Fuck boom beach!
 

Every night some fucker blows up all the shit I spent all day building.

How much money have you spent on playing against bots that are coded to remain 10% stronger than you no matter how strong you become?

I have spent a whopping $0.00

Set shit up to get built and let time do the work, not cash.

I'm at level 46 and never spent a cent on it

I used to play clash of clans and had the exact same level of frustration. I wish I could say I didn't spend anything on it but I'd be lying. I deleted that fucker from my phone and my life has never been better lol.

i hate those fucking commercials on tv. i'll change the channel if i see ads for games like that. they just play them over and over. i decided to stop watching live tv because of such commercials. clash of clans or whaever its called is another one.

Hah! Are you shitting me? That's nutty, how'd you do that? I'm at 11.

I only like playing a few games on a phone, like Hitman Go or a SNES emulator. :upsidedow

Most of those fremium games suck, they make it just fun enough to keep playing and make you want to buy an upgrade. "Yeah, let's charge money for our own game currency, lol"...

If you pay to beat a game quicker, you're basically paying more to play it less...

Boom beach sucks. I'm over it.

It's like mental masturbation, I play that and clash of clans, at level 97 for that.

i play it too

i am level 16 (i think)

I've been playing for a month without spending any real money. It was tough to figure out the best base defense, but now I rarely get raided successfully...and I've finally started winning offensive raids. Things won't really start coming together until around level 18 (I'm at 24 now), but remember that there's always bigger fish in the pond who can smack you down. But that goes the other way also. I know this may be hard, but show me a screen grab of your defenses.

One tip I can give you is to keep the higher range guns like sniper nests behind the base. Machine guns for flankers. I have a row of three cannons right in the front middle.

It's frustrating, but can also be very rewarding. I'm in awe of the awesome game SuperCell created.

If you spend money or dont spend money you will do exactly the same in the game. Zero spend keeps you 10% weaker than others who spend zero. 1M spend keeps you 10% weaker than anyone else who spent 1M or bots...

Hmmm, and I was thinking in game purchases could really put someone over the top. And I know there's people who like to win no matter what but I don't understand that mentality.

I get a better feeling of accomplishment by not buying diamonds. When I do accumulate a nice diamond stash, I always end up using a few to finish a build that's almost done, rather than just building something instantly.

List your usernames in here and I'll blow up your shit every day! ;)

right on, any input is appreciated!

you're prolly the dude that blowed my shit up last nite huh! :mad:

Game of War is way better. :)

Level 16

I find it sooooo slow though

Chop the trees down when you can.

Upgrade boats as much as you can.

Upgrade your solders/weapons as much as you can.

i'm with you.

i've got all the trees chopped down that i can at hq level 5

i HAD all my shit fully upgraded as much as possible but it got blowed the fuck up last nite!

fortunately have spent a shit ton of resources on a vault, so most my gold and shit stays put.

what the fuck! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh i haven't seen anything > level 13

does it have boats? i like the boats! :1orglaugh

Loosen up placement a little. When I scout an enemy player the first thing I look for in an easy win is a player who bunches up his guns right next to each other. This way I can conserve gunboat energy with 2 for 1 kills on splash damage. I can almost guarantee that's why you're getting hammered often.

My base is more centered, with the turrets as I described earlier in the thread. The way you have it now, once the front loaded defense is chewed up they can charge right in for the kill. Also, use your economy buildings as obstacles the enemy has to go through. Sometimes when they don't have a flare available, the dumb troops will attack a residence instead of that precious cannon.

you need to upgrade everything.

one thing i did not realise to begin with is that you can upgrade your troops.

also upgrade your salalight thing, then take over as many basis as you can. as this = gold and other stuff.

work out what level you can attack and keep to that.

i find anything over 40 and i loose.

to be honest, do not worry about being attacked. just keep upgrading and upgrading.

Keep upgrading this lot with your cash.

Here's my setup, that hasn't been raided in over a week. I have changed a few things recently, but this "spread out" setup has been getting raided rarely.

On offense, I've really been liking having at least two carriers with 5 zookas each. They bring up the rear while my heavies and hammer warriors keep defenses busy. And I always have one carrier full of basic troops to use as sniper fodder.

Upgrade your flares. They can decide a battle and they have for me many times.

:thumbsup

i'll stretch em out and move those bldgs.

the prob at this point is cash flow and wood flow. i had to upgrade hq to get to upgrade to what i could, but had to upgrade a bunch of other stuff to upgrade more stuff so i can upgrade hq. i shoot my wad on that and then let my gold and wood build up so i can upgrade but while i'm waiting i get raided. i understand it's by design, buy some diamonds and just pay to upgrade my shit before it gets blowed up.

i have not had to buy any diamonds.

keep looking at your main map as often treasure chests pop up. Clip on them and you get diamonds.

But more islands you raid, the more gold you get each day.

Your aim should be attacking as many islands as you can.

and take any resource base you can. They help with cash and wood flow.

I'll second what DVtimes said about attacking as many bases as you can. Go for the easy victories on the computer opponent, and pick carefully the human players you want to attack.

Sometimes I'll try and fail multiple times to demolish someone's base once I get determined.

all the opponents in my visible map are > strength and such than me. I've lost all my raid attempts on all of them lately. I've maxed out on radar, i had planned on upgrading radar today, in the meantime, there are no islands to raid. each raid attempt on human beaches costs me ~3000 gold because i have to get new guys.

Also more you improve a boat, the more troops it can carry.

The more you improve that main boat, the more it can damage stuff.

The more you upgrade troops and weapons the more you can kick bottoms (or ass as you americans say).

yes

upgrade your radar.

by the way i find the bazookers are best for fighting.

see what works for you, but i find they seem to take a lot to be killed and do more damage when shooting.

they're actually very fragile...but can stand back at a good distance. I like to have other troops keeping guns busy while they sit back and blow up everything.

come and play evony :2 cents:

right on, i like the zookas, i have 2 of my boats loaded with them.

i think if i can go 2 days without getting raided, i can get over the resource hump i'm at.

i keep getting blowed up on boom beach! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

COC is better@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I play till the moment when i get to the level that cant pass and makes me nervous

Been playing these for a while, never spent any money on them, where's the challenge?

I use scorchers, heavies and zooka's. At your level I would use a equal amount of heavies and zooka's. Zooka's have a long range and are great for taking out flamethrowers because they have a better range. Heavies get right in their face.

Scorchers are flamethrowing tanks! Loads of fun. They attack multiple targets at the same time

Haha I was interested in the principles of familiar ion for an app I wanted to create and used this one to really take a hard look at all of the principles used.

Level 42
Money spent? Maybe 500? Just upgrading my and upgrading to see what would come next.

Crazy how many Japanese players there are. I keep waking up to some Japanese guy who fucked my stuff up.

hah, that's nutty. how long did it take you to get this far? i would say the challenge is figuring out the order to best upgrade shit.

is there a general order to follow? like don't bother updating your boat if your such and such isn't at least level so&so?

one thing i can't seem to gather up are minerals. so i can't sculpt any idols to boost production yet.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

that's what i'm talking about! every morning i wake up and go well, let's see how bad the damage is. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

the trick is to make your base look like something that can't easily be raided. Sometimes I raid players of a higher level and win, because they've created weak spots in their setup.

An offensive tip: When scouting, check the radius of the guns and look for blind spots you can sit in. Sometimes you can just ignore entire areas of their base because it's of no consequence to your objective of destroying the headquarters. When doing a pre-shelling of the base, only target the guns that can reach your pre-planned path. But the path you planned can go haywire if you run out of flares, which is why it's so important to have the maximum time on the flare you can get.

Hard to get the minerals at first, but it gets easier.
As far as order, I go back and forth with defense and offense 50/50

i have 4 troop transports, you're thinking 2 full of heavies and 2 zookas? i currently have 2 zookas, 1 heavy, and 1 set of 6 soldiers.
