Need to attack more to get more crystals. Vicious circle.
Also a PSC statue is a big help.

Dr. Terror provides nearly all my attacking income. Basically I only get big upgrades started on the days he shows up.
I am working on getting the boats to 16 -- have 2 of the 6 there already. The wood is holding me back. I'm almost always maxed on iron, wish there was some way to trade that in for wood.

I just reclaimed a PSC for a RR
I also thought that having a lot of medals was a bad thing, no? And there's no way to ditch them, right?

the only way to ditch them is by being attacked, which doesn't always happen.I just reclaimed a PSC for a RR

what worked for me was laying low, having a couple RR, and just attacking Dr Terror. Eventually your army will be tough for your medal count, and then there is no problem.
Also, are you in a task force? The rewards from that can be pretty significant.

It's actually my 8-year-old son's base. I started 'helping' him and now I am probably more involved in it than him. But because it is his base, we've told him the task force portion was off limits. We don't need him chatting with internet strangers yet. So I miss out on those rewards too.

get in the FBG task force. It's generally PG. We haven't been doing quite as many ops as we used to, though. Things seem to be slowing down a little bit.I'm there now (bolded).

I lucked out and got a 37% defensive building attack damage MP this morning. At this point I'm pretty satisfied with my masterpieces and am considering dumping my 69% powerstone chance MP for more GBE (I've got a 12%GBE guardian ready now).
But on the flipside I might upgrade to HQ18 in the next few weeks so I'll want to hoard powerstones for a new MP. What to do...

This past week has been brutal for me. I was crushed 5 times and lost boatloads of loot. On the bright side I lost about 10 medals.sartre said:I just reclaimed a PSC for a RR

I've gotten the impression that most people here only use one blue defense statue if they use any blue statues at all.
More than one way to skin a cat though.

save it until you build HQ18 and upgrade sculptor. Having extra powerstones/statues doesn't cost anything.
Actually, I'd keep the 69% power stone MP. That is pretty good.

Because we swung out of our boots and got crushed. Wasted a lot of op points on those tough really tough ones we did and got next to nothing for it.thecatch said:
I've got both, defensive building damage @ 21% and building health @ 26%. They help a lot IMO but just starting out I think it's more important to have resource statues working for you. Once your main income switches from your own island to raiding for loot then you should cultivate the other statues and ditch the green ones.
This is still one of the better posts I've seen on power stones and when to keep what.

We did upper lip 3x and destroyed it completely once. I don't think we were way out of our league on that one. There were complaints about the others being too easy.

Yeah, I'll probably hang on to my 69% for a while. Or maybe I'll keep it forever so I can hoard powder to use when I get to higher levels.

We are very capable of beating a tougher OP, but our participation isn't good enough yet. Lots of unused attacks still.

I use both ice MP statues. Hell, I still use a green MP (21% resource production).
But I'm more of a farmer than attacker. I typically own all the resource bases on my map and rely on my ice MPs to defend them.

Yea i guess that's what I meant by that comment, there are 12-15 of use who attack so it makes it difficult to take on a tough op when you use 9-10 attacks on one base. With some of the new blood maybe it will pick up but it will be a while before they will be meaningful contributors.
EYLive
Footballguy
Agreed. If the new guys don't mind sacrificing troops, taking out mines is a great way to contribute. Sort of like scouting tough bases for traps and tesla spots in Clash of Clans.

The FBG's could have a much better task force if they just kicked non-attackers. What fun is it to be in a task force that doesn't attack.
Sartre - if you beat hammerman bases you get Dr T on more days, or can defend, or war factory (though at your level would just be more Dr T's)

before my army was worth a whole lot, I waited on ops until I saw targets I knew i could take down...looking for towers with <3k hit points, for example. Occasionally, a base will be left where zookas can attack the tower without taking on any fire - an easy kill. Take those down, and let the higher level armies deal with fresh bases.
moleculo
Footballguy
we've talked about it, but it's not like there is a line of people waiting to get in our task force. If they contribute intel, it's probably worth keeping folks around even if they are freeloaders.
cincredfan
Footballguy
Totally disagree as the reward is distributed through your task force
(ie resources are divided by fewer players)
I am guessing that there are several members who would be willing to rejoin the task force if that was done (for the longest time I would have been 1 but happy currently though wasn't really happy with tf until last month or so)
PlasmaDogPlasma
Footballguy
The amount of loot is only affected by the task force's maximum size. 25 in our case now. If a max 25 TF only has 20 members, they won't each get more loot.

Whoever wants to step up feel free. I couldn't tell you who is active and who isn't.
I did just kick off sculpture upgrade though, 9th statue on its way! So I got that going for me

did a quick search. The last two ops we ran, we did not complete. The following did not participate in either op:
Major Masters
D|ckies
bogart
Myk
Grey Pilgrim
dirtyduzn
tamtam
Warsteinner
I don't think it's time to boot folks, but I will start tracking who isn't participating when we don't close them out. I think some of these guys may have quit playing all together.
On our last op, the last base was holding on by a thread. Only 14 of a possible 25 members attacked.

can you tell from visiting their base if they've been active lately? Most i remember but Major Masters is a mystery to me, never heard of him.

Guys, you can try PMing me on here if I haven't attacked late in a war. I try to attack in every war, but sometimes I just forget to look at the game for more than a day.

So it's 100% unprotected in the collectors/boats? Looks like I had that completely wrong. Thanks for setting me straight.

Let's revisit my earlier statement...not exactly. Loot is determined by (((((Stored Loot - Loot in Vault) + Loot in collecters) - Vault Protection Percent) + Bonus Loot) - Reduction Factor) + Statue Bonus per the Boom Beach Wiki so it appears it doesn't really matter as the vault provides a % of protection for storages, resource buildings and bases you have. Personally i collect them but it's more an OCD thing for me.

yeah. If you click on the task force command (star icon on the home page screen) and the "my task force" tab, it lists everyone in the task force, their experience level, VP count, and intel. At the very bottom it says, "intel collected by each member is shown next to their name (count resets weekly)."

Footballguy
Kinda what I was thinking as well EY. Give everyone the opportunity to check in either there or here through the week. If nothing is heard then kick them with the thought they are always welcome back anytime, no question just need to participate in ops. I suspect most have walked away as we all kicked it around a while back when the game was kind of stagnant.
moleculo
Footballguy
I don't think it goes in increments of 5 - I think it's 5, 10, 25, and 50, and I'm not sure if you can change it around.
The only real issue with having deadbeats in the TF right now is it prevents anyone else from joining up (we have 25 now). When we had 20 or whatever, there was no reaason to boot anyone - it's not like there was a line here @ FBG trying to get in.
EYLive
Footballguy
I see. If there's no 20 member level, should we still kick the inactives and open up the TF for active randoms? We can set the medal requirement at a level that ensures mid-high level guys that will contribute to OPs right?
... in theory...

Took down Terror Level 7 for the 1st time last night!
Level 47 - medal count 460
(Have maxed out HQ, Sculptor, Vault, Gunboat, Radar, and 1 landing craft)
I'm a broken record, but this game changed completely once I ditched all blue and green statues and focused on raiding. I used to do my best to keep my resources below what my vault protected so I wasn't worth attacking...but now I keep my map clear of CPU bases and am happy to have tons of resources that can be taken because it makes me a good target to keep my medal count down. Sure, I might lose 300k stone and iron in a couple raids, but the RR statues get me all the big upgrades I need no problem and because I'm attacking so much I'm usually 50-75% of the way there before going on a raid for the next upgrade.
This strategy is getting me 50+ intel every week and increasing my crystal farming immensely because the less CPU bases you have on your map the better chance of one popping up.
Statues
Red Health - 41% (mp+g)
Red Damage - 21% (mp)
Purple PSC - 87% (mp+g)
Purple GBE - 52%(mp+g)
Purple RR - 74% (mp+g+g)
