A very good game, but I find it hard even in easy mode... er... at least for an old, eternal noob like me ^__^'
The first three times I died very quickly. The fourth and fifth times, I survived to around Day 40-42, then the waves overwhelmed me, especially those big damn fire/ice cats.
I focused on military units, maybe I should have tried genetics instead? But there are so many things to do, and I always lack resources (in particular, it looks like just a couple of battles going wrong start a Slippery Slope of Dooooooom for the reputation)... Or maybe I just suck at the game! :D
Some suggestions:
- background music is fine, but sometimes the beat sounds like bullets firing, making me think a battle is still in progress.
- when enemy is at the gates and I send long-distance shooters (e.g. Sharpshooters, gatling guys, leeches, etc), they are in a blind spot inside the base so I cannot see how many of them are there, and how many bullets they still have. I don't know if it is a characteristic of the game, or maybe just my setup (Windows 11, in the Google Chrome browser). EDIT 02/11/2023: I'm starting to get used to this, and while it has its cons, it also has pros - namely, it's the only way to order a precision strike at the best possible moment.
- in the Personnel menu, when I select a type of unit, it shows how may of them are in the base. It would be useful to also show how many of them are currently outside.
- sometimes the emeny big damn fire/ice cat glitches, especially when it is running to my base while my units are retreating (which may be a good thing, if it slows down the beast and save the ass of my units...)
Kudos again!
