I'm trying to shift my strategy around a little to be able to contend with the (seemingly) endless number of players who have spent copious amounts of gold on this game.
The keys to being able to tackle folks with a unit advantage are (and this would apply to going up against higher level/higher alliance opponents):
1) Upgrade economy to be able to afford (much) better units
2) Upgrade unit building capability to be able to build (much) better units
My take is the efficient approach is to always apply upgrades to money buildings (don't upgrade unit or defense buildings), then buy an advanced unit production building (elite facility, robotics facility, dry dock, or advanced airbase) and deck your allies out with the level 1 unit that has the best ratio of defense to cost while making allowances for casualty rates. To get the most out of this, I was wondering if anyone knew the casualty rates on the lvl 1 units for the ground, air, and sea advanced units:
Anti-Aircraft Vehicle
Harrier Jet
Stealth Boat
Disclaimer: There aren't really that many gold players, it's just of the 20 or so attacks I've had in the past week, it seems like the majority (like over 75%) of my losses are to players who have spent at least 700 bars.
