I noticed that when attacking a base, even if you kill its defensive sicarios their talents are still active for the attack duration. Is this the same for our own offensive sicarios when we attack? Do their talents remain active? And if you start an attack with a dead sicario, are his talents...

I don't have a clue but I'm also curious about it!

The boat was used to store war loot and you had to click on it to collect the resources, just like your storage buildings. This was a very effective way to protect your hardly earned resources when you needed to start big upgrades since you could just let the resources sit in the boat until you...

Haha, this is true, Singaporeans are wealthy in general, but I am not. I got my defensive sicarios from events or missions and upgraded them little by little. Actually I think they're not so good when I compare them to my opponents, but I have an offensive strategy so I am not really investing...

Haha, I guess it's ok when the game is still new but once everyone has settled in there's no point in trying. I tried too... spent loads of cash and time, and no one ever showed up so I gave up and joined a cool cartel.

Yes, I second that. Actually it helped me rethink my strategies and get stronger. Then I discovered that I was able to take out a lot of opponents with one missing squad. You just have to assess carefully the base you want to attack before going at it, and leave the hard ones for later when you...

I also thought about that myself. Looks like a pretty good idea because depending on your level, you're gonna be struggling for iron or for cash, etc. so there is probably something that can be useful here. But that might not be simple to introduce though, because it could induce unfair...

Also I would avoid clusters (weapons that are right next to each other or to another building) because they are an invitation for your opponent to strike them with a missile and get twice more energy. And I see you have 3 different types of troops: I would advise to invest in offense upgrades at...

It is possible to play without paying, but it's less fun. Making the game as fun to play for free would be an extremely bad business decision.

Well I shouldn't be giving away all my tips because when everybody does the same I won't have an edge anymore, but luckily a lot of people on this forum seem to hate me or think I'm dumb so they probably won't follow my advice... And well, actually I didn't give away everything. :p

I don't know about the best strategy and I don't know if there is only one best. I wouldn't know for lvl 40 since I'm only 37, too. What I do is arrange a long online session in which I try to combine: - attack all outposts on map - attack all player bases on map (wait until you attack the...

I don't keep my resources if I don't have a shield. I think everyone gets raided, that's the way the game is designed. The thing is that you can only upgrade if you plan in advance to combine all in one long game session: map cleared of outposts and player bases + revenges + war winnings + what...

This has happened to me several times as well. I noticed it was more likely to happen when the game is in "search connection" mode (the little yellow walkie talkie at the bottom)

That is true, and as you said yourself you have a choice (pay or quit playing). A third option would be to keep on playing without buying gold, thus taking out all the fun out of the game so it is really an irrelevant option. That is my point, it is useless complaining about paying for gold...

Thanks for this thoughtful post, it gets rare these days around here... I generally agree very much with your suggestions.

You should make this into a poll, it would be easier to get a broad picture. I'm from France but I live in Singapore and I am in an American cartel.

I agree that there are too many changes, it is hard to stick to one strategy when the game is constantly changing. But my point wasn't about that, it is just about people complaining about real money. Nobody forces you to tap the "buy" button, this is just a game, some people are getting crazy...

Julio has already answered. From my own experience, the talents are totally random. I always try to get Gustavos when they show up in the black market as this sicario has been designed specifically to be fused for talent. Talents can get very expensive in gold if you keep on refreshing until you...

Then be smart yourself and speak in their favor... Everyone would like some free gold right?

This forum could be a great place to chat if we were actually discussing strategies, exchanging tips and suggesting game changes. But currently half of the content is about people complaining to have to spend real money and FTX reportedly stealing their money. Wake up people, this is a...
