poo poo man. I'm sitting on 150k credits and all my poo poo is upgraded, with a day and a half on the next HQ upgrade. I'd give it to goons but I can't, so I'm stuck waiting for some pubbies to take all my money. :saddowns:

Are there any suggested Base layouts? I have no clue where I should set up which building/turret/walls.

If you are just starting out, focus on doing the missions. They pay well so you can upgrade stuff fast. Its hard to turn in a profit in PVP right now, unless you are swimming in credits for some reason.

The most effective it seems is the corner base with walls around your turrets with an inner courtyard with whatever you value most.

If its anything like clash, then you can request troops from guild mates and maybe war against others.

There is a small buffer zone strip between the out of bounds and where you can put buildings, its 1 wide. Maybe the red zone extends to there though.

Just bought a third droid with google play credits from surveys. Feels good, man.

I love when people attack me. Revenges are very lucrative. I have a feeling that there are a lot of inactive level 2 and 3 players.

It's also reassuring that people build terrible bases in this game too. The edges of the map are not walls.

I think the logic for edge of the map bases is to force more of your opponents units into turret range. If that works or not is up for debate. With CoC, this could be used to make traps much more dangerous but that doesn't apply here.

Thanks for the accept, wasn't sure it had sent. So it's better to protect your depots I guess, seeing as they house way more resources than the hq, though unprotected hq is easy win.

Are medals actually pointless? I've noticed that I see more resources available in my opponent's bases as I've climbed up in medal count. I'm at 635 now and I just cleaned out a base that had 85k credits and 45k alloy. I'm HQ level 5. Seems like it might be a combination of HQ level and medals that determine what bases you see.

Have any of you Imperials seen more effective attacks than Chewie + Wookies + Pathfinders (think Endor commando with a pistol) on cleanup?

Also for you Imperial fascists, what Rebel base layouts and turret combinations are toughest to take down?

I skip any rebel base that is able to push out a ton of firepower on my clumps of troops. Also 2-3 mortars are scarier than non-mortars. Honestly I probably could be cracking these bases at a profit but I'd rather just move on to the easier stuff. I'm current HQ3 about to hit HQ4.

Yeah medals seem to determine who you can attack to some degree. I'm finally finding 3-4k gold(most needed resource right now) bases.

Given that pretty much everything in this game is more or less a direct copy of CoC it's safe to assume that medals are the equivalent of trophies and thus are how you are matched up in PvP. So low trophies means lots of lowbie bases without much loot. If you haven't played CoC there are generally some sweet spots for each Town Hall level in terms of number of trophies.

I'm still at a lower level and usually take the 1:1 Credits spent to earned to convert it into an alloy mining experience.
Alloy is used for most building so I'm farming my way to a new "town hall" since I can't do anything yet again due to my TH.


This game seems like a gimped CoC where each upgrade is only a tiny increment and your TH upgrades don't get you very far.

I think the biggest kick in the nuts that sticks with me is building the research center.. then I'm pretty sure I couldn't reserch anyting until I upgraded my Barraks to lvl3 or Research till level 2.. I mean come on man.. let me do something.

no. match making has nothing to do with your medal count. match making is based on your base rating (next to your medal count) so quite frankly i don't grasp why they even have medals in this game. i read a devpost on the official forums that match making is based on your base rating and i also haven't noticed any difference between ~30 medals and ~400 medals raiding so yeah.
