Hmm, so far I'd been thinking Cannons were useless. I thought level 3 Tesla towers were good, once you start getting chains etc, but maybe a waist of resources. Mostly using gatlings and those relativistic slowdown towers though for the most part

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Lv 3 Teslas are theoretically good, but since you can't control them, more often than not they will fire and kill a measly racer or swarmer, instead of the fucking Juggernaut behind them. I don't really bother with them. Temporal towers are a godsend. Basically what you want to do is lay out a one-way path towards the cores or away from them towards the exit. Gatlings should be enough to keep the first waves at bay, they're cheap and fairly powerful. Afterwards, you start adding cannons and upgrading gatlings, then temporals (which are great since all their upgrades cost the same) and Meteors if you're being harassed too much by swarmers. Command towers are very useful as well if the path isn't narrow enough for the gatlings to detect stealths and decoyed aliens. Always upgrade gatlings and temporals to red, and cannons at least to yellow, until you can afford the 900 that each red upgrade cost for cannons.
Dvader said:So Sim City is still good? I loved 2000, that was the most popular one by far. 3000 was fine. Havent heard much from it since.
SC4 is a bit clunky. I have tried it a couple times, but I don't find it as good as SC3K. It's familiar territory, however. If you liked the previous ones, you'll like SC4.
Time to dust off a bit this thread.
I've been playing King's Bounty: The Legend for the past few days. I'd say I'm a good 8 or 10 hours into it.
KB: The Legend is a 2008 PC game developed by 1C, and it's a sequel of sorts to the old-ass King's Bounty PC title. It's a strat RPG that has the player roam around diverse regions doing main or sidequests while recruiting an army and kicking foe ass. The game is really charming, great looking and filled with stuff to do and see, most of it worthwhile seeing.
It's not forgiving or straightforward, you have to rely a lot on visiting other areas of the game to build up resources and amass your army before going back to previously visited areas and handle battles that would have been impossible otherwise. One error or one fight picked up recklessly and you might will end up wiped out.
However even with that, the game is certainly a blast to play and like I said, filled to the brim with great stuff. I just fathered a child with a woman that used to be a zombie but that I bought off from a thief that turned to be a dwarf slave trader inadvertently because he got the raw end of a deal with a crooked nobleman.
You can't make this shit up. 
There were a couple levels I found exceedingly hard at first, but upon rethinking a bit my approach, they ended up being quite manageable. Getting golds is another thing. You really have to be flawless in order to do so. You can easily get by on upgraded Gatlings and Cannons, with a couple Missile towers for anti-air support, adding or selling things besides those ones as you see fit. Just don't build Tesla towers, they're useless.
