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

Looted Items

Looted Units

Looted Units

Loot are special units that you can only get in 3 ways:

1. Some Missions have a "Chance of Loot". This means that when you complete the Mission, you have a chance of getting a special unit.

2. Sometimes Storm8 offer items as a reward for installing another of Storm8's Games.

3. Mastering all Missions in a certain area to level 2

Looted Enhancements

Of all the Looted Enhancements, the three that are of most benefit are 'Precision Guided Munitions' which will give you 8% more damage to opponents, 'Mercenary Arms Unit' which will give you 5% discount on future Unit purchases and 'Mobile Sustainable Brigade' which gives 5% discount on unit upkeep

If you plan to do a lot of Missions, then 'Military Advanced R & D' will come in handy giving you a 5% more chance of gaining a looted item

All others are a matter of choice dependent on your type of gameplay

Storm8 World War Game Alliance

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Alliance

Building your alliance is an important activity

For each level you can use five of your allies. Every ally you have gives you the ability to use six units in attack or six units in defence. So at level 10, you can only use 50 allies. You might have 100 allies, but the other 50 can't be used until you've reached level 20

The best and easiest place to find allies is on the Battle screen, but here you can only see players who have chosen different country flags to your own. Many people only want allies who fly their own country flag, for whatever reason. Where do you go then? The answer is the Sanctions screen. This has the benefit of putting you in touch with people who are usually very active in the game. This is invaluable because you may need to call on them at a later date

Before you go writing or pasting your code on everyones comments page, look through their comments to see if they have rules about who can or can't join their alliance. Many players post their alliance code on their own comments board and ask other players to add them, often penalizing players who don't read first. Put yourself in their shoes! You are active, in the middle of a conflict that involves you and some of your allies. You are all communicating with each other via each others comments board. Every Tom, Dick and Harry come along and post their codes on the comments board, pushing important messages and links off the page. Wouldn't you be annoyed? I am at level 100+ and if I'm looking for allies, I always look at least 5 pages back on the other players comments board to ensure he hasn't posted his code. If he has, I will use his code on the recruitment page. If he hasn't I will post a simple request with my code, eg, 'can't find your code & can't remember if we're allies. If not, please add me, my code "!*?*!" '

While you're looking through the comments, reading them also gives you an idea of what the player is like. If he gets lots of abuse, it might be better you don't ally with him as you may become a target through his actions

How many members can I have?

Your Alliance size is currently restricted to 2000, HOWEVER when you attack/defend, you will only USE 5 times your current level. Technically, the largest Alliance you'll ever need (until they raise the level cap above 300) is 1500 members.

How many members should I have?

I would advise you to have an Alliance of only 4 (including yourself) at the lower levels, this lowers the amount of units you need to defend yourself (while still keeping you in the top of your Alliance Bracket), which in turn lowers your upkeep

However, once you start getting to the Higher levels, your Alliance Bracket may break, this means you have to quickly gain as many Alliance members as possible, and quickly deploy units for them to use.

Alliance Brackets

Alliance Brackets are groups of enemies with about the same alliance members as each other, this groups equal enemies together, they are generally 4-5 alliance members away from each other, for example: 1-4, 5-9, 10-14 etc.

Alliance Brackets begin to break at the higher levels where there are less members, they break to a point where you can have people with 100 members attacking people with 4 members, it is inadvisable to keep low members when the brackets break

Storm8 World War Game Allies/Units Formula

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Allies/Units Formula

The maximum amount of allies you can use in attack or defence is your current level x 5
Example, if you are level 20, you can use a maximum of 100 allies (level(20) x 5(allies))

The maximum number of units you can use for attack and/or defence is your current level x 5 allies x 6 units
Example, if you are level 20, you can use a maximum of 600 units (level(20) x 5(allies) x 6(units))

If your alliance is lower than the maximum then each ally will utilise a maximum of 6 units each
Example, if you are level 20 and you only have 25 allies you can use a maximum of 150 units (25(allies) x 6(units))

Storm8 World War Game Statistics

Storm8 World War Game on iPhone & iPod Touch

Statistics

Statistics, that's all they are. They hold no real significance to the game other than for your own personal feelings

However, some players view players with a lot of lost fights or a lot of deaths or both, as players who are active and willing to battle and therefore, worth having in their alliance

Bad statistics can also be the first sign of a player with inadequate defence and/or attack capabilities
