Game Builds
If you are still a beginner:
In the beginning, players must increase their gems production, craft gears, make research and increase buildings speed before choosing any turf specializations (Trap, Hyperfarm, Darknests leader, War Rally Leader or Bank). The basic development suggested bellow will allow the players to grow faster and efficiently, bringing also, more rewards and might. Sometimes, the basic development may look slow, however, it is not a waste of time. The glory only comes fast with the basic work done. So, below are following the basic things any turf should develop before specializing:
Researches to do first
1) Economy- All
2) Max Deposit I (Army Leadership)
3) Max Deposit II (Military Command)
4) Pact III (Familiars)- All
5) Monsters- All monster hunt researches must be done to its maximum level. The reason for this is that only monsters bring gears that increase significantly gathering, construction and research speed. Not only the gears, but monsters also give extra speed ups, gems, jewels, and resources for turf development. Do all the monster´s research and don't forget that there is a hidden monster research regarding energy at "military command" sector too.
Buildings
The following buildings are essential for increasing army limit, gems production and gears quantity:
1) Get castle to level 25
2) Get treasure trove to level 9: You will need gems to do any basic development (including academy level 25) or to keep your account shielded while you developing the basics.
3) Increase Workshop to level 25 to unlock the 3rd accessory slot
4) Build at least 10 infirmaries to max level. Reason: You must have enough beds for healing all your initial troops, because you won´t need to start everything form 0 if a bully come to burn you. Don´t do it if you are a gold hyperfarm.
Develop "the golden trio"
Increase to 'rank 8' and 'gold grade' the heroes: Sage of Storms, Scarlet Bolt and Trickster. They are the only free to play heroes who increase research and building speed, and also give bonus atk for general monster hunting.
