The one thing I have not got a feel for yet is how important levels are (except for unlocking better hardware). I have been attacked by people of higher level with minimal losses. Incidentally the more efficient way of getting levels seem to be attacking territories that have people in (10 levels for 7 turns). Actually battlefields same a good way to raise troops money or levels. The only thing I have not compared with so far is out and attacking.
BF - the levels are super important for nuking. Not sure how much more there is to the levels besides that. I am almost at 6000 level and tomorrow morning when I have a ton of turns, I will be nuking everything I possibly can which will increase the recruits and/or $. Just a big domino effect with the level thing. If you only have 1000 or 2000 level, your nuking opportunities are very small. As far as I can tell, nuking is the quickest and SAFEST way to build your stuff up.

BF - you also need level in order to get the cool, fun weapons:




So it appears the levels are for nuking and getting stronger weapons. Not sure if the actual level # matters in a fight per say, but it does matter if you are up against some strong weapons as a result of a higher level...

Finally got some sub's tonight!

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Yes indeed levels are needed to become seargent etc. The difference in weapons you get there is not that great until you have exhausted the low level (and cheep) weapons. I wonder if I can make a spreadsheet without keying all the data?

As for levels the only thing that I can see it give access too are new combo weapons and of course nukeing more countries. Having said that my feeling is that the most rapid way to advance both levels and recruits (and cash for that matter) are 'high risk' battlegrounds. I'm not sure what the high risk low risk setting does to be honest. But I have a hunch*.

Apart from the risk setting there is the greater actual risk of being in a battlefield where you an be attacked by anyone without repurcussion. Having said that I have been attacked (in battlefields) by people 4 or 5 times my level and beaten them with minimal casualties. This makes me figure level is not directly inputed into combat resolution of course indirectly you have access to 'better' gear.

Kinda busy but I should do some tips for battlefields...most are common sense dont hang round if you arent doing anything. retrain and rest recruits when you get more. Always look twice in a battlefield (especially if you see 5 troops there) before attacking. In fact scouta round a bit to see if there are any whales operating. And my personal favourite unmerciful wipe out minnows hopefully without them even knowing who hit them

Cheers,

* My hunch is that you can't be attacked by absolutely anyone in battlefields but the high risk low risk setting determines how much higher a player can wack you. Seems plausible. I dunno I am on high risk all the way so far. Low risk is for pansies and ellioticians

Nuking is awesome. Today i logged on and nuked every single possible target available to me and made a ton on money recruits and level. Im not level 4600 so not doing too badly. After nuking you can afford to buy a helluva lot of stuff and with the recruitment increase you can easily hold a territory while you exploit it for funds and more recruits.

Re: Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Dunno, seems to me you get a fair bit more from battlefields. Which kind of makes sense as nuking is risk free battlefields are well....battlefields.

You seem to get 10 levels for 7 turns hitting a player there.
1000 odd recruits for 15 turns

Cash I cant remember I think its something like 20,000,000,000 per 25 turns.

Thats with about 100k terrorists comitted to the campaign.

Pleas post what you get from various manouvers so we can gauge how different strats work.

OH btw this spreadsheet would seem to suggest you switch to planes after maxing up to launchers.

Cheers.

EDIT: cant get google to allow others to enter info into the sheet. There's another fairly major online office suite anyone know what its called? Ive forgotten

BF - just upload the sheet to rapidshare or a similar site. You can leave it in Excel and we can easily get it.

We need to attack liamrules ASAP. Him and some of his crew is hitting us regularly. No more sitting back, let's see what happens here.

We should start with liamrules and hit him until we max it out (75 attacks per day). ONLY attack if you are close or higher in stuff to beat him.

We should plan to do this TODAY. Between everyone in the crew, we should be able to reach the 75 max today.

EDIT - I WILL BE ATTACKING BEFORE THE 9:30AM OPEN. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE CREW COULD ALSO ATTACK SOMETIME TODAY AS WELL.

USERNAME TO ATTACK: liamrules
CREW: xSoldiersOfHeavenx

DISREGARD OTHER ATTACK NOTICE ON THE CG FORUM. THIS REQUIRES OUR ATTENTION. I WILL CONTACT ALLIES AS WELL.

Will be attacking liam 25 times in a row in 5 minutes.

That leaves 50 more times he can be attacked by the rest of us.

Make sure to get those attacks in TODAY so we can REPEAT TOMORROW.

ALSO - ONLY ATTACK LIAM FOR NOW. WE DO NOT WANT TO OPEN THE FLOOD DOOR TO OTHERS IN HIS CREW.
