Saving up...?

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Saving up...?

How the heck do you save up Naq? Anytime I get up past 50B I get attacked and lose it all. All my upgrades cost in the hundreds of billions and it's a joke trying to race to build up enough to afford them without getting mobbed first.

Am I missing something here?

First of all are you using your bank? or alpha site / realm stronghold whatever it is called for you?

Re: Saving up...?

The bank will only hold 32 million...which is a joke. :P

I realize this sounds a lot like whining--it's not--I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. :)

Thanks for the quick replies!

Re: Saving up...?

anything above 20 billion, spend it. Whether its in your MS, UP, covert levels, etc.

Try to raid if anything. That'll boost your bank size quick.

If you join me as an officer I'll see what I can do about helping you out. I can teach you how to play the game and grow quick.

meaning, buy defences a few at a time, and sell them at once when you want to use the naq.
i might add, as you are probably refering to covert/AC levels, that if you are planning on ascending, i wouldn't go over 25 (26 MAX), for each, as you lose them on ascension anyway. if youre talking UP, i wouldn't go over 20k while still ascending, as you both lose it, and it makes for costlier ascensions.
about the bank, you can use youre market turns for an additional 10% to it's size. and of course, boost youre army size.

Re: Saving up...?

I'm still new to this game, but I just bought a multi hundred billion naq covert upgrade [by myself] by attacking multiple planets at once [you can get 100+ billion in 5-10 attacks]. I can give you more specifics/make a vid for youtube [<<will take longer] if you want to know more.

As far as bank size goes the above advice is about it when it comes to increasing it.

you can get 200+ bil in 5-10 minutes, not turns. question is, can you keep them?
and you can use tabs. open a couple, find good targets one each, then attack at once.
this would enable you to buy 24, 25, and maybe 26. no way are you gonna get higher that way.

What you say is true [made a mistake in my post >_<...*fixing*], but I don't see many people trying to get 27 without an alliance and/or CO. Seeing as he has a CO now he should be fine.

Tabs come in handy in this game no doubt, and, thank goodness, every major browser has them!

Re: Saving up...?

speak nicely to people with bigger banks, and ask if they will let you use some of the room ;-)
