I'll be posting some empire advice here once a week. Here's my first one:
1.Always recruit troops 1 at a time, and ask for help. This way you can get 10 troops instead of 6 for the same price and time.

can other people post advice? if so then here's mine:
1.when mass attacking don't spy because if you get caught then they will expect you coming.
2.when building resource buildings only do 100% capacity+1. then you will have more space to build decorations which makes your production even higher.
hope this helped

Anthony it is "Coolman's Cool Advice Column" it says nothing in the title about Anthony's advice or Coolman and others, so and I could be wrong but I don't think he had in mind others putting in their 2 cents.

Coolman, this has been done before but I guess there is room for your take. But I was hoping it would be more of a Dear Abby type, where we could ask for advice. Like here would be an example:
Dear Coolman,
We have this player in our alliance that keeps asking for help non-stop. I think he is recruiting troops 1 at a time, and that button to help keeps popping up every time I'm trying to do something. I try to ignore it but it's like a guilt trip on us not to click it because it means we are not team players. I find it annoying though and I am the leader and am about to kick him out because he might be advising others to do it also. What should I do?
Annoyed to no end.

Lol, yeah. "Always" may be putting it strongly. I go in for the occasional 1x1 super feast doubling insanity, but sometimes I just don't have time to do a recruitment click every 2 seconds for six hours straight.

I have players like that in my alliance to, and it is your duty as your fellow alliance member to help him. I mean your saying your going to let the guy lose out on a 66% increase in troops? I would be mad if I was hi, because one expects to have help in an alliance, its a common courtesy. How would you like it if they refused to help you.Coolman, this has been done before but I guess there is room for your take.

Coolman I never click on it for myself. I don't like it but I do it for my mates. But if one did it 1 at a time I would tell him to stop.

Dear coolman
I've been meaning to join a gym to help me lose those last 10 pounds when I had a thought: Where does the weight go when I lose it?

I guess your right, you don't recruit troops for yourself after all then (according to you).Coolman I never click on it for myself. I don't like it but I do it for my mates. But if one did it 1 at a time I would tell him to stop.

I get what you mean, but I belive your math is flawed. Look at it this way:
1. Ignoring helping on the first one, it could go from 5 troops to 10. That is doubled, or a 100% increase. The way that you are saying it, 66% would be about 2/3 of 10, which is about 6, which just proved everything that I am saying wrong. On second thought, you math is valid, asuming that you rounded the 6.66 troops to 6, becuase 2/3 of a soilder would be very messy, not to mention decreasing their ability to fight.

Tip number 2:
When you start attacking rbcs in other kingdoms, you will start to need more tools. To do this don't strain yourself making a bunch on that one castle. Instead make tools in your green castles and ops, and ship them to the outer worlds instead.

This is bad advice.

lol I realized it the moment I came to know how this works. But I gave up because I lost so many rubies, that would be atleast 1K rubies till now
So, I highly recommened NO to this unless you see it atleast for 5 secs before clicking to make sure you click the right thing.See? Its easy to give advice but not easy to follow it
