Hello, i am just reserving here a post, i am osan and i love making reviews and walkthroughs, and my first here in AG will be a full walkthrough and review, this is just reserved (i will edit this post when game is out)
i am thinking of puting images and strategies, plus suggestions and other thins, but if you want any (please not a video) specific thing just tell me and i will work on that
You really need the premium edition to take full advantage of mana farming. I just finished a game today with 35 level 22 orange in traps boarded on both sides by level 17 orange in amps. It let me build a level 29 gem then I was tired of it and just clicked through to wave 1337 which is the end of endurance. When I started I beat all fields without mana farming and no premium edition.
Thanks vesperbot it worked! beat k9 but cannot beat m10 anyone able to help im level 34 : maxed blood bound/ maxed construction/ maxed forge/ maxed flexibility/30 points in focus/
Was reading Tenshi_Samshel's posts on Kongregate. He's around level 400 summoning 100k creeps on b2 and g8 non-premium. I'm up 200 levels on that, but find it rough going past 10k (with double hp and the other add-ons except more creeps). The omigod lag when you get 1.5k+ creeps on the board stings too, but if you don't, can't mana farm them, then won't have the cash to summon more. I guess I can be more aggressive setting up mana farm, and hope for more early giant levels.
Slightly different layout, got to 22k summoned, but lower xp since didn't match the higher hp multiplier with the ~6.x summon multiplier (70 multiplier total).
Summoning 5x as much still sounds painful (avg almost 2000 per wave).
Ran armored only, 20% more monsters. About 14k of the summons were the last 6 levels, but could probably be more aggressive. No mana shards, but they take a while to farm anyway.
I'll think about seeing how high you can crank summon multiplier there, this is with ~5k skill points (level ~560).
