Online War Game to Pass Some Time

Recommended Posts

Some hints/ideas/strategies.

  • Use first 4000 turns on level (third option under Raise Funds).
  • Recruit around 10k from Terrorist Base and then hit battlefield to get 1 billion to nuke.
  • Always keep your Training and Home Leave up for Recruits Strength.
  • Level to 10k ASAP (should be hit within a few days). Level can NOT be lost and having the ability to nuke up is HUGE when attacked.
  • Nuke everyday until you get 500k in recruits. After reaching 500k use battlefield.
  • Don't hit battlefield until those two items have been completed.
  • Only use battlefield for money. Nuke to get recruits (if sniped).
  • Try to only use battlefield when there are less than 350 people online.
  • Towards the end of the round if you need the battlefield and there are many online don't get greedy. Jump in for one or two hits and then exit. The turns you lose for having to reenter will be far less than if you lose 20k in recruits.
  • Remember, top 50 equals target for supps on their way up.
  • Try staying right under top 50 until last day (supps can't hit free players on last day).
  • DON'T HOLD MONEY. EARN IT and SPEND IT.
  • If you don't wish to be in top 50 right away then spend money on "Request Back-Up". You can then transfer it to combos on last day.
  • If attacked, try talking to the individual first and research crew.
  • Never give someone the ability to take vengeance unless you are sure.
  • If you are actively getting attacked put your troops into the low risk battlefield right away. This will drop your net worth quickly and hopefully out of the attackers range. Of course the success of this method depends on if the attacker will walk away or wait for you.

If you use firefox and are on your computer during the day, this is the easiest way to stay "up to date" with Combat Grounds activity.

 

1) Install the following plugin: http://check4change.mozdev.org/

 

2) Under Tools/Add-ons change the settings as desired.

 

3) Go to "Headquarters" on the CG Website and highlight the text from "Members" down to "Log Out". If you only want to watch for if you get hit your a message, you can just highlight those items.

 

4) Right click and select check4change and choose the desired time.

 

5) Open another tab in firefox at the CG Website. This will be the one you work with.

 

What happens:

Every time something changes, the tab/window/taskbar will blink. Click on the first tab to stop the blinking/highlighting and to see what has changed. Then use the second tab to check the changed item. You want to use the second tab because if you leave the headquarters on the first tab you will have to re-highlight and start the process again.

 

Note: After you read the changed item you must return to the first tab and hit "refresh". If you do not do this it will blink again when the time passes because the current "(1)" will be turning to a "(0)". If you have it set to 15 seconds there is a good chance it will have already detected the change and you will just have to click the tab to give it focus.

 

This is really helpful to dodge attacks in real time by either A)jumping in the low risk battlefield or B)e-mail the individual (works many times). If you want to get fancy you could make separate tabs for "Attack Log", "Mail Center", and "Crew Board".

This add-on is also very helpful in keeping up to date with other sites.

Just a heads up for anyone that may have missed the announcement about next round:

 

Christmas Special Event

 

Dear Combatants,

 

To celebrate Christmas this year, we decided:

 

- To give extra turns to all of you: all players will start the round with 10,000 free turns.

- The winner of round 137 will receive a very unique medal: Most Valuable Player 2008. Come prove that you are the 2008 overall champ and inspire everyone's respect, if not fear.

- We're going to reward the top free player a medal as well.

- We will double the points received by the top players and the leaders of the top crews.

- The maximum number of players per crew will be increased to 15 so you can gather more friends around you.

 

Happy Holidays!

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
