Now that I actually know how the battle system works I've been attacking players without mercy. It's not even about trying to make gains at this point. Every account that attacks me will be reduced to dust. Except for @beautifulbullies of course, I think she's learned her lesson.

Here is my most recent conquest:

Oh really, you think you can attack me huh? Deflected.

Here we can see that I wiped out all his knifers, gunmen, hitmen, snipers, and 5/6 bazooka

Now I kill his ninjas with some surplus gunmen, and his last bazooka with a sniper.

The rowdies were in my way, so I murdered them with 15 snipers.

BOOM!!! I bought way too many bazooka guys to finish him off, but it was worth it. This attacked killed a week's worth of units in an instant.

Here's another fight I did recently just for funzies:

A net loss, but still a huge discount for destroying an entire army.

Here's an actual net gain. By using one extra rowdy I was able to tank a big hit on round 2.

What's next?

@drugwars needs to change quite a few things with the game, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are so busy.

• There is still no reason to horde resources.
  • How many accounts do we see with zero units and zero resources to steal?
  • The main incentive of the game should revolve around taking risks in return for reward.
• The game needs daily quests.
  • Hearthstone does this pretty well. Give out resources based on a quest.
  • Example: Kill 10 bazooka guys to gain 100,000k of all resources.
  • Example: Attack 3 players with units to gain 3 mercenaries.
• The ranking system is terrible. @ngc has been number one the entire time.
  • The game should be king of the hill.
  • Rankings should change on a daily basis and include a small reward.
• Dead accounts need to stop producing resources.
  • Farming dead accounts is the main way the most successful players in the game are advancing.
    • I was spamming the attack key on an account that was about to be unlocked and a bot still beat me.
    • We should consider randomizing the immunity timers so they can't be gamed.
• Finding accounts to attack is extremely flawed.
  • I don't want to see accounts that have nothing to steal and no units.

Parley

I also think it would be interesting to add a negotiation feature. If you wipe out someone's army you could then start negotiations for "protection money" and the like.

Balancing issues.

I have a very strong feeling that Hitman should be buffed. I think he should have more HP and be harder to kill (30 hp). I also think he should be able to steal more resources than any other unit. 500-1000 would make sense.

All in good time. The game seems to be developing nicely atm.

I guess I'll go more in depth about my strategy at a later time.
