Well said.

 Try to save up your offense and and don't fight everyone if your new. if your in a league make sure you's are not fighting everyone and you's are only getting stronger to make a strong alliance or join one for beacon protection. This is because if you're not in a top league your league might never be unless they do this and it will help attract players who do pay to play the game if you're free to play read this even if your not you could use the head start before you start spending saphires. If your a old player and you're in a dead end league or one with a really low amount of league achievements then you should read the guide and train every person who joins personally and ask your league to help. develop a lone term plan to pass leagues that older than you. If you're a old player and know most of everything don't get complacent be the example finish what you started fight and never lose your conviction. If your not playing to be the #1 league then you're killing the game we need new warriors and new leagues who will become the best with new players who became a lord today leading them now and forever. Everyones just going with the flow not many new challengers they get snatched up quick and recruited nothing wrong with that but you're just a 3rd man you need to be the first and the third.

Gawdamit! I wish I had this to help me out when starting the game. LoL. Would have been really helpful :D Especially the BG part! Thanks Bro.

Thank you Anbu. Now I have another question. You mentioned using infantry & calvary units for low lvl BG's. At what level would you recommend starting to use stronger units and what type of units??

Also, I want to make sure I'm reading the chart you provided the link for correctly. First, I assume the level column refers to the BG level. But, does the force column show the number of units or their strenght?? And, does it represent the TOTAL number of units or strength needed to COMPLETE the BG??

play with fun be prepared too take sacrifice over honor forming allinces will make adiffernt leuage if ever to START one.Make sure you have active players each day asking would be a privillidge to do so. Get inactive players out of yours as they can fullfillled with false intent to play. Power up level 20 townhall power house of scroll level 20 powering level 20 embassy as well as resources are not a essiantial to start as a evenly done playinstrumnet of your to be team. Start diplomacy with the ones whoom are trustwourthy to do their bit as players while stick with the highest placed one for getting their extra`s out of your league. Only give one teammember embassodor priveledge as he is fiot to do so bringing in teamplayers. You do not have to big to beat a team but knowing them all is a heavy burding to bear....

Regarding the BG, beside doing it for quality and food management, i.e. exchanging low level units for higher level units consuming less food (which I don't know at what level would start to become an issue for the player, I only know food wastage due to surplus is an issue to me despite having fairly large infantry units, I can't imagine if all my infantry units turn into bestiary I would have to start giving out food to my enemies as well), can I be sure doing the BG gives out a net positive outcome? In other words, the reward I get will always be more than the investment + tax I put in?

From my own experience, I found out sometimes the BG can give out enough reward that will boost my army offensive power considerably, but as I continue to do it like for 2 days, it becomes costly to me as it reduces my offensive power lower, although I am not sure if lower than initially because I keep building and getting new units.

If doing BG is touted as a type of investment, then the reward from doing normal BGs over time should help to grow the army much stronger, excluding the quest rewards. Or else, it can't be touted as an investment, but merely an exchange like forex turning a currency into another currency minus some broker's commission.

BG's start off really easy it you can do them all day until you get around level 10-15 then they get harder. And you won't have to worry about using stronger units than infantry or cavalry infantry will pay out in cavalry units if used to complete the bg. Cavalry units will payout in occult or beastiary units. The link with the BG's and force required to complete is simple to use just use two waves of units you trained in your barracks it's not hard to keep track since the units you trained will be used only for bg's or raiding and attacking castles or defending. In wave one you want to send half the amount need to complete the bg then in wave 2 you want to send 100% of force needed to complete the reward wlll only be given if you have a quest that says complete a a bg and what level it is. What happens is new players build up a army and run at BG's hoping for pay out but you need to put up units to build a reserve and make sure is always increased after bg pay outs and build up waves of infantry and cavalry to send at bg's and raid for resources so you can train more units and upgrade buildings and then use the link with bg's lvk1-100 force limit and use the two wave method 50% wave 1and 100% wave 2. then track your increases and get ready for the next level when you get a quest for it.

Your bg's should always give out a increase in offense sometimes it might be a little less but it will still be a trade for better units you can't train yet like dragons for units you can train like killing of knights you've trained to get rewarded in dragons even if you went down offense a little your food consum also went down to yuo can have more units in your army possible make sure you always get a reward for bg's if you don't then you didn't have a quest for it and should have waited until tomorrow when the bg quests refresh. mistakes can happen and you have to be careful.

This is very helpful. Just started a day ago and still learning concept.
