Hello,
I really love this game.
But I was wondering what you get when you get promoted (level up)
I know you can train new hero's when you are a specific level but is that just it or is there more?
Also are the new hero's better then the first 2?
Please let me know

What u get for rank:
1) Mana regen bonus for hero, very useful..
2) heroes..
3) .. reserved for anything i might have forgotten..
Hope more will come..
Also when you beat the game on a very difficult mode you get a bonus item for next games.(Trojans roar(stun all creeps), Wings of behemot(lets u fly rly fast)).

Shadow sniper is quite OP damage wise. has Metamorphois + adrenaline that can clear the fron of your base very effectively + 20s cooldown nuker ability "Shadow cannon"
Alchemist is of little use in a fight (altho ha can save 1 wall from destruction and root creeps) but the transmute ability means u can do really nice power lumbering (think a circle of factories all speeding up a handfull of mill constructions)
Tinker: can repair walls (quite powerful repair, but drains mana a LOT, may use the tree of vigor to counter this later) ofc can transform to other form.. and can enchant worker so next building is instant(useful but very long cooldown)

EDIT: the more generous donators can also get a custom hero and 1 special ability that all of his heroes get (player name based). Please corect me if im off here..

Currently, Ranks give you:

+0.1 mana/second regen on hero per rank
More hero choices

In 6.00e (no planned release date yet), Ranks will give access to:

more upgrade branches from the available structures (such as Water tower from Ice tower, Grave towers from Arkane towers, etc)

Alchemist has an ability that heals a wall (40%?) and makes it invulnerable for a few seconds. has a long cooldown tho.
Marine hero had that same ability once i believe.

Alchemist hero has 1 main use: free infinite transmutation abilities that you can use the second you have constructed your first mill.
This means you can surround a spot with a ton on repair units/factories and build mills at a rate of 1/3 per second or more even.
I have taken this (as lumberer role) to the height of 5*lvl7 lumber mills and nearly 100 000 total lumber produced (exceeded 100k shortly after behemot kill).

Over the lumbering,
Is it not better to build a repair factory in the ceter of 8 lumbermils?
L L L
L R L
L L L
this will change in a new lumber mill than you can transmute afterwards

they need lvl4 mills to combine to lvl6
and if you build tround 1 factory.. you cant reuse that spot untill its a lvl6
it wont combine if it touches any other lumbers(no speedbuild)
5 5 5
5 R 5
5 5 5
gives lvl 7 mill that is a LOT better than lvl 6, gives 11 lumber/s also takes same room as lvl6 so better density.
the lvl5 mills in that recepie are minified mills so u can build them off site and arrange for the time of combine.
EDIT: it is impossible to combine lvl6 mills to a lvl 7 mill.
