Topic: [96264] Tips for GGE

[-96264] Barnacleez (US1) [None] :: Sept. 9, 2013, 11:07 a.m.
In GGE, there are some players who need tips on playing.

Important tips:

1. Stay active by logging on at least every other day. You get daily bonuses and good stuff for doing this.
- Try to log on for at least 10 min. if not more each time.
- Don't leave it on all your servers every day. You'll still be attacked.
- Even if you don't log out before you leave the page, you'll still be qualified as offline.

2. Use multiple waves. You'll take on defenders on first wave, and the other waves are secondary waves.
All waves should be as strong as possible!

Strong troops: Two-Handed Sword or higher.
Medium troops: Crossbowman- Heavy Crossbowman
Weak troops: Swordsman- Maceman
Very weak troops: Anything below Swordsman.
Ultra-weak: Archers!

3. Use heavy defensive troops first, then go down, down, down, until you reach Swordsman.

4. Create a resource trade between your main and your outpost. Let's say you have a 6 Food 2 Stone OP like me. I set up a Wood from main to OP, and food comes in from the OP. Both transport stone to each other.

If anything needs to be added to this list, PM me and I'll add it.

Agree with 1, but don't quite understand the 'don't leave it on all your servers every day' bi.
Not completely convinced about 2. If anything, it should be first wave tool clearing. Why do you need it to get gradually weaker? If its a proper attack you are planning, every wave should be pretty full.
If you have access to the heavy troops, you shouldn't have anything weaker at all. The troops in each wave is all wrong. You need to assume the defender is online and able to change their defences. If you have 2 handed swordsmen in the 1st wave, the defender can easily slaughter your troops with melee defence, and the next wave will be hit hard with the ranged defence. You say go 'down, down down until you reach swordsmen. Well, actually you shouldn't, stick with 100% of your strongest recruitable melee and ranged troops.
4 Is fairly obvious.

Hey 123guy I think Barnacleez was trying to message others that even if you stay online by a lot at the server youll still get attacked lol only my idea :D.

I agree with 123Guy. All of your waves should be powerfull. But keep troops like maruaders (spelling?) and pyromaniacs at the end. So they don't get killed.

Tip: there is one type of attack. But, 2 types of defense. a defence against ranged units, or against melee. If your attackers are all melee melle defenders with thraught them.
And I generally put macemen and crossbowmen at the first round so as to wear up or finish off the oponent, them my good stronger troops finish them off. Romans use4d that tactic, then at the back (like Romans) I have any leftover units.
