I've gotten all kinds of pRNG from -44(?) to +15, but I don't think it really matters :P
Trophies:
* salt, water & chlorine
* centipede mandible
* imaginary friend
* neutral ground
* forbidden knowledge
* infinite energy
* a safe word
* a y of X
No idea how to solve Holodeck (it seems like luck = pRNG, but you always enter with positive pRNG?)
No idea how to solve Money (aside from clicking 100k times)
Couldn't figure out how to enter Game Jam and Chaos - I know there are two sets of deterministic rules for dungeon routing, but couldn't figure out when each set is in effect.
Just a reminder that there is less than 32 hours remaining until the end of the highest score competition. Apiram is currently in the lead with 3,675,647 score, but I see that Silence and kentarooo both have a run with higher score that doesn't have a corresponding video. If you have a recording, please remember to upload it before the start of the New Year in PST timezone.
These are great tips! One thing I wanted to call out is that Summoner won't work with Necromancer/Necronomicon (raising dead doesn't count as summoning), but the rest is spot on!
Hey there - thank you for reporting this! I might have run into this on Safari before, but was unable to repro :( When you refresh, is your loss registered, or have you lost all progress and have to input your name again?
Regarding poison, normally the opponent should be moving towards your army, but maybe under certain circumstances (unfavorable terrain, doesn't want to get within your army's reach, etc.) it decides to wait until it's too late :D
Unfortunately right now you cannot. It's a reasonable feature to expect, but I could not think of a way to implement it that wouldn't make the UI even more complicated. Suggestions welcome - although I can't promise that I'll be able to add it anytime soon.
Oi mates. To encourage some friendly competition, we'll be giving out Amazon gift cards for the following achievements:
The first person to have a proven winning run will get a $100 gift card.
The first three unique people to have a proven run with score of 3,000,000 or more will get a $100 gift card.
The person that has a proven run with the highest score as of Jan 1 2023, 00:00PST will get a $200 gift card.
To prove a run, you have to upload a video (Youtube/Twitch/wherever) of the entire run and link it in the discussion forum. Full videos are necessary to prevent cheating. Submission precedence will be judged based on the time the video was linked on the discussion forum (in other words, if one run was finished later than another, but its video was uploaded and linked earlier, it's considered to be earlier).
Hey there - thanks for the report, and sorry for that crash!
I just tried a playthrough on Safari and could not reproduce it :| Have you by any chance tried a second time? If you do end up trying, could you have the developer console open to see if it prints any errors?
That said though, I noticed that on Safari the game has some other unexpected behavior (like, wiping out local storage when the browser is closed, which would delete all the progress). Until I get to the bottom of this, if you're open to a different browser, the game's been tested in Google Chrome and there it has been stable.
I loved the spaceship design in this game. Unfortunately the game itself was too hard for me to get past stage 4, and I got to enjoy the rest of spaceships from the video :D
I believe I only changed behind-the-scenes stuff like unit balancing, number of tiles per level, blessing percentages, etc. - but it's been a while so perhaps I tweaked the main menu help screen without remembering! :)
Either way, thanks for coming back to it - if you end up playing more, post your impressions!
First of all, thanks for playing and taking the time to leave feedback!
Regarding not knowing the goal - which of these (if any) do you mean?
You read the map and battle help screens, but they weren't informative enough
You did not read the help screens because reading is lame, and cool games should have an interactive tutorial that sucks the player in
You didn't know there were map and battle help screens
Good point on the world options really just being a enemy/reward combo - I found some charm in having it as an explorable map, but perhaps it feels tedious and obsolete at times.
Precise+ranged units (+Slow blessing :P) is just one OP combo that could get you a win. Looking at your army, it probably didn't even matter by the end because you had so many melee strong units. For instance, getting an early Angel/Balrog/Roc and a corresponding tribe army grower, or getting a Fly blessing and fighting on slow terrains (like Swamp) should get you quite far.
