[ROYC75]

You must post a warning to anything on that site, it has channels to pornography........ Don't believe me, wait, somebody at work will bitch about it due to their security issues. :D

BTW, can you drop me a line sometime.......

[AustinChief]

yes good point...

WARNING.. that site has some inappropriate content.. but nothing bad at the direct link I sent.

[Hammock Parties]

Damn, I got to level 4 I think.

[Hammock Parties]

I almost survived day six that time.

[cadmonkey]

ACCESS DENIED!!!

[Amnorix]

I almost survived day six that time.

Day 6 is a whole new level.

Gunmen -- are good...

[Hammock Parties]

Day 6 is a whole new level.

I found gunmen to be a bit useless. The second time around I saved up for the guys who restore your health. They were kinda useless, too.

[Amnorix]

I haven't tried craftsmen.

Seems to be all about gunmen, clip size and repairing your walls. I almost got through day 6 (I had 4 gunmen by that point).

I have NO FREAKING IDEA how anyone could ever afford an assault rifle or pillbox...

[PastorMikH]

Almost got through day 9 here. They were blitzing the wall like a bunch of Mexican soldiers at the Alamo.



I had 12-15 gunmen and 30 or so rounds. Let the gunmen take care of the long range and lay down machine gun fire at the wall.

Yep... that's as far as I got.

Build up that outer wall, repair, and increase your rounds as far as you can afford it. 2-3 gunmen are okay, but can be annoying when they take down the guy you're firing at. (waste of your ammo)

[ROYC75]

I didn't know Kevin had so many relatives.

[Kclee]

I got to day 10, but wasted my money on the missle silo. I guess I had to buy someone to work it because it just sat there. I could have done a lot with that 35000.

[DenverChief]

addicting

[Amnorix]

What is with the random values to increase the wall strength. I've seen $4,000, $3,000 and $8,000 on the FIRST purchase. I spent the $4K and 3K, and each time got 50 points increase in my wall, so it doesn't seem tied to the benefit??

:spock:

:spock:


I don't know. The first time I played, day 1 was over after only 5 guys, so I only got 500 bucks. It's been different every time. And I'm afraid one of those guys might have actually been Rain Man since we haven't heard from him since. He was a brave one that Rain Man. RIP.

[DenverChief]

does upgrading the wall fix the wall?

[Kclee]

does upgrading the wall fix the wall?


Nope.

[Mr. Laz]

fun game ... wish the gunmen fired more :shake:

[DenverChief]

Nope.
:banghead:

[Mr. Laz]

:banghead:
i'm sorry, but banging your head against the wall won't repair it either.



pay up!!! 800 bucks or they rape and pillage your family! :mad:

[Amnorix]

GAH!!!

Died on level 12. 18 gunmen, 36 bullets, and a wall as strong as it gets (250 points). Only 1 craftsmen. Never bothered with either fortress (could never afford it) or the missile silo.

Starting on level 12, these guys with bazookas come out and only go a little ways in. They're easy to see because the bazookas are white, but the problem is you can't do the "wall defense" method. The bazooka guys also take at least 4 shots to kill.

I think I'm done with this game for now... Yikes is it addicting...

[Rain Man]

What? What'd I do?


I'm going to have to try this game once I finish a deadline today.

[DenverChief]

level 13 --21 gunmen and 26 bullets 4th level wall...still going...lil f#ckers have rocket launchers now to bring your wall down

[Phobia]

My craftsman didn't do shit. Really. He laid on his ass all day.

[Amnorix]

[Amnorix]

Interesting. I had more bullets, a better wall, but fewer gunmen, and died on level 12.

A 250 point wall is the max.

I think what killed me on level 12 was not noticing the first RPG guy that came out for too long.

[AustinChief]

My craftsman didn't do shit. Really. He laid on his ass all day.

Than just don't pay him.. I hear that works!

we both had the same wall ...maxed out.....they send rockets 2 at a time on level 13 and you gotta cath em quick but that give the others time to get to the wall and cause damage too

[Amnorix]

Than just don't pay him.. I hear that works!

Evil genius at work...

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

[David.]

craftsman are worthless I could have used that dough on more gunmen.

got up to 10 friggin guys with guns.

[HC_Chief]

Gah!
Level 12 sucks. Missle-launcher RainMen :grr:

[Mr. Laz]

day 14 ... was trying to save money for missile silo :D



almost made it

[Phobia]

Than just don't pay him.. I hear that works!

Yeah - I did work. I think this one must have discovered a computer game or something....

[unlurking]

Man, guess I suck at this, can't get past day 4!

What is everyone buying first, clips, gunmen?

[ROYC75]

Fug...... I can't get past level 5, damn phone rings on me.........

I'll have to do this later.

[DenverChief]

hahahaha I'm up to day 20! tanks are coming at me now!...the trick is bullets and gunmen...get as many as you can protect your wall and upgrade....the fortress gives you 625 damage points

[Amnorix]

Man, guess I suck at this, can't get past day 4!

What is everyone buying first, clips, gunmen?

Rule 1 -- fix as much wall damage as is efficient. Wall repair comes in 20 pt. increments, so if you're at 98 points of wall, dont' spend $800 just to fix 2points of damage.

Rule 2 -- buy gunmen as soon as you can afford it. At least 1 every level where you have $2K or more.

After that, it's balancing. I bought my ammo such that I always had an even number of shots (i.e. 8, 10, 12), because it takes 2 shots to kill someone. So if I had $5500 to spend, I'd probably get 1 gunman, 2 ammo, and carry over the rest.

Upgrade the walls where possible, but you should only do it if you can afford to buy at least a little bit of ammo and maybe one gunman. It depends, though, since walls have different cost numbers for some reason no one understands.

[Amnorix]

hahahaha I'm up to day 20! tanks are coming at me now!...the trick is bullets and gunmen...get as many as you can protect your wall and upgrade....the fortress gives you 625 damage points

How much ammo do you have? How many gunmen. I can't imagine...

How do you use the missile silo? How many missiles do you get?

Do you have the assault gun yet?

[DenverChief]

Day 28 :)

[DenverChief]

155 gunmen now 100 bullets....you buy the silo then you have to pay silo workers...no stull using the original weapon...might spring for a sniper rifle tho

[Phobia]

I had to stop playing the game because I had a problem with the body cleanup feature. I like a little more realism.

[Amnorix]

How does the silo fire, or is it automatic like the gunmen?

Then you will be dissapointed to know you can kill a tank with a bullet...or several that is

[unlurking]

Now I see my problem, single click, lead, single click takes too long. That and a touchpad sucks for this game.

They're uranium depleted bullets.

(obviously... :rolleyes: )






:):p

[Phobia]

I just cleared day 29. There's a cheat. You capture one of the aggressors, bend him over your wall, and give him a good reaming. Then his cronies are less aggressive.

[Saulbadguy]

I got to day 9 and died. I'm going to try again at home, people are getting curious as to why I keep clicking over and over again.

[Amnorix]

So, DC, apparently you've decided craftsmen do have some use. Please enlighten those of us who aren't so sure... What do they do, as far as you can tell?

[Mr. Laz]

I nearly paid a heavy price on Day 8. I stole one of their bikes, and they all went totally f'n ballistic! It was unreal. I barely survived it.

I can't imagin what would happen if you would lock their cats in your basement

[DenverChief]

just makes your shots stronger ... you can take the rocket launchers out with 1 shot instead 4.

nm...sure makes killin the tanks easier
I could go on for DAYS I tell ya!

[Mr. Laz]

nope ... :(

at the end, i just pretty much concentrate on shooting tanks ... your riflemen take out everything else.

[DenverChief]

getin close to dyin time

Day 48 --185 Gunmen, 50 Craftsmen, 54 Silo workers...fought bravely and to the bitter end...but 48 days was all she could take before collapsing under the weight of all those massive green tanks :sulk:

also found that craftsmen aren't worth it ... i only had 2 :shrug:

Most impressive.

Seriously, though, with that many gunmen and silo workers, did you feel like your gun wasnt' even contributing to the battle? It just seems that you might've felt like a guy with a BB gun in the middle of a Star Wars fleet battle. :)

It sucks that you "only" made it to 48 cuz I was wondering if the game would end at 50.

:LOL: Actually with the sniper rifle you could kill tanks in one or two shots (vs 8-9 with the regular gun)...but eventually there got to be so many tanks that you couldn't kill em fast enough before they would take 150 points off your wall in a blink of an eye....if I had more silo workers and less gunmen at that point it might have been better :shrug:

Yeah, probably right, especially if what the silos fire are area effect. Thsoe tanks looked pretty bunched together.

oh yeah it was really noticable at first when large groups of rainmen would come at you and then a missle would land in the middle of em...pretty cool to see 10-15 guys get laid out :)

That's definitely the answer then. After a certain point, probably stop with gunmen and just whole hog on Craftsmen and Silo Workers.

I'll probably see what I can do with this game again tonight...

where's my rep, Bitch :cuss:


:p

[keg in kc]

I got bored at about day 3.

[HC_Chief]

That's the trick: don't exceed 40 rounds on your rifle, no more than 40 gunmen, and load up on silo operators and craftsmen. I was knocking out clusters of tanks and troops well before they could get a single hit on my wall.

[DenverChief]

where's my rep, Bitch :cuss:

F*CKER! :mad: :)

[Amnorix]

You, uhh, didn't have much else to do today, didja?

[Phobia]

I HATE this ****ing game. I'm not much of a gamer, obviously. I've not made it past day 10. I still don't see the use of the crappy craftsmen.

[Mr. Laz]

craftsmen aren't worth much until the higher days.

load up on gunmen as soon as you can and keep buying as many as you can.

improve wall strength when you can

then continue to buy more gunmen, but try and build up your saving to get rocket(35k) and silomen.


if you get enough gunmen you don't need all the many bullets until higher levels either.

[DenverChief]

You, uhh, didn't have much else to do today, didja?
ROFL well neither did you or I...we been here all day :p

[unlurking]

550 rounds seems to bed about perfect for me. No need to reload at all.

[unlurking]

I should catch up to you guys soon!

What's the current high?

[DenverChief]

I should catch up to you guys soon!

laz was at day 52

beat 61, may try to continue later

man, talk about wasting time

[HC_Chief]

beat 61, may try to continue later

man, talk about wasting time

I got up to lvl 46 before I quit... got boring. I had 80 silo workers and 42 craftsmen. Got my rifle up to 220 rounds. All of the tanks were dying before getting a shot off. :D

My expenses per round were > $160k heh

[Donger]

Damn. Got to Day 59.

And I can't feel my right arm now.

[PastorMikH]

Heading into day 48 here. I'm seriously thinking about neg-repping AustinChief because of the way my arm and hand feel right now.


Level 47 was the first to really tax my repairmen.

[PastorMikH]

Well, thanks to the kid coming in with my cell phone and me also accidentally hitting the scroll wheel while trying to reload, my stronghold got over ran in level 49.

[teedubya]

gay dudes are really good at this game.

Curious to know how. Care to detail?

[andoman]

Curious to know how. Care to detail?

There's a pattern to it. Specifically, right click, left click, left click. But if you are impatient like me try right click, left click, right click, left click, left click - over and over again. That should be enough detail.

[andoman]

So, is everyone at level 100 now?

[PastorMikH]

So, is everyone at level 100 now?


Nope. When are you supposed to apply the right click left click pattern?

[andoman]

Nope. When are you supposed to apply the right click left click pattern?

Do I have to tell you guys everything?


Hint: Right click when play starts, select (left click) the Play option

[Saulbadguy]

Damn. I shouldn't have done that. Now i'm -190k In the hole. I'm gonna DIEEEEEEEEEE now.

[Saulbadguy]

This would be easier if I didn't do what andoman did.

[Saulbadguy]

I won't be able to hire anyone for at least a few more turns. At least my health is getting back up there, but its killing my arm. aghh..

[Saulbadguy]

This is all im doing tonight..i'm starting to lose feeling in my wrist/arm. I'll come back to it tommorow..I can't give up now, these troops have been through far too much to quit now!

[Amnorix]

Let the record show that I made it to day 63.

I had 100 gunmen, and probaby didn't buy any for the last 30 levels.

I had 220 bullets by the end, but I was at 100 for a long, long, long time.

I went almost exclusively with Craftsmen and Silo Workers after a certain point, and had 81 craftsmen and 92 Silo Workers at the end, and daily support costs of approximately $220,000.

Actually, anybody that gets past level 18 or thereabouts has accomplished everything that skill has reasoanbly accomplish. By the end, it's more or less clicking as fast as you can into such a big pile of tanks you have barely any idea whether you got all of them in that particular cluster.

And now I need to see a doctor about the tendonitis / repetitive stress disorder in my right hand...

ROFL

[Pants]

Yeah, I stopped at level 27. I had 60 gunmen, 25 craftsmen, 30 silo workers and 125 bullets, fully upgraded. At that point my walls stayed healthy pretty much the whole time and all I had to was click on the tanks when they showed up.

[teedubya]

Day 20.

100 bullets.
50 gunmen
5 silo workers
bought one fortress upgrade
and maxed on fences

[ROYC75]

I had to stop on level 5 because of phone calls, then a hot demand came in for a 4:00pm deadline today. I worked till midnight last night to get half of it done.

Only to find out that today the server is down and they extended the deadline until tomorrow 4:00 pm.

[jAZ]

I'm at day 65... I feel like I could go on until 100 or more. At this point it doesn't seem to be getting any faster or harder...

I've been adding only gunman and clipsize. And occasionally more craftsman if I feel I'm losing ground on "health".

My stats...
Day 65
Gunman 400
Craftsman 112
Silo workers 40
Bullets/Clip 396
Payroll 209K
$140300 to spend after level 65.

[dirk digler]

I am on day 36 right now. I have 200 gunmen 20 craftsmen and 42 silo workers. This game is about the same after day 20.

[dirk digler]

BTW the game is starting to not become profitable. I am spending a $140,000 on payroll. I need to lose some employees.
