Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I was wondering the same thing actually about what would have the better effect. All houses/markets then buying or simply using factories.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Like i said, I've never once had any msg offa these guys, do what you want to him i won't interfere.

If only i could make time changes easier, going to future is great for attacking then switching back to present for those tanks and battleships for defense ...

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

What I'll do, come Monday at latest, is disband Clan, and start over fresh, if they don't comply.

They either behave like members of the Clan, or adios.

I need help with this spying, how do you do it? can you give it to me step by step .

I thought you do it by clicking on 'cast spell' then select Crystal Ball from the drop down. Crystal Ball does not appear on my drop down and never has.

Im still not sure if it could be to do with your race, how many wizards you have, or another variable.

Im fighting in the dark here, can someone please help.

Found a game glitch

Keep this to Apolyton members only

Go to world bank and borrow a negative amount e.g. -10mil as the turns progress your balance reduces

I'm still feeling my way, but this much is readily apparent.
In a Clan, sharing military, one can withstand an attack by, and this is a theory, any single nation.

Barley goto the war centre as usual for an attack, then scroll all the way down and there will be a litle spell panel at the bottom. You use the spell from there, however i think you'll find it rather tough since i fail quite abit and i've got double the amount of wizards you have.

Slow,

Can you eject the deadbeats (Monday) - dont close the clan please.

Can we get Laz to join us, he is powerful.

Re clan defence, I gather 10% of each of the members forces are put into a clan defencive pool! Most of the clan dont have large milatary so for a few days the pool will be qiote small.

My current contribution is:

Cyborgs 8,136
Juggernauts 7,399
Hovercrafts 31,232
Dreadnoughts 63,741

given I have the following military:

Cyborgs: 81,363
Juggernauts: 73,989
Hovercrafts: 312,321
Dreadnoughts: 637,411

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Icari, Landovia & Alaska

Go to 'Clans' screen and 'Share your forces for clan defence'



Also, some tactical tips:

1) I find that using a concentrated force of either an Aerial or Hydro assault is best for attacking, use a large force (relevant to the strength of you and your chosen opponent) e.g. I use about 1000000 dreadnaughts for Hydro attacks against opponents with say 25000 land / net worth of 15 mil$.

2) I think cash flow is the key, most of my buildings 60% are markets, use this cash to buy large volumes of your units from the black market (forget building them with factories).

3) Dont forget wizards, ive just realised that, have about 10-20% of your buildings for wizards (the other buildings should be mainly huts with a few guard towers).

4) Dont waste your turns, I suggest doing 5 - 10 attacks, then 50 turns (cash gathering) to rebuild your health.

5) Keep a good stash of cash asside (I have 500000) its inevitable that while your not playing youll get attacked, loose land and buildings. If you have the cash stashed away you can then bulk buy units and re begin the attack cash-health rebuilding cycle.

These are some of my ideas and things I have found work for me, try them or maybe you come up with some strategies of your own (let us know).

Finally, we need to stick together. Some of you that are at the lower ranks are obviously trying to build, in a few days if we are still around we should look at a combined strategy. Maybe try and make an alliance with another clan, or certainly coordinate our attacks so we gang up and attack agressors and target specific empires / clans. Ive seen in the news forum that some of the clans do this to great effect. We are quite week at the moment so are not drawing to much attention, when we are stronger we will have to stick together and plan out actions to survive.

Good luck.

add another zero there, 5,000,000 would be a good amount to save. (for larger countries of course)

Sorry I meant $500,000,000, thats what ive got now, had over $1,000,000,000 (enough to buy 1,800,000 dreadnaughts).

Im just saving a few turns and then im on a mega offensive. Gona take out Badgoatville #14 as he's attacked me a lot (hence my spend of $500,000,000 to beef up my defence).

Youve done well, youve hardly (if at all) been attacked while you were away.
