When you first log on, you are level 1. Soon, you could be level 15 with people attacking you. What's the best way to start?

- Well, here are some BAD starter options:
- Blow rubies on noob alliance at level 5-7. Just join one, even if you are level 5-7.
- Buying a lot of starter troops
- You honestly don't need any. the game provides you with some starter ones.

- Here are some ones that work for me:
- Not buying any non-required troops until at least level 8
- Building dwellings- after all, it's how you get your coins.

BAD SITUATIONS:
- If you get attacked before you become level 9, you're screwed.
- If you get attacked and cannot afford any troops
(First attempt- level 14- Chevalier- 0 honor- 1 ruby- 4 coins)

Check in for updates.

Noob common mistakes:
- Starting alliances at level 5
- You can join one. Most alliances have restrictions, but some will accept level 5's.
- Using a name such as Bob2
- IF THERE IS A GUY NAMED BOB ALREADY ON THERE, YOU WILL LIKELY BE BANNED.

Dark Leviathan, many of its members cannot attack tonight. In many respects, some have been attacking castles, where we are getting threatened by another alliances, and even the leader gets attacked. It is unfair for the leader but understandable that the leader is unhappy and has to make an informed decision. So, for those new to the game, we need to know, so I can pass this on to the others. OK! So, how do we know which castles can we attack, and how do we know which to stay away from? Also, in another world, who can we attack and who do we stay away from? I would like any feedback I can get, so I have something to report back to our alliance. We get so many reports, and some us are being attacked. Another issue, I would like to know is how someone gets past our city guards, undetected, and burn the castle. Who are the resistance? Who are the Barbarians? Why are there so many Nomads, and how can they be attacked? Different types of Nomads? Here is just a few castles we've gotten messages from: Castle Wussie, Psycho, and not sure of the rest, of these alliances. Another thing is defending our alliances, if the alliances are attacking one of our alliances, we don't know what's provoking another alliances, except that we are attacking one alliance but don't know who they belong to. Also, is using the seeking enemies for honor any good? Some of us could get ousted from the game. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely NoblemanLee22.
