Thanks guys. Now that I am in, what is the default donation? In COC my clan has a fit it we donate Giants or Barbs so we default to arch or Dragons.

at this point, whatever works IMO

Good point, in the rebel side of the house I typically give a wookie & 3 of the troop guys (not sure what they are called). Not sure that they make much of a difference, I quite requesting this weekend as donations were low and didn't seem to move the needle either way.

 

[Billy Bats]

So I built a hero command and have it standing by but cannot select it for mobilization.

Ok Nevermind, can't use them on missions, just attacking p2p.

I have been focusing on trying to move into the top 50 players on the site. The lowest score is around 2400. I am currently at 980 so I have been raiding a ton to try to build my score. I am not sure how they calculate that score, but I think it is a combination of your medals plus some number involving the levels of the buildings in your base. When I raid I usually get between 3-5 medals per battle as I am trying to focus on battles I can win. It has been slow so far, but I have closed like 500 on the lowest guy. Not sure if it is feasible or not, but it would be badass to get into the top 50 just once.

As for defense, I put one of each storage in my base and surround my HQ with all of my cannons. I am successful with about 75 percent of defenses and have actually gained like 150 medals this way. They will get some resources from me, but by putting one of each type behind cannons they have to decide if the risk is worth the payoff.

I have been using an army that costs 9400 to produce and I only attack bases that net me more than that. I use the vet AT-ST, 4 bikes, 4 rider dudes, 12 stormtroopers and 6 scouts. The best thing I see is dropping the stormtroopers close and the AT-ST right behind them. The turrets lock on the stormtroopers and the AT-ST has about 5 seconds of free shots. Can take out most of the front row of turrets without getting shot.

I think the squad troops system is still too screwed up. I constantly have troops just disappearing. I'll go raid, not use them, and suddenly they're just gone. Makes no sense.Once we get people upgraded to Barracks L6, that changes things because the Sniper will be excellent defense against Heroes.

 

[James Daulton]

How can you pick which players to raid? It just matches me up and drops me in.

Here's another forum where there is a ton of info:

https://www.playdomforums.com/forumdisplay.php?566-Star-Wars-Commander-(Star-Wars-Commander)

Particularly, there is a thread about the top 50 and it seems it is filled with people with level 3 bases you are maxed and won't upgrade. They just keep earning medals from getting attacked.

The medal system is broken, the leaderboard is completely overrun with low-level rebels who never attack.

From a developer:

We're aware of the problem with players climbing the leaderboard on defenses only and investigating how we want to solve it. We haven't come to an agreement internally yet, but I wanted to let you all know that the discussions are happening.

Another comment:

By my count 34 of the top 50 are rebel players who have an attack win to defense win ratio of .1 or less. (They have 1 or fewer attack wins for every 10 defense wins)

Lolz

Nice find on that forum also. Wonder why the devs dont check in here

First day of work tomorrow. No wifi. Is it worth 168 crystals to finish my hq5 now and start upgrading

 

[rick6668]

Is everything else upgraded?

everything but squad center and two barracks that I don't plan on upgrading right now. Decided against it even though I'm maxed at credits and alloy. Maybe tomorrow morning if I don't lose too much.

 

[beer 30]

So Chapter 8 is the end of the storyline for the Rebels (I assume similar for the Empire). Guess I just sit around and raid now. Waiting on HQ5 to finish up then the long slog to upgrading everything. I upgraded all my walls to 3 last night just to blow through some alloy.

 

[James Daulton]

My stupid walls are set randomly since I had no clue when I first started this thing. As has been noted, moving them is virtually impossible. Just give up or do they provide enough strategic value that moving them is worth the hours of torture?

it took me a couple of minutes to redo my base. Are you in edit modeAlthough, low level walls are worthless. Heck, level 4 walls are basically worthless

I sat at 150,000 of each all night and was not raided once. How is that possible

People must be skipping you maybe, I don't know. I didn't get raided with 150,000 of credits, Everyone, ask to donate and I'll send Dark troopers. I have 16 hours before a droid is available and no way to spend the credits.

People don't give a #### anymore?

I can't be offline for a minute without getting attacked. I redid my base last night to move the walls around since they are ineffectual. Not sure if it will work or not but it gives my attackers something different to look at as they wipe my base. New base

Can someone explain the shields to me? Half the attackers can just walk right in, half get stoned. Have no idea how those things work.

Seriously? I've been on since day one and I've been attacked like 5 times total.

Yea, I usually have full or at least large piles of credits/alloy so I know I'm a target but I never seem to run across any bases similar to me where there is double digit loot available. I found one this morning but only after clicking thru for 5-8 minutes. I read some of the scores you guys see and how you never get attacked and I wonder what ####### server am I sitting on?

I wonder what the split is between empire and rebels.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I wonder what the split is between empire and rebels.

According to the developers on that one board linked to, it's pretty close to 50/50. But it is interesting that there seem to be a lot of complaints from Rebels that they are constantly attacked. Some theororizing that it's simply the nature of people choosing the "evil" Imperials.

I'm set as a rebel and virtually every time I'm attacked it's by the empire. Those damn black walker things mow through my defenses.

rebels attack empire and vice versa. The vet atst is super overpowered. In fact, when I get home today to my hq5, my first action will be to upgrade my lab to get him to 5. Then I think ill go with the hero center to get the at at vet. Im hoping I can use both in battle. But cant even populate two vet atsts so I dont know

I can guarantee that the ONLY people attacking you are Empire players. The game is setup so that Rebels can only attack Imperial forces and Imperials can only attack Rebels.

If you want to stop the vet AT-STs (black walker thingies) from mowing you down, make sure you have 3-4 rocket turrets setup.

 

[Jed]

If you are a Rebel... Chapter 6 challenge 6 is literally impossible to 3 star. I've tried it probably 50 times, then looked up info on it. Nobody has 3 starred it on the internet. Pretty lame.

I'm on 6-3 and couldn't even take down one of the turrets with a couple of lvl 1 hover tanks and a ton of lvl 4 wookies. I fully upgraded the hover tanks and will try another tank rush tonight.

Funny thing is, even though I failed in my first two attempts last night, I log in and the game has suddenly given me two stars on it and moved me on to the next mission.

I just blew through them and finished, got my one star and moved on. You go up against vet atst thing. I managed to get through it after about 4 attempts and concentrating fire in the direction it came from. Rockets finally took it down but I only have 2, thinking I'm going to swap 2 more turrets out to give me 4 rockets. With HQ5 finishing up tomorrow I think I'll have a few more turrets.

Once those damn black walkers of death started laying waste to me I went out and converted to 3 rocket turrets. I'm now upgrading each of them to level 4. Next I'll be upgrading my shields to level 4 and I'll be ready to laugh at the empire scum! (safely hidden behind my shields of course)

It's easily countered via rocket turrets. I think early on people build their defenses to counter the way they attack. Ironically, that's the very opposite of what they should be doing.

 

[beer 30]

Logged in with the specific purpose to see how long it would take to get attacked. About 25 minutes. I have 61,716 in credits & 38,802 in alloy. I was attacked by Darth vader, he got 61% on me. 4 rockets are money, upgrading to lvl4 now.

wtf, was there an update today. Vader 1!1!1!1!1

 

[trogg78]

I have my walls split up to focus troops into my strongest defense. I also built my command around debris. I use the debris to create space for my turrets from the walls. The debris also slows down the attack.

 

[AcerFC]

Holy cow. Came home and still no attack. Maxed resources for 15+ hours. Lab and hero upgrading and 2 blast turrets built.

[BroadwayG]

Just started my HQ5. Scrooge McDucking in gold right now. Have one shield generator upgrade and 3 turrets to upgrade in the next 4 days.

PS What is the specialty of the Lizard rider in empire? I'm seeing a lot of these in my defenses.

 

[AcerFC]

The one thing ive noticed is that the lack of walls makes the strategy behind raiding non existent. Even if I was going for medals, it would be relatively easy. They need to figure something out for that.

I think ill build my space command next

The big question will be if I have the patience to not use crystals

 

[rick6668]

Just got raided 3 times in an hour. Lost 40K in credits and 7K in alloy.

Just went through my collectors and I'm almost at max on both again.

Thanks to whoever said to use Chewy and the "goblin-like-troops". Since I did that, I went from having no clue how to attack to demolishing every base I go against.

When I posted that I think I was referring to the plain Rebel Soldier but I've since started using (4) Rebel Pathfinders in conjunction with them as they specifically target collectors & storages. They have better health than the Rebel Soldier, are quicker and don't get distracted by the other noise on the base.

Ok, I've been using Steriods-Chewey, some wookies, the pathfinders, and speeders to great success lately.

 

[Billy Bats]

What level is your hero base that you're able to use 4 Chewies?

 

[rick6668]

Just saw that they have an offer for crystals for signing up and depositing $10 on fanduel.

1520 crystals... could get another droid, haven't signed up for fanduel yet.

[beer 30]

What level is your hero base that you're able to use 4 Chewies?

Can only use one Chewie but you can produce Wookie Warriors. My army is Chewie, 6 Wookies, 4 Pathfinders, remainder Rebel soldiers. I usually come back with at least 2 wookies and a handful of soldiers.

 

[beer 30]

10 minutes. I was offline for 10 minutes and got attacked. I am going to put the wood to you Empirial ####s pretty soon!

 

[boots11234]

Can't believe anyone likes this game the ai is dreadful compared to coc. Yeah let's shoot walls when we are gearing mowed down by the turret behind it.
