How to Play Closed Alpha
Current settings and naming could be changed in the future if needed.
Strong base defense allows you to build your larger-scale plans, like establishing new bases or capturing someone else’s. In our following guidance article, we will talk about the weak sides of your base you should protect and the buildings and units you can use for it.
The most significant danger that can threaten you is that someone will destroy or even worse, capture your base. In those cases, your game within the current server is finished. The last article mentioned conditions that lead to destroying or capturing the base. Here they are:
The base is destroyed when all the buildings there have been destroyed.
The base is captured and proceeds to a new owner when its Expansion Hub is destroyed, and protection of the base goes down to zero.
You should do your best to avoid those situations at all costs.
How to develop a strong defense of your base?
Developing the security of your base requires taking care of a few key aspects such as having
- capable defensive troops,
- the stronghold of your buildings,
- the army of spies,
- Datacenter of some high level.
Defensive Army
Each robot and drone has a characteristic of defense against robots (ground forces) and drones (air forces). Creating your first robots, please pay attention to those parameters.
Train your robots and drones in the Ammunition Center to improve their attack and defense numbers. Remember to upgrade Ammunition Center as well to increase those qualities.
A Shield is a structure that improves the defense of all units located on the base. The rams are a significant threat to the Shield. In case of attack, units of ram robots will be the first to invade. Their goal is to destroy the Shield, decreasing additional defense for your units.
Armor of your buildings
The Fortification Center allows you to improve building defense against the artillery. Upgrade it to increase the protection of all the buildings on your base, including the Expansion Hub and Shield.
Upgrade the Nexus to be able to quickly recover after the attack, upgrading and rebuilding with higher speed.
Army of spies
Spies are the only protection from spies.
In case of a spying attack, if there are no spies on your base to protect all your top secret information, the attacker spies will get the info about your base.
If there are spies on your base, they will fight with enemy spies.
Enemy spies can have losses or die during the operation. Defensive spies never die.
In case of an enemies’ spies’ loss, they will die.
In case of an enemies’ spies’ victory, they will get the info to the owner.
Digital Security with Datacenter
The key thing you should care about while managing an army of robots is to protect your base against a hacker invasion. Your Datacenter is the building that allows you to restore the base’s protection in case hackers have attacked it. The higher the level the building is, the faster protection recovery will happen.
Units of the hacker kind are the only ones which can break your base’s protection. Decreasing that protection, while the Data Center enables recovery of your base protection points.
Destruction of the Expansion Hub is another condition that needs to be fulfilled by the enemy in order to capture your base. So, please do your best to protect your Expansion Hub with army and fortification.
In the next chapter, we’ll discuss capturing the base in more detail.
