Topic: [81890] Should I wait or attack?

[-81890] Eagle Pride [None] :: Dec. 19, 2012, 8:23 p.m.
Ok, new guy here and working through the beginning parts of the game. I didnt see this question after a little looking, so hope i'm not rehashing an old thread. Anyway, what benefit would it be for me to wait before attacking another castle/outpost? I've just started and moving ahead quick (I think) and have a couple castles nearby that are only a few levels above me. I've bought some rubies which helped speed things up, but didnt know if I should wait the whole 6 days of "protection" or just go all-out :) Thoughts?

Wait the whole six days of protection.What level are you?

[1445676] Eagle Pride [None] :: Dec. 19, 2012, 9:16 p.m.
lvl 9, almost 10. have a couple guys around me that are not protected and levels 11-12 or so. I have 30k rubies so figure i can make a modest attack army. Would the reward if i won outweigh the risk of coming off protection so soon?

Take advantage of the 6 days of protection to really build up and get strong.

take advantage or whatever i didnt and i turned out fine

Thanks guys. I guess next step is to get into an alliance. I think I'm about to lose out on a lot of sleep now that I found this game lol

if your confident that you can defeat the enemy player, then attack them first as waiting will allow them to get stronger. Also this puts you in a quick and early position of strength over surrounding players. You can leval up at the same speed without the protection.

I could give you a tutorial, but I dont have a USA account. Lemme tell you the game is boring for the first 15ish lvls......

To join another world click on the 'county link'. Pick your country and then choose the worlds.

For alliances, there is a meeting hand icon in game. Click on it and it will give you some small/big alliances near by. Gamers have to choose to accept you to their alliance or offer you membership.
