I just lost a battle. both level 53:

His stats: 4216/4681
My Stats: 5991/6648

I lost, I have even units in all 4 classes (100 x valor units in each Class i.e Sea / Air / Ground and Infantry) How can I lose this fight. I have 249 Aliance Members with 993 Units. All my units are used in battle.

Is this some bulls%it algorythm I dont understand.

It might be something to do with those attack and defense skill points you can buy each level that nobody knows for sure how they work.

[Meddicc]

That is a point i never considered. Anyone know what they do? I have put 5 points in my attack.

[Duke.0]

Skill points most likely.

Do you have max items / max ally for your level?

[Agent Orange]

Yeah it's the skill points that got you if you only have 5 attack.

I think there is a player who has only got attack skill pts so he can go up against some pretty well stocked players but that seems a lot like an old Star Trek episode where the aliens built a super powerful ship but it was all attack and no defense so once it was used up it was dead meat.

[Meddicc]

sweet, thank you for the response. Do you know how many points I should have in attack then? What attack do most people have and defence. please inc your level, I would loove to know.

[Agent Orange]

I think that greatly depends on your overall strategy. I'm at L75 and have decided that attacking and raiding are not cost effective so I have stopped buying these pts when I level up. Instead I have been funneling away energy because I am farming some of the map challenges as they are more lucrative at this point. In the early stages of the game I used to pretty much have a balanced approach to buying skill pts usually 1 attack, 1 defense, 1 energy. In hindsight I think I would have been better off capping my stamina around 14-15 and putting more emphasis on energy.

But again that fits into my overall strategy, I don't buy gold or cash so I have to do things differently in other words be more frugal and have a decent strategy.

[Meddicc]

I brought that Christmas Sale deal - $15 for 240gold. I brought 4 Deadly Rebels and one Gatling Tank. Other than that I have not spent a cent, and I just farm one particular job for around 1mil per day. I have 11 staminar and the rest is all in energy which means I can farm extremly well at present. I have just added you Agent Oraange.

Thought id share with you a way to make serious $$.

Get to level 50, make sure u fight often, you should have a minmum 100 Valor units in each area when you get to 50. The map is called "International Quater" (which open up at 50). On the very left there is a tank. It pays 200,000 to 500,000 per 1680 energey. Only cost me $600k to start hitting it. I hit its pay twice per day now as I level as well and receive around $900,000 per day. I then use the money to buy units for the next Map "Naval battle" (level 51). Very bottom corner, 189,000 - 623,000 for 740 energy. I am spending all my money on the items to complete this job (around $2.5mil) to start completing it. However at 900k per day, wont take me long. You need 7 Cruiser Ships and Subs. Make sure you can make Cruisers by level 51.

Other than that enjoy a SHIP load of cash, I cant belive how much money I have now, I am building some expensive money facilites due to this stratergey.

**Spend time searching for opponents to attack. It is worth is when yourealise you can win 99% of your battles.

if you attacked him, the difference is almost 25%,
if he attacked you, the difference is almost 45%.

It doesn't seem ridiculous to me that given the random factor and his possible defense, if you attacked him you can lose. It seems more far-fetched if you lost to his attack. But hey, in this game a light gunner can take down a cruiser.

Medicc - great info.

[frenda]

Great info. Thanks Meddicc and Agent!

[BobTheCar]

hay i was hoping you guys can help me i cant seem to get my defense up i am level 27 skills att 16 def 13 engery 530tamina 12 units 443 but 200 is gunners do i just need to buy more hevey duty units ? my id is 172 005 011 can you take a look and help me out also the next level on communications out post level 4 part 7 i am losing way to much money where should i go back and farm, oil rig is ok but slow and little payout

[Meddicc]

Level 27, u can have 135 allies and 540 units.

Imo, FARM 1st level Desert Leaders. This will add a lot to your attack and defence. Then build up your $$ per hour. Complete missions for the extra $$. If you dont have enough money to complete a mission, go back and max maps out. Each map goes to 5 maxed out. This will net you income and you shouldnt have to buy expensive units as you would have already completed that mission.
