Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Since I cannot create a new account, I'm gonna have to sit and let the turns build up. Can't help ya yet....I've got my own "flea" pestering my little pile of recruits.

Yeah - those turns are precious. Have to use them wisely.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Some observations up to this point of our first round of CG:

1) Don't pick fights (aka ATTACK).

2) If someone does attack you, retaliate until you just pummel them to the ground. See my previous screenshot for an example of what to do to someone else. I learned first hand that it sets you back a ton.

3) In the battlefield area, you have to be quick - get your recruits and/or money - and get out. You are VERY exposed here and another troop can pick you off easily. These ambushes in the battlefield do not appear to show on your attack screen (probably b/c they are not an official attack). I had one instance where I had over 30k in troops and LOST THEM ALL in a battlefield ambush. I have yet to get near that number again...

4) We'll have to figure out how to use our crew 'power'. That's a whole different part of the game. Also, I put $2B in our bank so we had money. Probably should use that sometime...

5) The max turns you can have waiting is 1500. If you have 1500 turns, USE THEM so you can get more!

Before the next round begins we should get a plan together. A basic list of how to maximize our resources.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Guys,
I need your help building a nuke map (see screenshot). What I want to track is what you get for nuking - recruits and/or $.

I ramped up my level from the beginning and had NO IDEA some nukes give you recruits (which I desperately need). I thought you just got smaller amounts of cash, so I've been nuking China like crazy!

Send me a PM or post here what you get when you nuke something - how many recruits and/or cash. Doesn't have to be exact, just a good estimate.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Keep the names of your attackers. They will feel the pain soon enough, he, he. Buying recruits for turns is a decent tactic...no battlefield exposure. Watch those turns though, they go quickly!

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Well, I figured out how to lose this game...



Attack people when you are bored and then watch them come back later and just DESTROY you. I mean, destroy. I was over $1mill net worth last night and now I am $294k.

Talk about a drawdown.

Here's a sample of what my attack log looks like (this is just one page):
