Thanks CCM – How old would you consider a thread for it to be necro’d? See stats below. I can update the intro paragraph to provide some instruction on FAQs and thread creation, i.e.
For any of these threads older than x days, you must create a new thread to continue the discussion (recommend naming it the same + Part 2, Part 3, etc.). Reference the original thread by posting a link in the first post.
Thanks everyone for your contributions to making this a comprehensive FAQ. Special thanks to Bronson, JP lfs, overkill 280, and War Priest for systematically helping me go through all of the old threads to see if there were any good nuggets out there. We uncovered a few and they’ve been included.
Thought you may want to see some interesting stats on what we reviewed. Note the average # threads created per day. Note: this was a non-exhaustive review on the title only, if it seemed to be a match, then we'd each review the content. There may still be some nuggets we missed.

Interesting findings in my thread range from the "early days:"
Common Questions still arise:
- How do I get free gold?
- What are the best jobs for using energy?
- What are people’s thoughts on leveling?
- Anyone else come across cheating/hacking?
- How should I allocate my skill points?
- How do rival lists work?
- How do I calculate A/D and how does it work?
- Should I build defense buildings and do the work?
- Why isn’t there a water defense?
- How does nation’s bonus work?
Common Complaints still expressed:
- Extensive upgrading/expansion times (too long)
- Inflexible alliance lists (sorting, search)
- Unpredictable casualty rates
- Can’t see attacker’s profile from news feed (only has Attack button, no Invade button)
- Gold players versus free players
- Sore feelings about getting attacked repeatedly (advice is consistent – grow economy, buy more units, use boosts, pick a unit boost nation, try again)
- Not enough participation from forum moderators (questions remain unanswered) – first starts in January
- No announcements from Funzio when game gets retooled
Interesting game feature recommendation:
Issue: Money buildings stop generating cash until the fund is collected.
Suggested solution:
- “Robotic Cash Collector” gold unit to that sweeps money buildings for cash while player is offline.
- “Collect All” button so a player doesn’t have to click on each building when collecting cash.
