I'd like to know this too. But sonfar I've searched far and wide to find some sort of wiki but to no avail. How new is this game anyway? Couple months? Weeks?

"Goon Squad" case sensitive is the second guild.

Would it be better for both guilds to focus on one city or split objectives?

I'd say it would make sense to focus on one city to start, to get one of us in one at least. Then the citied guild can more easily help the other guild get a city of their own.

We've been beating on Gonesh when possible, and it's certainly our target city.

Yeah I hopped in, saw that and was like yyyyeahhhhh no. I think our best bet aside from trying to ninja a city is to coordinate something down the line to pick a small city and just rush it. Have everyone prepared with gold/materials to replenish troops so we can keep the assault up.

Got to be honest, if we goon rushed Gonesh with anyone who had catapults over the next day we'd have it. Instead there's only three goons who have been attacking it out of 30.

Also is coty attacking easier as dwarves? I'd be happy to race change if I did more than 2k a city seige!

Here's a trick I wish I had known when I started, maybe it can help others. Vega (the healer) is useless. Do not level her.
Level 1 heroes heal fast when injured, something like a minute. When you're fighting for cities you need to swamp the area with your color near the end so some asshat doesn't ninja it and ruin all your hard work. It's stupid but that's how it works. Low level players are critical at that point because even without any heroes to field, they can still start fights and block their opponents in the army selection screen for one minute at a time. This is where Vega shines. Since she heals quickly, she can just pop a stamina potion if you're all out of energy, and actually be on the field to be slaughtered and make the opposing heroes all lose a stamina. After this update, I will only cost her one point of stamina to do it instead of two as of now. By the time you run back from your city she'll be healed and ready to go again.
But wait, that's not all: after the fight is over the game tells you how many points of stamina each of your opponents heroes have left, so you can watch them die in real time. Once they're pretty much out of energy and can't field any more troops, the little lone Vega can actually win a match and injure all their heroes.
E: only drawback, you can no longer use her for sieges, since that gives 1000xp each time and you don't want her to level up.

Just a hint: You cannot change the Race after you leave the city and rejoin Goonsquads.
You keep the Lich hero tho. I am building Castle lvl 12 over next night

That was actually pretty effortless. The Viet guilds to the south are open invite, just find one with a spot, join, move, upgrade to Count and then leave. You do get downgraded to Baron once you're back in Athaly, but keep the Lich hero.

You keep the Hero, but can't change Race. Also, you can't change Race at all if your Castle is being upgraded. I'll be back to AoG in a little over 10 hours...

I'm not going to pay $99 for a hero anyway but Elena seems a bit poo poo? The cavalry buff is excellent but all her other abilities seem atrocious.

Incidentally are we coordinating against Gonesh (and thus claim it as Goonesh) and how do we do that thing? Do we just attack the random bases in there until they're all on fire or something? I'm so confused by the open world sieges

When all the bases in the city hits 0 defence you can then claim the city. I'm finding with a 60k defense rating it's taking me forever to bring it down. I've managed to get 6 rank 2 catapults into my army, and I still only do 2.6k damage. I'm hoping rank 3 or the silver rank 3 start to do significantly more damage!

They don't. I'm in one of the two blue guilds with the larger size cities and its impossible to dislodge anyone. Right now once you claim a city it's yours if you're paying the least bit attention.
