Chapter 3: Leveling and Your Base

Leveling your Base to its highest potential is key to getting to the Fortress in the center of the world and ultimately winning the server. There are several things that will help you to do this, but these techniques will really come into play as your alliance starts to gain enough POI bonuses to where you no longer need harvesters in your base. For the time being though, knowing how to pick the right targets to attack will help you base grow.

Choosing the Right Targets:

We all want to grow fast and get a strong account. This is fun and motivating for ourselves but also imperative for your alliance to be powerful and successful. Since the alliance is the sum of the 50 players. Therefore I want to stress some simple guidelines.

Picking the best target means you have to look around pretty good and also do some good simming. Of course your target depends on availability and goal. The principle of fast growth is quite simple. Kill as many high level targets that you can with as few CP and RT as possible. Because this way you can kill more and therefore get more resources, credits and research points. Easy, isn’t it?

Farming:

By far the best and fastest way for personal growth is killing the right outposts in the right way. We call this farming.

1. Try to find 1-shots (this will save CP and RT which means you can attack more. I cannot stress this importance enough!

2. If no 1-shots are available find a 2-shot close by where you destroy the Defense Facility and (most) defences on the first run. This will be a reasonably good kill since you don’t use to much CP and/or RT. Still, to many 2-shots will set you back in the long run though.

3. If none of the above is available don’t attack if you don’t have to. Wait and try again later. Of course this also depends on the time you have and if your RT and CP are full or not. Otherwise it’s a waste also.

Having Stronger units will also help Your Base be able to more easily take out Camps, Outposts, and Bases.
