You can just use titans and grab a coffee while they inch across the map (as the in-game walkthrough suggests), or you can abuse the shield spell.

For details, follow the posts by Edykel and myself over the past 2 pages.

It's from the same guy who did "Enough Plumbers". Maybe it will get points later on...

This streamerz game is amazing. Bets medal game i've played in a while. Kinda pissed that you can blow it on the last level of streamerz mode though lol. If anybody plays that, and you get to the last section where its very easy, whenever you go up to the next part of the level, hug the right wall. Or else you go up into space and blow up. I think theres an alt ending if you hug the right wall and don't die lol

Move your mouse to the bottom part of the answers window and click the one that pops up.

Also, the first button game got new medals; they show up as a different game in your medal list too...

I just wanna clear up these here medal loss problems. Here's a post made by Psychogoldfish about 200 pages back when it first happened:

I've been installing updates which includes a more efficient script to reset everyone's medal scores based on valid medals, along with the groundwork for some new API features you'll start seeing in use in the near future.

Right now we have 2 separate database tables regarding your medals. One stores what medals you currently have unlocked and is not biased to the overall functionality of a medal (such as the ones in fear unlimited), the other holds your actual medal scores.

When this new script runs it adds up your medal points for every medal that is currently marked as an approved and functional medal, and skips points for the broken ones.

If the authors who made the broken medals ever fix them, those medals will be worth points again and anyone who has them unlocked will have those points automatically added.

I do not have a list of what's all been de-approved in the overall list of medals, but I know there are a few games that only have one or 2 broken ones that are not worth any real points. The ones worth no points shouldn't show up on the game page, but will show up on your profiles.

There's still a lot of touch ups to do on the system overall, but we have been listening to the complaints about people cheating to get unatainable medals and we agree those unatainable medals should not reward people anything.

As I eluded to at the start of this post, we have a LOT of new stuff in the pipeline so addressing every minor issue with the medals may take some time, but know that the way things are set... if you unlock a medal and do not get points for it... you still have the medal linked to your acount and on the next score sync, your points should reflect that.

In other words, if a medal does not show up on the game page you will get the points at first, but will then lose them later. However, if they later show up on the game page you will get the points again.

Everyone lost points. Something is bugged.

I feel stupid saying this, but NG Logs has the correct medal score.

If you haven't already bought the Altar upgrade for your castle, do so, and upgrade it. It'll increase your mana bar - I think it also speeds it up a bit (but don't quote me on that).

Yeah, I think that I noticed an increase in the mana regen rate, especially at the start of the battle before you use any ability...
By the way, I'm really glad that you don't have to complete the challenges on Hard and Epic to get the medals..that would be just..ugh.
Also, to get the "grinding" medal you have to buy all upgrades right?I sure hope it works, because I remember reading a few reviews (and posts here) saying that it was broken..

Yes, you have to upgrade every single item to the max. I recommend saving and closing then reopening the game just before you buy the final upgrade to be sure the medal sends.

Well, I save after any battle anyway, I don't want to lose even the slightest bit of progress in this game since battles take such a long time..
I have to say, the army you guys recommended (all titans+Orang+Were-Tigers) is working perfectly for every map and every difficulty level..it made even the last battle on Epic look like a walk in the park...

It doesn't matter if you save after every battle, but if you play for 3 hours and then get it, it might not send. He's just saying to refresh the page when you have one thing left to upgrade

In that case, what do I do if I already saved by accident and haven't received the medal..? :(

Why does it have the pic from the hardest medal game of all time?

Also, can anybody confirm that Button Game 3 medals (for whatever reason) don't work?

And that button game 1 medals split up into two separate medal games? (or post a walkthrough for it, can't beat it)

Oh wow, that's "Awesome".. :D There goes my mood in the crapper.. I have absolutely no intention of playing it all over again. It takes just too loong.. >_<

I am so glad that I came here before my 3rd attempt at beating the giant fucking yeti bitch in Epic War 4... Not required for the medal!?! Kickass.

Yeah my tactic was similar to Edy's, but I fell in love with the centaur archers in EW3, so I massed them as well and found them quite effective.

Shield is so ridiculously abusable at lvl 5 with the full mana upgrade... Beat Epic mode on everything but the giant yeti thanks to invulnerability spam.

You need to get the harpoon first, then go to the pool and look at it. When you see the shark swim by use the harpoon on it.
