Scary XP!! Time to get over the avoiding leveling up path some of you are on. Just wait for the new rank based units to come out and then you can complain that you cannot buy them because you avoided events due to XP.

When Funzio ran this game they did a great job using the normal NPCs within the game. This allowed players to use some type of strategy like upgrading a unit building to unlock units, pre set the leader of a map or the whole map etc. Back then it was fun to try and be ready for an LTQ and disappointing at the same time when you realized you missed out on a 20% health Regen unit because you upgraded the wrong unit building.

It's been about a year since Gree used original NPCs in the Axis of Evil event. Just like defensive buildings, skill points set to Attack or defense, the original NPCs and maps have been made irrelevant in the game. All of these areas used to play key roles in the game and made the game more interesting.
