Maxed out walls! and scams

[Philip Skiski]

How in the world are all these bases getting so maxed out! in the last 2 weeks We went from good wins to losing. Seems like all bases have maxed walls and level low level caravans. I am level 295 and I cant keep up!

Is there a new way besides hacking that I can get my walls completed faster?

 

[Fufutus]

Do you have dollars?

Maxing walls is feasible, to be honest, and only requires time.

Doing a raid every 2 minutes is challenging but feasible considering raiding with no troop loss is standard practice these days. And say someone has +100% resources in museum (which is a lot, but doable for SA players; but not required; 30% or 50% or whatever is fine too). This means millions of food/gold per raid. Let's say 1 million of each per raid. 30x2=60 million an hour. That's about 6 walls per hour. Sure that's a lot, so cut it in half to say 3 walls per hour as a minimum.

Then take into account wall discounts; we had one recently that was 25% or 33% off, I forget, so faster wall building.

So those are the free options that can cause someone to max their walls with heavy raiding; and some people sure raid a lot.

For those that pay, there's also the "Golden Age Blessing" that cuts the wall (all building upgrades) cost in half. High level VIP can cut the cost by 10% too. Also there was a recent event where the event pass reduced the cost too. For a brief moment (12 hours?) a person could have purchased all of these together and essentially built walls for free... not sure how many did that.

So yeah, it's possible by both free and paying players; and depends on the amount of grinding. Digital has been out for a long time so many folks could easily have maxed walls by now.

And now we have the Summer for the Ages event so all walls will be discounted too; something around 50% for DA. Many will take advantage and max their walls from heavy raiding (especially given all resource buildings are producing so much during this time too).

Spend some time maxing them. I do tooo

 

[Ask97]

Dont know about hacks but I am around the same level as you and got my walls maxed the standard way during the discount event and the regular event coincided. It took about 10 days.

 

[Cougar]

The answer is very simple, just raid. Mine are maxed in CW all from raiding

I really dont use the museum much but have it upgrading now. Any recommendations for that?

 

[Philip Skiski]

I dropped about 2000 medals yesterday and really only raided about 10 million gold! what am i missing

 

[Walker]

Spend some time in game

 

[Fufutus]

To raid effectively you have to be around 200 medals. When I’m in raiding mode I fill up my resources within half an hour. In low medal territory you get one million food and gold per attack.

 

[ZaqMuse]

You should set up the museum in early stages. Upgrade in to the maxed and search for jewelry that give All resources looted +11.
Mine currently at +85% gold and oil per raid. That will give you over 2mil gold if you raid 1mil base gold.

 

[oddin]

to raid effectively you need all of these:

- good knowledge of your army composition. These days only HT and commando/zook combo works effectively
- training blessing and tactics blessing always on
- picking your targets carefully. Hit the bases, not the ones with the higher loot, but the ones that you will have the least loses
- for every attack, drop medals 2-3 times
- the optimum range for space/digital is between 1800-2400 medals
- invest a bit in mp museum. Fighter hitpoints, All rss looted, oil looted are a must.
- do not use generals, mercenaries, TT cards, alliance gate army. Only planes, normal army and maybe a tactic or two when a base is a bit harder

 

[Fufutus]

To raid effectively remember the golden rule of effective raiding:

- Do not go above 400 medals

People will try to lure you to 2000 medals but this is a technique to take your money. Unless you have a lot of money of course, in which case you can go to as many medals as you like

I upgraded all walls from lvl 19 to 20 in 4 days during one of the events, with event pass. It discounted upgrades by 25%. All it took was a lot of raiding. And like others mentioned, Museum bonuses and heavy tank Army are a key. Medals are debatable, I don’t see an issue even close to 3000, but if you’re questioning legitimacy of maxed walls, you’re not that experienced and probably best to stay low in medals.

 

[SomeRandomPlayer]

Ignore the medal talk; it's unrelated. There are easy and difficult bases at every medal range although Silver/Gold appear to have the most easy. It's all about skill (not losing troops) and choosing bases (typically easy-ish ones to start, meaning all traps (especially SAMs) are already sprung. Basically, listen to what most folks wrote here (and ignore the medal+money comments). Ignore the hard bases even if they offer a billion oil/gold/food... it's not worth it.

 

[Walker]

The walls are cheap now. Go for em

 

[Fufutus]

Ignore the high-medal temptation. It’s a trap to get your money. Do the following experiment:

1. Drop to 200 medals
2. Make a note of the levels of the first 10 opponents you find
3. Calculate their average level
4. Calculate the average loot

I just did that and here are the results (bear in mind, I am Global Age):

- Average opponent level: 101. I am at 229, so you can imagine how those battles turn out
- Average opponent loot: 631000 food, 576000 gold, 2150 oil

I go through 10 opponents in 15 minutes, with zero casualties.

People in low medal territory don’t play the game as often or not at all. They are the perfect targets.

Yes and people will always target the weak because it's easier. But, whatever makes the game fun for you. Do you also like picking fights with kids in the playground?

 

[Fufutus]

In the playground I always got beaten up. No one likes a kid with prosthetic legs.
