Swabia's guide to war - Basics

Distance made a pretty good war guide, but none of the noobs I've pounded lately have read it. I thought I'd gloss over the BASICS so you have a place to start.

Basically if you want to defend yourself (or your clan) from bullies like me you have a couple options:

1) The attack button- use some pots too on your attack. Fighting real opponents is tax free and those who carry large $$ in allies pay great. Who cares if you pay 20m a hit to spank a guy if he pays 44m a hit per win? If your opponent is too strong weaken them up first with a bigger player or with successful assassinations.

Keep in mind that stats are calculated thus:
Your current attack value based on troops left times your achievement bonuses plus your pots plus a portion of your allies stats ranked against your opponents defense done the same way.

2) spies-
A) Stealing is great if you've actually stripped or partially stripped a player. That's the only way to assure you're taking $$ from them. The more money they have up the more you steal per hit (also a %) don't steal me for days without stripping or you're only burning a minimum of pots. Steal actions use more spies than assassinates or Scouts.

B) scouts- Just a big fact here kids, if you scout me 10x you burn 0 pots. It costs me nothing except wasted potential income from spies or spies I would have used on you. Assassinate me instead so you burn some pots. Don't be silly and waste our time.

C) assassinates- this is the best option for pot burn. Even if your opponent is way stronger than you you can dial in your pots on the attack side to be sure to burn all 9 of theirs.

Ok, a few other things to keep in mind that I'll reiterate from my previous posts on distance's thread.

1) sustain attack and spy actions when burning pots. It's hard for people to maintain a double pot load. It will make it easier once you break either spy or attack side.

2) If you strip and fail try again every 6 hours. No one can withstand that unless they're a super-pro. If they are you wouldn't be warring them anyhow.

3) Get multiple players from different continents on them. It makes it harder for them to sustain. I've noticed that once we had to go a week on a guy before we broke him, but now I see perhaps 3 players take a guy down in days. This was once a very difficult feat when spies stole 10x more than they do now. This is why the vets say KaW isn't what it once was.

4) let's get this out of the way now... trolling my guide gets you my attention. Maybe I'll find you funny. Maybe I'll buy someone a clan if they farm you for a week. Make sure you make it worth it if you wanna play funny guy.

 

Unicorn, this is a basics guide.... You may want to read the longer version that Distance wrote where many long time players added additional info on how to survive that sort of thing.

For my first year of play I was at constant war all but 4 weeks. Look at my losses and compare them to your local osf and you'll see I'm not fooling around here.

 

Lol, nice Wilson...

Just saying I miss real war. I fought Fox Alliance and NAG with you and nothing is left that wants a piece of us.

I think the 2 week blackout of EB and war system each year suggestion I made to Devs should be instituted so clans like PE and ZiG or Wftt could have their way with people and build up a war community again.

 

Wilson is right. I am an unpaid account and I beat on people who paid for stats. It's silly.
