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
- 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.
- Build a War Bond Office, a Steel Mill and a Fuel Pump, and tap them often to collect what they make.
- Train Humvees in the Motor Pool. They are quick and cheap, and you need an army to attack.
- Tap Attack and play the first campaign outposts. Every star you win for the first time gives diamonds.
- 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
