Getting started

Your first base, your first battles and the tips that help most.

Welcome, Commander! You start with a Command Center, an engineer and a little stock of coins, steel and fuel. Build up your base, train an army and win back the valley from the raiders.

Your first steps

  1. Follow the tutorial: it shows your first attack, collecting, building and training, one step at a time, and pays a small reward for each step.
  2. Build a War Bond Office, a Steel Mill and a Fuel Pump, and tap them often to collect what they make.
  3. Train Humvees in the Motor Pool. They are quick and cheap, and you need an army to attack.
  4. Tap Attack and play the first campaign outposts. Every star you win for the first time gives diamonds.
  5. Upgrade the Command Center: every level opens new buildings and higher levels for the rest of your base.

Tips from experienced commanders

  • Keep your engineers busy. Start a long upgrade before you log off, so your base keeps growing while you are away.
  • Protect your storage. Put defences around your Supply Depots and resource buildings: that is where attackers find their loot.
  • Use barriers. Barriers hold up ground units in front of your defences. Attack Helicopters fly over them, so build Air Defence too.
  • Pick the right units. Humvees go for the nearest building, APCs for resource buildings and Tanks for defences. Mix them for a good attack.
  • Come back every day. Open the daily supply drop, finish your three orders and win 5 stars for the daily star bonus.
  • Join a Battalion. From Command Center 2, your Battalion sends you units, chats with you and wins wars with you. Battalions
