Online War Game to Pass Some Time

[Hlm 10]

Some hints/ideas/strategies.

• Use first 4000 turns on level (third option under Raise Funds).
  
• Recruit around 10k from Terrorist Base and then hit battlefield to get 1 billion to nuke.
  
• Always keep your Training and Home Leave up for Recruits Strength.
  
• Level to 10k ASAP (should be hit within a few days). Level can NOT be lost and having the ability to nuke up is HUGE when attacked.
  
• Nuke everyday until you get 500k in recruits. After reaching 500k use battlefield.
  
• Don't hit battlefield until those two items have been completed.
  
• Only use battlefield for money. Nuke to get recruits (if sniped).
  
• Try to only use battlefield when there are less than 350 people online.
  
• Towards the end of the round if you need the battlefield and there are many online don't get greedy. Jump in for one or two hits and then exit. The turns you lose for having to reenter will be far less than if you lose 20k in recruits.
  
• Remember, top 50 equals target for supps on their way up.
  
• Try staying right under top 50 until last day (supps can't hit free players on last day).
  
• DON'T HOLD MONEY. EARN IT and SPEND IT.
  
• If you don't wish to be in top 50 right away then spend money on "Request Back-Up". You can then transfer it to combos on last day.
  
• If attacked, try talking to the individual first and research crew.
  
• Never give someone the ability to take vengeance unless you are sure.
  
• If you are actively getting attacked put your troops into the low risk battlefield right away. This will drop your net worth quickly and hopefully out of the attackers range. Of course the success of this method depends on if the attacker will walk away or wait for you.

If you use firefox and are on your computer during the day, this is the easiest way to stay "up to date" with Combat Grounds activity.

 

1) Install the following plugin: http://check4change.mozdev.org/

 

2) Under Tools/Add-ons change the settings as desired.

 

3) Go to "Headquarters" on the CG Website and highlight the text from "Members" down to "Log Out". If you only want to watch for if you get hit your a message, you can just highlight those items.

 

4) Right click and select check4change and choose the desired time.

 

5) Open another tab in firefox at the CG Website. This will be the one you work with.

 

What happens:

Every time something changes, the tab/window/taskbar will blink. Click on the first tab to stop the blinking/highlighting and to see what has changed. Then use the second tab to check the changed item. You want to use the second tab because if you leave the headquarters on the first tab you will have to re-highlight and start the process again.

 

Note: After you read the changed item you must return to the first tab and hit "refresh". If you do not do this it will blink again when the time passes because the current "(1)" will be turning to a "(0)". If you have it set to 15 seconds there is a good chance it will have already detected the change and you will just have to click the tab to give it focus.

 

This is really helpful to dodge attacks in real time by either A)jumping in the low risk battlefield or B)e-mail the individual (works many times). If you want to get fancy you could make separate tabs for "Attack Log", "Mail Center", and "Crew Board".

This add-on is also very helpful in keeping up to date with other sites.

NEXT ROUND UPDATE (ROUND 115)

 

I am going to just relax a bit next round and help out any guys here that want to learn how to play the game better.

 

So, next round I will create a crew and all from TL are welcome to join. The only stipulation is that you listen to the ideas myself and any of the other experienced players say to do.

 

As of now, it looks like we have SEVEN players from TL that could fill a crew. Just 3 more and we have a full crew of 10!

 

 

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

 

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ROUND FOR ANYONE TO JOIN THAT HAS BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT. CLICK HERE TO SIGNUP NOW AND JUST START PLAYING WITH THE SOFTWARE TILL THE NEXT ROUND.

New round starts after 8pm EST tonight.

 

If there's enough interest, I'll be more than happy to help all the new members from TL out for the round and show you the ropes.

 

Message me here or on the game if you want to join.

 

The game is simple, yet it seems to escape some on how to play. We have enough guys from TL around to help and get a good crew together.

 

To get started, follow these steps:

 

1)

Just a heads up for anyone that may have missed the announcement about next round:

 

Christmas Special Event

 

Dear Combatants,

 

To celebrate Christmas this year, we decided:

 

- To give extra turns to all of you: all players will start the round with 10,000 free turns.

- The winner of round 137 will receive a very unique medal: Most Valuable Player 2008. Come prove that you are the 2008 overall champ and inspire everyone's respect, if not fear.

- We're going to reward the top free player a medal as well.

- We will double the points received by the top players and the leaders of the top crews.

- The maximum number of players per crew will be increased to 15 so you can gather more friends around you.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Best Regards,

The Combat Grounds Team
