  1. That's probably why I said yet...
     
  2. Colorful! :mrgreen:
     
  3. I like the pretty colors now 
     
  4. I've tried to colour co ordinate it... Not very successfully!
     
  5. i like the new colors.

    i really like the first section. that is exactly the sort of thing a newb needs to get off the ground.
     
  6. Bump for new clan, teaching newbies
     
  7. A lot better than your other threads. Good job. I would say the part on max plunder needs a little more detail including where to check plunder bonus from allies.
    Also tfo is a good epic to learn on as it features every action at a level a volleyed build should successfully hit on every stage.

    But as a basic guide not bad. Your only difficulty will be getting brand new players to read it.
    Still the job of clans to chase every new player and offer help and support, the more that do so the better for kaw.
     
  8. Well done ICM :)
     
  9. Thanks for the feedback dark, I'll add that as soon as I can :)
     
  10. I can't wait to read the attack build section. There are many threads about hansels, but I can't find one about attacks.
     
  11. I was criticizing you on your other thread but this one was great! :)

    A lot of effort and time is shown in your Guide!
     
  12. When saying about chat features I'd also add a small description of spam and tou and what mods are.
    When looking for a first clan looking, at clan events is also a good option to find a current active clan.
    Also what type of player they want to be is essential to what builds they choose a war build system or osw will influence choice over an eb build and is essential to plan a build from day one. Most players tend to eb until they are at least t3 though its not the only way. End of eb bonus for hansels is an obvious point to make.

    Also the "farmer" combatant may be a better term is most probably more suitable to a spy build but does dictate game style and build. And has consequences. Fun usually.

    Attacking ebs. Three types of primary options dependant on time. Skimming. Highest earning method only for those with the time to offload 2 attack and 3 spy actions every five minutes keeping troops at max to keep max plunder every hit.
    For those with less time a half full offload is preferable. Offload half your troops regen and repeat.
    Full offload least profitable as your troops diminishes so does the gold you earn.

    Hitting troops from other players earns more than ebs but carries risk. They hit back. As does stealing.
    What you get per attack and steal is not what your opponent loses. Your not hurting them that much hitting them a few times. Don't cry it's a war game. Fight people. It's fun.

    Not leaving links on other players walls if farmed is essential. Permanent links destroy some gamers development more than anything. Name changes don't break the links, If they are farmed. Hit back. If in a clan ask admin for help if you cannot hit back, then a decent clan will support them.

    It is worth saying allies make up to 70% of plunder as well as improving bfa. As such essential. Never argue over a ally ( no1 dumb cause of farming early in game )they are a commodity that earn profit as such the more you sell the better. More gold to buy better with.

    Selecting allies is easy when more advanced than just using the allies list and first option they have for allies is volley wc posts even if only for a few hundred mill to start off it still ads profit.
    Buying junk allies ie 10k and seeing who buys them back then buying the player that brought them back is a good move for finding smaller active allies to buy. ( further up the road but may as well add it in. Price ranges and stats there are very good forums out there already)
    If your following this up with a more advanced guide let me know and ill be glad to put a bit of input in.
    Good to see the effort you put into this forum. Hope some find and use it.
    Good luck with it. Hope your future posts are similar to this.
    And yes there is way more to it than this. But some of that is the fun finding out as you play. And learning from better players. I know I'm still learning everyday on this and have a lot of respect for some players.
