The Academy
This is the Alliance Academy. It is a knowledge database for our members. The strategies and tasks explained here are a crucial part of our success. Read and study them thoroughly. Learn and implement. Every well-trained commander is irreplaceable for the entire team.
Enjoy learning!
Daily tasks:
Our world is still under construction. To stand strong in the upcoming wars and against our enemies, we must build and train every city and army as best as we can. Therefore, our biggest focus at the current time is RESOURCES. There are many resource sources! Remember – even small amounts add up! Here are your to-dos that you should complete every day to replenish your resources:
- Harvest your fields and refineries. Send all units from your farms to collect, and also bring those resources to your capital.
- Explore the ruins. Ruins can be explored in 4 categories, twice daily. Do it every day! It yields useful resources.
- Kill zombies. Use your free time and kill as many zombies as possible until you run out of fuel. The higher the level of the zombies, the better your rewards. Zombies often carry large amounts of resources.
- Gather, gather, gather. Don't let your army remain idle in the city. If you have nothing to do, send your army to the mines and fields.
Contribute your part.
This point also counts as one of your daily tasks. However, as it is the most important point of all, we want to highlight it here:
- Contribute your donations to alliance technology. This action should be done 2-3 times a day.
I know, it’s annoying that we remind you and urge you every day to make technology donations. But we do it because it is essential for the progress and construction of the entire alliance. Only through these donations can we expand our territory, recruit new commanders, and increase our combat power and defense values. Your donations are not lost! On the contrary: they benefit every individual city in Anadolu.
Battle strategies
The key battle strategies of ‘AND’. Every commander should know and master these strategies!
1. THE FORMATION
The arrangement of your army not only determines victory or defeat but also the extent of your losses. In the workshop, you can adjust the formation of your composite army. At the top should always be your primary attack force, which consists of:
- ALL snipers
- ALL cannons
- 1 unit from each other category
The individual units will distract the enemy while your ranged attack deals with enemy soldiers.
This helps keep your losses and power loss low.
2. TRAINING
As you might already guess, the main focus in training your soldiers should be on snipers and cannons. The more, the better.
Remember: weak soldiers die first. You should always try to keep the level of your soldiers as high as possible. The principle is simple: in war, level 4 dies first, then level 5, then level 6, and so on. At the city wall, you have the opportunity to upgrade your weaker soldiers. However, you must first reach the necessary level in your barracks. Currently, every commander should be able to train snipers and cannons to level 6.
3. SHIELDS & BOOSTERS
Protective shields and boosters are very rare and will become VERY IMPORTANT as the game progresses! Save your shields and boosters. You are in the beehive of a Top 5 Alliance. Anyone attacking us must either be drunk or insane. So, don’t worry when you go to sleep. We protect each other. The best thing that can happen to us is to be attacked and inflict painful and high losses on the enemy.
Boosters should only be used on the command of a superior during a joint attack. We will still need them! So keep them in your inventory.
Attack "Go5"
Attack “Go5” is our MOST IMPORTANT and STRONGEST attack tactic. The goal of this tactic is to send armies from several cities to the same destination simultaneously. This gives the enemy less time to prepare, and their allies cannot arrive in time to reinforce. In this video, you can see an example of a good “Go5” attack.
Explanation:
- A commander marks a target in the chat.
- Everyone views the target, taps “Attack” (CAUTION – do not confirm the attack yet!) and posts in the chat the time their units will take to reach the target.
- Once each attacker has shared their time, the one with the longest time becomes the commander.
- The commander confirms the start of the attack with the command “GO5”, waits for 5 seconds, and then attacks the target.
- All other commanders wait in the alliance menu under “Battles” for the attack. As soon as it appears, you tap on it and see the countdown. 4-5 seconds before YOUR time is reached, you tap the “+”, select your army (1st formation), and attack.
If the time difference between all commanders is 1-3 seconds, the attack is perfect.
IMPORTANT! Pay attention to both the target AND the chat during the attack! If a commander orders a retreat, no questions are asked and no discussion – retreat immediately!
Fake Attack
The fake attack is used to confuse the enemy. When attacking an alliance, we can prevent the actual target from receiving reinforcements through targeted fake attacks. A fake attack consists of ONLY ONE zombie. Place a zombie in the bus and launch the attack toward any target. Info: From Level 15 of the city’s Spy Center, you can see exactly how many units the enemy has sent. This also applies in reverse.
Gather
I believe that gathering doesn’t need an explanation. But just to mention it: When gathering against a common target, you have the advantage that the attack is guaranteed to be coordinated and simultaneous. However, the enemy receives a warning minutes before the attack, giving them time to prepare or activate a shield if necessary.
