I'm still holding out on oe4 coming out, 1 man teams are really difficult and it can be hard to find the motivation to keep going when no one else has your back. Especially when no one donates in oe3. If you're still out there cww, just know that you still have a lot of loyal fans of the game in the oe discord who are itching to play a new space rts.

First try, 152 seconds, a tip I would share is as soon as a powerup/ball falls onto your platform, immediately get it to fall off, which will re-adjust your weight and allow you to keep the ball back onto the platform. Pretty easy hard badge if you do that.
Found a bug, when you press the button that doesn't allow you to buy more units than the building needs to upgrade, and then you keep pressing the 1 unit's right "buy" button, it allows you to go into negative gold/food, but increases you gold per second. This is incredibly useful in buying the workshop, which increases your gold by a very large amount, boosting speed in your late game. Don't worry about food, as you can do the same trick with all the other buildings until you can buy staffs that will push your food to the positives. (+) to keep this comment alive for others.
This game needs some way to toggle productions and set different units to different productions all at once. Its a pain having to scroll down, select something, scroll up, boost its production %, and then find out that it quickly reduced something to 0, and caused 1/2 of my units to go 0 production. This causes me to constantly scroll up and down adjusting to get thing perfectly. Otherwise its a good game, but a little too many variables and different units for me to micromanage this idle game.
Well I see what you guys are going for, but the reason I'm lvl 99 is because I asked Fate and many other pros on camp tips (that was when I was around lvl 40), and the tips they gave were really good, even if you didn't have good units. I'm not saying your all noobs, but asking for advice before posting about the difficulty of the lvls would help weed out the comments and increase the chat amounts. I really only play around an hour every week or so to check up on the players and I'm not a genius. Many strategies that can get you around lvl 60 can be done with blanks (haven't tested) or decent greens, but people would rather complain that they don't have perfect reds to do a certain fight than ask pros what other strategies can be used. Reading wimpy (not purposely trying to say some players suck) comments when people could share information is depressing.
These comments highlight the main fact that people who fail are who don't improvise. Let me start by saying I am lvl 99, and no, I have not paid a dime into this game, nor hacked to beat any fight. I'm not even a decent player and anyone who complains they can't beat a certain ai under lvl 60 should first ask the people who are a lot more experienced on tips how to do an ai before posting in comments how rigged/disadvantaged the fight is. All the ai can be abused and beaten up easily in this game (even at lvl 99 the fights are more of a chores than a real fight).
How to win with the futuristic race, buy the armed base, and then immediately save up for the kami tower and place it as close to the flags as possible, using the laser special as needed to get your troops to the tower. Then when you have a maximum # of troops on the tower, buy range boost special, and spam spotlights to outrange and snipe enemy units in THERE OWN BASE. + if this helped.
@D4rkn1ght insurance makes your turrets sell for 75% of the price, and if they are destroyed by any other means (except black hole) you get 50% of that turret's price back.
The "boss" stages in this game are boss stages for a reason. There hard, but "cheap" strats usually work. The ol' win by spamming caps doesn't work cuz its a "boss". If you don't see where I'm going with this then I can't help you.
@solder I opened up the game in a new tab and had 2 running at same time. It didn't say I disconnected from each tab and I can fight myself in private matches...
