Storm8 World War Game Starting Out

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Starting Out

When starting, recruit a maximum of 4 alliance members. This will keep your overheads low and you can only be seen by other players on your level with an alliance of 1 - 4 which means if you are attacked, it will only be from players with a small army. It also means that when you attack, it will be against small armies so giving you the chance of more wins

Don't comment on other players profiles. This cuts the chances of you being attacked by players of a slightly higher level or with a bigger alliance

You can still prepare for a bigger alliance. Post your own code on your own comments board. You can also post your code on The Just Calculate It database if and when you purchase the application from the iTunes Apps Store at a cost of $1.19. You can also post your code on Storm8 World War Add Me Forum

To start, I would advise going through the Missions, one at a time, never attack anyone, don't leave any comments on other players comments wall, until you reach level 7

At level 7 stop doing Missions and surf the sanctions wall and look for targets that will payout, for your level, a substantial amount, which you can invest, first in income and then in defense buildings

Still refrain from attacking, commenting or adding to your alliance. If you are attacked by other players, don't retaliate or comment them

It has to be said that surfing for suitable targets on the sanctions wall will at first result in very few kills, however, the more you do it, the more you will get to recognize suitable targets which pay out well for you to invest in your buildings

Look at the profile image on the right, at level 13 this player already has an income of $6+ million with no upkeep. $$ have been split between income and defense buildings with the emphasis on income

Fights won are from other players on the same level attacking but loosing, which helped this player to level up

Fights lost are quite high because with being such a low level, with an alliance of 4 and very little attack, attacking players with a level up to 90, on the sanctions wall will inevitably result it lots of losses

Kills are the amount of players that have been killed off the sanctions wall resulting in high payouts for you

Because players don't like the player they sanctioned being killed by a low level player who loses the attack but wins the sanction fee, the chances are that you could be sanctioned yourself by the same player who sanctioned the one you killed. Also, if you are surfing for a while, you could see a group being continuously sanctioned, you kill them, one after the other, resulting in the players you killed, believing you are a second account for the players who are placing them on sanctions. They answer this with sanctioning you, hoping to intimidate you into leaving them alone. Don't worry about dying or for that matter, being attacked by other players on your level. You will only lose a couple of $k each attack or kill which is more than compensated for by the payout you get from those high level players

Storm8 World War Game Skill Points

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Skill Points

To access your Skills Screen, go to Your Profile Button and then to Skills Button. This is where you allocate the skill Points you earn

Every time you reach a new level, you earn 3 skill points, each of which can be allocated to Attack, Defense, Energy, Health or Ammo

You also earn skill points from mastering Missions to Rank 1 and 3 (see below for amount of skill points awarded)

Missions Rank 1 Mastery

Tab #1 Rank 1 Mastery --> 3 Skill Points

Tab #2 Rank 1 Mastery --> 5 Skill Points

Tab #3 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #4 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #5 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #6 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #7 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #8 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #9 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #10 Rank 1 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Missions Rank 3 Mastery

Tab #1 Rank 3 Mastery --> 3 Skill Points

Tab #2 Rank 3 Mastery --> 5 Skill Points

Tab #3 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #4 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #5 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #6 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #7 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #8 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #9 Rank 3 Mastery --> 6 Skill Points

Tab #10 Rank 3 Mastery --> 3 Skill Points

When you are awarded skill points, you can invest them in any of the following;

Attack (Higher attack, the more likely you are to win when you attack someone)

Defense (Higher defense, the more likely you are to win when you're attacked by someone)

Energy (Complete more Missions more quickly, you need some points in here to complete some of the high end Missions)

Health (Increases your max health, meaning you survive longer)

Ammo (Use 2 Skill points to increase your Ammo by 1 unit, this allows you to attack more people more often)

It is unknown right now, how much of a bonus each attack and defense point provides, but attack/Defense Skill Points are more than Attack/Defense Unit Points. Apparently their value increases the higher your level, so 1 Attack/Defense Skill Point always has a higher value than 1 Attack/Defense Unit Point.

If this is true it means that Attack/Defense Skills are much more important than Unit/Building Attack/Defense.

Storm8 World War Game Missions

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Missions

All missions currently available on your level are shown on this screen

Each Country Flag has various Mission tab names, some different, some the same and some in a different tab order

Here is a list of mission and tabs for different countries

Mission USA UK Germany China Russia Tab #1 Americas Europe Europe East Asia Balkans Tab #2 Europe Atlantic Balkans South Asia East Asia Tab #3 Africa Balkans Africa Africa Europe Tab #4 Pacific Africa Atlantic Pacific Atlantic Tab #5 Mideast Mideast Mideast Mideast Mideast Tab #6 East Asia Americas Americas Americas Americas Tab #7 Atlantic Pacific Pacific Atlantic Pacific Tab #8 Baltic Sea Oceania Oceania Baltic Sea Oceania Tab #9 Siberia S. Asia S. Asia Europe S. Asia Tab #10 S. Asia E. Asia E. Asia Siberia Siberia

There are 10 Tabs to do missions, each becoming available at higher levels, each Tab has a number of missions to complete. To go to other Tabs, click on the tab you wish to view. More tabs are available by clicking on the arrow to the right of the viewable Tabs

Missions can be "mastered" by doing them a certain amount of times. Mastering a mission to rank 1 will grant you an additional "X" amount of experience (where "X" is the amount you gain from mastering that mission) and "Y" amount of money (where "Y" is an amount you can gain from mastering that mission)

By mastering all missions in a certain tab to rank 1, you gain a set amount of skill points

Rank 2 works the same as rank 1, except you get a Special Enhancement looted item once they're all mastered, instead of skill points

Rank 3 is similar to Rank 1, you gain a set amount of skill points once the missions are mastered in a tab to rank 3

Storm8 World War Game Units

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Units

This screen is where you buy all of your units that you use in battles and Missions.

Each unit is shown with a picture, a price, and usually an upkeep cost.

The price is how much it costs to buy 1 unit of that type.

The upkeep cost is how much it costs EVERY HOUR to keep that unit, which means that every time you buy a unit with an upkeep cost, that amount is deducted from your Gross income.

Expendable Units are units that are relatively low in purchase cost, have no upkeep and are therefore easier to replace if lost in a battle.

If you buy units and their total upkeep is higher than your gross income, your lower cost units will automatically be sold off until your negative income status moves out of the red

Units can be sold back for half the price you bought them for, Looted items have a pre-determined selling price

It's divided into 4 sub tabs. These represent the 4 unit types

INFANTRY UNITS

GROUND UNITS

WATER UNITS

AIR UNITS
