If anyone has any questions in regards to modern war/ forum, shoot it here.


There are plenty of knowledgable members that can answer questions. I've realized that even with fact sheets,guides,etc etc out there, people still have questions.

Thank you and Enahs. I'd say you'd have to look through your rivals list and compare. Compare your stats to your rivals,if your attack,defense is much higher,stick with it and work up your iph and vault.

@Jhomel

Can't compare too much:

At same level:
Battles W:236-L:21
Enemies Killed 196
Raids 108
Failed Raids 3
Alliance Members 51
Attack 3087
Defense 3921
# Weopons 185
# Armor 175
IPH 3357

My strategy was to go all machine off the bat. I have 150 Zeplins for defense and none of them come into attacks with me because i bring Battering Ram as my lowest attack unit.

You have to tell us what is your plan if acction
for example I would say go with machines
level to unlock the breeden den and buy it, then upgrade to unlock Gryphos (along with manticores they have low casualty rate) you could use them to beef up your stats with low cash units
with the machines BANK ALL YOUR HPs and save them to buy canons once you upgrade the unit building for it
if you want to get good loot and gold and max the use of your energy, put ALL skill into hero sternght (maintain stamina at 10 first later lv-80 go to 20)) do not botter with skill in the attack deffense part
use 2 skill for 1 hero point and bank the other skill until you level up again, the cash them for 2 hero strenght point, an soon
always go to the last map you can, they will provide good loot and cash (you will level up a bit quick too)
if you want to camp, then that is another story fro which I could not help much

How did you got that much money man?
That's only a few days worth of gold right there, probably about a week. I don't raid or attack so I dont get gold that way. Failed attempts to attack me brings in at least 500 a day. Plus, I have some good 12/24 hour buildings upgraded so I collect a few thousand per 24 hour building and about 1000 per 12 hour building.

Haha I have 447k unvaulted and my vault only holds 83k

Is there any place that you can loot an Aircraft Carrier?
I've been checking out a guy who attacked me 2 days ago. I suspect he's glitcher, but that's not the issue.
He has 2 Aircraft Carriers,but his dry docks is @ Lv 1. His IPH is 34k lol. I guess that's all you need if you don't lose units.

Income is the means to an end. Just remember that. I focus on upgrading my money buildings before anything else, then my vault, then getting a solid, reliable defensive unit (zeplins at this time) then expanding my base. I've lost track of how much my upgrades cost...60..70k?

Then i have still have all of this money left? So i'm buying these stupid expensive weopons and armor upgrades since i figure they are "invincible"....to the best of my knowledge or until they change them. I will keep leveling as events come out but thats the lesson i learned from MW to hit my goals.

If I am Russia, have a level 5 (10%) air boost building, what is the final boosted value of an air unit with say 10a 10d ? Is in 20% of the values? Or 10% + 10%? Or something else ?

If you were going to change nations what would be your pick. I started the game USA but have both a decent naval and air units. Seems I have been seeing more Russia lately. Planes are cheaper but higher rates than most naval. I am going to change soon so just finding out what the mafia is thinking.

Pretty sure,as the stats & pic are the same. Doesn't look like a gold player & from what I can tell, the only indestructible units he has are from the last 2 events. His wins were at 3500 when he attacked me 2 days ago to over 4000 now. So it looks like hes moving pretty fast. The highest unit building is the airfield lv 5. He's Russia I can't see the tags on the barracks or elite training & everything else is 3 or lower.

I switched from the orient to the motherland, mainly because I have the falcon jet from event 3 or whatever, and u have a ton of super hornets. I may switch to the uk later on solely based on strong against factors which I feel are highly underrated... I fin myself not wanting to buy expensive cash units unless they are strong against something

Tuck - one more thing to check is you sure you looked at his dry docks and not his naval research base or something

Oddball- each device allows one account to it so you would have to contact support that you would like to have your account deleted so you can start from beginning

Hassle- it just started midnight -pst. It's only a 5 day event ,you didn't miss much

@Tuck it's possible that he/she might has accidently or purposely sold the dry dock earlier

Tuck
06-26-2012, 04:52 AM
@Aidan Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. It's possible, but why unlock units you cant afford ?his iph is 34k. Hmmm. He also has quite a few valor units,spread out in all classes,but hasn't unlocked the MLRS or SF yet. Just seems suspicious how the numbers keep increasing too. Probably has the "glitch"& there's no crime in that I guess.
@selfproclaimed. Yes, it is the dry docks. All his boost bldgs are also at lv 1.

bushobama
06-26-2012, 06:07 AM
country Russia (10% air bonus), if I buy a theoretical unit with 36 attack. what is the boosted value, 39.6 or does it round up to 40? I know this seems petty but it would probably add up in the long run, and I haven't been able to get someone to report my unboosted stats to me... YWIA

Vaulted money is safe, but when you are in the process of vaulting it, its still vilnerable, happened to me couple of times. Attacked me when I was vaulting money. After i closed and opened the game again I saw that I lost money

actually I'm pretty sure that is not the case. This is happening well after I have vaulted and closed out of the game. typically happens overnight. I will open up the game and see I have been attacked and lost money and all my cash was vaulted and no buildings were raided.

Bush- I wouldn't be able to tell you if it rounds up or not but send me a request and I'll post on your wall what ur stats show.

i mean you got attacked when you are in the game vaulting you money. It wont appear yet in you news feed. You closed the game and went to sleep, in the morning your newsfeed got updated and woke up surprised that you lost money even if there's no raided buildings.

06-26-2012, 07:23 AM
jhoemel-I suppose its possible but seems like it happens way too often for it to be a weird coincidence like that. I typicall only get attacked once or twice a day and its usually overnight. But I suppose its possible...though in my opinion not likely.

Self-maybe a glitch...

Guess I will try to watch closer for the next time it happens and see if I can see any commonalities and perhaps contact support if I can't make sense of it.

While we'r eon the subject of vaults...sucks vault is capped at 10mil! Not sure how I'll ever get myself a nano...gotten up to 14mil a couple times and taken the chance leaving it unvaulted but I always get caught befor eI can get enough for the nano! BAH!

Mage -with your boost buildings your defense is 10500. The other person is around 3000 shy. The only way with all boost buildings considered already is through skill points. I heard the way skill points work is for example . If someone attacks you and there skill points are a lot higher than your defense skill points, it multiplies there chances of winning that attack. There's lots of players in this forum that had mainly applied there skill points to attack over 100 and are able to defeat players with much higher defense stats to their attack stats because of them skill points.

I think it is pretty damn stupid that the first things taken in a raid is special event crates. I still think these should be able to go into the vault or protected somehow. I have seen in a attack against me that I lost 5 at once plus a lot more which is stupid there should be a limit on how much can be lost. Things like this might drive people away from the game. /rantoff

Odd but I find that the crates don't always drop first, I've made multiple hits before one drops so my guess is it varies. If you are looking at your stats don't forget that the news feed groups all of the hits you took into one post.

Agree with you on that. I usually attack somebody twice before moving on to make sure. I find more boxes the second hit than I do on the first.

I would say depends on how much gold you have or intend on using. If you are a regular gold user/ buyer ,then go for it. If not,I'd say there are better things to get with your gold.

It's already difficult enough finding loose change, and you want to put crates into the vault? That would turn people away from the game, and Funzio would sell less gold. The best solution is to go and find another player and steal five crates of him/her. Happy hunting.

Selfproclaimed
06-27-2012, 08:02 AM
N- why. - yes it's normal,even with infirmary upgraded. If you want to decrease your casualties, you would have to find someone with horrible stats compared to your own.

Crates issue- you just had a bad hit is all. A lot of times ,I have to attack someone 6-7 times before I get a crate. I attack them soo much simply for valor ,whatever drops with it,drops

Sorry if this has been answered. I did check the faq thread btw. Do the amount of allies atk and def average with the total amount of allies you have? Or does it just add up?

Selfproclaimed
06-27-2012, 01:10 PM
Virux- not sure exactly what you mean but I'll say yes... Each Ally will brings 4 additional units( your units,not theirs ) into battle. Example. Let's say you have 1000 units but only have 25 allies. That means you are only bringing in 100 of your units. Whatever your attack defense is, is a combination of your units,allies,boost buildings ,defense buildings.

Virux

Your allies units,strength,level, have Ning to do with going into battle. Your score will be the same if you have aN ally at level 1 guy with no allies or a level 100 with 500 allies.

question; if your pvping for cash, how do you choose who to attack to try to fish who has $ and who doesnt? Do you go to each persons profile just to check how much cash they have on hand (probably takes way to long)or do you follow some sort of technique? Right now i'm just attacking people who have the highest rank, ive come to notice high ranking people usually have some $.

Selfproclaimed
06-27-2012, 06:16 PM
I check each profile. And I only attack for cash if they have more than 10 million. Otherwise ,if you risk attacking based off of Bp rank,the people usually do have good stats ,and you are more likely to have higher casualties and not get any money anyways. I'm big on casualties, I only attack for cash if I know I'm going to get over a million when I'm done

It's a little time consuming but if I attack blindly , I'll lose too many units and risk not getting the cash back to make up for it. I'm level 81 ,not many leave unvaulted cash,most have max vault,so I don't usually waste my time point for cash. I pvp for valor,I find someone with stats less than a 1/4 of my stats so I don't lose units while farming for valor.

ok then. 2nd question, what do you mean by farming for valor? lol

i've seemed to hit a wall where i only get valor quests when i lvl up which is quite annoying.

Selfproclaimed
06-27-2012, 06:26 PM
Each level only gives a few missions for valor ,so afterwards I look for low stat players and attacked the crap out of them to make extra valor . The higher the level,the more valor you can make. Example. Level 81 , the most valor i can get per attack is 10 valor,average around 7-9 per attack. So I farm( attack ) certain players so I can gain extra valor and not lose units while doing it

Example. Level 81 , the most valor i can get per attack is 10 valor,average around 7-9 per attack. So I farm( attack ) certain players so I can gain extra valor and not lose units while doing it

i see... maybe ill start doing the same thing... but hard to farm valor and attack people for cash, those 2 probably never coincide. thanks a lot proclaimed.

Ptard - there is no quick way. It will be a long tedious process to drop that many. Actually,you should probably drop a lot more than that considering only 500 allies (2000 units ) max come into battle , so basically, having even 1000allies is pointless.

Mage- I have heard of people spending gold on the 2nd half of an event and not winning,I myself included , so I don't bother with gold on events anymore but if you do use gold on events , my best suggestion is to look at this thread by mcdoc who has won nearly every event with his strategy.

That is what happens when you get raided. I'm shocked and impressed that it's your first time. Have you ever raided anyone else?

Furthermore, if one of your defensive or boost buildings gets raided, you need to fix it before it works again. So someone with lower stats than you may attempt to take out your defense so they have easier access to your money. Look for the little wrenches and click them so the building is active again.

1) How do you guys take screens shots of the game? My first smart phone I got no clue.

2) Can anyone tell me the size of the Nano? Either relative to another building or using the "Palm Tree Small Square" as your basic 1x1 unit? My boss ticked me off so today is design base with AutoCAD vs work on that subdivision.

3) This is my first reply, is there a certain number I have to get before I am allowed to post a new thread?

Go to your rivals list, look for a profile that has high stats. Look through their inventory and see what units they have bought that aren't gold. And go off of that if need be, like the Chinese,if you don't know, steal the idea.

Your stats are pretty suckish and you need to have at least 15,000 to become an average player. Don't follow Dreno33's suggesting and DO NOT camp if you have a low income because you will get nowhere and people will still smash you. My reccomendation is go down to 200 allies and see how that works. Start to buy flamethrowers, medics, military ambulances, snipers, APCs, Inflatables, Frigates, and other low-medium units just to get your stats to below 7,500. One recommondation that is a MUST is stop doing map missions except for farming because you will get level up and get killed in the game. Go set up goals for yourself and find a few friends to compete in little contests. You need to tell me your skill-point usage and your income before I can do anything else.

Camping is effective but is very slow when building an army at level 84 camping is not like level 20 and you get attacked by people with 80 allies when you have 30 and if you have 60 they have 110 so its not a safe place. Plus, you get more attacks. I have camped from level 78-86 and it was not fun even though I have a big valor army advantage. Camping age is over at level 50.

Sorry i disagree that after level 50 camping is over. I'm a camping Event player right now. (i don't pve or Pvp except to participate in the events....which recently has made me very active) I have almost no Valor units (i think i have 20?) I'm currently level 59 with max allies and no real Powerful units with the exception of the Elite base defense. Majority of my defense is just Military Ambulances though and on average i'm holding 15 million over the past couple of weeks upgrading the expensive money buildings. Can individuals still defeat me? Of course but not 95% of them.

An update a few months ago added level requirements to the Unit buildings. However if you were playing and built the building before the upgrade you still have it. However don't feel bad as the level requirements are just put in place to help direct players so that they don't build unit buildings they probably can't afford to produce most of the units.

Hey all, is there a trick to getting yourself off someone's news feed? I think I have seen some mention of ways to do it, but I can't remember? Does it have to do with posting comments so that that attack/revenge option disappears? I am being attacked quite often by a single player - 11 times in a row and 9 times in the last hour. He wins half and he loses half, so we're pretty evenly matched. I am just sick of seeing it over and over again, even when he does leave a donation half of the time.

Selfproclaimed

Max is 500 ,2000 units go into battle. Common misunderstanding is people think it's their Allies units but it's not. Each ally will let you bring 4 more of YOUR units,not theirs. Sweet spot as in,drop your allies to like 450, look at your rivals list,if your attack/ defense is higher than most of your rivals,then your in a sweet spot, if it's not, keep dropping and keep checking to find that spot. If you can't find hat spot ,then perhaps you would need to increase your stats

That is incorrect. It is actually your rank times 5, with 500 as the max. Since you are level 95, you are only using 475. Also you will get farmed for valor over level 100 if you have over 499 allies, so you may want to drop below max for a while. Your call. The best strategy is to find your own comfort level and stay there.

Selfproclaimed
07-02-2012, 06:06 PM
Jayharn- limited good units, I'd say some are worth it. Say you spend 60 gold for the low LE unit that has like 30-40 stats. Kind of not worth it considering you can win a free indestructible with higher stats. Buuut we all have our own style of playing.also depends on how much gold you have,how much your willing to part with,will you have gold in the future. I myself, DO buy them low gold units because I like certain ones ,not based off stats but based off of how cool I think it is,lol.
As for the boss. You hav to go to your app store and update the game . At this point there is no way for you to probably make it to the final boss but you can bang some out and get some free indestructibles. There is also a special on the LEs that if you buy a full set of LEs ,you get a free gold unit

So my question, what the hell cash unit should i buy? I've been buying a10's since they're okay since i have 160 of them but have a hella high casualty rate but it seems like most air units do,

would you suggest i move to UK for lower rates and better units or buy a diff cash unit like the sepctre gunship after the airfield upgrades (11-13 160k dunno about the casualty rate)

so... simply put, what the heck should i buy or should i just switch countries and buy cruisers?

yea, i upped my allies so i could beat the boss quicker so now im reducing back down to around 70 allies and gonna camp for a little, gonna get my unit buildings higher i guess, it just sucks that im wasting 48-60hours on unit buildings when i have money buildings only taking 16-18 hours, guess im gonna have to camp for a few months >_<

I would go with the bio dome or coal mine. Geo thermal is good but the cost to upgrade it far is out of reach if your not able to leave millionsss unvaulted . Look at the spreadsheet . You can probably get a bio dome putting out over a million with upgrades and actually reachable . Same with coal mine.

your right, that biodome is pretty good, cheaper upgrade and even faster...

More questions; i'm thinking about plunking down a large amount of $ on Gold for gold units to build myself a small gold army, is it REALLY better to buy crates then it is to buy LE's now that you get that bonus unit? i know the crates give you more units, but the units aren't as strong especially if you get a bunch of commons..... especially if im camping with low allies.. or am i thinking of this incorrectly?

Mage- technically, crates are better. Example. I had bought 18 3packs. Which equals 54 units. Of them 54 I only had 4 rares, lots of uncommon and common, and the stats increased a bunch. For around the same cost, to buy 2 full sets of LEs ,with the free unit, your looking at like 4 high end stats ( like a rare ) and only 6 additional units ,which would be the other LEs . One full set of LEs only increased my stats by like a thousand. When I had bought the crates ,it increased by like 3000 .

Thanks SP, i just searched around and found a thread where he explained the math, i know it was pretty obvious that crates are better, unless you only get uncommons >_>

At your level sea scouts are your best defence then when your money grows move on to mine launchers and finally aircraft carriers.

For attack start at subs then cruisers then hovers and onto destroyers. Forget about ballistic subs cas rate is medium.

There are good air units so still get SH but I have more SF due to my flag and naval boost. Also I have stocked up on global hawk drones due to their "strong against air" property.

SS drones are a must at higher levels but right now you would be good with medics, Military ambulances, Cruisers, Sea scouts, and probably even the transports. At level 40 you don't need to care about density but, care about being in the top. As you advance, slowly replace them with SS Drones, and mine ships.

You can go anyway you want to play but always keep in mind that at some point your gonna need atleast 2000 units for attack and 2000 for defence.

I have 100 cruisers but not bothered if they die in battle as I can buy 1 of them every 2 hours just from my 1 hour buildings but if you go low ally then the higher the stat the better and hovercrafts are much sturdier than cruisers and destroyers are better than both. I have only ever lost 3 destroyers.

Top 4 lowest cas units in the game in order Railgun, Aircraft Carrier, Battleship & Destroyer. At end game these are what I want in my army with a sprinkling of valor and Steath bombers but that is a long way off.

Not to argue, just to provide a counterpoint-

The "Stealth Surveillance Drone" unit is a great defensive air unit. 8 attack, 30 defense "Very Low" casualty rate at $525k. I feel like it is a good value with a heavy enough slant to defense that you won't lose them when attacking.

Always good to have a counter argument. I was only going from my experience and haven't unlocked them yet as working specifically on sea. From my point (being UK) the accumulative effect of having say 200 ML is better for my boosts than having 100 ML and 100 SSDs.

For non UK players then SSDs make more sense for pure stats but then you also have to take into account the MLs strong against sea property as I like all my def units to have a strong against.

I agree. I love the Mine Launchers. Especially with the strong against. They also unlock faster, I believe. But that 11 attack score is tougher to get out of your attack army if you are using them only for defense. As a UK player, you could farm the Mini Sub, and with the country bonus, that would keep your SSD's out of battle.

I completely see where you are coming from. Country Boosts and Boost Building have to be managed carefully as well. I try to think in terms of "What unit is this replacing/protecting?"

For example- As UK, not only are your Mine Launchers a good defensive unit, they can also keep your Super Hornets out of your defensive army, so you won't lose them unless you attack someone else. It really is the better call in your case, I believe.

My current problem is the reverse- trying to keep my Aircraft Carriers from attacking. That is a Billion Dollar problem, I think. Lol.

That is the conundrum I am working on now getting def out of att and att out of def. Only problem with mini subs is your guaranteed to lose 7-8 in 10 attacks so I only farm them during events as its a good crate drop.

For the MLs with flag and naval boost I need either a sea unit 12 or above or non-sea 14 or above so currently stocking up on cruisers and hovercrafts to push these out but may take awhile as I have a baseline of 250 allies giving me 1000 units.

Commando's would do the trick, but you have the High casualty problem with infantry. When you get into the Stryker, Harrier, Pavelow class of unit, the cost becomes a factor, even though the casualty rate is lower.

My plan is to try and stick to low cas rates where possible that's why my army takes a long time to upgrade going the slow but steady route and I would rather have my problem instead of yours with the carriers.

When I finally sort out these 1000 units I'll be set as then I know what to buy to replace what and then slowly add allies as I lvl up and a couple of nano and oil rig upgrades will help!

I have some defense on my money buildings, but remember, the best defense against raids is collecting your money on time. Some of the money buildings aren't worth protecting (like Supply Depot's.) Personally, I gave heavier defensive attention to the boost buildings. I also try to hide defensive buildings if possible, so intruders get a surprise. Some people go the opposite route and put their buildings out in the open, as a warning.

Also, you can overlap the defensive halos for even better coverage.

I'd say you could survive fairly well in the 315 - max allies range (405 would be max at your level). With 315 allies your defense density is at 30 which is good. And at max allies your defense density is around 23, which is survivable but not ideal. Hope this helps.

Edit: Knowing your current amount of allies would help too. I'm just estimating the above numbers based on your given 38k defense.

what i do is:

go to the add ally screen
take note of your current atk and def stat
add 1 ally
find out how much atk and def. you gained.

this will help you figure out what your weakest unit is. if your weakest units are strong, then keep adding more allies!

Jp lfs
07-06-2012, 04:02 PM
@jayharn3

You may want to rethink your strategy for deleting allies. Strength is not determined by level number. You may have some powerful allies in the lower levels that will come back to haunt you later. It takes much longer, but when I am deleting allies, I always visit them first to check stats and if they are still active. Dead accounts are the first to go. High Level players with low stats are next, because I may be able to farm them later. Low level players with high stats I try to keep as allies, just in case they sneak up behind me.

Just a couple thoughts.

Composite adds 20% at level 10
Boost building adds 20% at level 10
Nation bonus adds 10%

Which means:

1.2x1.2x1.1 = 1.584 that is 58.4% is the total max boost you can get for a units' defense.
1.2x1.1 = 1.32 that is 32% is the total max boost you can get for a units' attack.

Is this correct or not? Do the stats support this?

I'm pretty sure the total boost is calculated by adding each value rather than multiplying.
So 1+0.2+0.2+0.1 = 1.5 etc.

So the boosts are applied on the base values only?

Then how is it possible that someone changes nations and DOES see the 10% change in stats even though those stats are already boosted by some building already?

According to my math you would see the full 10% change but according to your math it would be less.

JMC care to enlighten us? I think I read somewhere in the past that you changed nations and saw the difference.

Crapples. I'm about to unlock the Stealth Surveillance Drone in a few hours and i need a few units to increase the my attack so that they aren't taken in to battle when i attack :/
I'd rather not reduce allies.

I'm facing the same pickle Hassle, trying to look for the cheapest way to keep these guys out of battle as well. Thinking maybe farming a few hundred Venals and picking up a few hundred Seals might be a good way to spread the pain. Problem for me is I'm a raider and replacing Seals is too costly. I'm totally cool with hanging with the current set up, I just can't seem to move up to the "next level" in terms of defense though and I think hitting lvl 150 with SS as top major defense unit would be asking for pain, lol.

So the boosts are applied on the base values only?

Then how is it possible that someone changes nations and DOES see the 10% change in stats even though those stats are already boosted by some building already?

According to my math you would see the full 10% change but according to your math it would be less.

JMC care to enlighten us? I think I read somewhere in the past that you changed nations and saw the difference.

No, you would see the difference.
E.g
You're UK, army is made up entirely of sea. Base att/def = 1000/1000.
Nation gives a boost of 10% (0.1)
Boost buildings give boost of 20% (0.2)
Total boost affecting attack = 0.3 so boosted attack = 1000 x 1.3 = 1300.
Total boost affecting defence = 0.3 + another 20% from comp factory so = 0.5
1000 x 1.5 = 1500.

If you then switched nation to Russia (baring in mind all your units are sea based).
Total boost affecting attack = 20% (just boost building) so 1000 x 0.2 = 1200.
Total boost affecting defence = 40% so 1000 x 1.4 = 1400.

Therefore you would see the difference.

That's how i've always thought it worked, sorry if i've mislead you.

Yeah i was also going to aim to unlock seals once i've got the level 6 war factory. In 30 mins when my airfield upgrade is done i'm gonna spend 11m on the drones and see how they survive when used for attacking as well. If their casualty rate turns out to be good then i'll be less bothered about taking them when attacking and i'll concentrate less on unlocking new units and more on boost buildings for a while.

Battle points ranking question. I understand you do not get the reward until you complete the rank or enter the next level. I completed Lieutenant (110k points) and was working on the Captain rookie status. I received the award and the Expert Attack Drone (46/30) for completing Captain rank and used my valor to purchase 49 of them for a total of 50 counting the rewarded one.

I have been working to get past the rookie Captain and at 165000 points I received notification that I reached Capt and received the reward again and I am now at Captain Apprentice. I know have 51 Expert Attack Drones.

So the question is, was this an error or am I not understanding something and should I send in a ticket. If it is an error at this point I would say it is in my favor however I don't want to wait until Major Apprentice to receive the Captain reward. I had no problems up until now and I wonder if it has to do with them lowering the battle points awhile back.

Thanks and I hope I made this clear.

No, you would see the difference.

Thank you for your detailed response :)

However, this is what I meant:

I have one single unit in my army, with 100 attack value. With 10% boost and 10% nation bonus my Attack stats should show 120 strength (according to your math of adding the boosts and not multiplying them)

Now I switch nations and lose 10% of the 100 base value, so my attack stats will show 110 strength

120 / 110 = 1.09 so I will see a 9% decrease only

The same is true in reverse.

And ally is an ally, they all help equally by letting you take 4 more units to battle, so a level 90 ally will not help any more than a level 3 one.There is no "good number", it's all up to you to find out where you prefer. Just remember that you can only have 5 times more allies than your current level, so level 10 can have 50 allies etc.. If you have more then they won't be used.

If you are quite a high level then it's best to have a lot of allies because whales can see you and you need as much defence as possible.

How many units can you take in to battle? I'm level 23 with max amount of allies. I've been buying loads of one top unit and it keeps increasing my stats but I want to know when I will stop using it in battles/stats

Easiest way to think of this is the maximum amount is 20 times your current level up to level 100, then it is 2000.

So at level 23 you can take a maximum of 460 units to battle.

Olly1
07-09-2012, 06:35 AM
So the max I should buy of any unit at my current level is 460? That's a hell of a lot!

I'm used to CC where the max at level 100 is 500 units. This is going to be expensive

This is grand total. I know in CC they split up the unit types, but in MW, you are not limited. At level 100, you can have 2,000 total units-and they can be of all one type if you wish. In addition, your attack group and defense group might be different, so you can feasibly have 2 entirely differrent sets of 2,000 unit groups.

Hope I didnt just muddy the waters, lol.

I've been playing this game for a very long time (soon after it came out I guess) and didn't know that. I've been buying a little bit from each category thinking that was the right idea. So it's a little muddy now but at least I can employ a new strategy. Any recommendations for a UK player?! Should I go all out on sea units?

Arghhh! Wish I asked sooner instead of assuming!

I'm going to try to politely disagree with a couple points here.

"A strong ally is better than a strong enemy." is something I believe in firmly. Your allies are not only a tool you use to change your statistical numbers, they can also be a tool you can use in other ways. If you ally with other strong players, then you don't have to worry about them attacking you, and they may be able to help you if you are being bullied by another player. If you ally with weak players, you will not be able to farm them for extra income, and they will not be able to help you in any way other than statistically. So that level 3 ally is pretty much USELESS to me, while that Level 90 ally may have a HUGE impact on my game, positively or negatively.

There is a psychological side to this game in addition to the statistical side. If you are ignoring that, you are missing a useful aspect of the game.

My other point is that having large numbers of allies at higher levels is not always the best strategy. It does increase your stats, but it also puts you in the same weight class as others with full allies. If you have a low unit density with high allies you will be much WEAKER than your rivals. Conversely, if you have low allies with high unit density, you will be STRONGER than your rivals.

No disrespect intended, but I strongly disagree with the points you made. I would welcome a polite discourse on the topic.

There are benefits to other unit types, though Sea has a great lineup. Super Hornets are easy to unlock and have a great deal of attack power. Infantry units make great meat shields being cheap and of decent stats. Ground is a hard type to fit in and I generally avoid the type altogether.

I actually have a question in relation to experience points.
They appear to have increased with level, (not long hit 135) but do they also increase with the number of attacks/raids you have completed?

Just completed 20 attacks and the LOWEST number of points was 10, highest was 25 and the average was 18.

I noticed this also, and it is a very recent change. Usually, XP and VP would range from 1-20 randomly. Now the XP seems to range much higher. I have not done enough attacking recently to give a definitive range, but it certainly feels like it is double or more.

My A/D : 68k / 64k
I did 20 attack to a rival with 27k def (US Flag). The result are as follow :

Gain

Battle Point : 1240
Valor : 263
Experience : 321


Lost

A. Casualty Rate - Low
Brigand Lightning (99/80) : 2
Expert Attack Drone (46/30) : 2
Venal Fighter (39/24) : 1
Super Hornet (36/26) : 7
Predator Sub (26/14) : 1
Ghost Operative (20/14) : 3


B. Casualty Rate - Medium
Harrier Jet (18/14) : 2

C. Casualty Rate - High
Bio Warfare Troop (17/8) : 1



Most of my army are casualty rate low.
Besides, I have -36% casualty rate.

I know We all have been faced casualty rate problem so long.
Don't want to complain about it to support team because other players did enough complaining.
But I noticed that it has been getting worse day by day. Now I have no idea how to continue this.
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

ZeroCoder, and anyone interested-

Lower the amount of Super Hornets you have, and increase meatshields. Through trial and error I was able to limit my I Super Hornet losses to 1 dead per 100 attacks/raids. Tracked my SH losses for over 900 attacks/raids and I lost 8 total. I had 1000 meatshields at the time and 200 SH, mixed among various medium strength units. Was about lvl 100 with 400 allies and took 1600 units into battle at the time. My stats are low, but I make good money to turn around and stick into defense, money buildings, and boosts.

Ok, my turn for a real head scratcher. I just bought 10 Stealth Surveilance Drones and something really weird happened.

Defense score before - 45444
Defense score after purchase - 45441

Um WTF Gree(d)

I bought 10 and defense should go up not down. I have 280 units below the drone in def score that are to be replaced by those (in this case stealth frigates at a count of 264 went down to 284, at 23.8 defense per unit compared to 34.8 per drone) I should havee had an increase of 110 points not a decrease of 3. REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Edit: before anyone asks my allies did not drop its still exactly the same number before my purchase.

Ty . And poop . Did you do any attacks before you had made the purchase that could of made the amount go down? If not, than I'm not quite sure what to make of it . Usually when that's happened to me,was when I had lossed a few units after doing some battles, then when I went to buy some more, it appeared to do the same thing. I would say, give it a lil time, check your numbers, make another purchase and see if it does it again.
