Kongregate Brag Board

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

The last ten levels are torturous because it's just like "UNGH a huge mess again. Time to make sense of it." By Level 38 I was literally just sludging it through painfully. Wanted the game to be over so badly, lmao. Luckily it is a fairly logical game.

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

i really don't like the game. so i used a walkthrough for the last 10 levels. didn't want to waste my time to figure them out.

still need to do the random 4 under 3 minutes though. got one in a little under 5.

Size 4 in 1:33 first try


A Size 6 would make a very formidable Impossible Badge. However, it'd probably not be fun at all, and would be extremely painful to solve for. I'm glad Greg didn't make an Imp badge for a Size 6. Not being able to really plan ahead sucks horribly. It's like "oh, crap I need a piece with an upper left red. Where can I rip it from?" so in a sense, the logic's very similar to that of the original Hexiom. However, I can't simply brute-stuff like I could before (putting higher connection tiles in dense areas) because not all high-connection tiles place well with other high-connection tiles, etc. So it's more trial and error this time around, which I intensely dislike.

I was bored. Try doing that level. All blues, but VERY confuzzling.

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

I know we are all talking about Hexiom Connect right now, but I got a question on Epic War. How fricken long does it take to take down the end monster. That thing has 250k life points. It has to take an hour or more to take it out. Is there any tips for beating it?

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

How would one go about transferring a GemCraft save file from one computer to another?

[Tasselfoot]

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

the same way you'd transfer any other save file? go into your application data.

Docs & Settings / User / Application Data / Macromedia / Flash Player / #Shared Objects / RandomNumbersLetters /

then inside there, you'll find a ton of folders for different websites that have cached flash data... find chat.kongregate.com, then inside should be a bunch of save files for Kong games as well as more folders with more games in them. GemCraft is in the root folder of chat.kongregate.com, under giabGemCraftPreferences and giabGemCraftSaveData. giab = game in a bottle, the game's creator.

hope that helps for this as well as any other save game file. just take the file, save it, email it, then put it in the same spot on a new computer.

although some games have weird security stuff in the save file. like arcaneCoder added a nice trick to his PillageTheVillage save data... it has your Kongregate username automatically put into the save filename, so if you transfer it to another account, you have to change the save file name to match, otherwise it won't recognize it.

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

The boss on Epic War takes approx 15 minutes if you use Tass's hobit and angel spam guide.

[Xandertrax]

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

Again, use more than hobbits. Send nos. 1-5, and angels when you can. And make sure you always have arrows on it.

On another note, any clue where to put those save files in Vista? I got the save files off my XP machine, but no clue where to put them on my vista comp.

EDIT: nvm, found it. Time to get last few gemcraft badges.

And what guide shall that be and where do i find it?

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

i'll assume you understand basic strategy for Epic War if you can get to the final boss. and i'll assume you have everything max'd.

-Destroy Castle
-Turn back on auto-fire (I assume you turned it off to destroy castle... firing arrows into your own guys for no reason is just silly)
-Spam hobbits (has to be done manually... lots and lots and lots of pressing 1)
-Spam the other 3 arrow types. I like doing FDS really fast.
-Send an archangel as soon as available
-If you see your mana is getting really close to 9999, send a blue dragon (about once every 4-5 archangels, I'd say)
-Win

The damage from the normal arrows + the 3 types of elemental arrows... plus the damage the archangels can do before they get pwnd by The End will allow you to win with a small margin of error. I had about 2 inches of space before he started attacking my tower when I destroyed him. 1st try. Easily repeatable strategy. But be prepared to tire your arm out spamming 1111111fds111111111fds11111111fds711111111fds etc over and over and over again. It takes a long time to do 250,000 damage.

Right there.
