Summit posted:The real answer is to stop caring about base defense. Make offensive upgrades a priority so you can raid more effectively. Save raids for when you need the resources so your stores are always too low for anyone to bother with. The best defense is having nothing to steal. I build my new defenses and level them up during periods of relative inactivity. They're so inexpensive relative to my big upgrades I can do them quite easily from just collectors or clearing out NPC bases. While you can also totally ignore defenses, if you are doing a hybrid offense/defense, that third Boom Cannon and Shock Launcher are pretty drat sweet.

Offense is the priority but defense gets some love now and then. It's nice to collect some diamonds from being raided. But I don't care too much how often I'm attacked as long as I don't lose resources.

The only thing defenses really help with is getting gems from defenses. Even max levelled defenses for a HQ level can be defeated by a good Hooka, having stronger defenses just means you'll kill more of their troops than usual. Having a high levelled vault helps a lot too. I'm HQ13, lvl 33 and I can smash lvl 40 bases. Having 70% extra GBE means I can kill all the boom and rocket turrets with arty/barrage and roll over the rest, regardless of tower levels, all they dictate is how many heavys will die before I win.

I need some suggestions for how to get more gold. I have a bunch of upgrades yet to do in the armory, but there's no way I'm going to build up 600k+ for each one in a decent amount of time before I get raided and lose it all. Thoughts?

LOL, 600k... Anyway, just focus on the ones you actually use. Like Hooka? Ignore riflemen and warriors. Ignore mines. OP rewards are pretty generous for gold. Are you in a task force? Upgrade your collecters and clear your map. Upgrade your Vault too.

My vault and residences are maxed out, but I am in a goon task force so I guess I'll just have to build it all up and pray I don't get raided too much. drat. Edit - It's getting hard to clear my map since my troops aren't tough enough to handle the people I'm getting matched up with. That or I just suck balls at attacking, could be either.

There's this wierd part of the game where you're HQ11-14 and its just hard as balls to save up because you get matched with bases only a few HQ higher that can cause serious problems for attacking at lower HQs. Best thing to do is let the map fill up and then try to clear everything as much as possible, then get whatever upgrades you can get squeezed in. Probably best to focus on getting all your LC to level 12 so you can run 8/12 heavy and 32/24 zooka, which if used right can tackle bases above your weight. Attacking effectively and exploiting flaws in bases is crucial and there's no real way to touch on it briefly, watch some youtube videos on hooka attacks to get a good idea of how to handle them, it's rather difficult to direct at first because it feels so messy. Troop bonus statues are your number one priority, then gunboat energy. Ignore everything else for now, except maybe power stone chance but only if it's a masterpiece and 50%+, or loot bonus masterpiece of 40% or more.

I think I broke down and spent twenty bux on gems to beat that hump. Gold is pretty cheap to gem. Time is cheap too, but I rarely care about timers. Resources are crazy expensive, and for the short amount of time that they take, troops are expensive too. Sometimes I'll drop a quarter to fill a boat if I have boosted statues and I am trying for a big upgrade. Each gem is about $.009, so I compare spending 27 gems to finish a LC reinforcement to dropping a quarter in an arcade. But $32 for a Armory upgrade is nuts.

Putty posted:noobs Stop thread making GBS threads. Someone actually posted in this thread. Let's keep it up! I am almost zeroed out on resources from my last radar upgrade. Its nice not getting raided 4 times a day, but I basically have to wait and cycle through some player bases so I can get some sweet ones lined up. Then I'll boost on a Dr. Cuckold day and clear my map and level up my Armory. Maybe I need a higher trophy count? Half the bases I get have the same level of loot as NPC bases.

Is there a benefit to upgrading the submarine? I'm at level 3 and the dive depths have not changed on the dive locations I am finding, 700 meters. The sub can do 800+.

I noticed that the sub dive locations take a big leap around radar level 15. I was doing fine with 900 or 1k meters then the deepest became 1300.

Looks like they want to make it even harder to get a large amount of loot at once: http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/597232-Event-Changes-Coming-Next-Update They're going to make the twice weekly Dr Terror events in to a daily event of 7 levels and then add a new event for some days. Non-stop cucking with even less chance to get big chunks of loot, yay! And if you boost for terror, now you can boost everyday!

That's actually going to make me play more; DT has generally been a lower source of loot than player bases for me. Plus dark crystal farming will be easier a bit, I'd imagine. Pluuuus we don't know what the special event is.

Some weeks I miss Doc T entirely, yet suffer all the consequences of it. Saving gold for a big upgrade blows when two days a week I get raided 4 times a day.

There's no way to change my LC order around ither than changing all my troops out, is there? Hvy/Zooka/Hvy is annoying me. Seems like kind of a big oversight if you can't just switch boats around :/

Seems like kind of a big oversight if you can't just switch boats around :/ Just swap out the troops before you go to sleep. You get a full refund on your troops. Unless you're limited by your landing crafts levels, then just learn to upgrade better.

Check the official forums perhaps. What HQ are you and what troops do use? In general, no matter what troops you prefer, focus solely on offense. Upgrade your LCs and Gunboat. Focus on purple and red statues exclusively, specifically the GBE (gun boat energy) statues. Also whichever troops you like, focus on leveling them exclusively in your Armory. Plus support like Flare and Barrage/Artillery. A lot of goons like Tanks with Medics, or Tmed. Hooka is very popular, Heavies and Zookas. Before I got Tmed, I used mass rifleman exclusively and strong flanking tactics. I never got into warriors, but they are incredibly strong at single target DPS. Each army has its own weaknesses and strategies. Splash damage will stop Riflemen. Boom Cannons will wreak Hooka and Tmed. And so on. Its kind of like rock-paper-scissors. Some bases are great against warriors but weak against hooka or tmed. You can't build a base to stop everything. Therefore not every base will be weak to your preferred army comp.
