*cringe* An addictive, freaking hard game.
 
Yea, basicly your a castle. You pick people up and kill them. Yay! Incredible hardness. Just some advice; buy a temple and an archery range as soon as possible, and always be converting someone. Play the game and you'll figure it out...

Ugh. I stayed up over an hour playing it, completely forgetting I planned to make another attempt for a successful Sim City 3000 game on my last Saturday night before school starts for me.

Omg... why do you have to seduce me with such games... i was gonna do my homework.. but now....

240,000 points ^^, but cant kill those giants... 3 giants at a time is too much... only way to kill them was with those mana pools.

Hint: Get temple and archery range early, dont get so much archers, save those converts when you get the mana pool. After the mana pool your invincible... i have too few converts to make enough wizards.

edit: How do you use the temple and the archery range? I bought them but they do nothing.

You have to convert people using the temple. Just *lightly* drop a person inside of your castle. After the stream of light finishes, you can convert another person. Don't drop a person inside while your already converting though, or else they'll appear right at the gate and hurt you.

Meh, I've played this before...but very cool, very cool.

Xavier 08-17-2003 08:13 PM

I was bored... beat this

Majic 08-17-2003 09:23 PM

Holy crap dude! How long did you play?

Xavier 08-18-2003 04:29 PM

a couple of hours, I was realy bored...

OANST 08-18-2003 04:52 PM

It is fun but its really annoying at the same time. I couldn't make myself play past level 19.

Xavier 08-18-2003 05:30 PM

great, my saved game is still there... yay (beats level 32)

Majic 08-19-2003 12:06 AM

Gah, I'm catching up to you Xavier. I'm on level 22 now, well, actually my archers are. I have 350 of them. And 250 wizards. And then 10 workmen. Basicly, I can just let my archers play for me:) I converted masses of people with my wizards.

EDIT: make that 400 archers and 15 workmen, I thought I could use some more.

Joshy 08-19-2003 04:19 AM

Aah, do you guys lose alot of people per game? I keep getting 65 casulties, i had 80 wizards and 65 died... i can never regain enough next lvl.

OK this game is ****en stupid... i had 24 wizards and 4 craftsmen, after that lvl all my wizards and craftsmen died... wtf? do you guys have casulties rate that high as well?

Xavier 08-19-2003 08:05 AM

I don't use the converted people much...
I just let explode the ennemy kamikazes and the kill everybody... realy simple

Majic 08-19-2003 09:45 PM

I checked around online, and found out the reason for casuaties. Turns out, you need enough money at a begging of whatever round to support the amount of troops you end up with at the end.

Thus, you may have 3,000 points, but 17 guy people specified to a position. Since each positioned man takes 200 points a turn, you would lose one guy as a result of not being able to afford him.

Something like that.

Quite a fun game. I turned it off after 5 rounds but I might go back to it after.
