Hi guys, nice game but I am getting a little frustrated with the boosts.  Currently I have 3 boost equipped 2 which are used for Dino speed.  Just got done playing against a low ranking player with no boosts and their dino is moving just as fast as mine.  I have noticed this with the air strike range as well.  I have the boost but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. 

Thanks,
'X

I am still playing and it seems like this most of the time.  I am really not seeing how the boosts are doing anything for my dino.

Yeah, the weapon damage ones are pretty worthless right now. I recommend just using all movement speed, that actually makes a noticeable difference.

I dunno. I've been destroyed in two-three hits by someone with +6 in SAM, or +4 in castle.
It makes games pretty challenging Tongue

The information here both by jon and xingu is incorrect, and can be easily tested. The weapon boosts work, but maybe these aren“t as powerfull as they have hoped for. Still matchbraking in balanced games though.

Incorrect?  I don't think so.  I watch how this game plays out and people with no boosts are having the same effect and sometimes do better than me with the boosts.  My expectations were null because I had no baseline to compare what a boost would do.  My best measurement of this was with air strike range.  I would sit at a point on the map and would notice that the opponent would use the same point on the opposite side and have the same range as me.  Pretty clear to me.  I also have another observation after just playing another player on Kongregate.  We were in the middle of battle both exchanging kills and both had one village destroyed.  I was barely hitting the $200 mark and this guy goes to his middle village and purchases the flamethrower for $950.  Now either there is some serious unbalance or this guy was cheating using cheat engine or some lame program like it.  If someone can explain that one I would love to hear it.

Some of the maps aren't perfectly symmetrical, so try not to judge distances based on that.  Also, there's no way to cheat with money, as we set up the server to take authority over purchases.  Kong's network admins would be contacting us within minutes of any perceived security breach on the server.  That would be very unlikely anyway, since they've kept it quite secure.
