Looks like no medals this time, though they are listed in the creator's profile. So maybe at a later date they'll be approved?

Hopefully, but now at least he did fixed the problem with his earlier flash.

This game... has serious flaws.

Chalkboard collision sounds when you "nudge" people, guys that refuse to leave your behind, no matter how many times you mash the brakes/accelerator, and agents that hug the left side of the screen cannot be shot.

The-Swain has admitted to not being able to get past wave 8. Considering that the civ medal was broken on upload, I don't have much confidence that he's made sure that the game is actually sane at wave 10 or higher. It gets really hard at wave 7 and higher anyways.

Is it just me, or is it impossible to start the 1st battle in act 4 of Tankmen: Battle 3? I've tried many things, but none of them seem to fix this problem for me.

Same. At least the final boss is available though, through some fluke of chance.

Same here. And that might also be where the 2nd to last secret medal is if it follows the first 2. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to save the game, which mean I might have to grind up again to get to that spot, and I have no interest in doing so.

Just a tip for the grinding session up to level 50. Focus on putting stats into power, agility, precision, and efficiency Choose the Akimbo class, and use unload as much as you can to speed up the battle. Using Damage boost is worthless, as it only adds on extra point to the base damage. SP better spent on unload, imo.

Also, items don't add any thing extra to you character stats. They're just there for looks, folks.

Okay something is definitely wrong with your saves. AFAIK, it will save after every battle, win or flee (or lose?). Actually, somehow my items saved across computers, although my levels and stats didn't carry over =(

My grind strategy was to be the sword class, using similar stat build that Edy used. I compared the speed of all four classes at lvl 40+ (no durability), and the swords were the fastest. Frenzy actually does appreciably more damage for an SP-consuming skill than any of the other skills.

About Tankmen: Battle 3, for some reason non of the medals worked for me, until I re-opened the game again. When I did that, all the medals I earned so far unlocked at once. This means those medals do resend, and that people have another weird medal order on my page to bitch about. =(

Lots of new games at the moment. I really enjoyed DaVinci's Skycycle Chase.

PMs sent!

In other news, I managed to reach the truck of wave 8 in Madness Ambulation. That 100 pt medal is soooo much harder than the rest. I hate how it's difficult to suppress the ATP Agents. It's either you ram them (which can be annoying hard to do), or stay really far away from them. Wave 7 is also no walk in the park, in that the truck covers the paratroopers, making dodging them harder than it really needs to be.

I'm pretty sure Frenzy is bugged. I played the Akimbo class for the majority of the game because the Unload skill does a lot of damage, but switched it up after I got level 40-ish just to try the others before I maxed out. With maxed strength plus Damage Boost, I would do roughly 50-65 damage per use of the Unload skill. Each hit did between 17 and 21, so that seemed to add up. But I noticed that the Combatant's Frenzy (with the addition of Damage Boost) did about double what it claimed to do; each Frenzy was between 25-28 damage (two hits of 12-17), but the enemy would lose 50+ health. The Combatant's regular attacks calculate correctly, but Frenzy seems to take off way more damage than it is supposed to, which makes it easily the strongest class. The Commando and Bolter classes are worthless.

My strategy: keep strength and efficiency as high as you're allowed, and put about 5 points in precision and resistance. At that point, max strength and efficiency. That should be enough to get through the game I think, but beyond that I maxed out resistance, then agility, then precision, then durability. Even the final boss can barely hit me, and when he does it does 0 damage.

On an unrelated note, has anyone noticed the end-game level system is ... well, I won't say "bugged," but inaccurate? When I got level 50, I was told the next level was at 10,000,000 EXP. However, since then I killed the boss a few more times and have gotten two more levels. As such, I'm now level 52 with 6 stat points that I can't spend on anything. I hope that the third secret medal isn't to get 10,000,000 EXP... this game was enough of a grind as it was. I'm pretty sure I know what it is, however, and thus why it's impossible to get at the moment.

You're not alone, the same thing happened to me for Crystal Story. I wonder if this is a new feature for the API system.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the API system, after what Nijsse said. It's odd but both this and that other game did save for me, but only after I closed the window on them. Before, I would open another window for them, to make sure that they saved properly , and would find that either they had an earlier save or none at all. I even copied the SOL file for Dry Eternity several times after multiple saves, and it would always have that one earlier save when I opened the game in another window. I really don't know how to explain it, other than pointing to the API, which apparently does resubmit the medals if you did not get them on your profile for the first time for whatever reason.

It takes a lot of practice and a little luck, but I got to the truck in wave 10 of Madness Ambulation. A big "Awwww damnit! =(" was made. I was also lagging really hard by then, because I was swimming in a sea of mopeds, paratroopers, and zombies >_>

Some notes:
-- Trucks have different attacks, depending on what wave you're on. The truck in wave 9 only has AR men inside, so you're probably going to want to play it safe if you want to conserve on health. Striking fast and hard is key, and if you do it right, you can destroy one before it can attack twice.
-- Trucks run over anything in front of them. Usually it's to your benefit to hover just behind it (but not too close if it's spewing agents), although if there are paratroopers coming in, that might not be such a hot idea.
-- There is a certain phase in wave 9 where you are swarmed by 10+ ATP Agents, and you're not given a powerup to help you out. Good lawdy, that's painful x_X
-- All surface agents always require at least a second within range to start attacking you. For this reason, being constantly on the move is critical. Hitting an ATP Agent will ensure that you won't eat lead from him for a little bit, although if you're ramming a mob of them, it might not always work.
-- Rocks and barricades hurt. Duh. It doesn't help that they can still hit you while the game is tabulating your results after each wave. Whether it actually deducts from your health, I don't know, but paratroopers and zombies left over from the previous wave may still have a chance to latch on when the new wave starts.
-- It's possible to anticipate where the zombies are by where lightning strikes the road. Zombies are probably the least of your worries if you're trying to deal with stuff that actually hurts you though, especially given the chance that they may fail to incapacitate your shooter, and that your car can still be used to fend off attacks. I have no idea if incaps are deterministic or random.
-- Hitting virtually anything slows you down. Expect massive slow downs when you're dealing with constant waves of mopeds.

0 point medals. I think they require quite some effort to get.

No, not really. It's pretty easy. It just seems complicated at first. The idea is to level up your men with the appropriate skill/stats, which cost meat. I prefer to get the 3,000 meat skills, since they are better value for it. Levels also increase stats, but you use rank points for that.

Also, it's probably a waste of time and money hiring to too many men, or searching for them from the various places on the recruitment menu. Wait tell the the purple (?) shows up and go to the place it recommends to search for them. It always leads to a special character, who is stronger than others in his class.

A good strategy to start out with is to have one fighter and two archers. Build them up, until the special charters become available, wher you can then start replacing them with.

Lastly, adjust the speed, build up your stats, and go on as many quest as you can before the monthly tournament. If your get everything right, you can probably beat the game in one season. If not, you can try again in the next one.

Anybody have any hints to get the earn $100 medal in Fear is Vigilance? The closest I've gotten is $88.00, but the controls and gameplay in those mini-sections is pretty terrible.... not being able to hit certain guys sometimes, hitting other guys at times when you mean to hit somebody else, some characters seemingly taking more damage to beat than others... it's a total pain!

I know I can probably do it eventually, but damned if I wanna screw around with that one too much. It's frustrating. Figured maybe somebody here would have a good strategy.

When you played this, the scoreboard was a little screwed up - this is the first time I've used the Mochi API so I had some problems with it. It should be fixed now so you can see the scoreboard and submit times.
