What can I buy with these Investment credits?
I'm glad you asked!
Investments credits are used to pay for your squad, and special units.
Squads can be bought in the South-Western building. A minimum of 10 squads are needed in order to begin the game. A maximum of 10 squad contracts can be held at any one time. These are your armies in which you are going to control throughout the game.
Special units are basically your back up. Players may also wish to buy special units. These are located in the North-Eastern tent. Players can buy up to five special units. You buy special units with your investment credits.
Depending on what strategy you decide to play as will decide the special units you will want to buy. But we will get into that later on in the guide... Trying to make this noob friendly as possible.
So, You've got your 25,000 fire runes in your inventory, where do you take them in order to get investment credits?
Speak to Junior Cabet Maul at the entrance of MA. If you right click him you can get to it alot faster.
There you can trade all your fire runes for investment credits! Now idk the exact amount of credits you will get for this, but it will be quite a bit!
So take your investment credits and head over to the squad building (shown in the first picture above) and Make yourself an army!Deepened on what person you buy from will determine which type of squad you will get.
Now this is where the strategy comes into play. I'll explain the two parts there are.
First, if your the kind of person that likes to just afk a mini game or skill this one is for you!
Buy 10 LIGHT squids of your choice, I prefer Elvens squads as they have the least amount of life. Once you've got 10 squads, head over to the Special units table and buy 5 cannons.
So your set up and ready to go! Head down the MA stars next to the squad building. Once you click it will give you a choice of 4 game types. I recommend you choose the game type "Siege" Its basically a 4 team free for all, where the objective is either to be first to break down your side of the castle wall, or to kill all the other players in the game.
Click it, then an investment screen will pop up! This is basically where you can bet credits that you will win the game, FYI if you loose you will loose all those extra credits.. Imo don't do it.
Once that is chosen you get put in the waiting room while you wait for 3 other people to join.
Great now you're in the game!
First Strategy, the easy afk one.
You start off with your 10 squads.
You can move the camera around with you arrows keys. One by one select your squads and tell them to attack the side of the castle you are pointing towards. Simply click the squad, and click the wall. Do this to all 10 squads.
You need to keep them attacking the wall until the timer in the top right says "26 minutes", you have to play for atleast 4 minutes or you want get a rank, If your squads die before then YOU WILL NOT GET ANY RANK! Thats no bueno, all that work for nothing. You get pwnt, and I laugh. So please do this so I can laugh.
So if another team starts using all their special units on you, move some of your squads away so you still have some left. Basically survive for 4 minutes, or until there is 26 minutes left.
Now, you survived until 26 minutes right? Good you're on the right track =)
Now start using your own special units on yourself, and kill yourself. Literally, off your units! KILL THEM ALL MUAHAHAHAHA, sorry. I get excited about that. But, yeah. Kill yourself, BOOM you get a rank. WOOT WOOT, only 299 more games to go =)
one thing to take into consideration is that you cannon will go through one squad and hit your other squad for the same amount of damage. So, MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT ANGLE YOUR CANNON WILL FIRE TO HIT BOTH YOUR UNITS! If you miss that cannon is wasted, and congrats you're not very smart.
Once you've finished a game you will appear in a room, one thing you will notice is your squad tickets are X'ed out. Climb up the stairs and You need to go back to where you bought you squads from, right click the master squad guy that you chose, and click "manage". Then click "Resupply all" This will bring all your squads back to life! The game wont let you back into another game if your squads are all still dead =p
Once you've done that, you need to head over to the special units table and resupply your special units! You use them, they go away, you have to buy them again. You get the gist.
Once you're all stocked up on your squads and special units, head back down the stairs and do it again!
You can manage about 12 rank an hour AT MAX.
But what picture?
