Re: my previous comment: you have to pay those tomatoes to get the achievement, so I probably actually ran out. I'd delete my other comment if that were possible.
I had at least 3000 tomatoes (got the Ironman achievement recently), and while planting a field (6x6) of tomatoes, they all disappeared from my backpack.
Progress definitely shouldn't be erased from an account - please try to refresh once or twice and make sure you Kong username shows up in the top left of the game. Perhaps you got logged out/not authenthicated properly and detected as a guest/new account instead.
It doesn't crash for me (Firefox on Linux). The setting is cringe. The gameplay is meh JRPG-like: lots of abilities are just strictly better than others, only they have to charge for longer. Each character seems to have an ability that can be used each turn, an ability that can be used every other turn, and an ability that has to recharge for two turns, so you end up hardly ever using the first ability. I suspect there's an endless amount of grinding and gambling to keep you occupied, but it's boring.
All kinds of words that could be considered offensive or unpleasant are simply not recognized, even though they're valid words. Pretty decent game otherwise.
The first three badges don't take that much time, but the fourth one will take a LOT of time, and it's not fun, like most games on zombie-Kong nowadays.
@JaredJames Their site is also broken (always has been) that if you're accessing e.g. the support page via Kong, it'll redirect you to this page (i.e. here). I managed to submit a support request by using Private Mode, so it didn't recognize me as logged in on Kong. Still no reply. Maybe after the weekend. It's just stupid that they intentionally broke the login process.
@JaredJames That means your Ubisoft login hasn't been connected to your Kong account. Neither has mine. I've contacted support, but since they've been unable to automate the process, they're probably swamped.
There's a bot that buys things on the market, so make sure you select the highest possible price for everything, even if they're quick private trades. The bot(s) will just enumerate markets to access even those regular players shouldn't have access to. This is an oversight by the programmers.
How do you get more research points? I only have 1 Easy point left, and many researches require those. I switched to Normal difficulty. Should I switch back?
