Fun game, but it's too easy to "solve" the tower of babel crises forever

So, you can just get a heros that give you around 5 or more seconds of stunlock. I was able to easily get 8 seconds of stunlock. Then you need to get about 25/s or more of wood production. I was able to get 32/s before i got bored.

Then, stunlock.

No crisis in the game is a threat ever again. You can 100% guaranteed stunlock win any fight.

If you get more like 50/s wood per second production with phalanx with 8s stun, or 30 wood per second with 10s stun, then you don't even need to touch anything, the game will stunlock the crisis for you every time it produces a phalanx.

So, game solved!

Eventually the events gets a lot of health (I got to tower lvl 16 before I lost, could have done a few more levels if I didn't rush it) and the timer speeds up the longer you take so after a while you get 300%+ faster timer which also affects stun so stun gets less than 2 seconds and just keep getting shorter.

So it doesn't work forever but the way it is possible to stun any event until they have too much health and then you instead instantly lose once the timer start moving, this is not a good game mechanic.

This mechanic also makes most other parts of the game matter less. Once you have 7s stun and the 150% bonus resources effect then you just pick up every event on the map and auto beat any (except far too high level) event.

Xandor it´s not exactly that timer speeds up as you take your time in Babel, but as the crisis "4 more crisis" stack then you get faster timer ... if you got good build you can manage even that stack of +300% speed but you can only hold out with stone walls and hero with "militia blocks attack" which helps with holding out the crisis timer (i had problem with that shi*ty life steal -- that stealing % of damage as pop cause it messed up my housing/vagabonds a lot while i focused on stone walls .. you dont want random "bonus punishment plague" for doing random dmg to crisis) ....
