So yeah.  I decided to launch an all out offensive today.  And it worked.  Better than I could have wanted.  I hit up 4 different people this morning to take over $41,000!

I spent:
$12,000 on my Blacksmith
$15,000 on my Blacksmith
$7,500 on my Siege Factory
$2,700 on my Blacksmith Weapons (Maces)
and the rest on troops!

Holy Crap.
Nice steals

Damn straight! Any tips?

I bought a couple of trebuchets to upgrade my sieges. There's a guy that has an island that never keeps any heroes on D! I've got him for about $20K so far...

[Mezmoron]

Lol  I think I just got lucky...I didn't even send in agents this time.  However, I did realize that just cause someone has 8000 troops, that doesn't mean they'll whoop ya.

Elduriel
sent me a message saying our clan didn't look like it was doing well and how we should join him.

He is the leader of Keepers of Hades or some crap.
I wanted to post his name because getting his message made me want to rank up to hurt him.
But i will just chill out back here till i can get sizeable upgrades to kill with

For starting in the game about a month and a half late, I think we're doing pretty darn well.

Agreed.

[Izret101]

 Especially for your first tiem thru.
Which was what i said.

I should have copy pasted it.
Hopefully he sends me another message back.

How do you guys generate cash?  I've already taken advantage of the Bonuses and here's what I've gotten after about a day of trying to figure this out:

1 Hero
80 Archers
40 Pikemen
100 Footmen
1 Agent
16 Merchants
1 Engineer

1 Mobile Lab (Level 2)
1 Blacksmith (Level 1)

And I'm a "Village."

I also have 1 X-5 Blaster

Needin' some cash, 'cause I'm a spending freak.

Attack! Attack! Attack! Most people don't have a hero on Defense in the early going, so you can rake up the $$$ quickly. Be sure to upgrade your hero altar so you can get that 2nd hero to protect your $$$.

If you haven't done them already, there are also a couple of Researches to help you out. Stock and the one below it (don't remember the name). Invest in that and you'll up your daily income from $800 to $1K.

And welcome to the game! This is a good time to get in because the game is going to reset on June 1, so playing for awhile now should give you some good ideas/strategies of what works & what doesn't.

BTW, don't worry about upgrading your blacksmith or fortification. It's going to rank you up and you may not have as easy of a time getting $$$ in the future.

In my opinion, you need to be all-out offensive.  Don't buy merchants quite yet.  You need to upgrade your Oil Facility and Hero Altar as soon as possible.

Holy cow, I just founds links on Zelderex I wasn't aware of.  

EDIT:  Well, I attacked someone and won, except "Our troops were very confused on what to do.  Our hero didn't posses any leadership skills."

I think I got lucky.

[Pop Culture Portal]

Ok, I'm attacking like a madman and bringing in the big bucks now.  None of the people I'm attacking have a hero...?
