    Guess what? Classified.

    Ah thanks for that :)

    We have to be considerate of other people though, if he got stuck that early he might have done something wrong ie invested all of his money into reload speed of the machine gun and nothing else, which doesn't really give much of a boost. He's probably overwhelmed on a wave with a bunch of fireflies or momber beetles since he doesn't have enough units or firepower.
    Also I'm fairly sure he's got the 'bug' where he can't go to next gen and must wait for the timer (1 hour by now), which is fixed in the next update.
    Resetting data and starting from scratch, and putting money into mice assault squad would be an easy fix, but he probably doesn't want to lose his perks, considering he's actually been playing for a while.

    he's stuck because he can't pass on to new generation. he has no modifiers to work with.

    he needs to reset for two reasons: to break out of the no-regeneration loop and to make sure he didn't miss something in tutorial. it's possible he's not creating/upgrading support units or something.

    edit @Duivs: I play a lot of similar games to Jayq, and he's more than capable. If he's struggling on lvl 7 or 8, it's because of a bug or because he's missing something obvious... it's definitely not a skill thing.

    Oh yeah it actually took me a little while to understand the two 'main' and 'support' tabs, so that could be be a genuine issue, but he's likely stumbled upon it by now. Fairly sure he's been playing for a week+

    Love the game!
    Foursaken have done a great job with War Tortoise, give them a break with the update release disappointment. At least it'll be a decent update addressing issues and adding a good amount of additional content.

    Am 26th generation and level 62 is my max so far. Prob not playing optimally, but enjoying the way it's going and incremental progress.

    Not fussed by the ads and video ads. They are very very unobtrusive.

    Have only recently appreciated the enemy graphic assets after getting the sniper rifle, really cool models. Am on iPhone so you don't really get to see a lot of the enemies up close. And especially after a few levels when you've got upgrades on range, a lot are mere specks on the horizon.

    Different camera options would be good. I'd like to be able to be zoomed in like sniper, but with the MG on auto. Or be able to strafe the camera a little to move behind the gun towers to see battlefield from a slightly wider side angle. Or Zeppelin view. Or even view from where the enemies spawn would be great!

    Speaking of sniper, would like a reload button rather than having to use the whole clip. Unless I'm being maximum noob and have missed the reload option!!!

    Don't really like the look and format of the upgrade screen although of course it functions just fine. I'd have preferred a grid format and seeing more in one go rather than having to scroll.

    Would like to be able to see stats in the pause option or after the game is over. Tracking stuff like number of each enemy type killed, or damage caused by each weapon, which enemy killed you, how many times your supports died etc.

    What about being able to place your support units? Would be great to be able to spread out the mouse gunners or howitzer beetles and try different set ups - maybe grouping gun turrets etc.

    And just a few more ideas for the wish list.....:)
    - Ability to switch between and take control of support units.
    - Co-op mode...double tortoise action, or both being able to switch between any units.
    - Gore mode : option to turn on blood and guts and have limb / head specific damage that affects enemy movement etc.
    - Bonus levels of some sort. Maybe where you take the tortoise and its walking towards an enemy stronghold so you're going on the offensive with your supports and you have enemies to kill as well as buildings (nests, molehills etc) to destroy.
    - Skill tree for all support and weapons for more variety. For example, Biggin Mouse upgrades after a certain number of kills - choose flamethrower or sniper upgrade, then next level chose between range/spread if flamethrower or piercing/poison ammo if sniper, then next level grenade attachment or body armour etc etc.
    - Customisable tortoise in terms of colour, emblem, armour style. Purely cosmetic!
    - One off power ups/attacks - maybe smart bomb, stun grenade, tail swipe, kamikaze mouse. Or maybe ultimate attack being giant magnifying glass sun beam attack where you direct the beam for a few seconds.

    Happy blasting to all!!!

    Nice additions definitely but maybe they can first just adjust the damage scaling metric before thinking about a complete face lift of the game. I'm at 30 maybe gen 9 or 10. Also, sniper only seems to be firing manually at any upgrade level.

    My issue with using the sniper and howitzer, which makes me only use them rarely, is they zoom so far into the screen. Your field of view is cut down so much. I wish there was a way to dial back the zoom. The weapons are pretty powerful though especially once you pump cash into them.

    [Didn't want to quote original post because it's so big]
    Some of those additions sound cool, but would tale so much time to implement its not funny. Also that would totally go against the concept of the game since it's meant to be in between an active and idle game. Think of an extremely good cookie clicker.
    The bros don't want this to be all about strategy and tactics, they already have games about that (H&C2 especially!). Also lets not forget that this is a free game, and it's just not reasonable to get 'everything for nothing'.
    Not trying to comment bash but don't be surprised if some of your suggestions aren't feasible.

    The one point I do agree on though is the sniper reload. I think a double tap of the sniper button or a one second hold would make a nice reload function without taking up the screen...

    If you put the MG on auto-fire and then opposite of pinch should zoom in so you can look at the enemies. That's what I do on my mini at least.

    Correct. I apologize, I said it badly.

    Jay is on the board a lot. I couldnt understand how he could get stuck so early.

    Just remembered that auto isn't available until you next gen so he can't even do that yet. My advice would be to either wait until the update or rack up away cash for good upgrades

    I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around his problem. I played at least to level 10 before dropping $ on this.

    Yeah agree. Most of the ideas were pure pie in the sky. In its current state, I've sunk more hours into this game than any other this year so far. The impending update looks great, so we're definitely spoiled already!

    Last time it happened a restart fixed it but I guess you haven't had a solution? No double away money or free perks :/

    I didn't word that well. I haven't had an ad work for over a week. No solution. No perks either. Like I posted before, I've shelved the game until the fix is implemented. I have no more interest in being one shotted when I have 3 level 3 weapon bumblebees and 2 second level weapon sparrows, 3 mortar racks with super splash radius, 4 gun towers at second level weapons, 2 undercarriage turrets with high range. I'm done. End of short story.
