This game is full of noobs to gaming and gaming vets, its a fertile recruiting ground for earth empires.

Here's my assessment,

I began July 12, and before I left protection on day 3 I was able to build my "clan castle" and join the alliance.


I'm 6 weeks in, and I'm working on my level 7 TH with my defenses and research nearly finished. At this point advancement will slow down.

Getting Resources, Coc is similar in that it takes resources to grow, but in the game you get your income from gold mines or elixir buildings that harvest the resource, or you "raid for it"

When you raid someone you only get a portion of their resources, based on how well you attack them.
When you are raided, you only lose a portion of your resources, and if you lose over 40% of your buildings, you get a shield, none of your buildings come back weaker, and you can not be killed.



Clan wars,
Clan wars are setup in 10 vs 10 up to 50 vs 50 format.

You get a star for knocking down 50% of the buildings, a star for knocking out the TH, and 3 stars would be knocking down every buildings, within the 3 minute time limit.

So in a 10 vs 10, 30 stars is the max your alliance can get, the alliance with the most stars wins. And gets a winners bonus of resources to distribute to members.

Wars last 24 hrs, (following a 24 hr prep period.)
You get 2 attacks per war. So 6 minutes of attacking.
You can war twice a week.
All wars are setup by a matching algorithm.



PDm is 5-2, we've won all wars 15 members and under. and lost everytime we've gone over 15. We're currently fighting an alliance that has 21 war wins. We are drawing earth vets, and CoC noobs, that have high potential as gamers.


I really think that over time earth vets could establish a major fighting alliance, that would cause recognition of our skills, and people would look at our game, already the newer players talk about PDM's team working, and troop donation far exceeding anything they've experienced yet.


That being said PDM has a LONG way to go, as we're going to need a year or so to get our bases strong enough to compete against the best. Especially since we don't pay for gems.

As far as that goes, yes people can pay for shortcuts in building etc....but the gameplay is excellent without having to pay. And since the game doesn't reset over time you can climb the ranks without them:)

If you do play, DON"T spend gems, save them for builder huts (IE construction sites)

We have members of multiple alliances already, we have noobs from austrailia, england, us, and other places.

I'm having a blast, Come and join me and make new friends:)

PS, their are calls for an alliance server similar to what we have here.

So far the programmers are resisting, it, but I think its an eventual reality.

Servant, you still hiding out in Monsters?

Nope. I haven't played a set since I stepped down at LCN.

Oh, when was that?

Also, brilliant reverse recruiting pitch, you sly dog.

January? Christmas? Early Spring?

I don't know. I didn't write down the day:)

Close enough.

Oh, that's where you've been :P

I've been busy, moving, court issues involving kids, winning said court issues,
New place, new jobs, etc...

the raiding gives me something to do when the kids are asleep and I'm bored LOL.

Working on getting it set up, will find out more tonight and see about doing some stuff with it.

It's pretty fun, though I'm hoping we stop recruiting publicly into that alliance or at least put more quality control on who we accept.

Would be nice to get more EEers to join. I'm surprised there aren't any SoF or iMags guys who have joined, since the game is literally about war.

is it about war or is it about growing your economy/city?

People have this same argument about EE :P

Good luck with the kids, Servant.

It's about growing your economy/city as much as possible in between our weekly wars. In that time, you'll need to attack (raid) lots of other people for resources so you CAN grow your economy/city.

In other words, if you aren't making multiple attacks every single day, you're doing it wrong. At least for our alliance.

LOL @ H4

I have a clash of clans account maybe I should dl the game again .

Hey Servant. Funny to see you here recruiting for another game again, hahaha.

Hope things are going well.

IccyH

I actually followed Detmer's lead.

Tan, we've booted some of the members we accepted:). Unfortunately, with the Thousands of alliances in that game, if you don't accept someone, someone else will, so you have to accept then figure out if they're worth keeping or not LOL.

We've gotten some gems that way too

We also do have people asking about EE already.

They notice how we conduct ourselves, and how generous we are, and that we really do put alliance first.

I've not played CoC but I played Evony for a while. Very high proportion of weird people playing. Quite a bit weirder than Earth.

bonus

Servant get on and make ur hits already. I'm going to hit 18 in a few hours.

I play pretty regularly.

I am "Wulf" on there in a clan called "bowsers castle"... lvl 47 so far.

It is rather simple to play.

my phone is too slow for this :P

Attack once every 30 mins and you go faster. :)
The bad thing about this game is that so many people are spending their money for Gems. lol

Atryn. Join us :)

Servant - only if my kid and wife get bored. Right now we have a multi-family clan with young kids and we're keeping it a "clean" experience. ;)

Besides, I get plenty of ya'll here.

Hey, wasn't it a banable offense at some point to promote other games on the forums? My how times have changed!

(trouble-making)

i played about a week there, then my son created a clan, and i was "invited" to join him.

Holy fluff wall of text didn't read.
