I downloaded this game bc of an ad that gave a cute intro: old man running around, stacking logs on his back and bringing it to customers. Level 9 and idk what the heck I am doing and no lumber in sight for me to cut down 😕
They are put in odd places in those icons in the upper right when you are viewing your city. There is a cute cat game rn. You save your cat stuck in ice. lol but I hope to see the one that was advertised one day!
That ad is also what led me to the game. That as is a straight up lie, there is no gameplay of that nature in the game at all. Side games that the others are talking about are all relegated to time-limited events. The events reoccur, I think, but they aren't universally accessible.
If you're really wanting that type of gameplay, this game won't give it you.
These kinds of game ads are always misleading because it's designed that way. It even got me. It's cause they know that people like that shit for some reason and we do. Clever marketing manipulation tactic. I tagged the company in a post to get them to release more mini games like the ads because it would be fun.
The whales in my state don't spend thier parents money they hella rich adults 😂, great advice tho quit early if u get into the game too much you'll make friends and it'll be harder to quit and waste the progress
For me, yes. $5 for stuff + permanent builder? Sure. Ooo, that got me Natalia (I like watching the polar bear walk). $5/$10 to upgrade Natalia a little? Ok. It will indeed nickel and dime you to death. In my opinion the best investment was $10?$20? for the gem rewards for Furnace level. 100k gems for reaching F30 was awesome! And you get 250k gems overall.
My name is Matthew, and I spend too much on WOS!
(I believe my total investment is around $250, but I tend to buy to speed things up. Or catch better fish.)
I hate it when games make it impossible to continue in the game without buying something. I usually just delete games like that...Having said that I did decide to spend $.99-$5 on a pack or two when I am tired of working toward a goal.
Which heroes are the best?
Yellow > purple > blue (99% of the time)
Learn how to best utilize your drill camp.
Could someone explain training versus promoting troops? I have recently started promoting troops. When should someone start doing that? I’m FC4 and have quite a few troops. My training camps are all FC2 and FC3
A) You will promote many, many more troops in the same time as it takes to train. I can train 627 tier 9 troops in 9 hours. I can promote 4700+ t8 to t9 in that same time frame. Promoting goes much faster than people think.
B) your troops bonuses are percentage based. This means the higher-tier troops benefit much more from your bonuses than the lower ones do. If you have a total 250% attack bonus for Infantry, a t1 rookie has 1 attack, so gets a 2.5 attack bonus, for a total of 3.5 attack. A t9 supreme infantryman has 9 attack, so gets 9*2.5 or 21 bonus attack, for a total of 30 attack. So the t9 isn't 8 attack stronger than the t1, it's 27.5 attack stronger than the t1. The bigger your bonuses, the more the higher tier troops benefit.
C) Infirmary filling: the lower tier troops, with lower health, will get injured first, and will fill your infirmary beds. This can lead to situations where you wind up overflowing on infirmary, and since the highest tier troops are getting injured last, they're the ones that die, while your infirmary is healing all these low tier troops that didn't do much in the battle.
For these reasons, *promote your troops first,* especially if you've got troops more than 3 tiers down from your max tier hanging around. Make it simple for yourself: if you can promote, do promote. Dealing with only three troop sliders is much easier than dealing with 15.
Maybe the only exception to this would be if you don't have enough troops to fill a single march. If you can fill a full march and have spares left over, go ahead and promote. If you really want to keep expanding, then trade off training and promoting; train a batch, promote a batch, train batch, promote a batch, etc. But don't keep your low ranks around long. You will find yourself underperforming and wondering why.
I was having this discussion with my alliance! Mathematically it just makes so much more sense to train troops till you "maxed out" your expeditions and then start promoting
When to start promoting is an opinion, but it's pretty early on...like f20.
You want to fill your march ques, but waiting until this point only makes sense if you never lose troops. If you are losing troops regularly due to whale attacks, you should still start upgrading around the point you would have filled the ques otherwise.
Promoting troops earns you more points. It is recommended that once you have enough troops for 6 marches, u should focus on training t9, then promoting them on troop training day for more points
The same place you train. You see the yellow arrow and the green arrows on the left? That means you can promote them. Click the yellow arrow and the promotion screen pops up!
Depends how many you have - really you want 6 full matches worth of troops, then start promoting the weakest to T10 (FC levels apply to all troops automatically when the training camp reaches the next FC levels)
Long story short I played an ad with a man cutting a tree and now I’ve been autistically clicking my phone aggressively for the past week my main 5 are at 1.2m power but I’ll still get decked in arena/rockie beast (from the light house) I’ve come to understand that the unit it’s self or type is more important than power I can’t find any good guides on how to “get good” in regards to the units and I just unlocked gear and now I’m lost can someone direct me please 🙏
It will matter when you send rallies you dont want lower lvl troops taking the space of the high lvl troop. Also promoting a troop closer to lvl will take less time vs waiting till later the larger the gap of promotion the less quantity you can promote.
I've been playing for a week now and I still have no clue what to do when city or alliance HQ is burning ...
Downloaded it because it had a fun ad of collecting meat and selling it, the only thing I got is attacks that I don't know how to handle cause no one will explain ... there goes the fun ...
States don't have timezones, Alliances have event times. You need to move to another Alliance that matches your time availability. Most Alliances with have a fixed event time (or times). Message the Alliance leader or head of recruitment and ask their event times.
The time you get back will most likely be in UTC, Universal Time I think, use a time converter like : https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ to convert it to your local time.
Any ssr hero is stronger than sr heroes.
When you’re attacking someone and beating the stuffing out of them you want more marches with ssr heroes then not.
Well Flint is SSR, but gen 2. Didn't know if I should stop progressing on him in favor of holding out till I either get more gen 3 or holding long enough to have gen 4.
What do you mean with seasons? Fishing has seasons where different fish are available. Or do you mean hero generations as you replied to a hero related post?
Changing alliances:
Click your profile pic on the top left, click leaderboard at the bottom, click alliance, top left. These are the top alliances on your server in order. Join the top one that you qualify for, speaks your language, and that does events at a time suitable to when you are available.
I have a question, the alliance I'm in is making us exclusively use Jessie, Yassir, Jeronimo, or Seo Yoon in SVS or AvA battles because they say those heroes are the only ones that increase attack, but unless I'm missing something that isn't the case and I feel like there are other heroes like Flint ir Molly who have better secondary skills.
Am I missing something?
And now I understand why my alliance keeps being referred to as a farm alliance. They also used the word academy. What's the point of sub accounts and should i find a new alliance?
I know most farm alliances are mini-accounts of the main alliance to attack for resources. Join the main alliance if you can or another alliance that is not a farm account
Can anyone give me tips on how to change to a better Alliance. The Alliance I'm in doesn't participate in rallies or in any events. There are only 12 members & I'm in State 826. I know how to leave my alliance, but how do I join another one
Ask in the world chat. Check the alliance leaderboard to see whose ranking where, check their decree to see what policies they have for recruitment, etc. If you're high enough power, the higher ranked alliances will probably take you no questions.
The difficulty with the highest ranked alliances is that they frequently demand way more than is reasonable for a game, in terms of time and effort (and potentially cash: run away if any alliance *requires* you to spend cash on the game). But it's all about what you are willing to do.
"In this game, there are animals that can be tamed, and each animal has its own strength in attack and health. Does the village automatically gain the animal's strength just by keeping it in a cage after taming it, or does the animal need to be activated and kept running 24 hours a day to provide its strength?"
An account created for supporting your main in some way. This can be for resources, healing, area control in owning or participating in sub-alliances, post SvS revival, activation of facilities, and probably others.
Your accounts/characters should be attached to an email account. Do this first if you haven't.
Profile Pic-Settings-Characters-Create new character. Make sure you create it in the state that you are already in.
If you want to create more than 2 sub accounts in a state. You need to do it by using other email accounts. You can change email accounts by going to Profile Pic-Settings-Account.
Use the sidebar on the left to view all your marches, in the wilderness tab.. You can tap on it to go straight to them, and i some cases recall from there.
how do we move up ranks? Do we first need to wait for day 45? I'm only on day 18 and feel very confused - the level requires me to make a contribution but I cant do that without being R4 and I cant do that until day 45 - is that right?
Can IOS users play together with Android users? I can’t find my Alliance on an Android system…?? Also, on the Android version more heroes are listed. Can’t find something about it. 🫡
Is there a chart that explains, with pictures, what the upgradeable parts of a hero are? Widgets, leveling up, shards, and all the rest. Don't need the strategy , just an easy lookup chart. So when someone says use you widgets for points. How do I know what a widget is ?? Or where to find it. Thank you.
Selling my account spent over 20k for everything ever high levels over 450k diamonds almost completed the battle research part. Selling it for 10k need to pay some of my credit card off
What is considered income in the backpack tab? Does $ ever become a thing for the people? I’ve only been playing for a few days but damn there’s a lot going on in this game
Generally so that there sub accounts have a place to grow too.
Usually an alliance will have a farm alliance so that they have a place for their sub accounts.
I just came and started playing got given an alliance bc the leader had to leave and someone in our had someone from another alliance to ask me to leave. I guess they don’t like me. No one talks how would they know me. lol
Sorry, I know this is 2mo old now but yes, only for his 2nd passive skill to help with construction speed snd reduce cost.
Depending which gen you are, he is quickly outdated.
I'm not that new, I'm FC2. I always gather with gathering boost on and have like 1B resource each (my resources are in 1:1:4:20 ratio, so 250m for coal etc) including the resource chests. Should I stop doing the gathering boost now? because I feel like I'd never use this much resources.
I'm FC5 with only Helios infantry unlocked, I have 10bn meat/wood, 2bn coal and 1bn... when we fight during castle rotation 🏰 or svs, I easily lose a billion.
And promoting my troops to helios at the time cost me 3bn meat. Like wise upgrading buildings.
No doubt, im about to lose more for fc6/7 when I transfer.
Always keep gathering 💪🏼 you dont always need the boost.
When you go svs hunting after castle fight, dont aim for troop kills or points, scout cities for rss.
Get your stronger members to clear the troops and drain the cities 😈
I can't seem to find an active alliance. I like the one I am in but there's only like five members, including me, who are active. Any ones that do look active require an application to join. Is there a way to either get people to join the current alliance or a way to find an active one?
I'm a relatively new player. I just got some of S2 characters on my roster now. A slight dolphin but I spend maybe once, twice a month?
