It is a Valor Economy

[JohnnyR]

Why would you have so many allies that you needed 800 meat shields?

As of now my base is set up to be a valor collecting machine. The more allies I have, the more rivals I can hit. I need every ally I can find so I can complete valor goals that require victories against rivals with a certain number of allies, right now I'm looking for rivals with 430 allies. Every bit of cash is being used to upgrade boost buildings and buy meatshields so I can go run down some rivals for valor. Some people build up income per hour, some build their attack/defense stats, some build their win/loss ratio....I'm collecting valor. The ONLY thing I lose about 99% of the time is either sniper or warthog, and thats because I have so many. The SH are there to provide muscle beneath the fat that absorbs the blows.

I agree Funzio needs to add more high end cash units. They should shift some units in the advanced airbase and dry docks and add stronger units. Move for example the stealth bomber to lvl 5 and have 6-8 with stronger units. They can double up on some of the other units and buildings and add other to the rest of the buildings as well. That way they can offset some of the effects of huge gold and valor armies.

At my level, 93, I need as high a def value as possible. I balance that with not maxing out. Currently that is 400 allies. My def is over 40k. It's not the highest, but I don't get attacked very often. Because my meat shield for defense has a def value of 18, my base def is higher than one based on lower value units. Because they are so cheap I can reach them in no time. Since I have so many they also die before higher value ones most of the time.

Thanks for the very useful info guys! Poopenshire, what units would you recommend as meatshield?

valor should be taken off other players if it isnt already, same as cash. Currently i have close to 20k valor and i might just keep adding more as i know it cant be looted .

for defense i swear by the Military Ambulance. I bought 850 they have great def score and they are cheap. A-10's, Flame throwers, Heavy Gunners, Submarines, and Bradleys. I try to pick anything below $100,000 grand a unit but give me the > 5 att score. someday I will have to increase this, but with my current economy they do well. My att score is >35k so these guys are still ok to use. my def score is >40K so I have to use the ambulances as all others are just not high enough scores and would bring me down.

Edit: Pretty much all Infantry under $100,000 will be my meat shields at a given time. Amphibious troopers are almost too low of an attack for my anymore as well as flame thrower and heavy gunner. my next purchase will be lots of seals and commandos. in 2 days i can buy >100 of each so they are expandable.

How come when I buy a Ambulance my def stats don't go up? Do I not have enough allies? I currently have 31 allies and 62 ambulances.

without looking at your inventor its probaby what you said plus the units you already have that are higher. I have 400 allies so I bring 1600 units to battle at all times. i want my best meat shield to be a large portion of that and in this case i have 850 military ambulances. all my other defense units are >18 defense so no matter what if i had all ambulances i would have a 28,800 defense not counting bonus % from boost. I have added more Ambulances and the do not increase my scores becuase they do not come to battle. in this case I am buying higher def score units like mine-launchers and global stealth drones to bring up my base score.

from an attack stank point its the same but since my score is lower my meat shields have lower attack scores.

So another words I gotta just buy my highest stat def unit, to have my stats go up. as well for my att?

You might right. since you only have 31 allies thats only 124 units. what ever your lowest of the 24 if in both Def and Att will be the minimum you need to buy. adding allies will yes bring more units and increase your scores, but expose you to more attacks in general.

Yeah i don't want to up my allies much, if at all. You should come take a look at my units, and let me know what you think.
