    A little trick :)
    When you are in a battle mothership vs mother ship.
    Send 2 tank in his expansions.
    (click twice for ignore enemie :) )

    So, if we've been buying all level 2 and 3 upgrades, are we just out the credits or will we get them back?

    From what i heard, you get refunded.

    Also a few more tips,

    I was just going to say send tanks to enemy mines, but you already beat me to that. :|. Sooo...

    Avoid a two-front (or more) wars. <--- basic logic, but a few times now i've seen people trying to take me on, and another dude at the same time...
    It would have been smart for him to run, but he didn't so I kill him, then the other dude. :)


    Send mech's first when attempting to start a battle to scout. I don't know how many times someone tries to send in their mediocre army with their mothership, only to be blown up in a matter of seconds, And then my units chase down their mothership.
    If they would have sent in a scout,

    1. They would have lose 1 unit, not 1 battle.
    2. They would be informed of how large my army is.
    3. The downside to this, is that I'll try not to kill the scout, and when he returns to his base, he'll have lead me to his army :)..


    Build up your army to at least 2 tanks, 5 or so mechs (5 level 3, 7 level 2, or 10 level 1's). and As many planes as you want. <--- this is my standard. I'll usually use tanks to kill ground forces, and miners, but if i'm going against all planes, Of course i'll pull them out.
    This standard works actually pretty well. mech's can be used to take out Any air, if your going against all tanks, pull them out.
    Tanks are pretty much NECESSARY early-game, but become useless late-game when it becomes who has the most ships.


    Try to lure with level 1 mechs.
    What i mean is, Have ur mech have a speed upgrade. Then lead them into an opponents army, then have it run out as soon as you make contact. Then lead them back to your base. If your opponent doesn't catch this, then prolly only a few units will be lead back, which are easy to kill.


    If your not currently in a battle with someone, or making miners, it's Usually a good idea to reserve at least 100 AP. Just in case your army needs more tanks to combat mass of mechs, or more mechs to combat air.




    I'll think of more later

    Okay guys, I've taken the initiative to make a community forum for Armada, since basically we're stuck in two threads at toucharcade.

    http://armada.forumsmotions.com/forum.htm

    Check it out guys. Make an account and go there for all your Armada needs so we don't spam up these two topics too much.

    Ok, I'm up to rank 14. We all know that crushing the armless is easy and fun, and I seem to win more then 50% when up against equivalent armed folks. I dont think I'm ready to fight backtothis in a no arms match or anything, but I'm getting better.

    Anyway, I want advice on next upgrade. So far:

    Mech 1 Upgrades: best armor, health, speed, attack and attack speed.

    For my next upgrade, I am considering mech 1 attack range. HOWEVER, the mech 1's have such little sight that range would not be terribly useful except for the guys accompanying the mother ship. Sooo...I am thinking either mech 1 sight then range, or just skip those and go to 100% tank 3 health next. Or I could try max tankarmor, no idea which would give more benefit.

    Upgrading ships is an interesting idea, but I'm not too sure its the best use of arms.

    yeah dont upgrade range or LoS for mechs, finish upgrading health first. well anyways..all of this is gonna be gone very soon with 1.2 update, so the choices you make now are in face nonbinding.
