Quite a playable one. There's no need to buy DNA; just wait a couple of days for a decent everyday bonus.
Here's my setup for late chapter 1 and early chapter 2. First, I spam crossbows in every available slot; I never upgrade them 'cause it would slow them down. As soon as I have some money, I free one or two slots for catapults, and immedately upgrade them to rocket launchers to deal with spawners and healer packs. And the last, 3 to 4 slots go for cannons, which I upgrade to double-barrel machineguns to get rid of flyers and runners.
How to honor-guard: (1) go to Base/Honor Guard page, press "Request Guard" button. (2) Copy the link (the one with "VictoryAwaits" in it) and paste it to chat. (3) Paste the same link to "HONOR GUARDS" forum topic, so ppl not in chat can join too.
If you see an HG request in chat, (1) click player's name in chat and press "Friend" link, (2) go to Home/Friends in-game page and press "Refresh Friend List", then (3) click that HG request link. Note that honor-guarding is MUTUAL, so you get that dodge/damage bonus too :). Rate up so ppl can see.
To harvest crystals: (a) friend everyone you see in the chat, (b) go to your 'Friends' page in the game and press 'Refresh friends list', (c) create a new folder in our browser's bookmarks, (d) open a friend's profile, press 'Harvest' and bookmark this page in that folder, (e) repeat it for all of your friends, (f) open all the bookmarked pages once per hour.
Note that you're not 'stealing' from them, you're getting paid for doing their job (as they still get their crystals). So they don't mind :-)
Hint: the game calculates battle results before even showing the battlefield. No use watching the animations; just press 'back to opponents', your prize (ferrite, exp, etc.) is already yours at that point))
To get 'perfect' rating: (1) kill nearest ogre, (2) build farms, (3) hire troops, (4) attack nearest castle, (5) kill nearest ogre, (6) rinse and repeat. Do not bother upgrading or building mines or obelisks.
Nice game, as well as 1st part.
But I cannot get medal "Achiever 1". When I beat last two challenges ("Destruction 5" and "5x Combo") in Story mode, game immediately ends, and when I start another one, there's still "33/35 achiecements" in Medals screen.
P.S. in "Acrcade 25000" take H.I.G.H. Tech glider, Cruise missile, and no sleigh. Most in Fuel, then Height, then Length. And get 19K points :-)
The game hangs a lot when "fetching map list". Moreover, after encountering an I/O error it shows a "replay map" page instead of last loaded map list. That's quite annoying.
missiles rule the world, especially in "escort" missions ("2/6" and "4/6"). pulsers take care of ring ships (and are sold when no longer needed), missiles do all the other job.
