World War Discussion

[Badshah]

First let me say that I hope this thread will not turn into a list of player codes. There's already a perfectly good thread for that.

What I am looking for is a discussion of the game by Storm8 entitled 'World War'. I've been playing this game for less than a week and am totally hooked on it. I play it 24-hours a day, and have to do 2 charges per day just to keep going. It is internet intensive.

The first time I looked at it I came way with a very bad opinion. This was mainly due to the fact that there is no animation- no actual fighting, as it were. Once I had given it another chance, my attitude completely changed. It is all about building your revenue stream, your base of operations and your army.

The bulk of my income comes from battles. I have a strong cash-flow because of this. I also have some very good real estate that produces 1/4 million gold per hour. That is my mainstay, but the big bucks come from 'hunting'. I hunt for enemies and when I find someone I think I can beat, I beat them, and beat them, and beat them. The profit potential is enormous.

One tactic I have learned is that, when someone beats me, I photograph all of their equipment and base. Then I reproduce it for myself, and add a bit. Oh, and I have yet to spend a penny. I am sure Storm8 doesn't want to hear that. I've done it the slow way, but finding fat targets helps a lot. Also, there are plenty who will shell out the dough for a bit o' instant gratification, if you don't mind my saying.

That's my take on World War. What's yours?

Sincerely,
Bad

Thanks to those who have posted comments other than their player codes. I guess I am looking for a 'discussion' of the game. Does anyone know if there exists a forum somewhere for that purpose? I haven't found one.

How do your stats come into play? What sort of calculations determine the winner?* How do your defenses affect the outcome when you attack? when you defend? Do you buy Honor Points? If so, how do you feel afterward?

I bought a billion Interstellar Kredits in EVE one time. Afterward I felt as though the game had lost all meaning. Nothing had any value when I could simply plop down my dinero and be rich in-game.

I am tempted to buy 600 Honor Points. It's only 19.99 and I could buy myself a some excellent real estate with the cash. (Honor Points = Cash if you visit the President). I guess then I could go around and kick some ppls arses. But today, most of my fun comes from finding opponents I can beat, and looting them. It's great when you walk off with 400k from someone lame enough not to have banked it. When I find those fellows I give them a sound thrashing and love every minute of it.

What happens if I just buy my way to power and strength?

These are the sort of things I want to know. If this is not the proper forum for it (apologies to the mods), then direct me, please.

Sincerely,
Bad
(or Badshah, either will do)

*How is it that you 'Win' if the loser has no cash, and you lose many extremely expensive units? How is that winning?

Hi. I am new to this game as it seems a lot are. I wanted to discuss Sanctions. What are they and why are they listed on their own page?
Thanks.

[Badshah]

I'm glad you asked. Welcome to my attempt at having a little World War discussion.

Sanctions are like a contract for a hit. If someone is making your life miserable and you are not able to take them on, head to head, you can sanction them. For as little as 10,000 you can arrange to have others, more experienced and powerful than you take them out.

I've been sanctioned a time or two (or three...). It doesn't hurt except that you lose all your health and have to either seek expensive medical treatment, or wait until you recover.

Thanks again for posting.

First I hope I never run into you, you seem like a pretty vicious opponent.

When I started I wasn't sure why the game was on the top 25. Like you said no graphics and not very flashy. I also wasn't happy considering after leveling everyone had more money and units than I did and many had more allies than me. So I reset the games a few times and tried different strategies, now I've built 25 supply depots 17 refineries and 7 war factories and I'm at level 9. The only upkeep I have are some medics and 2 choppers that are required for missions so my upkeep's less than 1% to also bring in around $250k. I'm building up my defense choosing the buildings that bring in the best defense for the money and rotating the depots refineries and factories. I've been playing mostly missions, saving my money and attacking someone if I barely have enough money for a structure.

I've been playing about 3 weeks and have looked all over for a chart of all the units and buildings, how much they cost, what they look like and what level you get them at, pretty much an overall picture of what's in the game, but haven't found any. So at the moment I'm working on a spreadsheet for Excel that will show you all that info as well as let you type in your own info and show your upkeep, income, the increasing costs for buildings depending on how many of each you'd have, project you income later and your chance of winning against an opponents army.

As far as attack and defense points. I'm assuming that 1 defense point = 1 attack point and you can only use structure defense when being attacked. So assuming your skill points are matched if someone has 100 defense power to use and you attack them with 101 attack power that means you should win, right? Or is there a win to lose ratio also? Like the ratio of losing a unit when fighting. I've found that paratroopers die quite often compared to others.

Thoughts... suggestions...
