    1.  Wing drones(customized or not), do not deploy from drone silo during defensive waves.  


    2.  On attack waves, last standing ERMs and HG's ignore Hellstorm missiles until they take a shot at Hellstorms, regardless of how near or far they are from the HS.  No kidding, watched a couple ERM's from an adjacent building that went down, run straight past HS missiles and as soon as they were in range, fired one round each at my HS's and then decided to target missiles.  One stupid bullet from an ERM knocks a quarter of the health off a single HS.  I have level 12 HS.


    3.  Titan had to have been nerfed for this event.  On like the 4th attack wave, I got too close(my mistake) to a tower, a blitz turret, and maybe 2 hercs and no kidding, a level 7 Titan was downed within the time it took me to turn it around and move out of range.  I've read other posts saying the same thing.  


    4.  Lag and partial disconnects....you know, enough of a disconnect where you can't control units and/or actually have the battle end yet you can repeatedly click on the "end attack" button.

    I personally haven't found this event hard at all I am level 36 and went into it without a titan, spectre, banshees or vanquishers. The plan I have followed has been to get 3 platoons of Elite Valkyries and suicide rush all bunkers, drone silos, rocket silos and other defensive buildings then just clean up with hell storms. 

    The lazer is nice challenge, forces players to approach things in a new way.

    The cost of the banshee and schematic is a bit more than I feel the unit is worth.

    this is the worst event i have ever seen. kixeye should be ashamed of themselves again. how can they expect people to keep playing this game when it just keeps getting worse and worse. the prizes for this event are a joke. titan is almost worthless and there is so much corrosion effects on ALL of kixeyes units. the laser targeting silo, take them out of the game. i should be able to use slower units to attack, shouldnt have to WASTE evanq's every time i see a laser silo. i love how all of kixeyes unit alway operate ABOVE par and our units cant perform like theirs. why cheat kixeye ????? 

    btw lvl 38 and usually do well on events, but im not gonna pay $100's of dollars to play a game

    Worst Event Ever.


    I ended event at wave 50, it was the last wave that i could not set my units on Rubi to defeat. If you do not have units that you can put on Rubi to defeat the waves you are out.  The reason I say this is the Lag is so tremendous that most of the time you cant even see your platoons attacking, they are there you just have no control. There is no point in coining platoons to repair them as they still will not appear (for you to control) in the wave base you are attacking. 

    We understand the Serious amount of Lag in the event is caused by overflows of servers. It is my impression that this event was specifically designed for the new players that have been so graciously  provided with extremely reduced upgrade times for platoons. These new players can deploy endless amounts of highly upgraded units causing servers to load up and Lag out. 


    With the over abundance of new accounts with endless platoons of highly upgraded units it may be a good idea to start doing events in waves. Open event for a range of sectors vs all sectors. Or perhaps invest some of the money that Kixeye is raking in this event to buy some new servers that can handle the overload. 

    With the Platoons I have built, worked hard to create, and the experience I have in the game I should have had no problem reaching level 91 I just have decided that this event sucks so much that I will just take my one event prize and go back to smashing enemy's.

    Please comment on your thoughts about iron march event.. 

    thanks kixeye for not fixing this bug on war commander. I have played the last 3 events and have tried to get the elite mega tanks . Every time I get elite it resets back and say I didnt get it. Seems a waste of time sending you a bug report since you never reply to it or fix it. Thanks Dylan

    this event is very hard 
    too much attacking waves and thats not easy 
    reaper drone with blitz shell , viper x on island base , stinger schem at bunker , hover with schematic , orbital laser (at some wave they have 2) , hercules with giant corrosion , blitz at all fortress start from wave 20 , 2 blitz lv 7 start from 70 and vanquisher defend fortress 

    cmon kixeye what are you thinking? 
    low lv can't play this event bcs its overpowered , and for non coiner its almost IMPOSSIBLE to finish this event 

    i hope kixeye will think about this 
    war commander have 1.000.000 user per months before and now only 500.000 user per months? 
    where's the other 500.000? they left bcs kixeye always making NONSENSE event

    i think this is a really poor event,i normally quite like events but this one is just designed only to make as much money as possible. the lazors mean most land units are taken out of the game because there dead before they even get a shot off you then have a number of drone silos with a missile silo protected by lots of bunkers with hurcs evanqs evalks and hover tanks. im not asking to be able to do bases without damage but come on get real and atleast give the non coiners a chance. the only tactic there is that can get you far in this event is evalk spamming with missiles and air all other units are just making small holes for big heal time!

    The lag is bad, I mean real bad. I don't think I'll make it past wave 30 and as always I'll miss any opportunity to get any kind of unique weapon. So far I have done ok considering the troops I have lost from the lag. Example: attack something and see that I am doing fine then all of a sudden a screen flicker and my unit jumps and is then sitting on top of what it was attacking and now taking major damage from surrounding turrets or last stand troops only to die. I know I could file a support ticket and get the usual explanations of the problem and 50 gold but why bother; it doesn't benefit me any more and due to the number of tickets most likely already submitted, it would be over a week before Kixeye would get to mine. Hope everyone else does good considering the issues they are having.

    This game blows, plain and simple. Everybody wake the hell up and don't feed the fire. All people do when they coin is continue to feed these clowns at kixeye. They don't give a crap about you, you're complaints or the way the game actually works. Tell me I'm wrong !  The facts and the forum posts speak for themselves. I urge everyone to get back to reality and your lives. I played this game since 2010 and it has been an evil thorn in my side till I realized that I spent all of my free time playing only to be frustrated constantly with glitches,bugs, lag and deliberate cheating advantages from Kixeye themselves. People, go out, enjoy the sun, summer is almost over lol. Most of all, let this crap game die while you still have an ounce of dignity in you. GET A LIFE ! I play the game to chat with friends by the way, I do not care about events, units, or even the poor functionality of the game anymore. I certainly don't WASTE money on this garbage and I hope you don't either but, I know it's hard to leave the game, I sympathize with you all. Limit yourselves to 2 hours and you'll feel better, I promise. Oh, and I stay only to piss off this company by posting my thoughts to the forums as you can see lmao...

    here we go again , another event for kixeye coin coffers , and not the players. in a way i feel sorry for there game designers because they have this great games platform  - but everyone has to do the same event , so the players with all the toys find every lvl till 70 or so , very easy while the mdium and lower lvl players scream at how how lvl below 40 are.But the introduction of this lazer thing in the fortress is a step to much , fortress lvl were never easy  - so now to remove any ground attack units from attacking them is crazy , the anti air is totaly over the top , on lvl 40 I have just had 4 lvl 10 peackeepers shot down  - didn't get close .So with out the banshee titans or what ever , thats it event over after a day , its so tough i can not even coin my way though it  - events should be tough yes , but you should be able to work you way slowly through them , the last two , i though were good like that got to lvl 52 & ran out off time, but this event is back to old style brick wall event  - if you aint got the toys  - you can not pass .BAD GAMES DESIGN

    If you are using Elite Vanquisher, don't send them in all at once because it will lag anyway and you cant target anything.. Instead send one to make a hole in the walls. Once there is a opening into the base, send it in to destroy the orbital lasers. Repeat sending in the Elite Vanquisher one by one till the orbital lasers are destroyed.. After that you don't have to worry about the lasers. Use the BFG if you have one to destroy the turrets, Elite Vanquishers, and Elite Hover Tanks by targeting the walls and taking advantage of the splash damage. Then send in the Hover Tanks to clear up the remaining..

    This should be workable till wave 90.. From wave 90 onwards, some guarding units will come out to attack your units..

    I was disapointed in this event to say the least.It had such potential to be something great and fell way short. To be honest in reference to the prizes~~THEY LACKED VALUE! I mean an average player could do the event to wave 41 then stop earning enough xp to unlock both the elite version of the marauder,and perhaps a prize or two they missed in prior events like the stinger/wh schematics....not to mention the fact they earned the hs sch at wave 21.......there was nothing engaging about the event to keep players interested.It only seemed like what was added only discouraged players to advance.....this was a good concept but like i stated it fell well short of expectations.

    this event sucks, ill give examples, using more than 3 drone silo in 1 base it stupid, more than 1 orbital laser is stupid, modded elite hovers, modded hercs, blits turret in wave 20 fortress, having 20+ max platforms with max turrets, its just not fair on us low/mid level players. its not about tactics/strategy any more, its about sacrificing all toons coining repairs  and sending them back in again, where has the fun gone???    event bases/underground/island/fortress waves are just stupidly over packed with overpowerd **** which give us no chance to complete. and another thing that annoys me is the amount of watchtowers you put in these bases aswell, they make all air units obsolete

    Same here it was not a fun event. I stopped at 91 and also coined a lot less than usual. I would coin a lot more if I would be able to start using my prize within a reasonable time. These suicide mechs will take forever to upgrade so I was not in a hurry to coin in the event. It will be months before they are fully upgraded.

    1st- The ideal for ORBITAL is not bad but way too hard for low lvl, specialty for those who doesn't have EVANQS and BLITZ.

    2nd- Kixeye base's defender units are over-power than the players have.

    3rd- Too much attacking ( mean have to deal with over-power units) that caused players losing their plats faster. ( If this' KIXEYE 's intend to I got no cmd.)

    Finally, the Event is not impossible for high lvl players if we have a right tactic. I myself will get the STRIKER soon but for E-STRIKER I'm not sure. I don't coin and never will do. Just consider the game is a joy that's all good luck everyone.

    its only 10 levels more to do so im sure you could manage that!!!

    orbital is a nice idea for what? its crazy that as soon as you land that your toon gets hit.

    you should be able to use more then 2 units on a base, evanqs and evalks are the only 2 land units you can use on these bases until the orbital is dead and even then ehf dont touch anything due to the hovers etc. i mean i got a base down to 1 gun turret and 2 hover tanks and my 10 ehf with down missiles couldnt land!! thats crazy and not fair

    Major bug!!! Mercs are eating infinite storage space when you use them. I am not sure whether mercs are supposed to occupy storage space, but the current issue is, they are occupying storage space and are not returning it after being consumed. (And they eat up more space when you build more.) This is an urgent bug and needs to be fixed fast (otherwise everyone's storage capacity will just go red and no more room for other units).

     I liked the last 2 events where you had to attack in a cave and the Fortresses was attacking 2 bonus bases and then the main fortress. Was a whole lot better Event setup.

    Could it be that you built a lot of mercs ? They could have pushed your storage use over the capacity limit without you noticing. I believe that exceeding storage capacity (for a certain continuous duration) could make the anti-cheat bot automatically flag you as a cheater.

When they came back the board of directors had a big problem. In front of them were the two reports. The first report said: "We'll get rich selling our shoes, they're all  walking barefoot." But the second report said:"We won't sell any shoes there, they're all walking barefoot...."
