Everyone will probably tell you to build forges, but my advice is to build war cathedrals and buy allies for max plunder. After you do that look for a clan with an osf and you will grow faster.
Build forges amd work on lc also ditch the guild build a lvl 3 def tower. Once lc and you have about 2 bil in allies covert forges to subs one at a time so that u can lvl 3 them as soon as they are built. Also begging to be hired doesn't work it just pisses people off and don't ask to be vollyed if you cost 1. Who gives a damn billion cause it's not gonna happen
Both morons 1. Ule be outta tutorial, dump ALL troops on quests. Waest spies BUT win, 2. Go on world chat, tell them your new and want a 500-600 mill volley and u know what to do, 3. once the volleys done u should have about 50-70Mill 4. Dump troops again and watch world chat for players like you who just reset or want a volley, volley these players and stop around wherever u can, DON'T GET STUCK WITH THE ALLIE! 5. Do this till about 300-500 mill,BANK 150 mill in allies first! Then destroy your buildings and build a tier 2 building of choice (doesn't matter) level then to lvl 3 them buy a land, an repeat till outta cash 6. Now! Join a clan subclan of a top 50 clan! Bank money and max plunder! (the ammount of money made an attack that does not increse anymore after buying a certian amount of moneys worth in allies) Make sure they have an osf! Hit the osf till land about 17-19, 6. At this point! You will want to start converting to lvl 3 guilds! Just under 80M I presume... Keep 1 tier 2 buidling and all lvl 3 guilds! This is an optimized lc build! Max plunder and hot away at those osfs!
