    The smarter you play, the less damage you are going to be taking. Personally I've got some totally new ideas for taking the bases down and minimizing my damage (I like to play the events too :D)

    New game mechanics, time for new strategy! Trust me, it's doable, and so far my favorite event yet.

    Another question: Do planes target randomly or do they go for the biggest cluster of units / most dangerous units?

    Correct, you need to keep your units defended from waves of air. The gap between waves is reasonable, but if you ignore the air completely or do a bad job it could pile up.


    You can, you could take out all defenses and units but that won't leave much XP for them to take as the defensive buildings and units hold the majority of the XP


    The formula behind the damage>XP is complex, but hitting a level 20 base and killing it completely will net you around 100 > 120 XP, I got 180 from a single level 30. The XP depends on the damage you do and how many defenses and units the base has (how hard it is)


    Damage = XP, if you half damage a gun turret you get half the XP you would if you destroyed it. You get XP in real time, no need to finish off a base. Though I recommend you do clean up to get the max XP and force another one to spawn.

    realy? cool than ill get the dog. mabee even something else thats small. thanks m8!

    mabee not all kixeye games are bad...mabee only battle pirates is a money scam...

    The only thing this changes for you, if you are a high level player, is hitting bases so low that you have no business hitting them. What's the phrase... try picking on someone your own size?

    Somewhere between 150 and 200, depending on what exactly the base has.

    But from the video there are too many air units to take down without having a full platoon of hercules or gatling trucks, which cant take down bases... so the only way to win against this without paying is to use mainly air forces to take down the bases, but this is nearly impossible for those of us that dont already have the elite warhawks.

    Why do you have to make the events so unfair every month?

    Um, Gatling trucks are Green(BEST) VS TBolts where as Tbolts are yellow(OK) VS tanks and Yellow(Good) VS Infantry. So my max Gatz should be able to defend my tanks against their Air attack. Might take a few tries to get used to it, but I'm confident in my game. I'd rather adapt to a new and changing game than sit in the same stale content. GoodJob Kixeye

    It also looks to me that the kondor will only be able to withstand 1 1/2 passes before it is toast. that being said it is still gonna be a game changer for sure.

    Nope, they get harder as you get more XP. We did this so lower to mid level players can get the XP needed for the low level prize without too much trouble but as you get more XP the air starts to kick in. The people competing for the Kondor or the top 20 bonus prize will be taking on the raptors and warhawks.

    It also means that as a high level player attacking a high level base you won't encounter raptors instantly and you will be able to evolve your AA strategy as you play.

    We is smart ;)

    Oh snap - that is bad ****... so it's a true reversal of the Gatling event. Evolving bases!! Well done, Well done - now I'm excited!!

    a problem i see is that when the air becomes to difficult people will just attack with air and pick off unprotected buildings for free xp. Besides that looks like fun!

    WHAT?!?! air gives no XP? this is gonna be harder than i thought...

    why couldn't the event have waited until after repair queqes (how do u spell it?)?
    My Ultimate Wish for WC: More strategies and units with different concepts, so people won't win by mortar baiting alone. :cool:

    Yep, it's not going to be easy peasy =P

    Events are expected monthly by all players, to live up to that, they had to push repair queues back a bit )=

    okay... one more question:

    kixeye said that the elite versions will be cheaper for people who unlocked it from past events. (sorry, idk how to quote; still working on it)
    but if u unlock the normal it in THIS event because u dont think ull get the elite, will the elite be cheaper later in the event if you change your mind? or will you have to rebuild ur xp all the way up 2 elite?

    The XP cost of the ELITE vehicles does not change, it's cheaper because you don't need to unlock the normal if you already have it.

    Normal Gat = 500
    Elite Gat = 500

    Total for someone who has the normal already = 500, total for someone who does not =1000.

    Hope that's clear.
