Final Updates: I was at level 113 when my old iPhone died. After swapping to the new iPhone, I am not sure how to get back my profile, since World War is tied to device. I cannot really remember that I registered with my email. Anyway, I was having maximum allies with units at that time and I changed all my units to aircraft carriers with defense 60 (income 200+ K/hr) and also kept maximum disposal UAV to deter attacks. I started investing into income buildings and static defense flushing my resources and only do the mission with that looted that best free extra unit. Also, started to do sanctions. I could have continued and likely to be at level 200s by now.
Update: I have maxed out to 570 Stiletto M80s (level 19: 19 x 5 x 6 = 570), fortifying defense to 8,550 [(50-35) x 570].
Update: I have maxed out my allies at my current level 18, which is 18 x 5 = 90 (In fact >90). Maxed out naval tankers to 90 x 6 = 540. Slowly converting them to Stilettos M80, building income & defence.
My current strategy is stay at 4 alliances (including my own), max to 24 units with best defence and no upkeep, bank in religiously every hour (X mins on the hour), buy income and defensive buildings.
This is the best piece of advice I have read so far for World War iPhone Strategy. Thanks to thebigguy.
NOTE TO BEGINNERS!!!
"I am sad to see these people that seem to think that they need to attack people to get their health below 27 so people won't attack them and take their money during the night hours while they sleep. This is the only Storm8 game that you can protect yourself enough to not lose to others of your level and number of allies. I have been successfully camping without being farmed for 2 months now and I never bank my money. I guess it really isn't camping. I call it waiting around to be attacked. I have been at the same level for 2 1/2 months now just building up my income and defenses. Even before I got to my current level, I wouldn't ever lose to almost anyone. How do you do this without the normal camping? It is easy, but you can only really do it from levels 8-15.
- First, buy income buildings.
- Second, you must get some allies. 3 to start. Send your code to as many people in your level by going to "attack" and then taping on a players name and then on their comment wall ask them to add you and drop your code. Send out lots of requests but only add three.
- After getting those for allies you need to get 24 water Transports. These will give you some good defense while you are in a income building mode.
- Next, buy more income buildings and start saving your money for tankers. You will need 24. During this time it is very important that you bank your money.
- When you get to 24 tankers, I would rotate between buying an income building, then a defensive building and then another tanker.
- When you get to 54 tankers then you can add more of the allies you have in waiting. Add 5 more so you have 9 allies under your command. Keep buying a tanker, then a defensive building and then an income building.
- When you have 84 tankers, add 5 more allies.
- 114 tankers add 5 more.
- Do this in these increments until you have the max number of allies available for you level. Don't buy any infantry because they are worthless. Land and air units are good but water units are the best defensive units.
- At level 8 you should max out at 40 allies, 9-45, 10-50, 11-55, 12-60 and so on and you need to arm all of these allies with six units each.
- At level 9 you should have 270 tankers. 10 -300. During this time. Don't do any missions, because it will cause you to level up. It is best to build in these lower levels and leveling up too soon can leave you in a level that you cannot afford the best defensive or attacking units available. In these lower units, we use tankers because they have no upkeep and high defense.
- Once you have the maxed out allies and tankers, start building your income and defense.
- I am doing this with the game I am playing on my ipod. I have 16,000 defense points at level 9. Only people who can beat me "by the numbers" have to be level 16 or higher and they have to be fully loaded. The last time I was sanctioned, I lost to one guy who was level 24 but I regularly beat attackers of level 30, 40 and one time I beat an attacker who was level 76, remember, I am level 9. I have an 82% win percentage and it is rising. I now only lose when sanctioned and I mostly don't lose to those attackers either. I have not lost a non-sanctioned attack since I was early level 8 at the beginning of December. Because I don't lose, I don't need to bank my money. I spend it as I go, mostly on income and defense. Before I level up to level 10, my income will be close to 28 million and my defensive buildings will give me 20,000 points and with my tankers my defense will be around 25,000.
