Coming Soon...

The next version of EveryGame (1.30) has been submitted to Apple, and should hopefully be released soon. We've got some exciting inclusions in the release. The two that I'm most excited about are our two new included games. Unlike many of the classic abstracts we currently include, the two new games have more of a Eurogame styling, and fantastic artwork to boot!

In Ninjas vs. Pirates, two asymmetric sides battle each other in a race to capture sacks of kittens, in a mashup of memes guaranteed to bring the Internet to its knees.

The less-silly Cities of Calvino has two merchant traders competing to establish markets and sell goods in a world of impossible cities.

Of course, there are many new engine features to incorporate into your own games. Makes something great and want to share? Send it our way! Your own title could make it into a future EveryGame release!

Haypi Kingdom - Tips

Haypi Kingdom iPhone Tips

1. Hide your troops by hunting before going offline.
2. Maximize your resources by upgrading. Hide your resources by selling highest at the market (need people). You can cancel them anytime and get them back (NOT the people). Of course upgrade your cranny (that may not help much due to repeated attacks)
3. Command your troops when attacking / defending(if you are online). Never leave them unattended.
4. You cannot attack a city/sub-city more than 5 times a day. Each consecutive attack in progress gets longer and longer... I believe it is 1/2 hr added on per consecutive attack.
5. You can only take over a sub-city
6. You need to attack a sub-city 10 times consecutively to bring the loyalty down from 100 to 0 to take over the sub-city. So refer to point one, you will need at least 2 alliance members to take down a sub-city in a day.
7. After 20 rounds of battle and you are still unable to win the battle e.g. troops, traps or catapults left by the enemy, you lose the battle.
8. Before the oasis level down after 24 hrs, resign and re-occupy it to renew the 24 hrs lease. Esp. those just beside you.
9. You can occupy an enemy's high level oasis easily if it has no troops. So leave at least 1 catapult for your own and use 1 cavalry to strike
10. Use pure cavalry to farm inactives, cuts down half the time (faster with horse treasure). At least 32 cavalry for level zeros.
11. You can have more than 1 vice-leader - credits to Toph
12. You can only recall your oasis troops from the city/sub-city you sent.

Technical Advice

1. Use wireless when attacking.
2. Before marching to a super major battle, restart your iPhone to clear off the memory, use wireless and ensure that block of time is undisturbed. Else postpone the major battle until you are absolutely ready. You do not want your troops marching to their death...

Haypi Kingdom - Alliance Teamwork (Updates)

I have been thinking of how to leverage the teamwork of the alliance by each concentrating to specialise in a specific area instead of being a jack of all trades, but a master of none.

ROLE

Scout/Recruiter
Provide intelligence and increase ally members. Upgrade scouting skills to the highest. Small packs of cavalry. Find out how many troops in the city or sub-city accurately. Map out the location of forts as levels do not change, especially low level forts in the initial stage. Raid inactives. Income to upgrade scouting skills has to be provided by attackers and defenders. Identify and recruit active members.
Requirements
Levels: 0-3
Army: Small
Primary defense: Alliance protection
Primary army upgrade: Speed
Primary income: Raid inactives/defenders & attackers buy highest or other members treasures at a preset number at the market
Online: Low

Defender/Hunter (Updates)
Cash cow. Upgrade static defense such as Traps (lvl 1-8), Turrets (lvl 9-10) to fend off enemies. Keep on upgrading resources output. Primarily statics for defense. Large army of infantry to farm for gold and treasure. Initial capital income and oasis provided by attackers. Later stages, huge army of infantry to hunt. Steady stream of income to buy treasures to upgrade to pull up the team.
Requirements
Levels: 4-6
Army: Large army of Infantry for Hunting
Primary defense: Static
Primary army upgrade: Speed/Attack
Primary income: Oasis and forts from attackers
Online: Medium

Attacker
Protect alliance, starve strong alliances, raid cities, take-over sub-cities/enemies' oasis, fort farming, provide income to defenders/traders to generate even more income.
Requirements
Levels: >= 6
Army: Large - enough to farm fort (read fort farming guide)
Primary defense: Traps
Primary offense: Catapults/Infrantry (early), Cavalry/Archers (later)
Primary army upgrade: Speed/Defense
Primary income: Raid inactives/farm forts/attack cities/take over sub-cities
Online: High


Do not under-estimate the scouts. The success of an ally depends heavily on intelligence, the number of active members and of course TEAMWORK.

Formula for regeneration on armies.

Army:

Level.......Hourly............Max............Completion Hours
1.............100...............2000....................20.00
2.............300...............4000....................13.33
3.............500...............8000....................16.00

9.............1700..............130000................76.47
10............1900..............180000................94.74

DO NOT occupy the fort. I believe it is a measly $20/hr/lvl.

After destruction of turrets and traps, if you do not occupy it by attacking it 3 times consecutively, it will not regenerate. However, if you occupy it after 3 consecutive attacks and resign, the turrets and traps will be regenerated.
