Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

And don't worry if we suck at first guys. There is a brand new game every 10 days, so we can do some trial and error for awhile.

One thing I have learned - get recruits. The only way to move up the ranks is based on your recruits, so get them! It appears the quickest way is via battlefields, but you are also majorly exposed while doing these. I had about 30k in recruits and put them all into the battlefield b/c you earn more the more recruits that are there... works great until someone comes along and just picks you apart. I left with 0 recruits...

So, be careful on the battlefields. You want recruits there as they will get you more $$$ but you are pretty much defenseless against any attackers.

If you sign up under BF, you need to send me a message if you want part of DTU as I will not see your signup under my link.

What I have done so far...get recruits, train them, and rest them. Get a lot of them since it will help you gain cash and levels. Go raise funds to get cash and levels. Then start nuking countries. Make sure to keep the training up and soldiers rested. Also, don't forget to bank some cash in case you are attacked. I have yet to fight anyone yet though.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Crew update - we have 4 on the crew so far and at least 5 invites out to join.

THE CREW CAN ONLY HOLD 10 MEMBERS.

First come, first serve.

------------------------------------------------

Note - you can sign up for the game whether you join the crew or not. So even if our inaugural TL crew gets filled up, you can still join and play. If there's enough interest, someone else can start a new crew.

Click here to sign up and get going (drop me a PM here or on the game site if you join) or use BF's link.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

I'm going to have to figure out this ATTACK thing b/c I've won most of the battles I initiated, but two players retaliated (that's fine) but just beat me down over and over and over again. I mean, look at this:





Apparently if you attack someone, it basically gives them an open door policy on your troops. My win % is really attractive, but that doesn't mean anything as two of these attacks cost me a ton of money and recruits.

Moral of the story - don't attack others in the beginning. Wait for someone to attack you and then you can go back and attack them whenever you want.
