    After the promised investigation, the thing is that most of these players were technically not "cheaters". To put it in a simple way, with the past flaws that existed and the work we performed on servers, some players were just attacked by a huge amount of opponents (sometimes simultaneoulsy).

    This resulted that they were sometimes able to level up very quickly in certain rare cases, or most of the time, to go sky high in the ladders. For example, that's how a level 3 player could have been sent to a 4.000 Elo rank.

    This problem (and many others) has been addressed last week-end and should be progressively disapearing in the coming days.

    We have things in the pipeline for future updates that should be interesting for you!
    But for now, priorities first. We're still fixing and improving what is already in your hands.

    Plus the server side work, an update containing bug fixes and tweaks should be submitted very very soon for approval to Apple.

    Are you talking about the "Starter Pack"? If so, yes. We just made it available longer for players unable to access it the first time.
    You should see it in-game now. We made it 5 days (instead of 3) available since the account creation.

    So for the first registered players since the game's release, that let you until tomorrow evening to access it if you wish to.

    Yes, it was called something else though. It included a feature for "making your name gold" among in-game currency and items. :D It will never be available again?

    That could help in normal case. But for now, the way it has been built, it shoud not. And we're going to work on it because it's obviously not cool. We would like to make it possible to rename and/or erase and start from scratch again (which is normally now impossible).

    Normally, when you enable iCloud or connect to Facebook, your nickname and save are sent to the cloud and always have the priority on the local one. So if you start again and connect to Facebook or let the iCloud feature enabled, it would restore your previous save. So be careful until it's modified (no ETA yet for that).

    If you want to start again, erase the game, re-download it and do NOT connect with Facebook nor iCloud.

    In any case, if the method described by Aitherios works, please let us know because it would be weird oO
    Thanks!

    I replied to him/her because I'd already done it. :) During the server issues and whatnot, not knowing it was a server issue, I tried everything to try to get started including changing my name and color. To my dismay it worked after I changed my name and color, which I didn't want.... Haha!

    So I tried many things to restart the game, and that's what worked for me.

    Cards are collected to unlock Mercs. And Mercs are awesome units. A game changer (literally).
    By collecting cards for a Merc, you progressively reduce its cost in Prisms in the shop. When you have all the dedicated cards of a Merc, he costs nothing anymore and you can unlock him permanently.

    With the next update, you'll have a modification of the tutorial that explains this better by showing you directly on the shop.

    Other cards allow you to unlock tittles that you can see as small icons in the ladders, for example.

    Could you please MP us your nickname? Did you try to connect to the game on different devices via Facebook or the same Game Center account?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the info! Anyone having trouble in the shot? Trying to buy the Gatling for 5 prisms and I keep clicking yes but nothing happens. I have 60 or so prism.

    Good to know Hero's will help against tough defences. I've been winning this morning with just troops so I'm learning.

    Could you explain gold? Do you steal it? Is it determined on your score/ how much opponent has/ ect?

    Yes, we're talking about the same thing here: the Starter Pack. And it's available again until tomorrow evening (depending on your timezone) for the first players that created their account since the release date last Thursday.

    Globally, all players now have five days starting from their account creation to benefit of it if they wish to.

    I haven't had any trouble with the shop but I also haven't used any Prisms to purchase things yet. The Gatling mercenary is actually really easy to get (only 3 cards). Also if the opponent hasn't logged in for a while, you can take their gold that their base has accumulated by attacking their base.

    Okay, thanks for your quick and prompt responses to our questions!

    Promising game but

    Ankama,

    First I just wanna say thank you for your game and thank you for taking time to talk with us on here.

    I saw this game on App Store and downloaded it as it reminded me of my childhood toy soldier days.

    It's a very promising title! I have many clan members from clash of clans that I can bring over to the game and will once it gains more features.


    Are there any plans for ability to be able to control more units in our attacks ? Like ability to use artillery, tanks, and air support along with our rifleman guys?

    Also clan wars is a must!? Plz! The ability to add buddies to our alliance and work together.

    Any chance for a clash of clans style base building ? Like adding walls and more features for raiding people ? That would be amazing. I understand the economy in this is very simple but maybe there are things planned?

    There are a lot of cool defense options but not very many units and tech tree for attacking. And we cant really harass economy because it's just 1 value (coins)

    Your right! I just unlocked the Gatling without using prisms. He's pretty neat. Makes guarding capture points a tad easier. Can't wait to get the tank defence merc. ( fires missiles at em )

    So there's no other IAP in this game besides the initial "support" package? That's legit. Which means you have to earn your offense / defence.

    I feel like this game is unique and different from the strategy games and clones. Why would you want to make it more like clash of clans? If anything base building would just make it closer to the clones that this game is shying away from. Hehe

    This game has perfect offense and defence mechanics. Everyone's happy with them so far! Let's keep this game unique. Besides a bit of balance id love to see heroes and unique defensive items. Base building / towers / town halls ect wouldn't really fit.

    Man, so far I haven't seen my gold drop even though I've been losing my defenses. I don't know for sure though, sorry!

    :D

    Anybody have tips on getting good grades on attacks? I keep getting D or C on every victory and I only make 3 gold per battle.. And seeing how how long each assault takes.. Gonna take me weeks to get decent amount.

    Well if you keep attacking you'll build it up quickly. I agree some defences are expensive to upkeep like tanks and units. After you win instead of going to town just click the other button (only if you win) buttom left and it'll put you into another fight right away. I'm level 14 or 15 and can make 9 on average now. Sometimes extra if I'm lucky.

    Tips: if you see two groups don't kill one and than wait for the other. Try to go into the middle to kill two flag carriers at once. Than tap them for a combo for metals. If a flag carrier goes down you have 2-3 seconds to pop him. Don't pop him to soon, you might be able to get a combo if you wait a split second, kill another, than tap both.

    I usually get c's and b's. It shows you after battle. Capture quick, keep survivors ( don't let your units get pooped on ) and strategize your units for maximum combo.
