General Tips for n00 (read first post)

[Mcdoc]

Hey Johnny - you forgot the most important abbreviation of all - "FNG" - F'n New Guy -LoL

Also, some others I keep repeating:

AT - Amphibious Trooper
SS - Sea Scout
SF - Stealth Frigate
SH - Super Hornet

ASP - Attack Skill Points
DSP - Defense Skill Points

I'm sure there are many more

Add that there use to be no requirement for buildings that's why some have them and others can't yet. I am tired about reading about that.

Also, it's funny how new comers always start a thread by saying "Hi"

O so I'm camping, weird i thought it was the complete opposite like what people refer to what players did in old FPS on multiplayer, camping spawn points. So i thought it meant camping one player over and over again on this game, now I know what it really means, thanks.

Is there any sort of general rule for how much defence you should have by level? I know it is different for all players, especially gold/free but is there a formula or best practise to keep? As in, by level 5 you should have 500 defence, but level 10, 1000 defence etc.?

When I look at my rival list (level 28) the attack/defence scores are all over the play ranging from 400 to one player I saw with 5500. What should I be aiming for?

New update guys.

FAQ, Fast Facts, a few warnings, a few new definitions, and nation bonus basics explained.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions guys.

Minor changes next time, hopefully I can get a bit of input here:

Definition of turtle strategy and new definition for "camping." Both are unique strategies IMO, and I think I have mischaracterized camping a bit, somebody's post regarding camping in other FPS games got me thinking about a better definition.

Links! I need links to good threads to reference to. Thinking about including good links to discussions regarding the different issues and FAQ people have here so one can go in and see what was said, and get some in depth info.

Alrighty, that's all for now, thanks for the interest!

first rule I would say for this game is like in sales (Always Be Closing)
The abc of this game is always be buliding/upgrading/expanding/increasing Vault

Future update will include "General Strategy Tips," this truly is THE first rule.

This would be useful to include under valuable links. Copied from Tanner's signature.

Can we request the mod to make this a sticky?

Excellent thread - thanks for the effort.

A few comments:
1. typo in nation's bonuses: Russia (air not sea)
2. My advice is to leave only one friendly message in response to attacks. 'Spamming' a message wall to push your attack off another's news list will NOT work anymore (see below), and may be counterproductive. I for example will make a point of increasing my attacks.
3. Related info worth adding to your guide. If you receive annoying, abusive or attempted spam messages you can delete two (consecutive?) messages from the same user from your wall and you then have the option to block future messages from that user.

cheers
