About halfway through round 1 I finally understood the controls, and after that it wasn't too hard. When I realized I can just spam warriors and get a ton of gold I started to fight 3 - 4 waves at a time. Right now I am waiting for waves 89 - 108 to die from my military so the game quits lagging so much. Besides the easiness, this game is a lot of fun. I would buy it if it was a complete game!"},{"author_name":"kidanger","author_uid":"15611","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 11:21am","epoch":1346066160,"text":"Very nice, but in the end (wave 100+) it starts being slow (too many turrets ?).
