You must mean something else since Acropolis is +15% defender health and -20% defender spawn time.

Ohhh, oh ok nm. Yea that's pretty good then. I didn't pick it though because I assume there will always be someone a higher TH to steal your loot no matter how scary your defenders are.

It might be if you have a 2nd device. When I installed it on my phone then tablet, I had the option to load or overwrite the existing village when I linked the 2nd device to my google account.

Edit: maybe uninstalling, clearing app data, reinstalling might get you to the same option?

Really interested to see how many buildings people are connecting, I'm struggling to get them all. Do you get a bonus for every road that's connected to a building or for every building that's connected to a road? So better two have two houses on a road than a barracks? Also how does the 10% bonus work? How does a house benefit? Work time?

My base isn't particularly defense optimized, but I managed to get all buildings except one:



It's bonus for every building so better to have the two houses.

This is the # to maximize:

I managed to get every building connected. But my TH is way off to the side and defensively its not even remotely optimal. Curious to see how they balance wonder/th placement and getting bonuses.

I copied this from someone else in the goon Alliance, but seems to work pretty well for an Iron Age base.

Has every building but the catapult connected to roads. I may modify it a bit to get my town hall further from the defenses for easier free peace treaties.

Uninstalling, clearing data and reinstalling didn't work. I don't have a second device, and I'm trying to go through Bluestacks on my PC but I'm having a pain of a time even getting it to run properly. :(

Update: Got it running on Bluestacks, now I'm just trying to poopsock and crownrush my way to getting it to ask if I want to link to my Google account. Is that when you hit Iron Age? I can't remember.

Oh, duh. I just tried that, and it asks me if I want to load the game I want to overwrite, I click no, and it kicks me back out without saving or overwriting it.

Update: Going to try disconnecting through https://plus.google.com/apps , I read that as a similar fix for Clash. Will report back if/when I'm able to properly switch over.

I tried copying one of the layouts pictured on this page but the game refuses to let me do certain things. I'll be going to lay down a 10 section wall and when I drag and drop there will just be one spot out of the 10 that doesn't have a wall. Then it wont let me fill in the gap with a wall. So I can't even enclose my buildings.

Wait... can you have a wall in between the road and have it still count as touching the road?

Nope. Those aren't getting the bonus.


Map editor sucks with walls and roads. If it won't let you place stuff down via dragging, put them somewhere else then drag them one at a time into the gaps. It will glitch graphically, but that will clear up on restarting the app.

2d for classical, whoop.

What army type are you guys using for Iron? It seems like most things don't have the HP to survive even without walls. I've had some success going 4 horsemen, rest archers, but it's not great.

My best mix so far has been 2 war horse, 6 archers, 20 solder. merc horse archers. However I am Roman, so if you are something else you might want less solders and more of what ever your civ unit is.

As a note this mix gets me the loot most of the time, however I still don't often kill all the defenses if I am fighting even a moderately upgraded classical.

I'm currently using 5 heavy horses, 10 each longbowmen and soldiers (:britain:). Spawn in the riders as close to the catapult as reasonably possible (don't bother attacking if they have a ballista), follow up with soldiers once the catapult is engaged, spawn in bowmen once defenders have spawned. Send in mercs if you think you need that extra oomph. Also always look for idiots who leave a tiny speck of the inside of their bases uncovered, giving you the ability to avoid the walls. I usually lose most of the soldiers unless I'm up against someone who has literally put their cat in charge of defenses, but the riders and bowmen usually survive, and soldiers are cheap.
