Just had what might be the lowest damage run of all time. Got a bunch of civilians, a soldier, and a bunch of pacifists on the board, which combined made the odds of me actually taking damage really low. Combine this with some Internal Affairs Officers and Extra Life pieces, it was possible to increase my maximum hitpoints to around sixty or so, and because every boss took so long it was possible to get this relatively rare piece really often.

I could delay things further by getting the one-up piece, as well as by using a doctor + medkits to heal myself fully when my hitpoints got low. Since every hitpoint lasted like ten rounds, the odds of pulling off one of these maneuvers went up drastically, since I had many shots at getting either piece.

In the end, I could basically whittle down every single boss one after another, despite not really upping my damage at all, my highest damage piece was an engineer who dealt 36 damage. That's how I managed to take this game that's supposed to take a maximum of 108 rounds and dragged it out to over a thousand.

If it wasn't obvious, this is a cry for help, and a clear sign that I have spent way too much time on this game. It has been fun, but I should never play this game again for my own good, and I'm leaving this comment here as a reminder of that.

I rate this game a solid 7.5/10

Those are rookie numbers, you do not yet know the full power of the rat king

Dude why are some of my units just disappearing? My gold dragon just vanished out of nowhere

How is it even possible to make a game like this lag consistently? Everything is done in discrete intervals. I can understand lag spikes when processing all the units, but why do effects like tax accountant or mermaid or whatever cause the game itself to lag?

Edit: I figured it out, it's the draw calls! The lag happens whenever the figures get multiple different symbols, like multiple plusses or shields etc

Played this game obsessively due to wanting to know what happens when you make two suns collide. I now know that, and decided to give it my all for my last game. Very addicting, very exciting, 8/10, never wanna play it again because god I've wasted so much time playing this that I could've spent studying.

Sometimes the keyboard just doesn't work for some reason, you can't type stuff into your name and the spacebar can't be used to advance stages. Really frustrating when you've gotten used to that shortcut

that sounds like the fella you get when you upgrade the apprentice thief

After playing for a bit, I gorra say, cool prototype. Wish there was more control over what units you get though, it's really hard to create combos and such. Maybe you could add some sorta "unit catalogue" which lets you fave/ban certain units to more easily get the stuff you want. Maybe you could fave three units, making them twice as likely to appear(still taking ranking into account ofc) and also ban three units, making them not viable to be drawn.

ahh I see, ty for clarifying.

Also, the game kinda just booted me out after Thing X, is that the final boss and did I just skip through the end credits by accident?

cycad tendril does not seem to be working

ok yea communism is definitely better, no stability loss = you can just take any planet with no drawbacks. The hero mechanic is too unreliable to be considered equivalent

Welp I just got this score playing as the hive mind, so I guess communism is better?

capitalism at its finest (I was the trader-dudes, who then turned into a flesh-abomination)

ok tried it out with a friend from the UK(I'm from sweden) and we couldn't access the same servers. It seems the multiplayer needs some patching
