Hi I have a question about the campain mode. I have played easy mode and a small map.

Now I have defeated the enemy and I owned all 22 orions but the game says that I am on 95% progress.

Now I am not getting an item in the item list.

Can anyone help me how I can complete this game..

Thanks, Twitch. Glad you like the game. Honestly, I wish you had a chance to play it on Windows Mobile. This is one of the rare games which was just much better on Windows Mobile. Hopefully, the expansion packs should be coming to the iPhone/iPod Touch soon in the form of updates.

Wow! Amazingly thorough as always, Meneisyss. This is a fantastic resource. I even learned a few things about the game from reading your post and chart. Thank you for sharing with us (and for the mentions of this review as well).

Definately, one thing I have found is that the strategies in this game are endless. There are so many different ways to win or lose a battle, and you are constantly reshuffling your deck. That is another reason you want to pay attention to your economy early on. In addition to building structures, you will need to buy your higher level cards. It is critical here that you have a strong conomy in all of the elements in order to keep your deck at full power.

Yup, it’s very important to build all (or most) structures of all the elements to have the best cards of all (for example, Fireball, Lich, Pegasus mainly for the -8 cast, Back Wind to quickly get rid of a very dfangerous, high-rated card, Salamander to greatly enhance attack of all friendly units, Forest Spirit to heavily reduce damage from a high-rated enemy card, Paladin to quickly get rid of undead creatures, the Ice guy to reduce damage done to owner by 50% when, otherwise, there is no other defence etc.).

I agree with you about the Power cards. In Easy Mode, I focused most of my stats on Strength, but when I started playing in the higher difficulty levels, I quickly realized that it can be much more important to have a greater variety of cards.

I also found that building your economy is critical to winning the game. I started placing three economy structures every time I conquered an Orion, and in every turn after that until I had built a substantial economy.

Another mistake I made was focusing too much on one when element. You should try to build your structures on several different elements. In several games, I focused on one element at a time, only to find that when I went into battle, heavily fortified in that element, I was quickly and soundly defeated. It is important to go into battle with a well rounded deck, so that you can play cards from different elements.
