build guild's, hit eb's, buy allies to stay at "max plunder" around the 1-2 bil for your size(bigger you get more allies worth more you need) annnd yea that should cover it
Get pro pack. Find a clan that markets itself as "B2B EB", this basically defines it as a constant Epic battle clan. Do quests if you have nothing to do, they have a slight chance of gaining a crystal when masters Which you can use for EB- ASK CLAN CHAT BEFORE USING. Have clan wars and EB as your main source of income. Constantly attacking people through the battle rooster may have high extent of consequence. GET ALLIES. when starting the game, don't consider hybridizing or going hansel. You can easily change your build as you progress.
Best tip is spend money to buy nobs like lb players cry a lot on forums and to mods then email thinkingape saying that it's this game is not fair!! That's the best way to grow quick
Lots of bad advice . Be active join a clan get talking to your clan mates look for a b2b ambush or the forgotten ones clan they are best for early growth . The best thing to do and the best aspect of this game is make some friends and have some fun with them .
Hah. Find a clan to let you in and hit HTE phase. You'll be supreme rich for your size. Use the money from volley for seals.
Actual best advice for a new player is drop all your buildings, put up L1 guild and L1 workshop, so your stats should be 400/200/150/150. Find a clan doing origins and hit pot phases hard, doing one damage each but using tons of pots. You'll make billion each EB, it will be boring, but after you reach desired amount start building. I'd suggest doing until you at least low land complete. Do not build thinking you'll make more from this, the stronger you are, the less you'll make this particular way. Good luck.
