    Strategy advice

    Ok so I have about 23 hours left on my shield and about 15k in the bank of both resources.

    Do I:

    A) Save up 30K and upgrade two resource buildings to LVL 4
    B) Save up 45K to upgrade the Headquarters to lvl 4?
    c) Other

    I have accrued about 480 gems through random stuff and filling out surveys online, should I just buy the iron needed to upgrade the HQ for 110 gems? I don't really want to do IAP.

    Seems to be a bug currently with the medal system. I was attacked and successfully defended (34% damage) and I still lost 67 medals. My wife had someone attack her and she only suffered 14% damage and she lost 66 medals.

    Same here I got attacked said I won't as they destroyed 10% and then it said -56 medals but in green like when your awarded them instead.

    Ontop of that it actually took more than 56 off me as it put me to 0! Although I don't really care I'm only just starting anyway.

    The AI in this game is stupid. If there's a wall between you and your troops target, I understand why they sometimes walk around, but what I don't get is why, when the wall has been breached, they step to the side and shoot at the wall some more! That's frustrating! Also... If you're being attacked why do the AI still attack the base target? Why can't they try and defend themselves from the defending troops and if they succeed, then go back to destroying the base? It's really frustrating. I liked the game until I kept encountering the same issue almost every time I attacked another base. That's a deal breaker for me... fix it or not, I'm done!

    Am I missing something...
    The patch notes talk about the "Time limited campaign" and the unit that is the campaign reward is in the barracks...but there is no campaign, just says "Coming Soon".

    Did the patch notes get ahead of the release?

    None of the tapjoy stuff worked for me which was dissapointing after completing them.

    I'm also on the rebels but only about the same level as you. Also been looking for a clan and happy to donate but I hate joining a bunch of idiots and children and most groups don't keep control of their members they just fill up and leave it at that.

    Getting a little fed up with this now

    I had over 300,000 gems, this morning only 250,000 and i've been attacked twice. I thought someone said you dont actually 'lose' credits in a fight ?

    Anyway i've bought a fair few IAP's to be honest, got a lot of itunes credit from my birthday so to me its not 'real money'.

    Anyway just upgraded my base to a level 7, will it take 12 hours to create it so i can just wake up in the morning and see the base ? No it'll take 7 days !!!! Or it'll cost about 900 gems ! Bit of a joke really

    Getting fed up with the timers and all the IAP's. Got a decent base but still getting pummeled by the Empire, won quite a few battles as well to be honest

    The AI is a joke. One piece of wall in front of my troops while a turret is mauling them? Shoot the wall, yeah, that's the best option *thumbs up*

    The AI is dumb! And the timers are too long. Wanted to complete the SP story at least but deleted out of sheer frustration.
    Build. Wait. Kill. Repeat.

    If it wasnt Star Wars i would have deleted this ages ago. The timers really are ruining it for me, the devs said they didnt want it to be the 'usual' type of timer based freemium game.

    Hello ? Again i have to wait SEVEN days to upgrade my HQ, or of course i could get it done asap with about $10 worth of IAP's as i would have to buy about 800 crystals.

    I do quite like the game due to the star wars aspect and battling other peoples bases etc but its SOO geared up to buy IAP after IAP after IAP. I'm tempted to give up, i've bought a few IAP's but now its still forcing me to buy IAPs. I cant keep playing it, i have to wait a few hours so i have enough coins for a new army (as i lose all my soldiers despite not dying in battles).

    Its sooooo set up to keep taking money from players. Its very well saying 'i havent bought an IAP' but are you seriously having fun when you have to wait 24 or 48 hours to get enough coins to build new soldiers etc ?

    It has been fun. Watching attacks on replay, adjusting base layout to maximize defense.

    Developing strategy to punch through other people's defense. I have enjoyed this aspect.

    The timers... They suck though. And some of the unit AI is atrocious. But you can kind of learn to position them to reduce some of the idiocy.

    To be fair its the same for everyone so youre not losing out too much. The soldiers/vehicles seem to head for any cannons first and then go for the main building. So i tend to use ships to knock out the guns first and the vehicles then attack the others

    Once all the guns nearby are gone they then seem to start attacking the buildings to get credits etc

    You don't lose any when you attack, but others come and steal. Arrange a better defense.

    This is a pvp game. How did you make it to a lvl7 HQ without realizing this...

    The info panel for each unit, tells you what each one goes after as priority. Step one is read. Thats part of strategy.

    What I'm talking about is sometimes they don't quite make it through an opening or around a corner and needlessly wail on walls.

    Well firstly i dont play many PVP games, secondly theres not exactly instructions for this part of it. I wasnt sure that when i buy IAP's that these can easily get basically taken away from me. Not everyone is the expert like yourself

    I cant do much else about my defense when some pretty hefty enemies are attacking my base, i have to now wait 7 days for my base to improve so i can then get more defenses.

    RTFM?

    Each unit has an info panel and tells you how they behave.

    They still sometimes are erratic, but the game documentation explains most of your issue.
