What Is An Empire Battle And How Can I Get Some?

To start off with, lets get familiar with your own Empires base.
There are 9 Buildings in your base:
Head Quarters (HQ), Sniper Tower (ST), Armory, Hospital, 2 Safe Houses (SH) and 3 Ware Houses
Each building starts of with 3 slots for Defenders, except the HQ which starts with 6. Each building can also house a number of Offensive players. Each building has special abilities that affects everyone in EBs and normal game play. Here is a rough over view of what each building can do:


HQ:
Donations Upgrade – by increasing this you raise the amount of money you can donate a day to upgrades. The earlier in the game you get this leveled the faster you can upgrade and build things.
Combat Training – all members get a bonus % to their attacks depending on the level
Fortification – all members get a % bonus to their defenses depending on the level
Leadership – expands the maximum number of members your empire can have
Extortion – extra income per hour for all members
Building Health – increases your HQ's hit points
Defender Slots – increases the amount of defenders you can have in the HQ

Hospital:

Health Pack Recharge Rate – lowers the time it takes to make a health pack

Building Health – increases your Hospital's hit points
Defender Slots – increases the amount of defenders you can have in the Hospital


Sniper Tower:

Attack Bonus – increases the damage done by offensive players in the ST by a % depending on level

Building Health – increases your ST's hit points
Defender Slots – increases the amount of defenders you can have in the ST


Armory:
Token Recharge Rate – lowers the time it takes for your tokens to regenerate
Building Health – increases your Armory's hit points
Defender Slots – increases the amount of defenders you can have in the Armory


Safe Houses:
Defence Bonus - increase defense in building bonus by % based on level
Building Health – increases your SH's hit points
Defender Slots – increases the amount of defenders you can have in the SH


Ware Houses: So far no upgrades

So that is your base in a nutshell. Now what? Now we prepare for war!!
*This is how we in the Militia do it!

First off proper communication: When talking about a building we use the standard phone key pad:

Top Left – B1, Top Right – B3, Middle L – B4, Middle R – B6, Bottom L – B7, Bottom R – B9

So it will look like this on your screen:

B1 B2 B3

B4 B5 B6

B7 B8 B9

In EB's Classes come into play big time, here is the circle of life for classes:

Enforcers > Assassins > Heavy Weapon > Sniper > Enforcer

Enforcers are great at defending your base do to their high def and hit points.

Assassins can see and attack the enemies in the enemies back row, this is called the Back Door.

Snipers can see into the second row of buildings and pick off people from there.

Heavy Weapons are the rulers of destruction, they are experts at wrecking buildings and splash damage.

In the Militia we have Lt's assigned to people placement and building placement, all you need to do is pick a class you want to be and build it up. We recommend new players after level 15 be Heavies for starting out. For a few reasons found in my earlier posts. Now on to the fun part.

First off ALWAYS make sure you have 10 stamina set aside for the battle. This is your entrance fee.

Once you are in you will see 2 bases, the one on the left is yours and the one on the right is the enemies. On the top of the page you will see each others Empire names and a little icon on how many members they have. That number does not indicate how many of those members will be playing in the battle. On the bottom of the page you will see a red tab and a blue tab. The blue tab is YOUR Empire chat, the red tab is the Battle Chat where both Empires can trash talk each other, share codes, have a good time.

In the Militia we are strong believers in Good Sportsmanship so try and keep it clean, even if they are nasty and offensive.... We are also strong believers in Revenge and Team work so if that ever happens we will be instructing all our members in Black Ops Missions. Lol “We Live For The Swaaaaarm!”

The first thing everyone should do is attack ONCE. The reason being is that ALL members begin the battle “asleep”, this means your tokens regenerate every 10 min instead of 5. When making your first attack, pick the softest target so you do not take to much damage. (we are currently working on battle plans so targets in the future may change) Next our Snipers will give us the location they think the HQ is in and the Assassins will let us know if their B9 is a strong target or a WH. Once a battle plan is picked a Lt. will give the order to open fire. During this time snipers will take out designated target defenders, assassins will start cleaning out the “Back Door”. ONCE a building is cleared of defenders, Heavies lay into the buildings to bring them down. Enforcers are the defenders of your base. In the Militia only the KEY defenders are allowed to use health packs to keep our base from falling.

Here are a few Tips to help everyone get on the same page:

1. If you are finding the enemy is too strong, it is OKAY too sit on your tokens until a building opens up and help destroy the building
2. Do Not spread out our damage, concentrated damage is the fastest way to take out an enemy, Lts will pick a building and everyone work together to take it out
3. Focus on Defenders only, unless there is an active offensive player, we can always come back for them once the buildings are destroyed
4. When attacking and your health is almost down to 200 hp, STOP attacking people and only attack buildings, once your hp is below 200 you no longer count as a defender (if your in a defensive slot) and you give the enemy a point for dieing
5. When attacking defenders work together to lower ALL Defenders to less than 400 hp WITHOUT executing them, let the heavies know to get ready, give them a few seconds and then execute all defenders at the same time opening up the building to the Heavies
   
   
   **You only take damage if you attack another player or your being attack directly, you take no damage from attacking buildings.
   ***When looking for actives there is ONLY ONE way to tell if they are active, they will have points! on every player there are 2 bars, the top bar shows how many battle points they have and the bottom bar shows their health. If the top bar says 0 pts but they are no longer asleep.... that just means someone attacked them and woke them up, they are still inactive until points start showing up.
   
   
   It will take practice and good communication but team work will pay off and together we will become Victorious!!
