Online War Game to Pass Some Time

[brownsfan019 17]

Just found out about a cool little online war game.

 

It's a fun little war game. It's not a graphic intense fight game, just planning and behind-the-scenes stuff.

 

Something different.

 

Click here to get there and drop me a message if you sign up! We can get an TL Crew together!

 

A crew is a group of leaders that join together to be stronger vs. being on your own.

[brownsfan019 17]

So far Soultrader and HLM have signed up.

 

Should we start a 'crew'? Why not...

 

I just got my ass handed to me in a battlefield... ouch... :frustrated:

[brownsfan019 17]

OK, so I made a crew!

 

Name: DayTradersUnite

 

In order to get on the DTU crew, you need to let me know that you want on the crew! Just drop me a line here or on the game site and I will send an invite your way.

 

Max capacity of crew is 10.

I can only send out a total of 15 invites.

 

First come, first serve.

Hi BF,

 

I've played A.'s Army a while ago (two years), but I would like to join your team.

If I'm a not good at all, or I will just not find the time, throw my out.

 

Anyway, I would be happy to be a part of your team.

Just sent me a PM with information, how I should go on, or post it here.

 

Regards,

 

Hal

Hal,

 

1) Sign up under this link: http://tinyurl.com/39cyug (I will then see you in my tree).

2) Drop me a line here or on the game site and I will send you an invite to the crew.

3) After that, read the FAQ and then go kick some butt!

Hey, I signed up but have no clue how to play this game. I will spend some time trying to figure this out.

Ditto. Had 29,000 recuits, pulled them from a conquered country and now I have 5. No attacks either? I'll get there.

Ok guys, here's some bits of advice given to me:

 

=========================================

Here is what you are going to want to do....Go to where it says recruit under manage troops and spend 200 turns until you get 15 K troops..then go to raise funds and put 200 turns in the raise lvl option (left hand bottom) until you have a lvl of 3000. Then go to the battlefield and select high risk...you have to be careful here...You pick take over territory then put all troops..then select exploit resources..be careful people can attack your troops and you can lose them all..( it is called sniping) once you get 2-3 mill go to nuke countries and spend 50 turns and nuke all the places you can

 

=========================================

You should buy the outposts and medical centers max and you should buy like you first couple cheap things 5000 each under defense attack and combo but you you should focus on buying aircraft or cruise missiles when you can

[brownsfan019 17]

Here is under my name and who I just sent invites to for the DTU crew:

 

Soultrader

HLM

Shreem

OpenSeason

TraderGrunt

 

(these are the screennames on the game, not necessarily here on TL).

 

If your name is above, you should have received an invite into DTU. Please let me know if you did not as I am learning how to use this software as well.

[brownsfan019 17]

CALLING ALL DTU MEMBERS:

 

I apparently pissed the wrong dude off and he is DESTROYING me...

 

Screenname: Crymsonite

 

If you are able to attack this person, please do and kick some butt. He has just wailed on me all day long and I don't have nearly enough to fight back at this point.

 

Lesson learned - be careful who you attack as they may not like that... :doh:

[brownsfan019 17]

And don't worry if we suck at first guys. There is a brand new game every 10 days, so we can do some trial and error for awhile.

 

One thing I have learned - get recruits. The only way to move up the ranks is based on your recruits, so get them! It appears the quickest way is via battlefields, but you are also majorly exposed while doing these. I had about 30k in recruits and put them all into the battlefield b/c you earn more the more recruits that are there... works great until someone comes along and just picks you apart. I left with 0 recruits...

 

So, be careful on the battlefields. You want recruits there as they will get you more $$$ but you are pretty much defenseless against any attackers.

If you sign up under BF, you need to send me a message if you want part of DTU as I will not see your signup under my link.

[brownsfan019 17]

nick and BF - you should have invites to DTU.

[brownsfan019 17]

HLM- tell us what's your trick!

 

He's on a tear so far. I am not surprised.

[Hlm 10]

What I have done so far...get recruits, train them, and rest them. Get a lot of them since it will help you gain cash and levels. Go raise funds to get cash and levels. Then start nuking countries. Make sure to keep the training up and soldiers rested. Also, don't forget to bank some cash in case you are attacked. I have yet to fight anyone yet though.

[brownsfan019 17]

Crew update - we have 4 on the crew so far and at least 5 invites out to join.

 

THE CREW CAN ONLY HOLD 10 MEMBERS.

 

First come, first serve.

 

------------------------------------------------

 

Note - you can sign up for the game whether you join the crew or not. So even if our inaugural TL crew gets filled up, you can still join and play. If there's enough interest, someone else can start a new crew.

 

Click here to sign up and get going (drop me a PM here or on the game site if you join) or use BF's link.

I'm going to have to figure out this ATTACK thing b/c I've won most of the battles I initiated, but two players retaliated (that's fine) but just beat me down over and over and over again. I mean, look at this:

 

 

 

 

Apparently if you attack someone, it basically gives them an open door policy on your troops. My win % is really attractive, but that doesn't mean anything as two of these attacks cost me a ton of money and recruits.

 

Moral of the story - don't attack others in the beginning. Wait for someone to attack you and then you can go back and attack them whenever you want.

[Trvlwanderer 10]

Since I cannot create a new account, I'm gonna have to sit and let the turns build up. Can't help ya yet....I've got my own "flea" pestering my little pile of recruits.

Yeah - those turns are precious. Have to use them wisely.

[brownsfan019 17]

Some observations up to this point of our first round of CG:

 

1) Don't pick fights (aka ATTACK).

 

2) If someone does attack you, retaliate until you just pummel them to the ground. See my previous screenshot for an example of what to do to someone else. I learned first hand that it sets you back a ton.

 

3) In the battlefield area, you have to be quick - get your recruits and/or money - and get out. You are VERY exposed here and another troop can pick you off easily. These ambushes in the battlefield do not appear to show on your attack screen (probably b/c they are not an official attack). I had one instance where I had over 30k in troops and LOST THEM ALL in a battlefield ambush. I have yet to get near that number again...

 

4) We'll have to figure out how to use our crew 'power'. That's a whole different part of the game. Also, I put $2B in our bank so we had money. Probably should use that sometime...

 

5) The max turns you can have waiting is 1500. If you have 1500 turns, USE THEM so you can get more!

[Hlm 10]

Before the next round begins we should get a plan together. A basic list of how to maximize our resources.

[brownsfan019 17]

Guys,

I need your help building a nuke map (see screenshot). What I want to track is what you get for nuking - recruits and/or $.

 

I ramped up my level from the beginning and had NO IDEA some nukes give you recruits (which I desperately need). I thought you just got smaller amounts of cash, so I've been nuking China like crazy! :o

 

Send me a PM or post here what you get when you nuke something - how many recruits and/or cash. Doesn't have to be exact, just a good estimate.
