When you make the second entry and the debits and credits balance, and you blow them to hell.
Royal Revolt 2 is a freemium strategy / tower defense / base building game for ios and android. You build up your castle, research stronger troops, spells, towers and traps. Gold is gained by raiding other players, and also passively through your taverns. In order to raid your army needs food, which comes from your farms. It's sort of a mix between clash of clans clones, a tower defense, and an unabashed cash grab. I have no idea what you are revolting against, I never played the first one.



Your character (or Hero) has three primary skills.

Health: Your character's available health points (HP).
Damage: The amount of melee damage your character can deal. Your hero deals normal damage.
Leadership: Determines the starting morale as well as the rate at which your morale bar will fill during battle.
There are secondary skills as well

Shields against certain damage types (e.g. ice, fire).
Damage of a certain type (e.g. ice, fire). Only found on weapons and gauntlets.
Boost to leadership.
Boost to "Scream": Allowing you to call your troops more often.
Boost to walking speed. Only found on boots.
Boost to percent of gold increase when attacking.
Health/damage/leadership may also be found as secondary statistics.

Also dress up


Basic strategy:



The game has 5 damage types:

Blunt: Strong vs Buildings
Ice: Strong vs Pyromancers, Paladins, Gargoyles, Werewolves, Mortars Blockades Also slows, typically low damage, but the slowing effect is powerful.
Fire: Strong vs cannons, Mummies, Arbalesters, Mortars, Barricades.
Normal: Strong vs Paladins, Barricades and Blockades.
Piercing: Strong vs the Ogre
Poison: Strong vs Paladins, and Arbalesters, and the King. Poison deals stacking damage over time, which means even once you get out of the poison you'll still take a few seconds of damage. Most of my failed attacks are due to poison.

You want something to help you kill towers. Ogre and Cannons can hit all towers, paladins can hit all towers except firebolt towers.

Generally I roll with a tanky unit, either palading, or Ogres, some kind of ranged unit (frosters, or arbalesters, especially boosted) and
Mummies. Mummies have the unique ability to spawn right next to you, rather than at your tent.



Spells can assist you, especially in dealing with buildings or large amounts of enemy troops:
The spells work in a somewhat confusing way, any spell that has a duration, will start doing it's damage to anything it touches and continue doing so until the spell ends. So if you start a spell you can run around, and everything you touch with it will take some damage. The things you touch first will take the most damage, obviously.




You'll also want to build up your defenses, to protect your gold and trophies from being taken from you by other revolting kings.



Did I say cash grab?
There's regular gold, your generic currency for upgrading buildings, units, spells, traps, researching etc..
Gems are your generic "super" currency, which can buy anything, and some things require gems, earn from generic achievement type quests, or buy with real money.
Pearls you gain from the use of gems, and there is no other way to get them (you can't even buy them).
Vouchers are gained from "friend codes" as well as in game quests.
There's also the in alliance currency, given when players donate gold to the alliance, used for elite boosts.

Do you want to play with Goons?
I created ugievarcherstoo for goons, by goons, and force leveled up the alliance some currently the alliance is open. If we max out on players or other goon clans form, I'll post them here.

Apparently friend codes expire in 100 hours. Post to request one, and someone can generate one for you to get some kind of starting bonus.
to enter a friend code follow this little steps:
► Click on Social Icon or at the shining banner above in the main menu
► Click on "Friends" card
► Then on "Invite Friends" button
► Then on the Voucher Bazaar just click on the square button that ask "Enter here the code"
► As last enter the code of your friend to get 150 vouchers

If you're interested in playing, please use the last friend code posted in the thread, then post your friend code.

When you make the second entry and the debits and credits balance, and you blow them to hell.
FAQ:
What do I do, how do I move my guy?

Basically just put your finger on the screen, and your king will follow it around. You will swing constantly, attacking whatever is nearest. If you tap a building or unit you will focus on that as opposed to other things in range.

How do I use spells?

Tap the spell, and it will be cast, all spells are essentially aoe based on the kings location.

How do I summon troops?

Tap them, each troop type takes up a certain number of "bars" of leadership, your leadership score determines how quickly you generate more leadership.

How do I join the alliance?

Build your alliance tower, and you can join the alliance.

How can I get gems without handing over any money?

Click on tapjoy, download apps, run them for 30-120 seconds, delete, free gems. If you're on a windows phone, I think you are out of luck.

War Seasons consists of number of "wars" or we'll call them battles. Each battle takes about 23.5 hours, and can consist of you attacking or defending a hex. The winner, the alliance with the most skulls after 24 hours controls the hex. Possible skulls are based on your trophy count and level vs the other player, and how far you get in to their base gives you a percentage of available skulls.



Skull result for attacks on cut ya cut ya (from my perspective):



Rewards I've earned so far this war, rewards I could earn:



Standings after about 20 hours in our first war



General quick tips:
If you wait to collect chests until your silo is full of food, you will only get gold/gems/pearls/equipment. If you have both your treasure chamber and silo full, you can only get pearls/gems/equipment.

Feel free to rush your throne room. There is no penalty for having a higher level throne room or lower level throne room than a target

Don't level up everything indiscriminately, some spells and troops are only good for a while.

A little experimenting with the voucher codes shows you can only add 1 persons voucher code, but you can give your voucher code to lots of people, so it's much like a multi level marketing campaign. Ultimately our lower level guys should be giving out the vouchers, so only use mine as a last restor.

I added you "owninator" to my friends list, once you complete some quests, build the alliance tower, and you can join ugievarcherstoo, you'll get some bonus gold when you raid, plus someone to chat with. And I think we'll be participating in the next war season.

If you're new don't feel obligated to donate to the alliance, I can handle that. If you're dead set on buying gems, wait for a sale, they are frequent, and often quite generous (+100% gems often).

Once we have a core of players and people are leveled up a bit we can grind up the alliance level some.

Yes.

I specifically said to get someone else's code - because I'm high level already. You can enter 1 person's code, you can have up to 20 people using your code.

If it makes you feel better I spent 20 bucks on gems to level up the alliance, so it's not like getting a few vouchers I'm coming out ahead.

I'm hoping we'll switch to a more general goon model, the newest join will use the latest person's code (at this point yours):

So the current war season "base boosts" or however you want to think about it:

Turbo paladin, accursed tower. Accordingly I've boosted paladins as well, making them fast and heal each hit. I highly recommend you get on and try just ramming paladins into everything, they work hilariously well.

Probably a moment to reflect on flare games game philosophy. They aren't trying to make a game that's particularly balanced, rather they make broken stuff available to everyone, and its up to you to exploit it.

This game is a lot of fun for quick breaks. Its fast and doesn't require a lot of planning on the attacks. I've never played a tower defense game before so designing a good path is pretty interesting, I just wish there were replays so I could see what people did.

Also use paladins right now while they are turbo-boosted, i'll spawn 3 or 4 and just run behind them, they don't die easily and heal themselves on hits.

As for the wars, imo when you are just starting attack the lowest bases to guarantee yourself max skulls on at least 3 of them, then use your other attacks to attempt higher bases or just hit the same ones for the bonus skulls at the end.

It's an extremely lovely "working as intended", especially now that all scrolls cost gems. I find that I've gotten used enough to it that I never hit it by accident anymore unless I am in some super awkward position in bed or something.

Honestly if I could change one thing about the game it'd probably be that. At least you can just get gems by downloading, running and deleting apps via tapjoy, but it's still super obnoxious.

Sanders asked me to test his defenses:



This is his current set up. It's pretty good, he has an early kill zone set up, with a barrier backed up by fire arrow towers, so an enemy king may get hit by as many as 4 towers at once.

The kill zone is a bit early, because the wave is actually not hitting the king right as he hits the towers. Ideally some tank unit is hopping over the initial barrier to keep the king from hitting the barricade/towers easily, while ranged units shelter behind it, stalling and doing DPS.

I'd consider changing your pathing line up to a zig zag, like the one in the OP, and switch your unit selection up a bit.

My waves are basically 1 paladin + 1 froster + 1 arbelester + 1 pyro +1 archer + 1 mortar + 1 archer + swordsmen to fill, in that order of priority, based on how much room I have. I think this set up leverages the existing dps and stall of towers and barricades the best.

So for Slanders I'd switch up the waves, don't worry about having ogres, try to get your paladin + froster + arbelester in each wave. Then focus on upgrading the first 5 waves (as you upgrade your gate and your path gets longer, the first waves will spawn multiple times. Therefore your very first wave should always be your highest level, as it will always spawn twice) and those core troops (especially paladins/arbelesters) since those tend to be the ones we boost as well.

Long term focus on switching to mostly firebolt/poison/death towers as they become available.

Also be realistic. If people with 1000 trophies above you are hitting your base during wars, there's not much you can do. I beat your base without summoning any troops whatsoever in about 70 seconds, but that's because I have 1500 trophies on you.

Thanks. I was trying to place it early to try to prevent attacking army from ramping, but I see what you mean about not having contact with the first wave. I didn't realize the first wave was repeated. I had been trying to get a ranged-heavy wave to the last corner around the time I (while attacking) get to the first corner. That way you have a bunch of wizards and arblasters basically follow you along the path to the right.
