I play at kongregate.com rank 20-1 usually. Not many
Of us boost at kong and usually we run into major red boosters near us but we conquer them easily. So here goes my strategy.

This guide should start off the era before. (im going to call the world a fantasy one to simple it down)
So the era b4 get 330 blue tokens by voting

Ok so now the new era starts. I would pick the speed of the era according tp your activeness. if tou get on alot after school go with 3 ticks per hour (like me) Get in a good alliance!!! Stress the fact on them! STRESS!!! to get mines and keep them!

Boost light wood,light gold,and light workers.
Build metal mine lvl 3, oil lvl 1 , farm lvl 1 , build all the way up to the damage upgrade. Then build barracks, then build stables. You should now make spam squads.

Build them like this
1 Calvary Slashing Armour and 1 Calvary Slashing Damage

Build as many squads as you can. URGENT Check your oil supply, for it may be low. THe next step is to spam mines! YOU CANNOT SPAM MINES WITH NO OIL

Choose your mines carefully. Pick close ones, away from pros (check achievements).

After that retreat your units back to ur base. Spam more mines. THen upgrade oil and farm 1 lvl. Don't about scan PREDICT! Check the owner of the mine (if he has one) and check his stats.

Look at "Units Recruited" and "Units Lost". Check that number and then check how many mines he has. EStimate and always PREDICT THE WORSE SCENARIO! It's better to predict the worse scenario instead of hoping. Check the battle simmulator

Overnight people may take your mines. To help stop this, Make 1 damage slashing infantry. Put one on every mine. go to bed. Wake up and reconqer mines.

Tick Mark 50

By now you should have decent mine count and should have 1 dmg unit protecting them. Your alliance hopefully is also doing a good job at protecting them!

Start getting scan and make energy lvl 1. Take your spam squads and combined them from
1 calvary slashing damage and 1 calvary slashing defense
to
2 calvary slashing damage and 2 calvary slashing defense.

This will help because these are now for conquers not mines.

Check the people around you first by looking at their stats. Check if they have units. 2 options

If they have no units RUSH 1 defence infantry and just send it to them. Hopefully u get the conq

If they have units, check their achievements. Based on their achievements are they using armour, or actually using damage. This is judgement If you doubt yourself then scan them. Send your 1 squad of the 2 calvary slashing dmage and 2 calv slash def. At them and keep doing this

Leave just 2 calv slash dmg and 2 def calve slash on ur colony just to hold urself up.

Tick 75

Get range, and if you wish heavies (EXPENSIVE) Start making FULL SQUADS . THeir used for your actual army. keep them close for now don't expand until tick 150 or until ur alliance is ready.

Range Amount
for inf:
10 def 20 range
for calv
5 def 10 range
for heavi
3 def 7 range


Notice this guide is not exact. THere is a reason. YOU MUST ADAPT TO THIS GUIDE! It's your judgement. For ex. HUGE BOOSTER AROUND YOU...answer: focus on mines around him till he runs out of red, or if later in the game, leave more units on your base.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO!

Notice this guide doesn't focus on relying on your alliance. It helps keep to yourself while staying safe

P.S THIS TOOK LONG TO WRIT MAN DONT HATE ON MY SPELLING!

Pretty good guide, though Kong and .com are different.

This is probably why most of us don't take you guys seriously.

Achievements =/= skill
You know nothing about .com (we can't even attack without level 3)
No energy building until tick 50?
Rushing units?
Not looking for an alliance until the era starts?

.com and kong are completely different games, Bd.com may not be harder, but you cant have same strategy as you would on kong.

I can understand for no energy building.

but rushing units is bad, it takes too many precious workers.

and yes, we can't attack without lvl 3 farm, metal mine and oil wells.

and instead of making troops, why don't save up to build range? U don't boost red, the resource income is quite low and without a good team, u will not survive against the other boosters around you.

and about looking for an alliance, it's not necessary since u can, not always, but rarely, get into a good alliance. And I mean good is in top 5.

I never said rush. The only rush i said was the 1 defence soldier rush. It cost 3 workers and you only do it when you have to. Thats y i said adapt to the guide.

. You said i know nothing about .com. I do. At .com im not the best cuz i dont boost. I'm not used to boosters around. THis forum is not only for just .com so dont hate.

U said u cant attack without lvl 3...what does that mean? LVL 3 wat??? exactly
If your saying metal mine, my guide includes that

I never said absolutly anything about getting an alliance after the era starts. I just said get in a good,decent alliance. Thats it.

I've beaten boosters with this method. Just plan yourself right. Like you guys said Kong is different. Most pros dont boost, noobs boost. THey boost and make defense, so their easily beaten.

AGAIN LIKE I SAID! ADAPT!!!! Big booster, smart player. Save for range instead. Please read and think b4 critizing it

Please think b4 u post

Sigh. Yet more fuel to the flame of the misconception of Kong in .com eyes and vice-versa.

Try playing .com for 2 ticks before you talk. I'm not even going to answer you because everyone here knows exactly what level three's I'm referring to.

ive played kong and .com ....

you cant spam oil/metal mines/wells cuz there are too many people, and way more red boosters.

and no farm????
lol? farm is like the most important?

and if it was back be4 the update you didnt need lvl3 farm,oil, and metal on .com but now you do be4 you can attack.


but yes, tis a great strategy... IF YOUR ON KONG...

People always say the play style on kong is different to the play style on .com... If the two playing styles are just as good as eachother, then why, why oh why does this kong playstyle I hear so much about, not catch on in .com? I'm sure if it works, people would use it here? Unless it doesn't work against our playstyle... which means... oh nevermind.
