Leveling up is the only way to get better... which is done most easily by recruiting new people, not winning fights.
I'm NOT a fan of recruiting games. It has been one of the biggest turn offs of that mafia wars game. If your game is addicting, people will come. If you force us to tell everyone we are a nerd, expect people's addiction to wane.
In that case lets recruit each other. Challenge each other and create a quick new account. Heres mine: http://timetokillyou.mybrute.com Join me and I'll join you.
I'm starting to feel the same way. Where's the frickin' pet store? I need to buy a pit bull or crazed monkey. I keep getting my arse handed to me by these chumps who have an animal.
I got a dog once I got to level 3. So yeah, it's kind of hit-or-miss as to what you get when you level up. I see no point in the net. And does anyone know exactly what the 3 attributes do? All I know is strength lets you punch people for more damage. It's really hard to level up far without pupils... That is pretty annoying.
I hate it when my brutes act in completely stupid ways during a fight. Like he'll voluntarily throw away his huge club that does like 30-40 damage for some pocketknife that's barely better than a punch. Or another one of mine is apparently a "master of swords" or something, and he has a spear (which imo is one of the better weapons) but never uses it!
I have a brute with "cry of the damned" which makes all animals run away. But the dumbass will either forgets to use it or wait 5 rounds of getting double teamed before it pulls out that skill.
