Clans and Boom Beach any day. It astounds me as what passes as a mobile RTS style strategy game these days.
Forgive me, haha, I've become more of an infrequent lurker. And with that, I've also been playing less and become much more stingy! What does this have that the first doesn't? They were definitely a bit brief with the app description (per usual)
If its just a beacon (meaning no build areas or resources), nothing other than field of vision. I think the previous mech com had a bit more purpose for them, but i could be wrong.
They added a skirmish mode which is all I wanted from the first one. Especially for a buck! Yeah I've definitely become more a lurker as well. Even after getting a console I still go back to mobile which has surprised me.
awesome thanks. Another thing that I don't get. On Domination, certain "Zones" have More resource or less, same with technology. Also the progress bars below the map. What do these numbers actually mean?
The bars for each map have different numbers due to how much progress they give you. So if the area you fighting for has 40 resources and 25% tech, that means if you beat the level and take that spot, you get 40 more resources at the start of each battle and your tech bar fills up on the bottom by 25%. And thats what those bottom bars are - they show you how many starting resources you have and how much percentage of your gauge is filled until the next tech upgrade you have are. Generally its a good idea to go for spots that help you with certain strategies; if you need a fast start, go for high resource locations. If you need stronger tech, go for spots with higher tech upgrade percentage. Hopefully that makes sense....kinda surprised that dont tell you any of this in game at all. Side note - the game just got updated with MP! I tried it but it wont really search for opponents yet. Probably because their are none yet. Hopefully peeps will update soon and start trying it!
