Congrats Marv, you're the first winner of Chang's newest award

I'm co-leader of a clan myself.  Walter White if you want to check it out...

We war 2x/week and are trying to step our game up a bit.  Just started our own forums to communicate during wars, call bases, discuss strategies, etc.

You guys don't have teamspeak or equivalent?

It's basically a fancy tower defense game (why I couldn't resist) with the twist that you also get to attack. You can't control your attacking army other than the initial placement of units. Different attacking units have different targeting priorities and paths. Ends up a matter of rock, papers, scissors. Asians tend to be good at this game - they are good at seeing and exploiting weaknesses in base design. The people who wreck my base always have three character fancy Chinese character names (this would imply Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore)

There's a lot of sitting around waiting for things to build. Structures at the higher levels can take days. Armies can take anywhere from 15 minutes to hours. You can do well with this game by only spending $20 to get extra builders. What happens with most people is that they get impatient, get pissed off that some random dude raped their base, or spend more resources (gold or grape juice or whatever they call it, I forget) than they get in return for attacking bases.

The game is ideal for someone who actually has some shit to do, but can come back to it once an hour or every few hours.

In terms of wars, the only thing that needs to be done is coordination of who attacks who and what helper / reinforcement units to send to friendlies.
