It's completely different for CM. I mean, there is a lack in content, but that's all. The whole system is here, and it's good. No bullshit system like this faction war, no bullshit system² like this "pay to evolve da girlz".
CM just need more content, some balancing (skills especially) and it's good to go. GoT needs a complete overhaul, and since they weren't able to do a good job while stealing the whole battle system, I doubt they can do it.

The faction system is actually the best part, if you think of it as daily/weekly reward instead simply... it's how you can actually get everything without paying to win.. and literally everything.. in due time... a few weeks and you won't really have money issues for main team, level 5'ing them.

I would dare say that girls on tanks is one of the friendliest games for free to players - you literally get EVERYTHING for free... and if you bother playing faction wars daily for girl exp and getting the weekly epic box - you get top tier stuff in no time.

i would say the balance there is rather okay and it's fun to complete the game if you enjoy the grid turn based tactics..
There is element of progression, there is positioning, there is everything... the only real flaw is the amount of content IMO... and you can't really design anything interesting event wise there... so yeah. It's certainly not a great game, but a very decent one, can be considered pretty much a free single player game tho.
The only potentially good change I can see on it is adding live pvp there.. but I doubt it will be done.

Getting everything for free is much easier than on crystal maidens, that's something I can guarantee(have main team and substitute team on girls on tanks leveled to max outside of the ones who are better off low level and most of the stuff 3 star'd - no payment involved, not even free sign up stuff)

But I can see how there can be much hate for the game - grid turn based strategy is one of the most unpopular genre of all... mostly favored by the older audience.

Man, you are getting everything for free because the devs are incredibly stupid and missed the "everyone on the same side" loophole. You remove this absurdity, everything else crumble. Faction war may be the key of getting everything free, but it's not an intended key, and it can't stay on the long term, because it's 100% absurd.

You can't judge how quick you can unlock content based on that. It's like saying "oh, I can open the dev console and get infinite gem, this game is pretty F2P friendly". Not at all. And just based on how slow everything is unlocked if you are not doing the faction war...

yeah thats why crystal maidens > all others nutaku games :-)

Honestly, that sounds like the game won't make enough money to survive if people can get absolutely everything while paying for nothing within a few weeks.

It also makes it no wonder why the game ran out of content for everyone so quickly. The whole fiasco makes me think Nutaku would have been better off releasing it as an offline buy-to-play downloadable game instead. Guess the designers didn't catch the memo that online-only games need to be designed with longer lifespans in mind or something.

These building times are so awful. At this rate they're going to take a week and more to build. Feels like they're just trying force people into buy the multi building item. Typical of Nutaku since building mulltiple buildings probably wouldn't even be paywalled in a DMM game, Mononofu for example. I honestly don't see this game making much money with its current features and wouldn't be surprised to some more new cash features.

Boss stage timer are just as bad. No stages should have more than a day at max for a cooldown period.

Oh boy, these building timers are getting pretty bad. 2 days per building and I won't be surprised if next upgrade is 4 days.

Any idea when is the game goin to be released on Nutaku?

Building timers are huge, but the comparaison with Monofufu is unfair. Mononofu has 60 building levels (10 for CM), and the blocking factor is the money, not the time, while on CM, you can easily farm the money (Just kill hard bosses). The last levels on mononofu have also a huge building time as well (over two weeks).

Honestly, you can expect to have everything maxed in 6 months, which is pretty low consdering it includes useless buildings (like the inventory) and last levels (which are not required to do anything). Basically, camps are just bonus, and getting coin storage/temple/barrack maxed is blocked by account level, not by building time.

Made a spreadsheet about stuff:

Contain information about characters (and an easy to use calculator if you want to mess with stuff) and also a database about equipment drop: location, stamina spending, droprate, and enough filters to compare lot of stuff.

I'm pretty sure it's not perfect and may need more works, but should be good enough to use for now.
If you have question, or if you find an error, just PM here or on Discord.

Feedbacks appreciated

Hmm, seem to be getting disconnected a lot mid levels a lot today.

Disable your VPN once you are inside the game.

Gave it a shot and still disconnected anyway. Might have to wait until official launch I guess.

Not sure if it's a bug or intentional but you can "Find" equip you want and run the stage even if you haven't unlocked it yet. Just ran Stage 55 hard despite still being on the 30's.

Also pulled Micah from my free pulls, was rather surprised. Gonna pump her with attack speed and see how fast she can shoot lol.

And that Lv7 to 8 storage building... 3 days. I'm thinking you're better off saving for the item that lets you build multiple since it's permanent that spending it on 500 pulls, at least til you've bought it. With the time it takes to upgrade buildings and the only way to hasten is with gems/cash, you'll eventually reach the point where you can't spend money on anything and just be wasting it. At least with Mononofu, as mention above, you could do so from the start and the game also gives you many items to reduce construction time.
