Kill Units Before Towers: Especially when attacking other players, NEVER attack towers and units at the same time, as this is a great way to lose all of your units. This is a great way to get gold early on. Go back to your empire, and you will have received the gold you got from killing the Octopuses and Kraken. Instead, click the battle menu in the lower left hand corner, then click Yes when it asks if you want to finalize the battle. Next, unless you are level 16+, DO NOT attack any units on the isle. Once your ship gets low on health, quickly click on any of the islands labeled with a picture of an anchor. As you sail around, avoid towers and only attack the purple Octopuses and the yellow Kraken. Explore The World To Obtain Gold: Once you reach level 7, you can go to the world map and click "Let's Sail" on the boat. This works great, especially when you have a large number of ranged units. The enemy units will chase your knight for a couple of seconds, and while this is happening, your ranged units will kill a good amount of the enemy army. Then run your knight to your group of ranged units waiting nearby. Then you take a unit with a speed greater than 3 (I usually use a knight for this) and run close to the enemies so they start chasing you. Basically you put all of your ranged units in an area relatively close to a group of enemies (Not too close where they start chasing you, but close enough). Tactic #2: This second tactic is more difficult to perform, because the game makes it difficult to control larger armies, but it is a very effective tactic if done correctly. The close ranged units absorb most of the damage, while the archers and/or catapults can attack without being killed. The archers are placed at the back of the army, where they can rain down arrows on enemies from afar. The swordsmen and knights go in the front, as they have more attack power and more health. I found it best to organize my army in the following way. There are a couple of tactics that I use when battling. Making more units uses up most of your resources and slows down the growth of your empire. Minimize your unit losses: Units are very expensive in this game, so it is important to be smart when battling. Find the right mix of units that you feel works best for you. This is due to the fact that ranged units usually do not have a lot of health, nor do they do a lot of damage. On the other hand, if you only make ranged units, enemy units with a lot of health will easily be able to tear right through those archers.
