Most hated team?
Hi everyone,

I picked this game up over the weekend after it popped up in my TouchArcade app and must say, I'm hooked so far. I've never related to the strategy genre at all and have always avoided any game with a hex grid since my NES days. Always been an Action/Adventure/RPG man myself. So I must congratulate the developers for winning me over with such a well-executed game, where similar apps (you know which!) have previously failed!

So, I was just wondering if any of you have a team you hate playing against the most? For me, it's the Feedback. I just find I have the hardest time playing against them! I think the units confuse me and their appearance is just a little more shall we say, intimidating, than their Scallywag and Adorable counterparts. Even their medic looks mean!
  • - The Feedback runner doesn't match the contours of the other two runners, who have a more 'question mark' sort of silhouette. And also because it looks like Shredder from TMNT I always think it's going to do more damage than it's capable of.

    - The soldier matches up well visually with it's counterparts, all holding some sort of pronged weapon and looking all nonchalant. In fact they blend in so well I often forget they're around which is dangerous coz they move pretty far and deal decent damage!

    - The sniper is another unit that visually makes me do a double-take. Sure it's only got the one eye but it's so small in comparison with the other two that it's not enough to detract from the other distraction which is, it has legs! While the other two sort of have legs, the Adorable sniper is sort of plonked there with his legs up looking like a fat kid that fell and can't pick himself up, and the Scally sniper's tentacles make it look like it's sort of anchored to where it's at and would have trouble moving well on land. Either one looks like they only move 1 tile at a time, but the legs on the Feedback sniper makes it look like it could move 3 tiles and with me always forgetting about the real Feedback soldier unit, I often find myself thinking the sniper is the soldier!

    - Then there's the heavy, whose head looks like Megatron from Transformers G1, rightfully looking big and nasty; and the medic, who looks more dangerous than utilitarian. Those arms look like claws more than monkey wrenches I presume they're supposed to be. A Swiss Army knife also has a cross on it but looks less threatening! Every time I move my runner next to one I'm worried it's going to attack me.

    - And the Scrambler, god forbid I ever meet it one day in battle. It looks like it belongs in a jar! Ugh.

So yeah, I know those were mostly aesthetic gripes but in actuality they do end up affecting my concentration and therefore screw up my gameplan. Maybe i just don't come up against them enough and I'll get used to it at some point. But for now, I hate them, hehe. What about you guys?
