I can't beat Gourmet City

[ASGeek2012]

How am I supposed to beat Gourmet City? I have tried all three troop types I have available to me, and they all do 1 point of damage. There was another thread on this concerning the demo, but it wasn't helpful. Someone said something about training to max and using s*x to get greater stats, but once the mission timer starts, I don't have any time to devote to that, nor enough stamina to get anywhere with her.

I did notice that when I bring up the attack screen, there is an icon there I don't recall seeing before. It looks like someone being bonked over the head. Does that mean there's something wrong with my troops? This is very frustrating.

So I played the game until the timer ran out for the mission on a gamble that I might get a second chance because I maxed out affection for her. All I did was train a few more times and have s*x once with her in the remaining time. When the time ran out, I got a cutscene, an achievement, and three more days to accomplish the mission.

Now the mysterious "bonk" icon is gone, the kaiju power appears higher than I remembered it, and now I'm doing actual damage and was able to take the city.

*throws up hands*

No idea.

Hi there,

Erm, since you solved the Gourmet City already, the "bonk" icon likely informs you that your troop's Kaiju Power is too low versus the enemy City's Kaiju Power.

I recall a moment during my gameplay when my Attack power did not maxed out, the "bonk" icon only appear to troops with lower affinity vs. the enemy city.

In any case, the following battles will be slightly easier. Enjoy~

Make sure your training is max, your troops are max and you're using ninja units.

Yeah, after the fact I figured out that's what that icon meant. it would have been a lot clearer if either that was replaced by text that actually said "Your troops are not strong enough to take this city" or that text was in a tool tip when I hovered or clicked the mouse over it.

i'm curious about this 'bonk' icon. when i look at the attack screen i see either a red arrow pointing down or blue pointing up depending on the soldiers to display weakness/advantage.

When it appears, it's to the right of the soldier image.

When I completed Gourmet City and unlocked Divine Woods, the first time I opened it up, I had that icon there for every soldier type. After doing training/s*x a few times, the icon went away and I was able to take the place in two days. So like a previous poster said, it appears when the troops are not strong enough to be up to the task. You probably never saw it because you were keeping up with the training better than I was.

The power curve for the troops seems to be rather sharp. Just a little below some hidden threshold and they're crap. A little above it, and they're fine.

On the bright side, that's the only complaint I have with the game (well, that and the fact that the dialog really needed a proofreader). Other than that, I'm really enjoying it.
