Just downloaded Modern War for android not long ago - so far like it more than CC :D

I'm lvl4 (not by choice) and wanted to see if anyone has some good beginner tips they would like to share.

level 4 doesn't get any events, fight the boss or anything like that. I believe they start around lvl 9 or 10. I thought it was lvl 10 for the longest time until I saw a lvl 9 player with the event.

Well the game just came out for android... took about 4 months for events to show up on CC android and about as long for the scratchers.... So I'm use to it... that is fine by me...

So ok - here are a few questions if anyone cares to answer because I'm too lazy to search (well... I did a basic search and looked over most of the strategies....)

1) What's the highest level?
2) What's the average, above average, and godlike attack/defense at lvl100+
3) Are all units consumable?
4) When it says I can bring 2000 units into battle, is that 1 of each category? Or can I bring ie: 2000 tanks into battle?

More shall come as I tinker around with the game...

My CC android does not get scratchers at Level 4, Android MW does not get the same gold units nor the same crates. the basic units are the same as well as the buildings. As far as we know you cannot transfer Android to iOS either. Android and iOS players are mixed together on the same rivals lists, some with disastrous results on low levels (event loot to iOS is a rather large unbalancing issue). Be warned Android will be at a disadvantage in PVP until they fix this.

your questions are not simple ones let put it that way, but the easiest one to answer

yes all units are consumable in a manner of speaking except those marked as indestructable (gold, event, crate units)

Thief
08-08-2012, 09:05 AM
1) Level 200
2) There isn't an exact Science but I believe it's around 50K average with 300K+ for Godlike
3) No Units you buy with Gold and Items you win from Events are not Consumable
4) You will bring your most powerful Units into Battle (you don't get to choose..other than choosing which ones you buy) To bring 2000 you would need to be livel 100 with 500 Allies however as each Level you can "use 5 Allies". IE right now if you are Level 4 then you could have 20 Allies with the potential to bring in 80 Troops into battle on either offense or Defensive Battles

5) I believe it's 25 different Visits to collect 25k a day...but i could be wrong.

Highest Level is 200.
Gold units are indestructible. The rest are perishable.
You can bring whatever units you like to battle. There are no class restrictions.

What is the best unit to purchase with Valor? 1 for Attack 1 for Defense - and are these units also consumable?

Each level allows you to bring 5 allies with you to battle. Each ally allows you to bring 4 additional units to battle. example. Lvl10 . Can bring 50 allies, with a total 200 units into battle. ONLY gold, event units are indestructible. Valor units can be lost. Save your valor, until you get further, and get super hornets or better. By that time, you should have allooot of valor. It might be tempting to spend it while your still low, but resist.

Regular units. You lose them either in battles or if you get attacked. Each unit has different casualty rates so it may vary as to how many and which units you lose.

08-08-2012, 09:35 AM
So I picked the US as a nationality... I'm getting the feeling this was a bad choice...

Is stamina at all important in this game? I saw no income boosts unfortunately so I went with the stamina...

Are the hornets the best attack/defense units available with valor?

Selfproclaimed
08-08-2012, 09:37 AM
Stamina is good just for attacking/ raiding people. And yea, you should of picked Russia or uk. Russia has 10% air bonus and uk has 10% sea bonus. What you could do. Is , if you do tapjoy. Within a day of doing day of doing tapjoy, you can probably earn enough free gold to switch nations should you choose to.


They aren't the best in stats, but they have a good casualty rate and are a favorite. All higher valor units past SH are higher in stats , but the casualty rates a worse . And the really good valor units Well, your way off from them. Including myself

CC is 50.

Selfproclaimed
08-08-2012, 09:41 AM
I'm not sure of exact numbers. But I believe the amount is different for each defense building. Like guard tower might be 10 or something and Sam missles is 5 . Etc etc




And one more important thing... ALWAYS be upgrading your vault. The max protected is 10million.

The problem with this is that skill points in attack and defense effect the outcome of fights. it has been noted when a player with larger attack values goes up against a person with lower defense (sometimes by as much as 50%) can lose soley based on skill points put into defense vs your attack skill points.

Thank you for that tip! I'm already on third vault upgrade :D

Also, what is a good IPH to maintain a healthy army?

And most importantly - are the defense buildings broken like CC? How do the defense buildings work? I know you can place them close to the buildings for added protection... but are they used in raids and attacks?

Oh interesting... well - I usually do 1 Attack 2 Stamina = 1 stamina...

Should I then do 1A 2S then 1D 2S?

I like the idea of having at least 100 stamina...

Selfproclaimed

Not in raid and attacks. It adds to your defense score. I don't think the make a dramatic effect but every bit counts I suppose. A good iph .hmmm.. I think maybe it depends on what level you are but spot be safe ,300k + . A lot of people get around level 40 and then stop/camp for awhile to bring their iph up. The better the economy the better the units

Selfproclaimed
08-08-2012, 09:54 AM
Also, I wouldn't aim for 100 stamina. Maybe 50 but a 100 . Good luck finding enough people with unvaulted money and uncollected buildings to raid to use up that amount of stamina,lol

Yeah I didn't mean used WHEN attacking in a raid or PVP... I'm saying are the buildings used do defend against both raids and PVP and is it a true defense score? I'm assuming D buildings are not consumable?

Can D buildings be leveled up?

In CC for instance if the base defense is 5 each level afterwards regardless of what it shows is 2.5... so a lvl10 defense building with 5D as base is only equivalent to 27.5 defense...

Honestly it seems your iph is never enough because your always trying to get better units and do upgrades. Many people are attempting to camp at low levels to bring up their iph and stats while it's still easy to protect, but if you like to pvp it may be way to time consuming to do.

Defense buildings are limited to 5 of each type. They do work. They add to your overall defense but with people raiding you it's not the overall base like in CC. Each building has its own range which you will see by a blue circle when placing the building.

It protects you from attacks. All the defense buildings you build and upgrade will be completely put into your defense score.

It protects buildings in the range from raids. Only defense buildings in range will protect you here.

I like to base it on your missions and playing style. if you get bored easily go for stamina, but remember it takes 3 mintues to recharge 1 stamina so 5 stamina per 15 minute time frame. if you often you can get less stamina, the attack and defense skill points are still rather up in the air which is more important, its discussed alot.

as for energy, you don't need much right now, you can add a few every so often, but until you really get into missions its a safe bet to not invest much there.

sexkitteh
08-08-2012, 10:01 AM
Also, when you attack/defend and you use your "best" units... the units that do get consumed, are they the "best" units you brought to a fight? Or is it random ie: you lose a cheap infantry?

I ask this because in CC with explosives it kind of happens that way.... you can loose a crappy explosive even you are maxed out on the good ones... it's weird...

Awesome. What mission the requires the most energy for 1 tap?

I think it's about 600 in CC so I plan on adding 1200 nrg to that account when I'm like lvl160+

I think I will do same in this game...

Also how does the income per level on cash buildings work?

Is there a chart for that?

ie: LVL1 Supply depot = 100 lvl2 = 200 etc...

It's displayed as as if it's only protecting the buildings surrounding them. Buut they do add to your overall defense score. And you can upgrade your defense buildings BUT ,that is another thing I wouldn't waste time doing ,yet at least.you need to focus all your upgrades in money and unit buildings
Best place for skill points. Depends. You say you plan on doing a lot of attacking . Set a goal. Say, 15 stamina, 20 attack. Depends on how you intend on playing

here is a chart for cash buildings and how they upgrade per cost and time.

the most energy per tap on low levels seems to be in the 200 to 300 range. the higher ones on the highest levels are around 600 per tap. with 200 to 300 max you will have many levels of time to expand.

We are all going to be as helpful as possible, but find JohnnyR's "FNG Guide" and Agent Orange's "Guide to Modern War."

You have a ton of questions that are answered in those two guide's. So read those first, then we can help fill in the blanks better.

Casualties here work WAAAAAAY different than in CC. Be prepared to lose a lot of units. And I would also say go easy on the stamina...

08-08-2012, 10:49 AM
I had to pop out to double check their locations...

1st thread down on the front page here, 1st and 4th guide's are my favorite's.

I didn't realize JohnnyR had renamed his guide, either. But that's still the right one.


Edit: As soon as I posted this, the FAQ's moved to the first slot. Sorry if there was any confusion.

It depends on everybody. Some can't get past boss 4 without gold, other's can't get past 15, and other's 25.

Depends on attack score and level. So for everybody it's different.

have to be lvl 10 for any event to be available
